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?

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

View allI'm going through treatment for Abdominal TB and since April 2016, my liver got affected too and I was close to having jaundice. My doctor switched up some meds, and now I'm on a daily streptomycin injection plan for 60 days. I'm on injection number 33, but lately, I've been feeling super dizzy all the time and find it hard to maintain my balance while walking. At first, I thought it might just be weakness, especially since I returned to work in mid-June, but when it persisted for 34 days, I saw my doctor again. He thinks it's Vertigo and gave me some medicine, but it's been 2.5 weeks and there's no sign of improvement. I even checked in with an ENT and the cochlear and audiometric tests turned out normal. I'm really getting anxious about this dizziness and imbalance. Do you think this can be cured, and should I be seeing a specific type of doctor for help? I can't even manage car rides anymore. Any advice or suggestions you might have would really mean a lot to me.

While there is no definitive permanent cure for Epilepsy at this time, there is an opportunity for those living with Epilepsy. By understanding the issues and the potential solutions for an effective treatment, we can pursue a path to a future in which Epilepsy will no longer be an issue that lasts for a lifetime. Despite these difficulties, Researchers are looking for ways to find an effective cure. Some of the research areas include: Gen therapy is changing genes to treat seizures caused by abnormalities. Stem cell therapy uses the stem cell to restore damaged cells within the brain and restore function. Neurostimulation employs devices for stimulating the brain and reducing seizures.
