Slip disc
L5 S1 disc degeneration, hernation with sequestration.
After seeing the MRI, the doc gave me steroid injection & told to wait & observe the result.
I am limping now with numbness in left foot from exterior side & sole.
My doubt is, the disc is already quite out & pressing on the nerves. From the picture I could make out that it's already 80% out & pushing on nerves. Should I wait or request for surgery??
Many thanks

The doctor has told to continue these pills. Is this correct? Will it have any side effects? Does she stay asleep longer since starting the pills? Should the pill dose be reduced?

Balance issue, difficulty in walking
After completing a six-month akt course eight months back, my mother developed diabetes and peripheral neuropathy six months back. She is currently taking gabapin 100 (1-0-1) and dulot 20 (0-0-1) for her neuropathy, as neuropathy made difficult for her to walk normally and cause balance issues. Her balance problem persists because she is unable to stand for extended periods of time without assistance. She also has trouble walking longer. Additionally linked are NCV reports. Please advise what the best course of action would be to get her back to walking normally. Sugar is normal since last 4 months, mri brain, cervical spine, lumbosacral all normal. Still trouble walking smoothly and trouble standing longer without support. Also, trouble climbing stairs without assistance. Left leg is normal, only right leg became very weak. Also slight numbness in right foot. kindly suggest best solution for her to walk normally and stand without any assistance

Fever and loss of sense.
My father is 78, he is suffering from normal pressure hydrocephalus. He couldn't walk and now couldn't eat properly. Doctors suggested that since he is too old, he couldn't opt for surgery.
He has been suffering from fever for two days and now has lost sense. Doesn't answer anybody's call.
We did see the family doctor, but his fever would go away only for a while.
What are the possible treatments for him?
Thankyou.
