We’ll need a detailed MRI report to understand if the condition needs surgery or not. As of now if you wish to not operate then physiotherapy is the best for you. Please visit and experienced physiotherapist and also understand the condition so you can take the cautions as needed

Hello Coach, Arun from delhi, 43 years old (weight 81 Kg, Height 5 ft 8 inch), sedentary job style. I was very health conscious about diet, fitness. But during workout for abdominal strength, there was some pain in my back & doctor suggest for MRI and found there was slip disc / disc herniation issue of L4-L5. During last 2.6 years, does several physiotherapy with renowned physio center, yoga & focusing on my diet plan. After 1.6 years also comparing MRI report, shows almost same situation. Need your guidance in this matter, how to recover from pain. Because my current situation is, while standing 5-6 minutes, or walking 5-10 minutes, pain increase from buttock to left side feet. Then I have to take rest for 3-4 minutes, to start again. So, please guide me or suggest me as per your experience. Thanks Arun kumar
Ans: Hello Arun,
Please do let me know more details about the physiotherapy done. Did they give you a Mckenzie program for slipped disc as that is one of the best treatment for disc issues. It includes systematic exercises like wall side glides, road kill position, back extensions. If you are having pain on left side of leg/feet it seems to be a posterolateral disc protrusion for which the wall side glides are very important.
Have you been working on your core? Are your Vitamin D3 and B12 levels ok? How much is your weight now?
If not already please goto a Mckenzie certified physiotherapist and it can make a lot of difference.
If not ok after that also then you may need to go to an orthopedic doctor and consider a minor surgery for the disc.
All the best!

I gave 12th class exams last year scored 81% dummy school had 66 and 77 percentile in mains 1 and 2 and 90.2 percentile in mhtcet being a non Maharashtraian. 123 in bitsat. Took a drop, studied hard yet scored 60 percentile in mains 2025 first attempt. Feeling disheartened havent been able to study nicely after results. Will it be practical to focus on mains 2 as i doubt my capabilities or bitsat entirely? Or any other exam i have a good scope in? Wish to get into a tier 1 clg (have delhi domicile as i did my 12th from delhi). If yes, how do i build the momentum and get back to studies and which exam should i be focusing on since i have failed mains 1 also.
Ans: Hello dear.
Remember, the JEE exam and passing engineering from 1st tier engg college can't be a parameter of success in life If you look nearby, many people are successful, but none of them have completed their engineering from 1st tier college or cleared JEE like competitive examinations. You tried your best but failed to crack JEE in 1 or 2 attempts. No problem. You are not alone in this worst situation (as per your thinking)! You also gave the MHT-CET and got a good percentile (90.2). You could be admitted to a good private engg college with this percentile in Maharashtra. But why you did not take this decision is not clear. I would like to suggest you, please drop the idea of appearing for JEE this time and clear any state-level engineering entrance examination. Take admission to a reputed private engineering college and start you journey in a fresh mood. For your reference, there are 10 engineering colleges in India where you can get admission without a JEE score.

Focus either on the state-level engineering entrance examination or choose the best options from the given link, if your financial position is strong.

My son has got 91 percentile in the recent jee exam , he has next attempt in april, but i feel its difficult for him , can i know about other good colleges in karnataka , as im based their. interested in computer science and aeronautical degree, also advise some recent good courses for his career in india.
Ans: Hello Manoj.
Do not get stressed at this stage. Even though his score is 91 percentile in 1st attempt, he can do well in 2nd attempt. But from the safer side, ask him to appear in the Karnataka State Engineering Entrance Examination also. Even if he scores less in JEE on 2nd attempt, he may good college via the state entrance examination in CSE or aeronautical engineering as per your wish. For your reference, there are 10 colleges in India where you can get admission without a JEE score. To know more details, please copy and paste the following link into your browser- https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/education/news/10-engineering-colleges-in-india-for-pursuing-btech-without-jee-main-2025-score/articleshow/118162587.cms.
There are no such courses to be called as recent. The choice of courses depends upon the interest of your son. Hence there is no need to hurry and get into panic at this stage. Let him appear for both exams first, Ask about his interests, and then choose the course accordingly. I would be happy to suggest you after knowing his scores in JEE+State entrance + his liking.
Till then, ask him to focus only on two engineering entrance exams. Best of luck to your son for upcoming exams.
