I'm experiencing some stiffness in my lower back and there's pain that's running through my right leg. Occasionally, my right leg even feels numb. There are also weird sensations in my lower back. I've already done an X-ray and MRI, which showed that there's a disc bulge and the disc is compressed. What do you think might be going on, and what should I do next?

That could be Lumbago, maintain proper posture and get physiotherapy done, avoid lifting heavy weights take adequate rest

I'm not sure what's going on, but I've been feeling really dizzy whenever I'm sitting, standing, or even talking to someone. It's making it tough to do simple things. Plus, I can't seem to look at anything that rotates without feeling worse. I got a brain CT scan done, but it came back normal, and the meds I've tried, like Vertistar, Sturgeon, and Gravol, aren't doing anything for me. Im still struggling. Can you help me figure out what's happening?

You seem to be suffering from a condition known as visual vertigo which is a condition causing vertigo and imbalance commonly associated with migraine. You may need to undergo detailed vestibular evaluation. Treatment may require anti migraine medications and vestibular rehabilitation therapy
