Question

I've been diagnosed with a 3.5mm L5 S1 disc bulge causing sciatic nerve pain in my right leg. Is there any way to cure this permanently without surgery? How long might it take to recover with non-surgical treatments?

I get migraines at least 3 times a week and they can be anything from mild to really bad. Is there no permanent fix for this through meds or even surgery? It's really affecting my daily life.

Question

I'm a chartered accountancy student who's prepping for my final exams. I tackled my first attempt in May after a hardcore four-month study spree. But right before that, in April, I started getting these chronic headaches that only went away after long naps. Now, I'm gearing up for my second attempt in November, and those headaches are back again. They really hit me hard on the sides and the lower back of my skull. I've made sure to get an eye test done, and everything's fine there, no need for specs. I'm at a bit of a loss here. Any insights on what might be causing these headaches and how I can manage them?

Question

I'm not sure what's going on, but I've been feeling really dizzy whenever I'm sitting, standing, or even talking to someone. It's making it tough to do simple things. Plus, I can't seem to look at anything that rotates without feeling worse. I got a brain CT scan done, but it came back normal, and the meds I've tried, like Vertistar, Sturgeon, and Gravol, aren't doing anything for me. Im still struggling. Can you help me figure out what's happening?
