I've had lower back pain and pain down the back of one leg for the last 3 months. My MRI shows L5-S1 has a partial disc desiccation with a broad-based posterocentral disc protrusion pressing on both neural foramina, indenting the thecal sac and touching the S1 nerve roots. L4-L5 also has partial disc desiccation and a diffuse posterior bulge indenting the thecal sac but no major nerve compression. What are the non-surgical treatment options for this I've lost a lot of weight and now have bad posture could that be making my back pain worse How can I fix both the posture and the back and leg pain

I'm having a tough time with my jaw lately. When I open my mouth, it shifts to the right, and when I close it, it goes to the left. There's also this clicking sound on the right side whenever I open my mouth. It seems like the left side is way more flexible than the right. Plus, I'm finding it hard to open my mouth fully and I've been experiencing trouble breathing when I sleep on my back. My face feels so tight and tired all the time. On top of that, my neck and back are hurting quite a bit. I'm really not sure what to do at this point. Are there any exercises or treatments that might help with this?
Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you may be experiencing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. You can take an anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen 400mg to reduce inflammation and pain in the jaw joint. For the clicking sound and difficulty in jaw movement, you can try doing jaw exercises such as gentle jaw stretches, chin tucks, and jaw opening and closing exercises. These exercises can help improve the mobility and strength of your jaw muscles. It is also important to practice good posture, avoid chewing gum, and eat soft foods to reduce strain on your jaw. Applying a warm compress to the jaw area can also help alleviate muscle tension. If your symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend seeking further evaluation and treatment from a dentist or a TMJ specialist.
