My sister had a RTA last year in which she had a paraplegic spinal cord injury,she is doing physiotherapy since one year still can't walk without calipers,has no sensation,she is 20 years old

Answered on 3rd July '24
A spinal cord issue such as hers might result in weakness of stepping and the absence of the sense of touch. It occurs when the spinal cord sustains damage, generally from events such as a car ramming into it. Exercise makes muscles stronger, but full recovery might not be attained.

Been having severe pains behind my head down to my neck and also numbness in my feet and my hands feel very light
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.

Dear Doctor, I am experiencing severe, continuous headaches along with a feeling of dizziness (as if my head is shaking) when lying down. I have also vomited and feel faint. These symptoms persist and are causing significant discomfort. Could you please advise on the next steps or any immediate treatment? Thank you.
Male | 25
Dear Patient, Your report of a significant pain level worries me and I am sorry to hear of this. The very frequent ossification, nausea, and drowsiness that come to you as an offset may have a hidden impact such as a migraine, lack of water, or even middle ear problems. I propose drinking enough water and resting in a dark, calm environment to mitigate your headache. Nevertheless, you should consult a neurologist for, particular treatment advice.

Suffered from stroke 8 months back since the patient is suffering from dysphagia. From the 8 months nothing improvement is shown in dysphagia. When he tries to eat something suddenly the cough comes. From 8 months feeding is from Ryles Tube. Sir please tell us what we can do
Male | 65
Some people have trouble swallowing after a stroke. This condition is called dysphagia, and it's common after a stroke. If someone coughs while eating, it could mean that food is going into their airways instead of their stomach. A feeding tube can help for a while. Speech therapy often helps people regain their ability to swallow over time. Keep in touch with your doctors to get the best care plan.

I have been having consistent headaches and pain all over my head for more than a month now, i usually feel like liquid flowing in my head sometimes, when the headache starts it makes me stressed and angry. Please help me I really need solution to this it's really dealing with me.
Male | 23
Persistent headaches and head pain may be caused by several different factors such as tension, vision fatigue, insufficient fluid intake, and even migraine. The situation of liquid flowing in your head may be connected to sinuses or tension headaches. Consume enough water, handle stress effectively, get sufficient sleep, and go to a neurologist to find the exact reason and receive the correct treatment.

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.

Good evening Doctor one of my cousin who is 11 yrs old last night suddenly her left leg n hand paralysed... Today we took her to the hospital they scanned her spinal cord fluid but the reports are normal ...what is the reason for her condition
Female | 11
It is caused by a temporary breakdown that interrupts the blood flow to the brain or nerves. The result from the spinal cord fluid scan indicates that she is normal. I would insist on regular checking where she can have enough rest, as it is key to her recovery. Typically, the body heals itself after some time, so in most cases, the paralysis will disappear. If, after all this period, she still experiences these symptoms or possibly worsens, then much stress is seen to be caused, and the situation demands continuous communication with her neurologist for safety.

On Feb 4 I did brain scan there is a doubt of brain tumor . I get headache
Female | 30
You had a brain scan, raising concerns about a brain tumor causing headaches. Headaches indicate tumors, along with nausea, weakness, and impaired vision. Abnormal cells multiplying in the brain form tumors. Tumor treatment involves surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy. Follow your neurologist's advice for further evaluation and management.

I am 68 years old and I had craniotomy surgery last year due to stroke related diabetes and the numbness had gone but now days it has began I don't feel some parts of my arm I can't even manage to carry something or else it will fall and my legs tend to swell what can I do
Male | 68
These issues could stem from nerve recovery after surgery, or they may relate to circulation and fluid retention. I recommend elevating your legs whenever possible and incorporating gentle exercises to promote circulation. Staying hydrated and reducing salt intake can also help manage swelling. However, it's crucial to discuss these new symptoms with your healthcare provider. They can assess your condition and provide tailored advice.

My uncle met with an accident few days ago . He had a head injury. After few days he had lost his memory and also behaving aggressively
Male | 65
Your uncle may suffer from a disorder known as Post-Traumatic Amnesia (PTA) after an injury to the head. Memory loss and aggressive behavior are pervasive symptoms. It is because the main point gets violated, hence, it can be the cause of behavioral changes. Rest, avoiding stress, and patience are necessary for your uncle's recovery.

I have severe headache I think it's tmj headache and not bearable.
Female | 23
Severe headaches that feel related to TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues can be distressing. It's important to consult a dentist or a specialist in oral and maxillofacial medicine for proper evaluation and treatment. They can assess if TMJ dysfunction is causing your headaches and recommend appropriate therapies or referrals for further management.

Post-ischemic stroke, it is necessary to seek medical care as soon as possible and get treatment from a highly trained neurologist or stroke specialist. If you take painkillers such as aspirin, atorvastatin, or apixaban, it might be risky and can even prove to be fatal.

It is always best to consult with her doctor to see what's the best course of action is for her. However, medications such as oxybutynin, tolterodine, and solifenacin may be effective in treating urinary incontinence. Additionally, physical therapy and pelvic floor exercises may help improve her walking and bladder control.

Headaches are the result of either changes in the flow of the fluids around the brain or irritation of the nerves. This is a new symptom for you; tell your neurologist about it. Keep them informed of all your symptoms; this will allow them to decide on the most suitable treatment for your general health care.

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.

When your body battles illnesses, small lumps called lymph nodes help fight infections. At times, they become swollen on your head. These bean-shaped lumps could provoke headaches. You should visit a neurologist to find out more.
