I've been feeling unsteady while walking for the past 3 years, so I got a CT scan that showed dehiscence of the lateral semicircular canal. I had ear surgery, but the surgeon said there was no dehiscence only an infection, which they cleared during the procedure. My unsteadiness hasn't improved, and I'm really confused was the CT scan wrong or did the surgeon miss something? Who should I see next to figure this out? It's been so long without any answers, and I'm really worried this might be something serious with no solution

Question

I've been diagnosed with a diffuse posterior bulge at L5S1 disc and a medium-sized left paracentral protrusion that's pressing on my left nerve root, indenting the thecal sac, and affecting both neural foramina. My doctor is recommending surgery, but I really want to avoid it. Are there any other treatment options I can explore? What else could help with this kind of disc issue?

Question

I've noticed that every time I try to stand on one leg with my eyes closed, I lose my balance. Should I be worried about a nervous disorder? Everything's fine when both legs are on the ground or if I have my eyes open standing on one leg. Plus, I'm having a tough time concentrating and remembering things, like names of old friends and terms from books, which started about a year ago. Could these be related?
