Question

My father is 73 and his MRI report shows cauda equina compression. His blood count is low too, so surgery might be risky at his age. Are there any injections or tablets that can help treat this without surgery? He's really not in a condition to handle a major procedure right now. What options do we have?

Question

I'm having a tough time with my anxiety disorder lately. Suddenly, I'm feeling this odd tingling in my hands, plus stomach pains, my elbows burning, back pain, and sometimes it's hard to catch my breath. I'm also sweating way more than I used to, especially in my hands, feet, and forehead. And when I'm lying down, I can feel this really strong pulse in my hands and at the bottom left of my feet. It's super weird because I've had a ton of tests like ECGs and stress tests, and they all showed up normal. I also have POTS and my heart feels like it's racing even if I'm just walking. And with Raynaud's syndrome, it used to just affect my hands but now it's all over my body, leaving these red patches and it feels like prickly burns. My gums have started bleeding too, and my wisdom tooth has been hurting like crazy, especially when I eat. The pain after stress is baffling, thoughit only lasts for a few hours. Could you help me figure out what might be going on and what I should do next?

Question

I've been dealing with some serious low back pain for the past eight months, and I'm really getting concerned. I'm 24 years old, 6 feet tall, and weigh 80 kg, and I'm experiencing pain that radiates into my legs, thighs, hips, and even affects my walking and standing. I already tried lots of allopathy medications, but I still haven't found any relief. An X-ray scan showed that there's a diffuse bulge at disc L5S1. It even hurts when I cough or sneeze. Can you suggest something that might actually help?

Question

Ive been experiencing this cold sensation on the left side of my brain and face quite a lot lately. It's starting to concern me, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Is this something I should be worried about, or could it be related to something specific? I'd really appreciate your thoughts on this.
