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.

Why I am having a headache and nousea
Female | 19
When head throbs and the stomach churns, it often has simple causes. Perhaps not enough water passed your lips. Or maybe a meal you ate stirred unpleasant reactions. Anxieties also bring those unpleasant companions knocking. Drink deeply from the well, and eat gently. But if discomforts persist, visit a neurologist.

Female | 26
You have tinnitus which is the ringing in the ear and you have chills with shivering too. Tinnitus is caused by many different things like loud noises or stress. The chills could be because of an infection. Get lots of rest, drink enough water, and if necessary go to a doctor for more help.

Hi I wanted to ask which type of pills or capsules can I take with internal brain bleed.
Female | 17
Intracerebral hemorrhage is a potential health issue that can lead to symptoms such as serious headaches, confusion, and muscle weakness. Possible reasons include high blood pressure, trauma, and certain health conditions. The treatment for internal brain bleed is an emergency medical intervention. To take or swallow any medicine without consulting the doctor can be harmful and can aggravate the condition. One should immediately go to a neurologist to get medical attention.

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.

Hi there, I'm a 34 year old woman, and I've been experiencing a persistent headache behind my ear on the right side. It's been bothering me for the past week, and I'm starting to get concerned. The pain is sharp and seems to be concentrated in that area. I've tried over-the-counter pain relievers, but they don't provide much relief. I'm wondering if anyone else has dealt with a similar issue or if there are specific treatments or remedies I should consider for this headache behind my ear on the right side. Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Female | 22
You look like you are having weakness, with an unfamiliar sensation in your neck, and a spacey stomach. The causes could be varied, like a viral infection or dehydration. It is a must to drink water and have a rest. If they last long or become stronger, it is better to get a neurologist to guide you on what to do.

Male | 62
If you're noticing symptoms of Parkinson's disease, it might indicate you're experiencing it. The disease can cause slow movement in the hands and other body parts due to malfunctioning brain cells that control movement. Medications and physical therapies like exercises can help manage these symptoms. It's important to consult a neurologist for the best advice.

Epilepsy is when a person has recurrent seizures. Sometimes this goes away on its own, especially in kids. Symptoms can range from convulsions or strange feelings to staring spells. Causes may be genetic or related to head injuries. Treatment usually includes medication but may involve surgery as well. Be sure to discuss ways of dealing with it with a neurologist.

im facing a problem in which my legs start to become hot for just of 5-10 seconds. Whats the reason behnid this?
Male | 27
Many people feel sudden warmth, called hot flashes. These happen frequently for women, but men can get them too. Hormonal changes or reactions cause hot flashes. Stress, caffeine, or alcohol may trigger them. Staying cool, avoiding spicy foods, and relaxing can help manage hot flashes. If they continues being problematic, speak to your doctor.

I am patient of epilepsy last from 14 to 15 years. I have consulted many neurologist during this time but no recovery. Can you please help me.?
Female | 29
The condition of the brain which is responsible for recurring seizures is called Epilepsy. Seizures may differ from one individual to another who may either have a staring spell, muscle jerk, or a blackout. Generally, it takes a long time to get well with the medication, or in some cases, even surgery is required. Do not forget to adhere to your neurologist's recommendations for the best treatment possible and continue your checkups regularly.

I have headache regularly from several years
Male | 50
For years, regular headaches caused trouble. Headaches arise from different factors: stress, poor sleep habits, and unhealthy eating. Relaxation, hydration, nutritious food, sufficient rest - these remedies help. However, if headaches persist, consulting a neurologist becomes crucial for understanding this condition better.

Hi sir/madam, I'm Suffering from right eye swelling,redness from past 25 days... recently I have visited a hospital and got my cerebral Angiogram test done...it was found that there is Dural arterveinous fistulae along bilateral cavernous sinuses nd clivus draining into bilateral petrosal sinuses and right superior opthalmic vein...which is causing swelling of eye,redness,watery eyes...They have suggested an exercise near neck(compression) for this problem. my question is does this problem go away with this exercise? How common is this problem?Any medical emergency required?What is the cost for stereographic radiation therapy? Thank you.
Male | 52
The answer to your question depends on the cause of the dural arteriovenous fistulae. If it is caused by a congenital abnormality, exercise may help reduce the symptoms, but it is unlikely to completely resolve the condition. If the cause is a tumor or an aneurysm, then exercise may help reduce the symptoms, but a more comprehensive treatment plan may be required. The cost of stereotactic radiation therapy varies depending on the institution providing the therapy. It is best to seek advice from a specialist to determine the best course of treatment.

Iv been having issues for about 3 days with the left side of my brain keep pulsating, it feels like a worm moving around the side of my brain, it doesn’t stay or move in one spot, when I press down on the area I feel move it just starts happening in another area on that side of the brain, I can’t sleep because of it, it wakes me up. I also feel like there’s something inside my ear, I also don’t know if this is related but since it’s happened my head has been itchy
Female | 26
What comes to mind is that you might be suffering from a migraine. Such attacks can bring an onslaught of forceful pulse sensations and light or sound intolerance. The sensation you feel in your ear, along with the itch you experience, might be associated with the migraine. To ease your symptoms, attempt to rest in a quiet, dark room, drink plenty of water, and steer clear of stress as well as certain foods that may trigger. If the symptoms remain or the situation worsens, go to a neurologist.

My mother has migraine headache... She has taken vasograin tablet but there is no improvement which tablet we should give to her now ?
Female | 40
Your mom suffers from migraines – intense headaches causing throbbing pain and nausea. Vasograin didn't provide relief. Paracetamol is another medication that reduces discomfort. Rest in a dimly lit, quiet space can also help. If symptoms persist, consult a neurologist for advanced treatment options.

I am a 43-year-old woman experiencing sleeplessness. I consulted a neurologist who gave me sleeping pills, but I wasn't interested in taking them. I tried setting a proper sleep schedule and reduced screen time, but there have been no improvements.
Female | 43
Setting a proper sleep schedule and reducing screen time are good steps, but sometimes additional help is needed. Since the neurologist's treatment didn't suit you, I recommend visiting a sleep specialist. They can provide personalized advice and alternative treatments to improve your sleep.

I am 24 year old and I m having stiffness in my head feel pinching irritation and feels empty like feeling very quick and tired
Female | 24
Hey, Welcome to ClinicSpots. We understand your concerns and are here to provide guidance.
Feeling stiffness, pinching irritation, and a sense of emptiness in your head could indicate various underlying factors. These symptoms may stem from stress, anxiety, or even migraines. Stress often manifests as tension headaches or a feeling of pressure in the head. It's also possible these symptoms could be related to migraines, which can cause throbbing pain and sensitivity to light and sound. Additionally, conditions like anxiety can contribute to sensations of head stiffness and quick fatigue. It's important to consider any recent changes in your lifestyle or stress levels that might be triggering these symptoms.
Next Steps to Follow
- Consult a Healthcare Professional: Schedule an appointment with a neurologist or a primary care physician to discuss your symptoms in detail. They can conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause.
- Medical Evaluation: Your doctor may recommend diagnostic tests such as imaging studies or blood tests to rule out neurological conditions or other health issues.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Practice stress management techniques, and gentle exercises like yoga or meditation, and maintain a regular sleep schedule to support overall well-being and manage symptoms.
- Follow-up: Keep track of any changes in your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider as advised.
Health Tip
Incorporate relaxation techniques into your daily routine to help alleviate symptoms. Deep breathing exercises and gentle stretches can help reduce tension and promote relaxation.
