I've been diagnosed with a medium-sized benign vestibular schwannoma in my right ear about a year ago. My symptoms are just tinnitus and mild sensorineural hearing loss. I'm confused about treatment options should I try Ayurveda or go straight for allopathic surgery? The doctors recommended stereotactic radiosurgery but I'm not sure what's best for my case

For the past year and a half, I've had constant lower back pain due to an L4-L5 herniated disc. Doctors say it might be pinching nerves too. I've tried everything allopathy, ayurveda, physio but the pain won't go away. Now I'm also dealing with joint pain, neck pain, and nerve pain all over. Is there really no permanent fix for a slipped disc besides surgery? If I go for surgery, will I ever be able to run or play like before?

Deciding the course of action depends upon the severity of symptoms and the findings on MRI scan. Next Steps Need a few more details to advise anything specific.
