Can Physiotherapy Alone Cure GBS (AMAN) with Muscle Weakness?
Hello, I am suffering from muscle weakness of hands and legs for 2 weeks. 4 days ago doctor confirmed that I have GBS (AMAN) by NCS and CSF study test. But my physical condition is better than most other patient. I am explaining my conditions to you : - I can walk but slowly and not like normal me - I can stand up from sitting on the bed - I can't stand up from sitting on the floor - I can't stand up from sitting on the sofa - I can lift a highest 500 ml bottle with hands - I can eat like a normal person but I have to give a little pressure in the neck - I can't cough with the full strength My condition is improving a little day by day. Doctor haven't suggested IVIG or Plasma exchange for the treatment. They said I will be cured by only Physiotherapy and Exercise. What are your comments about my physical condition ? Can you suggest me something for that will help me to recover soon ? Thanks is Advance...

This may cause weakness in the muscles of the hands and legs. I am glad that you are getting better. What has been recommended by your doctor is very important- physiotherapy and exercise. These two things can strengthen your muscles and help you regain your ability to move around. Ensure that you strictly adhere to what they say and remember that healing will take time so don’t get tired of waiting.

I have needle sensation all over my body n even itching n my stomache pain alot lower abdomen even my back bone it pain n used to have panic attack while splng what is it
Female | Abei
Experiencing a tingling sensation, itching, and abdominal discomfort can be linked to various factors, including stress, anxiety, or nerve-related issues. These symptoms might arise during moments of stress or panic. It's essential to engage in relaxation techniques, maintain a balanced diet, and ensure proper hydration. Regular physical activity can also help alleviate tension. However, since your symptoms involve multiple areas of discomfort, I recommend seeking guidance from a neurologist. They can offer a thorough evaluation and tailored solutions to address your concerns effectively.

My son 21 years old. Struggling with migrains. Have now started to feel pressure in forehead and dizzy. Have just now taken paracetamol 1 gram. Is it ok to take migraine medication he got from doctor last time now already? He is really scared to wake up and get it like last time. It was really bad with vomiting.
Male | 21
Weakness and sensitivity to light, as well as vomiting, may be the result of migraines. He is on paracetamol which is great, but he can also take the migraine medication his doctor prescribed if it is the case, even though it is soon after the paracetamol. It is important that the doctor’s guidance is adhered to and the medication is taken as instructed which will also help to prevent the next similar episode from happening.

35 year old male. Dull ache in top back of neck, on and off for 2 months but more constant now. Can come with head aches and occasional vertigo
Male | 35
It is plausible that the person has tension headaches due to muscle pain in his or her neck and shoulder. With occasional vertigo, other causes should be ruled out such as abnormalities in the cervical spine or inner ear. The individual is advised to consult a neurologist for more evaluation and treatment of these manifestations.

My mother is almost 50 and since 4-5 months her half side of face suddenly pulls to one side like paralysed and after some time it gets normal but now it is occurring more often.
Female | 49
Being a condition named Bell's Palsy, your mother may go through it. It is a thing that happens because of the inflammation of the facial nerve. Medication and exercises that strengthen the muscles can be included in the treatment. You should visit a neurologist for a proper diagnosis and a plan of treatment.

Hello I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to discuss some ongoing health concerns that have persisted since I experienced cerebral meningitis a few years ago. Initially, the treatment process faced challenges, leading to subsequent neurological issues. Although most aspects of my health have improved, I continue to grapple with a specific matter related to urinary and bowel control. Following the meningitis treatment, I encountered difficulty using the restroom, leading to the use of a catheter for approximately three weeks. Subsequently, once the catheter was removed, I experienced challenges in retaining urine, necessitating the use of diapers, particularly during the night. Presently, after five years, while I have achieved some improvement in urinary control, there are instances, especially during the night, when I still face issues with involuntary urination. Additionally, I find it challenging to maintain control over bowel movements. There is a correlation between retaining urine and the urge to defecate, often resulting in occasional accidents. This situation has led to a degree of stress, particularly when venturing outside. I am reaching out to seek your expert advice on whether these issues may be treatable or if there are potential avenues for improvement. Your insights and recommendations regarding any further evaluations or treatments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your guidance on managing and addressing these persistent challenges. Sincerely,
Female | 30
You need to consult with a urologist or neurologist specialist for these disorders. They can assess your symptoms and whether further treatment is needed.

