For the past 30 days, I have been unable to taste or smell anything. Additionally, I am experiencing a strange, unpleasant taste that is the same for all types of food, whether spicy or not. I had a COVID 19 test, which came back negative, and I also underwent blood tests, which I have attached.

Loss of smell and taste for 30 plus days may occur after viral infections (COVID, other viruses). Sometimes it is part of post viral fatigue syndrome. Try zinc supplements, vitamin B12, and olfactory training (sniffing essential oils daily). If no improvement in 2 to 3 weeks, consult ENT.

I have been diagnosed with L4, L5, and S1 disc bulge. I am being treated with medicines and exercises prescribed by doctors. It has been 2 years, and I still have not recovered. I continue to face issues with bending forward or backward, side bending, stiffness in my back, and difficulty with prolonged sitting, standing, or walking?
