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?

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.

I have a disc bulge at C5-C7 according to my MRI report which shows cervical canal dimensions from C2 to C7 as C2C3 11mm, C3C4 9mm, C4C5 11mm, C5C6 10mm, C6C7 9mm. 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? Right now I'm doing isometric neck exercises but wondering if surgery might be needed. If I wanted to consult you in person, where in OMR road could I meet you?

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
