I've had lower back issues for 12 years, and my recent MRI showed a protruded disc and severe disc bulge from L2 to S1 affecting four discs. Doctors advised against surgery and recommended managing it with physiotherapy. Will I have to keep suffering like this, or are there any nonsurgical treatments that can permanently fix my lower back problem? I've already spent around 80,000 on physio, ayurveda, yoga, marma therapy, and painkillers with no lasting relief.

Long-standing disc bulge needs targeted rehab; surgical options like microdiscectomy can be explored if symptoms persist.

View allI'm wondering if practicing hand exercises just once a month could be harmful in any way. Could you shed some light on whether this is safe or if there are any risks involved?
Masturbating once a month is generally considered safe and not harmful to your physical or mental health; in fact, masturbation can have several benefits, such as reducing stress, improving sleep, and boosting mood, as long as it's done in moderation and doesn't interfere with your daily life or relationships.

I've been having these annoying muscle spasms for the last couple of days in that V-cut area of my lower abdomen, you know, where it leads down to the pelvis. It's a bit strange because they always seem to happen in the same spot unless I'm lying on my right side, then they shift to the middle of my lower abdomen. I talked to a neurologist friend of the family, and they mentioned it might be due to a stretched muscle, but I don't really feel any pain there. Just wondering if that sounds right to you or if it could be something else?
