Ans: Hello Anonymous,
Have you recently done your blood tests especially for Vitamin D3, Vitamin B12?
Low Vitamin D3 levels can give disturbed sleep as well as joint pains.
If you have done the blood tests you can share with me if anything amiss and I can guide you accordingly.
All the best!

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.
