Hey, dealing with that waist pain and stuff sounds like a lot to juggle. First thing first, let’s look at your symptoms: your low back pain, downward leg discomfort, and that heaviness with dizzy feelings are signaling some Vata imbalance. Your thyroid med and the past vertigo episode might be adding a layer too.
You asking about herbs - Ayurveda does have answers, but remember these are not substitutes for anything critical. Try some Ashwagandha or Bala, they’re calming for Vata and helps with nerve stability. You could make a little tea or find them in capsule form. Mix 'em with a bit of warm milk if you can, do this daily. It eases pain and stabilizes the mind, but it’s gonna take a few weeks.
Yoga’s a mixed bag when it comes to pain. Cobra pose sounds alright, but if pain spikes, see how you feel. Gentle stretches may keep things moving without straining further, like doing some hip openers, but only if the pain lets you. No pushing through discomfort though, okay?
For that dizziness tirigraphy and neck stiffness? Nasya therapy might help, applying herbs in oil form via nostrils — sounds odd but balances Kapha and Vata, easing head heaviness. Think Anu taila or sesame oil drops.
But yeah, the tingling and other serious symptoms do suggest seeing a specialist. They’ve got tools to rule out anything major like nerve issues. An ortho or neuro consult can provide a clear picture. Keep safety first, yeah?
If things suddenly worsen or you’re really concerned, get thee to a doctor! Your well-being’s most important. Let me know how it goes, whether with the yoga or the herbal route.
