My D11 disc is totally damaged should I go for medicine or surgery to get better results? What would you recommend based on your experience?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For a completely damaged D11 disc, a comprehensive approach involving both conservative treatments and surgical options is recommended. Initially, conservative measures like pain medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments should be explored to manage symptoms and promote healing. If these approaches are insufficient, or if there are significant neurological issues like weakness or paralysis, surgery may be considered.

Doctors say this is causing my left arm and wrist pain, making it hard to sleep or work. I've seen multiple doctors but no one has given me a clear solution. Is this condition curable?

I've been diagnosed with a medium-sized benign vestibular schwannoma in my right ear about a year ago. My symptoms are just tinnitus and mild sensorineural hearing loss. I'm confused about treatment options should I try Ayurveda or go straight for allopathic surgery? The doctors recommended stereotactic radiosurgery but I'm not sure what's best for my case
