My father is 62 and has trouble walking his leg below the knee goes numb, and he has to stop for 10-12 minutes before he can walk again. A neurosurgeon recommended surgery, but he doesn't want to go through with it. He's been taking Neurobin Forte and finds it helpful, but is there a more effective tablet or medicine that can manage his pain and symptoms without surgery? The MRI report shows some issues, but he's hesitant about an operation. What else can we try?
It's understandable that your father is hesitant about surgery. While Neurobin Forte might offer some relief, other medications and therapies may be explored to manage his symptoms without surgery. Focusing on pain management, improving blood flow, and managing nerve compression, with a multi-pronged approach, can be helpful.

I'm experiencing headaches frequently and I'm really worried. I already visited an ENT doctor, but the headaches keep coming back. What could be causing them and should I see a different specialist?
