I've been dealing with back pain that radiates to both legs and MRI shows disc issues, scoliosis, and stenosis in L4-L5. I'm doing physiotherapy and taking meds but the pain keeps coming back every 5-6 months. Surgery isn't an option for me what else can I try to manage this long-term?

To manage persistent back pain radiating to both legs, despite physiotherapy and medication, consider exploring these long-term approaches:
- Lifestyle Modifications:
Maintain a Healthy Weight: Excess weight can exacerbate back pain and nerve compression.
Proper Posture: Pay attention to your posture during sitting, standing, and lifting to minimize strain on your spine. Regular Exercise: Engage in low-impact exercises like walking, swimming, or cycling to strengthen back muscles and improve flexibility. Ergonomics: Adjust your workstation and home environment to promote proper posture and reduce strain. Quit Smoking: Smoking can negatively impact bone health and worsen back pain.

View allI had IPCL eye surgery two months ago and ever since then, I get a one-sided headache whenever I'm exposed to outside air. Taking something like Sinarest gives me relief for half a day, but then the headache comes back. I mentioned this to my doctor at Vasan Eye Care Hospital, but nothing helped. It's really affecting my work and making me frustrated what could be causing this?
eye opinion is advised.

I've been dealing with some weird numbness in my left leg, specifically below the knee and above the foot. It all started after I was sitting for a while with my legs stretched out. I thought it was just the usual numbness from stretching and figured it would go away, but it's still there, and I can barely feel anything in that area. Is this something I should be worried about, or is there anything I can do to make it go away faster?
Tke some time rest your leg in supine position,it will settle,if its becoming worse,visit General Physician for appropriate management

I'm feeling some strange movements just below my eye, under the skin, and I'm concerned because I've been using guasha. I might have pressed too hard when I was massaging, and now I'm worried I might have damaged the tissue there. Theres no redness or puffiness, and it looks normal, but it does make me uncomfortable sometimes. Is there any medicine or treatment that might help with this?
That could be Muscle twitching no need to worry it will self resolve, take adequate rest and consume healthy food.
