You’re having pain in the joints after you were administered cortisone to the node in your cerebellum. On occasions, joint pain may occur as a side effect of cortisone. Your knees, hands, and hips hurt and it is difficult to stand on them. This is quite possible with cortisone which will affect your body. To solve this problem, it's best to consult an orthopedist about the joint pain.

Headaches can be caused by various factors such as stress, dehydration, or lack of sleep. Poor diet can also trigger them. Make sure you're staying hydrated, getting enough rest, and eating well. If your headaches continue, it's important to see a neurologist to rule out any underlying issues.

When I press my head backside (the place where it was hit when I fell)... It's bleeding from nose... And we took a CT scan they told there's nothing on it... But now it's strted to bleeding on ears and then the eyes on the side where it was hit
Male | 16
It sounds like you are experiencing some serious symptoms, even though your CT scan showed no abnormalities. Bleeding from the nose, ears, and eyes after a head injury can be concerning and should be taken seriously. I strongly recommend that you visit a neurologist or an ENT specialist as soon as possible for a thorough examination and proper treatment. They will be able to assess your condition more accurately and provide the necessary care.

I am sangeetha 43 yrs old from Chennai I have high bp and under active thyroid so taking pills of both. While laying or walking feel unbalanced weakness dizziness vertigo and while laying look body jump
Female | 53
You might feel off-balance, dizzy, like everything moves. That's vertigo. The inner ear may cause it - problems like infection or ear crystals. Since you have high blood pressure and thyroid troubles, see a neurologist. They'll find why you're unbalanced. Maybe meds need adjusting, or exercises can help your balance. Be careful not to fall. Avoid risky things until they improve.

Paralysis of legs due to Bone tb Treatment is going on(6months) Reports ESR test suggests that the infection is very low now
Male | 47
It is a gradual process, and it might take some time to observe meaningful results. But the low ESR test is a good sign, therefore meaning that infection has been controlled. I recommend a neurologist consultation to assess the nature and origin of paralysis which can be treated accordingly.

There is a lot of pain at night. It feels like the vein in the forehead will burst and the body jerks repeatedly.
Male | 17
You may be having a cluster headache. It may be accompanied by a jolt of the body. Stress, alcohol consumption, and intense smells can serve as irritants. To counter these conditions, use relaxation methods, do not expose yourself to triggers, and consult a neurologist for further advice and support.

Spinal implants is used for spinal cord injury
Male | 50
Spinal implants are typically not used to treat spinal cord injuries directly. Instead, they are more commonly used to stabilize the spine and provide support in cases of spinal fractures, deformities, or degenerative spinal conditions. Treatment for spinal cord injuries often focuses on rehabilitation, oral medication, and supportive care to maximize function and quality of life. However, in some cases where there's spinal instability due to injury, spinal implants may be used as part of surgical intervention to stabilize the spine and prevent further damage.

Parkinson's disease causes shaking, stiffness, movement issues. Your tremors may signify this condition. When brain cells malfunction, Parkinson's occurs. No cure exists yet, but treatments like medicine, therapy, sometimes surgery can help manage symptoms. Working closely with healthcare providers is key.

My mother had a stroke on her right side a week ago Tuesday , she was still talking , memory was intact . After been Zyprexa, Antivan was administered by a nurse. She couldn't talk nor open eyes Thursday morning. Saturday she started responding but after given dextrose she was not responding no more. Nor able to move her right arm due to a blood clot from IV ...what is wrong with my mother
Female | 63
It seems that your mother experienced a stroke on her right side, which initially affected her ability to talk but left her memory intact. It's possible that the administration of Zyprexa (an antipsychotic medication) and Ativan (a sedative) may have been done to manage symptoms related to the stroke, such as agitation or anxiety.

One person is having headache due to literature and that too is not continuing. He does it once in an hour and that too for two to three seconds.
Male | 24
It sounds like the person might be experiencing what's called a "literature-induced headache," which occurs briefly and intermittently. Although this seems harmless, it's advisable to consult a neurologist for a proper evaluation. They specialize in conditions affecting the nervous system, including headaches, and can provide appropriate advice and treatment.

Which surgery is better for grade 2 brain tumor? Should the patient opt for Radiosurgery or Craniotomy?
Generally there are 4 types of Resection to remove a tumor:
- Gross total: The entire tumor is removed. However, sometimes microscopic cells may remain.
- Subtotal: A large portion of the tumor is removed.
- Partial: Only part of the tumor is removed.
- Biopsy only: Only a small portion is removed, which is used for a biopsy.
The treatment or surgery depends on several factors like type of cancer, the stage of cancer, location, age of patient, general health, associated comorbidities and others. Consult an oncologist, who on evaluation of the patient will guide you to choose the best treatment suitable for the patient.

All my blood report are normal but i feel dizzy sometime.. why ?
Male | 25
Feeling dizzy, even when all your blood tests are normal, could have various causes such as inner ear problems, low blood pressure, anxiety, and inadequate eating. It’s important to ensure that you eat well, drink enough water, and get sufficient rest.
If you are still experiencing dizziness, it would be best to seek advice from a neurologist.

Hello, my Mother in law (70 years) is suffering from misbalancing and in-coordination of feet movement which has severely worsened during last 3 years. All the pathology test appears are normal. The sensory test is also normal. There is an uncontrolled trembling that occurs frequently. Now, this symptom is gradually being observed in the upper limbs also. Progressive myelopathy with no medication available has been diagnosed by a Neurologist. What are the options available for the treatment?
Bracing, physical therapy and medication are treatments for mild myelopathy and mainly reduce pain, allowing you to return to your daily activities. Nonsurgical treatment does not remove the compression. Spinal decompression surgery is a generally preferred treatment for myelopathy to relieve pressure on the spinal cord. A surgery can also be used to remove bone spurs or herniated discs if they are the cause of myelopathy. For advanced myelopathy caused by stenosis, a surgical procedure to increase the channel space of your spinal cord (laminoplasty) recommended. Consult a spinal surgeon - Spinal Surgery doctors in Mumbai, you can also search for a different city.
