I've been diagnosed with a 3.5mm L5 S1 disc bulge causing sciatic nerve pain in my right leg. Is there any way to cure this permanently without surgery? How long might it take to recover with non-surgical treatments?

These issues can impact your ability to eat solid foods and could require a period of recovery and therapy.

I'm experiencing this strange sensation whenever I go to bed and move around, it feels like there's movement, and then when I stand up, my feet feel like they're moving too. I've been taking Neurocetam Plus as advised by my ENT doctor for the last 17 days, but this keeps happening every 8 to 10 days. The good news is that the sensation seems to become less intense each time it occurs, but it's still really concerning me. Any thoughts on what might be going on or what I should do next?

you continue medicine, it take time to cure.
