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.

Is there any homeopathic treatment for hydrocephalus that can avoid surgery I'm really worried about surgical options and looking for alternatives that might help manage this condition

hydrocephalus is a condition in which the fluid in the brain increases so much so that it presses on the brain tissue. if the pressure keeps on increasing, a lot can go wrong. the increase in the fluid can be due to over production or due to inefficient drainage. the only available treatment is by shunting which is done by surgery by inserting a shunt. you should undergo surgery ASAP. to avoid complications. no other treatment is available in any form of medicine.

I've been noticing that I only feel dizzy when I sneeze, and it's something that's happened several times in the past. But today, it got really bothersome because after a sneeze, I actually lost my balance and fell down. Is there any medicine or solution that could help with this?

This sounds like a case of vasovagal syncope, where sneezing triggers a sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure, leading to dizziness and fainting. Medication such as Fludrocortisone can help increase blood volume and reduce the likelihood of fainting episodes triggered by sneezing. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