Male | 17
The headache you have on the right side of your forehead may be a result of many things, examples being tension headaches, migraines, or sinus infections. It is recommended to consult a neurologist who will perform the physical exam and differentiate diagnoses of similar signs such as cognitive decline.

I always had sleep paralysis during sleep and I can't sleep well
Female | 18
Sleep paralysis is a condition where you wake up but can't move or speak for a short time. It's quite common and usually not harmful. It can happen due to sleep deprivation, an irregular sleep schedule, or stress and anxiety. To prevent it, try to stick to a regular sleep schedule, relax before bed, and manage stress. If it becomes more frequent or concerning, you can consult a sleep specialist for help.

I’m 28 years old female..I have this right side temple and eye pain…it comes and goes..a dull pain..im a shortsighted person..can it be due to my sight problem or could it be a sinus problem??
Female | 28
The pain in your right temple and eye could be due to your shortsightedness, as eye strain can cause headaches. However, it could also be related to sinus issues. I recommend visiting an ophthalmologist to check your vision and an ENT specialist to rule out sinus problems.

Male | 50
It sounds like you're experiencing discomfort with burning, tingling, and electric sensations in your extremities. Despite normal nerve conduction studies and EMG tests, these symptoms can arise from various causes, including nerve irritation or metabolic factors like elevated blood sugar levels. I recommend continuing to monitor your glucose levels closely. Since medications haven't fully alleviated your pain, consulting a neurologist for further evaluation could be beneficial. They might consider other treatment options or therapies tailored to your needs.

I am 21 year old male I am not sleep properly in night. I have sleeping problem.
Male | 21
In this case, insufficient sleep might make you feel fatigued and irritable during the daytime. There might be several causes of this such as stress, excessive screen time before bed, or drinking of caffeine late. Practicing relaxation techniques before sleeping as well as establishing a soothing bedtime routine and not consuming caffeine in the evening will be the best ways to enhance your sleep.

You have referred to the data collected, showing structural changes in the brain caused by specific conditions including age-related changes, small vessel disease, and migraine. The very changing levels of symptoms could be mild cognitive changes to intense headaches. To ensure the most accurate and thorough diagnosis by a professional, you must go to a neurologist for further evaluation. With the help of healthcare providers, you can be prescribed some diagnostic ULTRASOUND or proper treatment, including biofeedback, for the specific situation you are in.

I am 25 years old male. I had type 1 diabetes mellitus. I had headache resulting from needle prick after blood glucometer test last evening. As of now, I am not experiencing any fever and the dull headache is radiating from back to front. Why does it happen?
Male | 25
It's common to experience headaches following a needle prick, even if no infection develops. Your discomfort might stem from muscle tension or minor irritation around the area. Ensure you stay hydrated and consider gentle stretching to relieve any tightness. Over-the-counter pain relievers can be helpful if discomfort persists. Since you’re managing type 1 diabetes, it’s essential to monitor any unusual symptoms closely. If the headache continues or worsens, don’t hesitate to reach out to a neurologist for further evaluation.

Nimesumed 100mg table can be used for headache sir.
Male | 31
Nimesulide, at a dosage of 100mg, can be effective in alleviating headaches, generally caused by tension, sinus issues, or migraines. It works by reducing inflammation and relieving pain. However, it's important to consider the underlying reason for your discomfort. If headaches persist or worsen, seeking advice from a neurologist is wise. They can offer a comprehensive evaluation and alternative treatments if needed. Staying hydrated, managing stress, and ensuring adequate rest can also greatly help.

It is important to know that masturbation itself is not harmful, but rather, excess or aggressive behavior can lead to physical issues. This could be one of the reasons your symptoms occur. Try to limit masturbation and focus on a healthy lifestyle with exercise and a balanced diet. Also, see a neurologist for proper care and discuss other treatment options.
