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 trouble walking straight upright. I've dealt with this issue since I was a kid, and my walking posture is really off. My shoulders and back are always hunched forward when I walk. I'm looking for exercises that might help me improve my posture and walk straight. Any suggestions?
Your problem is termed as kyphosis... Kyphosis is an exaggerated, abnormal rounding or curving of the vertebrae that affects the posture.... Kyphosis can result from trauma, degenerative diseases, problems during fetal development, infections, endocrine diseases, birth defects, spinal tumors and other factors.. Depending on cause and severity of the kyphosis, there are many different treatment options. Postural kyphosis may be improved with an exercise and a physical therapy program that strengthens supporting muscles

I'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.
