Question by Mahaboob - Nov 14, 2024Hindi

Health

Hi sir, I've been having neck and lower back pain, and my MRI shows bulges in my neck and lower back discs. I've been going to physiotherapy sessions for 5 years, but I haven't seen much improvement. During sleep, it's become unbearable to sleep on my back because of a huge amount of pain. When I get up, it'll be fine in 1 hour. I'm using a curvy neck pillow, a medicated bed, and I've tried sleeping on the floor without a bed, so please tell me how to get rid of this.

Ans: Dear Mr. Mahaboob,

I'm sorry to hear about your ongoing discomfort. Disc bulges in the neck and lower back can be tough to manage, but consistent care can make a difference. Alongside physiotherapy, incorporating daily gentle stretching and strengthening exercises is essential to relieve pressure on the discs. Small adjustments to your medicated bed or neck pillow, recommended by your therapist, might also improve sleep comfort. Be mindful of posture throughout the day and consider ergonomic support, especially while sitting. Before bed, try a hot or cold pack to help relax muscles and ease pain. For long-term relief, managing stress, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding high-impact activities will help protect your spine. While disc conditions are chronic, steady, small steps like these can greatly improve quality of life. Wishing you quick recovery.

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on Apr 21, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - Feb 13, 2025Hindi

Relationship

A guy had a crush on me. He started contacting me then confessed that he likes me. . Then gradually i happened to really like him. I started reciprocating my feelings and we were constantly in touch after being vocal on how much we like each other. After few months he started to show low energy then stopped contacting me. When i tried to reach him again he said we can be bestfriends and that I'll always be his crush. Nothing more than that. I was extremely hurt. Suddenly after week's he texted me saying Thankyou as he cleared his university Exam (i helped him out) . What should I do now. Shall I respond or not. And does he want me back or what's going inside him

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
It is very difficult to tell what’s going on in someone’s mind, or how feelings change suddenly; it is unfair but it’s very common. If he has clearly mentioned that he does not want anything romantic with you, it is best to not pursue. I understand that it has hurt you, and maybe somewhere, it has also hurt your ego, but it is best to respect his boundaries. Coming to responding to his message- since he has thanked you for your help, it would be decent to reply; you can do it with a simple “you are welcome.” But I won’t force you to do it; if you think that he doesn’t deserve it, then you can avoid it. But if you are wondering if he wants you back, as an onlooker, I didn’t see any indication of that. Then again, as I mentioned, it is difficult to tell what’s going on in someone’s mind. If you want clarity, you should have an open discussion and ask him about it. That much explanation he owes you.

Hope this helps
