Question

I'm experiencing this annoying twitching in my left eye's upper eyelid for the past month. It stops when I close or stretch my eye, but after a while, it starts up again for like 30 seconds. My glasses haven't changed in power since I got new ones about six months ago. Any ideas on how I can stop this twitching?

Question

I'm experiencing some stiffness in my lower back and there's pain that's running through my right leg. Occasionally, my right leg even feels numb. There are also weird sensations in my lower back. I've already done an X-ray and MRI, which showed that there's a disc bulge and the disc is compressed. What do you think might be going on, and what should I do next?
