I am 48 years old and suffering from carpal tunnel from past 6 years. Earlier problem was not so much but now I am feeling numbness in my right hand while writing or doing any particular work. Should I go for surgery? Is there any physiotherapy after surgery and after how long I can do writing work as I am a teacher

Answered on 23rd May '24
You should go for surgery if your symptoms are very severe and make it difficult for you to do your everyday activities. Yes, after surgery, physiotherapy is done for better flexibility and strength. When can you resume writing and other work depends on the type of surgery you had and other things. It is important to listen to your doctor and start writing only after consulting him.

I am suffering from hemifacial spasm. I want to cure it permanently. Pls help
Female | 38
A hemifacial spasm causes one side of your face to twitch involuntarily. This happens when a nerve gets irritated in your cheek area. Although uncontrolled facial twitching is unpleasant, treatment options like Botox injections or surgery exist. These can help relax the affected nerve, stopping the spasms. Such treatments aim to provide relief, improving your quality of life. So do not lose hope, as permanent solutions are available.

I have cervical spondylitis since past 6 months. Doctor prescribed many medicines. But i have headache and itching in head. i feel something crawling in my head and scalp itches too. Now i feel pain in my neck and left hand and heaviness in left side in 2 fingers. I also had physiotherapy for 10 days. I have my MRI report too.
Female | 54
It sounds like you may have a neurological condition in addition to cervical spondylitis. Headache, itching, crawling sensation on scalp, and pain in the neck and hand are all common symptoms of a neurological condition. It would be best for you to see a neurologist for further evaluation and treatment. The MRI report may provide some insight into what is causing your symptoms, but it is unlikely to be the only factor. The neurologist may recommend further tests, such as an EEG or nerve conduction studies, to pinpoint the source of your symptoms. In the meantime, it may be beneficial for you to continue with the physiotherapy and take any medications prescribed by your doctor.

I am 58 years old, I suffer mnd, how to cure it?
Male | 58
MND is short for motor neuron disease. A few standard symptoms of this disease are muscle weakness, twitching, and trouble walking. What happens is that the nerve cells controlling movement gradually die off, causing MND. Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for it. Though, treatments exist that can help to manage symptoms and improve your quality of life. For example, physical therapy may be used alongside drugs to enhance mobility and comfort levels. You must collaborate closely with a neurologist so that they can figure out the most suitable treatment plan for you.

Male | 52
Diabetic neuropathy is a result of edema when your nerves are damaged by high blood sugar levels. Symptoms such as burning or tingling in hands and feet may be very uncomfortable. Your diabetes treatments along with the controlled blood sugar levels and exercising will bring down the pain. Follow your doctor's advice thoroughly so you will be feeling better soon.

Female | 19
Teeth grinding and hemifacial spasm can be due to a stress, anxiety, and neurological conditions. Medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications can help.
Nerve pain and difficulty swallowing could also be related to a neurological condition and may require further evaluation and treatment. Check thouroughly with a neurologist.

My father was brain damage any way for thi its his 3rd time sir
Male | 45
Damage reaches the brain due to being hit in the head, suffering a stroke, or infections inside the skull. Patients' problems can be related to memory loss, speech problems, and muscle issues. It's essential to seek immediate medical attention from a neurologist, especially if this is the third occurrence of brain damage.

I am suffering from severe back pain for the last 4 days. My xray report says: bilateral sacralization of LV5 and body of LV2 shows wedging deformity anteriorly
Male | 33
Severe back pain may indicate different conditions that can be causing the pain. According to x-ray reports, you have a case of LV5 & LV2 and the anterior part of LV2 is going through wedge shape deformation. This tells me you have probably some vertebrae problems that need to be checked out by a spine expert. Print We recommend you make an appointment with a spinal surgeon.

Hi !my son was taking a medicine epival 250mg for last 6 years he is seizure free no attack no fit is observed during that duration but on Eid day he got a seizure after fasting in Ramadan when he wake up. His friends brought him to doctors he said due to weakness and lack of sleep this happened.In those days he was showing carelessness in taking medicine I AM asking you that after a long time he got a seizure how much time he has to take medicine to become seizures free in future He is 22 years of age .please answer me hopefully he is my only son now doctor has recommended him epival 500 mg twice a day
Male | Farhan shahid
After a long period without seizures, it is still possible for them to occur, especially if he misses his medication or becomes overly tired. Fasting and lack of sleep during the Eid period may have contributed. His physician recommends he take Epival 500mg twice daily. The new dosage is expected to reduce the frequency of seizures if taken regularly.

I couldn't sleep for 2 months as whever i sleep even for 10 mins i get a dream everytime. I am sleeping for minimum 3 hours a day and i am always tired even without work.
Female | 33
You can't get to sleep and walk around like a zombie during the day. If you have dreams every time you sleep, however, they may be short, and you are not getting REM sleep which is the deep sleep you need. As a result, you may feel you have more energy than you do. Thus, this might be a sleep disorder. If the problem persists, see a sleep specialist who can help with the evaluation and therapy.

I have been diagnosed with bells palsy for the past 2 weeks, so I want the best medicine?
Male | 24
For bells palsy consult a neurologist from a well known hospital in India or ENT specialist, for personalized treatment. There are a few common treatments like corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, eye care to protect the affected eye, and possibly physical therapy. There's no one size fits all medicine for this condition, so follow your doctor's advice for the most effective treatment plan for your needs.

Male | 30
You could be experiencing pain in your left temple which spreads to the neck. One reason for this might be stress, poor posture, or even tension. Also, looking at screens for too long could cause similar discomfort. Please take regular screen breaks and maintain good sitting or standing posture. Additionally, gentle neck exercises can help. Consult a neurologist if the pain doesn't go away.

Female | 22
Feeling weak, nauseous, and getting headaches is normal after finishing malaria medication. Your body needs time to recover from the infection. Rest well. Drink lots of fluids. Eat healthy foods. It can take a while for your body to feel 100% again. If symptoms worsen or persist, consult your neurologist.

I am 30 years old. I had anxiety for 4 months and nerve damage like sciatica pain for 2 months and lower abdominal back pain and upper front pain for 3 days, today it's getting worse.
Female | 30
The stress and nerve pain that you are experiencing might cause muscle tension which results in discomfort in various parts of your body. The stomach ache as well as the pain in the anterior part could be associated with heightened awareness in your nervous system. To alleviate these symptoms, it is important to deal with both anxiety and nerve issues. Try doing mild stretches, and deep breathing exercises or seek help from healthcare providers who know how to manage such conditions.

My father is having blood clot in his brain. Which was recently found . He took medication for the same through drips for 5 days . Its been 20 days or more now he says that he feel numbness in hand and feel headache similar to the ache during the cold. And also he feel dizzy sometimes . Is this a normal symptoms of the brain blood clot or an serious issue?
Male | 54
\When a blood clot forms in the brain, numbness in the hand, headache, and dizziness could be worrying. The brain may be deprived of blood supply or there could be pressure on it due to these signs. Make sure he sees a neurologist again because these new symptoms might require more treatment or assessment.

Male | 22
It seems like you might be having tension headaches. These usually cause aching at the back of the head and make your neck feel stiff. Another symptom is always feeling tired and wanting to sleep. Ensure that you rest well, manage stress and maintain a good posture habit. In case the problem persists then I would advise you see a doctor who will give further guidance after examining you.
