Question 1

I've had lower back pain since October 2020, and my MRI showed disc bulging at L3, L4, L5, and S1. I also have sciatica nerve pain down my left leg. I've been doing physiotherapy with heat and electrotherapy for 18 days, but it's not getting better. Would seeing a chiropractor help faster, or is surgery my only option?

Accepted Answer

Disc bulges with sciatica may improve with physiotherapy and pain meds; chiropractic care may help but surgery is advised only if severe symptoms persist.

Question 2

I'm 26 and I've been dealing with some health issues that have me worried. My blood pressure has been pretty highranging from 175110 to 15589and I've got this persistent headache on the upper part of my head, around the skull area. Even though my lipid profile came back normal, the Venogram MRI showed hypoplastic left transverse and sigmoid sinuses. I'm currently on medication just for the high BP because my doctor is out of town and I'm not sure what my next steps should be. Could my headache be connected to the high blood pressure somehow?

Accepted Answer

Ovulation typically occurs 24-36 hours after an HCG trigger shot. However, some women may ovulate earlier, within 12-24 hours.

Given your symptoms and the timing of the HCG shot, it's possible that you may have ovulated earlier than expected.

To maximize the chances of successful IUI, consider the following options:

1. Proceed with IUI as scheduled, as the timing may still be optimal.
2. Inform your doctor about the early ovulation symptoms, and they may adjust the IUI timing or recommend additional interventions.

Question 3

MRI shows a type 2 AICA loop in my left ear causing vertigo. I've tried multiple treatments but nothing helps. Is surgery an option to remove the loop, and how complex would it be?

I've been experiencing some trouble with balancing while walking over the past few days, and it feels like my head is spinning, especially when I wake up in the morning. It's a bit less noticeable as the day goes on, but it's still there. Any ideas on what could be causing this?
