Persistent Headache in 11-Year-Old
My daughter is 11 years, she is having a persistent headache for past one month, doctors have ruled out migraine, sinusitis and the MRI reports are also normal...as per her she doesn't have any stress...would seek your suggestion.
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 6th Aug '24
It's confusing when tests don't reveal obvious causes like migraines or sinus issues, and her MRI looked normal. Some possibilities are tension headaches, eye strain, or dehydration. Encourage drinking lots of water, taking breaks from screens, and getting enough sleep. If headaches persist, see her neurologist again to explore other potential reasons and solutions. Ongoing pain is hard, but keep searching for answers.

In advanced cases, deep brain stimulation may be considered. Exercise and stress management, are also important. The treatment approach is normally tailored to each individual's needs and may require regular adjustments and monitoring.

Hello sometimes I have shuttering(not very serious one,but I still have it) when I am talking(,especially when I am nervous or tired, my friend once told me that she had same problem during her childhood and she took medicament( I do not know what it was)and then it went away itself, i am curious if there is some medicament which help me take this shuttering away forever?
Female | 24
You experience stuttering, where speaking smoothly feels difficult. Maybe you feel nervous or tired. For some people, stuttering improves on its own, especially children. However, therapies, and techniques exist to support fluent speech. Speech therapy is one option. It's crucial to discuss with a speech therapist or doctor to find the appropriate path for you.

I am feeling extreme pain in head
Male | 36
Headaches can happen due to stress, lack of sleep, or dehydration. Besides that, you might be having a tension headache due to staring at screens for too long. You should try to breathe in a quiet room, hydrate your body, and perhaps use a cold compress on your head. If the pain doesn't go away, it's best to talk to a neurologist.

I am paraplegic due to spine Tumour is it can be recovered may I walk again?
Female | 28
Spine tumour leading to paraplegia is a disease that requires specialist care. It is best to work with a neurologist or spine specialist who will evaluate your situation and advise you of any possible treatment alternatives. Recovery, that is to walk again is dependent upon the tumour type and extent of spinal cord damage.

Female | 26
Brain tumors are scary. Headaches, blurry eyes, speaking weird, stumbling around, and mood swings happen. They might come from genes, radiation, or yucky chemicals. To know for sure, doctors look at pictures of your brain from an MRI or CT scan. If you're worried, ask a neurologist to get checked out. With the right care, tumors can be treated properly.

Legs are feeling very weak. Feel like sleeping and not eating
Female | 48
Faster or weaker legs, fatigue, and absence of appetite are possible causes of many diseases. It could be due to a lot of sleepless nights or maybe the deficiency of body important nutrients. Have a balanced diet with healthy food, get enough rest, and drink plenty of water. If the symptoms are still there, make sure to visit a neurologist so they can help you find out what's wrong.

Male | 25
Multiple sclerosis is a condition that impacts the brain and spinal cord. You might experience numbness, tingling, balance issues. MS symptoms include word forgetfulness and walking troubles. Doctors aren't sure what causes it, but believe the immune system damages nerve coverings. Seeing a neurologist is crucial if you suspect MS for testing or treatment.

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.

Last year, I got sick pretty bad. It started with migraine like headaches then intense body pain and severe back and neck pain. It was followed by fatigue, muscle stiffness and dizziness. No amount of painkillers relieved the pain. I couldn't even walk properly, someone had to hold me to get through hospitals. I got several tests done including MRI, EEG, B12, vitamin tests, eye tests, CBC and X ray for my back. There were a few vitamin deficiencies but they shouldn't have caused that much pain according to the doctors, MRI was pretty much normal. There were few abnormalities with my XRay in spine but again they were mild and not severe enough to cause me such intense pain. I took medication or migraine, some medication to make my nerves strong and I think some anxiety meds because they suspected GAD (all were prescribed by doctors). Most physicians suggested I go to a psychologist and the psychologist referred me back to physicians and I went back and forth. I got better after bed rest but I had to go back to college because I was missing on my studies. But I fell sick again, cramps like pain, consistent fever but on and off. I got tested for typhoid and other things but absolutely nothing. Then I went to a neuropsychiatrist who told me I had fibromyalgia, it aligned pretty well since I always had memory gaps as well and I've been concerned about it for a while. The medication he gave me worked, I for the first time in months started feeling better but as time passed by, it stopped working for me. I couldn't continue the medication due to expenses as well. So, I've been in pain ever since. When I've had a tiring day the pain is bad, when I am stressed it's worse. Every morning I wake up with pain and every night I go to bed in pain cuz it's worse in the mornings and night. If I rest too much, that's painful and if I don't that's painful too. Fever also shoots up every now and then. My body is in pain and exhausted, everything is difficult, walking up or down the stairs. Although some days it's better but other days it's difficult to even move, painkillers do absolutely nothing. I don't know what to do anymore
Female | 19
It could be fibromyalgia. This condition causes widespread pain in your body along with tenderness too – plus other things like being tired often or having trouble sleeping well. However, there are ways to handle this. For example, physical therapy might help ease some of the hurt; moderate activities such as walking or swimming could be beneficial because they won’t make the ache worse but can still keep muscles from getting too stiff; also relaxation methods (e.g., mindfulness meditation/deep breathing) may relieve stress which often worsens any existing discomfort. Besides that, proper rest is crucial, so try getting enough sleep each night; nutrition matters, so eat healthily; don’t push yourself too hard.

