I've had a fracture in my right hand, and as a result, my radial nerve got damaged. Now my wrist has dropped, and I can't lift my fingers anymore. I'm currently going through physiotherapy, but I'm not seeing much improvement. What could be going wrong, and is there anything else I should be doing to help with the recovery?

I'm sorry to hear about the difficulty you're experiencing with your radial nerve injury. It's common to see slow progress with nerve recovery, but consistency with physiotherapy is key. If you're not noticing significant improvement, it might be helpful to reassess your treatment plan with your healthcare provider to explore additional options.

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‚Äì8 weeks.
