View allI've been diagnosed with disc bulging and dessication at L4L5 and L5S1 with central protrusion and annular tear causing canal and foraminal narrowing. The report says it's impinging on nerve roots, especially at L4L5, with canal dimensions around 9.9 mm and 10.8 mm. Surgery isn't an option for us right now, but I'm worried about managing the pain and symptoms, especially since we'll be traveling soon. What can we do to ease discomfort or prevent further issues while we're away? Any specific precautions we should take during the trip?
To manage pain and discomfort from disc bulging, dessication, and annular tear at L4-L5 and L5-S1 while traveling, focus on conservative measures, including pain relief, physical therapy exercises, and support while traveling

I'm 17 and for the last 6 months, I've been dealing with this awful spinning and imbalance sensation. It's messing up my life, and I feel like nothing is helping. I've tried so many medicines, and my doctor prescribed Diligan 25, but I'm really anxious about seeing any improvement. What can I do to make this stop?

I'm really concerned about my mom. She's been diabetic for a while, and lately, she's been saying that her whole body goes numb when she's sleeping. It's been happening for about a month, and I'm not sure what type of doctor we should see about this. Could you guide me on who to consult?
Based on your symptoms, the white patches could be: 1. *Vitiligo*: An autoimmune condition causing skin depigmentation. 2. *Pityriasis Alba*: A harmless skin condition causing white patches, often on elbows and knees. 3. *Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)*: A skin condition causing white patches, redness, and itching. 4. *Psoriasis*: An autoimmune condition causing white, scaly patches. Consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. They may recommend: 1. Topical creams or ointments 2. Light therapy 3. Oral medications Share your medical history, including the treatment you received at 17, to help the dermatologist make an accurate diagnosis.
