Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If pain develops suddenly and is severe, such as from an injury ( fall) and if pain and symptoms (eg, weakness) progressively worsen you should seek medical attention.

View allI have a slipped disc at L4L5 causing pain in my right leg and want to explore non-surgical treatments. Can you suggest medicine options that don't involve antibiotics? I'm really worried about surgery and hoping for alternatives.
For non-surgical management of a slipped disc at L4-L5 causing right leg pain, consider over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or naproxen, and potentially prescription pain medications like tramadol or corticosteroids under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Heat or ice therapy, along with physical therapy and alternative therapies like acupuncture or massage, can also help with pain management and muscle relaxation.

I've been having meniscus pain and the doctor suggested keyhole surgery but I'm not sure I want to go through with it. Are there other options to manage the pain or heal without surgery? What would you recommend trying first?
Yes, there are alternative options to manage meniscus pain and potentially heal without surgery. Initially, try the RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) and over-the-counter pain relievers like NSAIDs. Physical therapy can also help improve range of motion and strength. If these conservative treatments don't provide enough relief, discuss options like steroid injections or a more intensive physical therapy program with your doctor
