What is a pre stroke?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A pre stroke is also known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA). It is nothing but a small stroke. It is experienced when blood supply to brain is stopped for a very short period. Its effects may be experienced for a few hours or for a few minutes. The symptoms usually subside within 24 hours. They begin rapidly, and they go away very soon.

I'm dealing with a slip disk at L4-5 and L5-S1, and my doctors are suggesting surgery. But I've been on medications like Razo 20mg, Pregabid 75mg, Decort 6, and D3 once daily, and I've noticed some improvement over the past week, especially with the numbness getting better. I really don't want to go through surgery if I can avoid it. Do you think it's possible to keep this improvement going with just meds and avoid the operation altogether?
