Can you analyze my mother's stroke CT scan?
A stroke can lead to various symptoms, including weakness, confusion, or difficulty speaking. It happens due to disrupted blood flow to the brain, often from a clot or bleeding. The CT scan is vital for determining the type and extent of the stroke and guiding treatment. I strongly encourage you to share the results with her healthcare provider, as they can offer personalized insights and potential recovery plans tailored to her specific needs. Remember, professional medical support is crucial during this time. Be assured that there are effective approaches to assist her recovery journey.

Why do I have sciatic and radial nerve pain?
Shifting discomfort in your arms can arise from various causes, such as nerve irritation, muscle strain, or overuse, particularly with weightlifting. Sciatica may contribute to some nerve-related issues, but it's essential to differentiate between conditions like radial tunnel syndrome and other potential causes. I recommend you take a break from heavy lifting, focus on stretching, and strengthen your core muscles. Additionally, consulting a neurologist for an accurate diagnosis is important to develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses your specific situation effectively.
