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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
