I've been feeling like my head is spinning and my vision is kind of shaky for the past two weeks. I got my CBC test done, and I noticed my monocyte value is at 0. Can you help me understand how this might relate to what's going on with my health? I'm quite worried about it.

I've been dealing with this issue after getting into a fight where a girl pulled my hair really hard and even kicked it. Ever since then, I've noticed a dent in my head and when I try to put my hair up, there's this big lump that runs across my whole head. It feels like there's fluid inside and it's super uneven. I've been to the doctor and even the hospital, but nobody seems to know what it is, and it's really painful. What could this be, and do you have any ideas on how I can get relief?

That could be contusion or hematoma no need to worry it will settle with time take adequate rest and you can try warm compression

I've just gotten my MRI results and I'm feeling anxious about what it all means. It says there's a diffuse disc bulge at L4-L5 causing thecal sac indentation and compression of both existing nerve roots. Also, at L5-S1, it mentions a similar disc bulge with indentation and nerve compression including bilateral neural foramina. I'm worried about what kind of symptoms or issues this could lead to. Could you explain what this might mean for my health and what steps I should take next?
