Question

I've been dealing with a bulging disc at L4 L5 S1 on my right side, and I used to get this electric shock-like pain down my right leg when sleeping, walking, or sneezing. But now the pain has switched to my left leg in the same area, and the worst part is I'm getting that shooting current-like pain in my left front thigh joint when walking. Is there any way this can heal completely without needing surgery?

Your symptoms suggest bilateral nerve involvement. Non-surgical options like physiotherapy, posture correction, and medications can help, but MRI and expert evaluation are essential.

Question

I'm experiencing these weird full-body muscle vibrations, almost like internal waves, whenever I move. It's been going on for about 2.5 years now, and it happens in my neck, shoulders, arms, legspretty much everywhere. Whenever I bend down, I feel this wave-like sensation in my back, too. Along with that, I've been having neck and back pain. Can you help me figure out what's going on? I'm really curious and a bit worried about these symptoms.

Question

I'm a chartered accountancy student who's prepping for my final exams. I tackled my first attempt in May after a hardcore four-month study spree. But right before that, in April, I started getting these chronic headaches that only went away after long naps. Now, I'm gearing up for my second attempt in November, and those headaches are back again. They really hit me hard on the sides and the lower back of my skull. I've made sure to get an eye test done, and everything's fine there, no need for specs. I'm at a bit of a loss here. Any insights on what might be causing these headaches and how I can manage them?
