My mom has lumbar canal stenosis and can't walk more than 300 meters or stand for over 5-10 minutes. She's been getting painkiller injections every 6-8 months for the last 3 years but they're not helping anymore. The doctor prescribed Pregabid 50mg twice daily, Dupact 40mg once daily, and Mecobal 1500mg once daily. Will these meds actually help improve her condition or is surgery the better option at her age? Her MRI report shows the severity - just worried if meds can provide real relief or if we should consider surgery

I've been having these sharp pains right behind my ear that come and go pretty quickly. It's like there's also this weird pressure that builds up behind my head and sometimes makes me feel dizzy. Should I be worried about this? Is this something you've seen before, and what might be causing it?
The sharp pain behind your ear, accompanied by pressure behind the head and dizziness, could be related to various factors, including temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, ear infections, eustachian tube dysfunction, or tension headaches; to alleviate symptoms, try applying warm compresses, practicing relaxation techniques, and maintaining good posture, and consider consulting a healthcare professional, such as an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist
