I've been diagnosed with a slipped disc at L4 L5 S1 and have a lot of pain, especially shooting down my left leg. My doctor prescribed neorelax mr 8, gabanuron od, and gemcal along with exercises twice a day and ice packs. Will this treatment actually help me recover or should I consider surgery for this issue

Slip disc treatment with medications and physiotherapy may help; surgery is for cases with severe nerve compression or no improvement after 6–8 weeks.

I'm really worried because my mom has been dealing with some kind of disease for over a year now. We've been to so many physicians and psychiatrists, and we've done various tests, but everything comes back normal. It's just so confusing, and we're not sure what steps to take next. She's currently taking medicines like Redion XT, Panor DSR, Etizolam, PKimitrip, Eteolam 0.5, and Lozipam 1, but nothing seems to work. I'm desperate for some advice on what might actually help her or even a recommendation for a doctor who could be the right fit to understand her health issue. Could anyone guide us?

I've been experiencing some unusual sensations and I'm a bit concerned. Lately, I've noticed a persistent vibration throughout my body, but it seems like I'm the only one who can feel it. Additionally, there's this burning feeling in my legs that's quite uncomfortable. And on top of that, there's a tightness in the skin on both my legs and arms. It's a strange mix of symptoms, and I'm not sure what's causing them or what I should do next. Could you help shed some light on this?

Could be peripheral neuropathy, difficult to ascertain without proper examination and history taking. For the symptoms you have described, you can consider taking Neurobion Forte tablets, along with Shelcal HD tablets. These medications can help with nerve health and overall well-being.
