I'm dealing with some dizziness and recently got a cervical spine MRI. The results showed a bulge in c5 c6, but there's no nerve compression. Should I be worried about this, and what kind of treatments are available? Also, I'm experiencing a stiff neck on the left side.

A bulging disc at C5-C6 without nerve compression is usually not a major cause for concern, but it can cause discomfort, dizziness, and stiffness. Physical therapy, good posture habits, and self-care (heatcold therapy, pain relief) are common treatments. However, if you continue to experience persistent symptoms, its important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further management and to rule out other potential causes of your dizziness.

I've been dealing with head spinning for years now, and it's really starting to worry me. I had an MRI scan about three years ago and have been on medications like Icosar Lipikind Plus and Vertizoc since then, but I still get these dizzy spells pretty often. Do you have any idea why this might be happening or what else I could do?

I had surgery on my left leg back in March 2017 and my NCS report shows CMAP is absent in the left tibial and peroneal nerves. There's also no sensory nerve action in the sural and superficial peroneal, plus F waves are absent in both tibial and peroneal. What does this mean and what should I do next?

neurologist opinion is advised.
