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.

View allI'm starting to feel concerned about my health because I've been experiencing a heavy tongue and slurred speech sometimes. I've already checked for any kind of stroke, and thankfully, that came back negative. I've been feeling quite distraught and restless occasionally. I used to be diagnosed with sleep apnea, but I've been using a CPAP machine, and my sleep has improved quite a lot since then. Despite that, I sometimes notice muscle weakness in my thighs and calves, and I also have lower back pain. An MRI showed that I have a bulging disc that's pressing on my nerves. I'm really perplexed about the heavy tongue and would love some insights on why that might be happening.
all reports are normal it can be due to anxiety

I 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.