Hello. I am a male about to marry a 23 y/o female who at the age of 19 was diagnosed with Focal Epilepsy Affecting Frontal Lobe. I am trying to see whether it is a good idea to marry and start a family with this girl. The problem is her head and eyes move to the right when she has an episode which is usually triggered by eye contact and nervousness. So her neurologist perscribed Lacosamide twice a day which she says has prevented her from having an episode in over a year, but I want to check with you if this is true/common? Also will her illness get worse later down the line especially when we start having kids? Will it spread to other parts of the brain and what will happen if that occurs? She says the side effects of the medicine is she gets drowsy and sleepy sometimes, how often does that last? Thank you.
Female | 23
While Lacosamide can effectively prevent epilepsy episodes, its side effects like drowsiness are common. It's advisable to consult with a neurologist regarding the long-term effects of epilepsy and its potential impact on family planning. Specialists like neurologists can provide personalized guidance based on individual health conditions.

It seems you might have a health issue called peripheral neuropathy. This makes nerves send wrong signals to the brain. It makes feet and palms feel burning pains. It also hurts legs calves and muscles. This happens from diabetes, nutrition problems, or infections. To feel better, see a neurologist. They will find out what causes it. They might give meds, physical therapy, or life changes.

Male | 32
These things could happen because of nerves. Nerves can get hurt in many ways. Bad posture, injuries, or sicknesses like diabetes can hurt nerves. To feel better, you need good posture. You need to move around. You need to eat good food. If you still feel these things, you should see a neurologist.

mild bulges of C3-4,C4-5 and C5-6 disc indenting the anterior subarachnoid space however not abuutting the cord
Male | 32
Your cervical discs have bulged slightly, exerting pressure on the spinal cord area. However, it's not severe. This condition may result in neck, shoulder, or arm discomfort, numbness, or weakness. Aging and spinal strain typically cause such issues. To alleviate symptoms, you might need physical therapy, medication, or surgery in extreme cases.

I have this cold numbing sensation going down my left shin. Also, my left shin is colder to the touch then my right shin.
Female | 42
You could probably have a situation that is called peripheral neuropathy, something that has to do with the nerves that send signals to your leg and possibly there is a problem with that. This can be the reason why you feel the numbing sensation and the difference in temperature between your shins. It's best to have a neurologist check this out to determine the cause and talk about treatment options.

Hi there, I am a 19 year old female. I am born in London, UK. I am currently away on holiday in Saudi Arabia. It’s currently around 40 degrees. I was walking whilst holding my bags & I suddenly became unable to see for a second & felt sick and dizzy. I felt like my heart was beating really fast and I could not breathe properly. I sat down and tried to cool down & drank cold water. After resting, I got up in the attempt to continue walking however, I felt really faint and my heart was beating even faster again. I felt my eyes rolling, I didn’t entirely faint and black out but it felt as if I were going to. I sat down and got escorted by a golf cart. However, I am unsure if I am okay or what it is I should do. I want to know what happened. I do still feel lightheaded and sick. But I am not sweating or red anymore.
Female | 19
You may have gone through heat exhaustion. This is when your body's internal thermometer becomes too hot and fails to function properly. The symptoms arising from such illness include, but are not limited to, faintness, dizziness, experiencing a fast heart rate as well as the feeling of nausea. The solution is to move to a cool area, drink water, and rest. Avoid the scorching sun and keep your body as cool as possible.

It looks like you've been occasionally experiencing some nasal clogging known as DNS over the past one year. DNS is an abbreviation for deviated nasal septum. It represents a situation in the nose where one side of the wall is not positioned correctly. It's important to see an ENT specialist if you've been experiencing DNS for three months.
