Question by Nitin on Feb 16, 2023Hindi

Health

HI , I have Sciatica pain for last one year - which start from lower back and goes to left leg . Can you suggest long term effective treatment .Also when should one look at having surgery.

Ans: Hello Nitin,
You need to consult an orthopedic or physiotherapist to understand the cause of the sciatic. Is it due to slipped disc in the low back or due to muscle spasms etc.
Once the correct diagnosis is done the physiotherapy treatment itself cures the sciatica. Usually surgery is not required unless in severe cases where physiotherapy is not helping. Core muscle training and certain stretches are also important which the physiotherapist can guide you about.
All the best!

I have been acute sciatica problem since last 5 months. I have pain in my calf muscle can I get relief from Yoga?

Ans: Hi Vikas, Many people find sciatica relief with yoga, as certain yoga stretches relieve the pressure felt on the nerve. These include Pigeon Pose, Downward Facing Dog, Cobra, Seated spinal twist, child pose, and also standing forward bend. Do note that individual experience tends to vary, so please listen to the body and don't force any stretches that don't feel comfortable. All the best!

I am having persistent back pain for almost 15 years now, the pain is now reaching my legs & if I walk for more than 5 mins continously it pains a lot & I have to stop n then resume walking, please advice

Ans: Hello Anonymous,
Have you done your blood tests for Vitamin D/Vitamin B12? Have you done your x-rays/MRI for the back?
If yes, what does it show?
A physiotherapist needs to evaluate you, understand the cause of your pain and accordingly give you the treatment since you have pain for 15 years. If it is paining in your legs too then some nerve in the back is also getting compressed. Please do the MRI for your lumbar spine and show an orthopedic or physiotherapist.

Ans: Mr. Ramana. Planning for retirement is a significant milestone, and it's great that you're considering your options wisely. Given your desire for a steady monthly income post-retirement, have you explored mutual funds that offer regular income through Systematic Withdrawal Plans (SWPs)?

When choosing a fund, it's essential to consider factors like your risk tolerance, time horizon, and liquidity needs. Have you thought about diversifying your investments across asset classes to manage risk effectively?

Additionally, have you considered consulting with a Certified Financial Planner to tailor a strategy that aligns with your retirement goals? With careful planning and the right guidance, you can create a sustainable income stream that supports your post-retirement lifestyle.

Hi sir, I'm 25y old. I have a salary of 55k per month I've started investing in May 2022 in mutual funds through SIP for long term 25-30years. Right now I've 60k of invested amount in MF Portfolio doing SIP of 7k per month. I've an emergency fund in FD of 60k and I've health and term insurance for me and family. I also have a personal loan of 6lakh which I took in December 2022. I'm paying 20k monthly for a loan. Still I need to pay 6.22 lakh in 3 years. I'm also thinking of starting investing 10k per month in chit funds for 2 years(trusted chit fund) assuming an annualized return of 15%. My monthly expenses excluding loan and SIP in MF is 23k. My MF Portfolio: Parag Parikh flexi cap - 2.5k Nippon small cap - 2k Axis bluechip - 2k Navi nifty50 index fund -500 Can you please review my MF Portfolio and guide me how I can clear my debt of 6.22 lakh as soon as possible.

Ans: It's fantastic to see your commitment to securing your financial future at such a young age! Your Mutual Fund portfolio shows a good mix, but let's fine-tune it a bit. Are you considering the risk factors of your current investments?

Now, about that loan. It's understandable to want to clear it as soon as possible. Have you thought about increasing your monthly payments towards it? It might ease the burden in the long run.

Regarding chit funds, while they offer potential returns, are you sure about their reliability and transparency? It's crucial to be cautious when exploring new investment avenues.

Remember, a Certified Financial Planner can offer personalized advice tailored to your goals and circumstances. With discipline and strategic planning, you'll be on track to financial freedom sooner than you think!

Question by Shruti - Apr 28, 2024Hindi

Career

Hello, I'm a teacher with just 1 year of experience in very reputed Cambridge school, but I always wanted to become a doctor, earlier I gave 2 attempts in NEET but couldn't succeed. Now I'm 25 and I'm planning to give one more try. My working hours are from 7:30 to 4 since it's IGCSE board school, Demands are high. So can you guide me what should I do to pursue NEET. Whether I should go for classes online/ offline or how to balance everything? Pls help

Ans: Hello Shruti
I have to answer it very practically and realistically.

since you are in a very responsible job that requires high attention, time & energy & it is very limited in your case for NEET. As you have repeated NEET twice already you can understand it well. You cannot give equal time to both.

If you are serious and committed enough to give it all in the next NEET attempt and becoming a doctor is your only dream then only go for it. Otherwise you can pursue it from abroad also. I can help you with that.

There is nothing called a partial drop. Whatever course you enrol in will require some attention, time & energy. Which is very limited. As you have repeated NEET twice already you can understand it well. You cannot give equal time to both.

I am 42years old male ,my sugar level is in fasting 112.is it normal or need to take medicine.

Ans: It is a bit on the higher side with normal being 100. It would be a good idea to either check the HBA1C to be a bit more certain, else just try and reduce your carbs as well as over all calorie intake to reduce the fasting sugars. This is of course assuming you are a little overweight. If not, you should see a physician and get some more specific advice.
