Even after 2 years of surgery my condition is still same. Doctors told me that surgery is needed to stop spreading problems of my hand further. They said this is Degenerative Disc Disease and it may be genetically because person of my age don’t get such disease. And I may get other problems in future because Disc will continue to Degenerate. They said there is NO treatment or medicine to stop Disc Degeneration. Off the record they said I can try alternative medicines.
For last couple of years I am suffering from Lower Back pain, sometimes pain is so intense that it doesn’t let me sleep peacefully. My right leg is also getting weaker and sometimes slippers slips out of my feet. I don’t want to go to doctors because they suggest another surgery, I am already living with a piece of Titanium in my neck and don’t want another one in my back or anywhere. I am also loosing hair rapidly.
Please suggest me something.
Thanks

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
considering your age i would say your problem can be solved through medicine. it will however take quite some time to bring things to normal state. you will have to continue treatment for long term. if you are interested i will send you a questionnaire which you will need to fill up.

Thanks for this rapid reply, I have deep faith in homeopathy that’s why I am here in this forum. I think we can proceed further. But before that I would like to know a bit about you.
I forgot to mention one more problem that I am facing for more than a decade that is dandruff and small pimples appears on scalp and watery stuff comes out of it.

please buy Sulphur 200, Calcarea Carb 1m, and tuberculinum 1m. take one dose sulphur 200 in the morning. observe the action of the medicine for three days and then update. there will be some aggravation of the symptoms so do not get worried. take Med only after acquiring all the three because you may need them in a hurry. you may get the medicine in globules or liquid. if it is in globules one dose will be 4 or 5 globules. if liquid 2 or 3 drops. in either case dissolve it in half a cup of mineral water and then drink it. do not use tap water.

How much medicine i should buy?
1 dose means only 1 does, NOT daily?
Its month of Ramazan and I am fasting, eating time is 3 AM, 6:30 Pm and 10:30 PM. So morning pill should be taken at 3 AM or after breakfast at 6:30 PM ? or should i wait till the end of Ramazan?
