It`s a very serious condition when the legs become immovable because of the c3 and c6 spine issues. One may have symptoms like numbness or weakness. This injury may lead to the sudden onset of conditions such as spinal cord compression. Recovery is possible with treatments like physical therapy or surgery, depending on the situation.

To ease the pain, you may make sure you drink enough water, have proper sleep, do not allow stress to take over, and stay away from trigger foods.

My son was in a bad car accident in November and he don’t move he wake up look and blink how can I help him recover? He had a brain injury called diffuse axnol injury is it a cure I have them giving him omega 3 what can cure my son? This is tearing me apart
Male | 20
A diffuse axonal injury happens when the brain gets shaken in the skull. This leads to struggles with thinking, moving, and even waking up. There's no quick fix, but therapies like physical and occupational can assist your son. Omega-3s may benefit brain wellness too.

I am Ibrahim, 32 years old. I fell at work and completely lost consciousness
Male | 32
Losing consciousness can occur when the brain receives insufficient oxygen or blood supply. Perhaps you sustained a head injury after falling. Signs may include feeling lightheaded, weak, or even disoriented just before losing consciousness. You should see a doctor who will examine you and tell you what to do so you do not put yourself in any danger.

Female | 34
Seizures can be sporadic events that occur when the brain has abnormal neuron activity. Symptoms may involve body shaking, temporary loss of consciousness, or disorientation. One should immediately get diagnosed by a neurologist, who will then conduct various tests such as an EEG. The use of medications or lifestyle changes to successfully lay hold on seizure occurrences will be the primary treatment option.

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.

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.

Female | 63
Brain injuries like a mini-stroke may cause the brain to not work correctly, thus leaving some of the body weak, causing difficulties to speak, and even confusion. Due to her history of cancer, it is critical to keep a close watch on her as a stroke can complicate her condition. A neurologist will probably suggest some medications and rehabilitation to assist her in recovery.

Whenever this happens I can actually move the other fingers freely, but sometimes it affects the finger close to it, I have difficulty opening my palm, I will have to place my hand somewhere to open the palm. Please what can I do?
Male | 21
The condition which causes the cubital tunnel syndrome is the result of the ulnar nerve being compressed or irritated. The symptoms are found in feeling pins and needles, weakness, and difficulty in flexing the affected finger which harbors some doubts. One remedy can be found in the avoidance of cubital tunnel exacerbating sports and using a night splint to keep the arm straight. Despite that, following the aforementioned measures, if the symptoms remain persistent then attaining further advice from a neurologist will be sufficient.

My dad is 70 yrs old, had seizures since last October, diagnosed with testicular tumour and hypertension, an operation was done and he was OK, then the seizures recurred again about 6 times since January but last night was the worst. Please help me We're in a war zone and can't take to a hospital What can I do ?
Male | 70
Seizures can be scary, especially when they happen often. In his case, they might be due to the testicular tumor or other health issues. To help him, keep him safe during a seizure by moving away harmful objects and laying him on his side. Comfort him and stay with him until it ends. Watch for any new symptoms and, if possible, gently clean any wounds he may have gotten. It's important to stay calm and supportive. Although you can't go to a hospital right now, keep monitoring his condition and get medical help as soon as possible.

There is swelling in nerve on the side of ear and it causes pain in head and in neck
Male | 18
You might have something called occipital neuralgia. The nerves going from your spine to scalp get irritated or inflamed. This causes the head and neck discomfort. Other effects could be light sensitivity and a sore scalp. To ease the pain, take over-the-counter medicine. Apply warmth or cold to the area. Practice deep breathing and relaxing. But if it persists, see a neurologist for evaluation and treatment.
