When I press my head backside (the place where it was hit when I fell)... It's bleeding from nose... And we took a CT scan they told there's nothing on it... But now it's strted to bleeding on ears and then the eyes on the side where it was hit
Male | 16
It sounds like you are experiencing some serious symptoms, even though your CT scan showed no abnormalities. Bleeding from the nose, ears, and eyes after a head injury can be concerning and should be taken seriously. I strongly recommend that you visit a neurologist or an ENT specialist as soon as possible for a thorough examination and proper treatment. They will be able to assess your condition more accurately and provide the necessary care.

MND or Motor Neuron Disease is a severe disorder that causes damage to the nerve cells responsible for controlling muscles. MND patients have various treatment choices that are based on symptoms. Hence it is important that anyone suspected as having MND must immediately consult a neurologist or an MND specialist for correct diagnosis and treatment.

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

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.

Fall can be caused by many problems, including balance disorders, vision problems, or muscle weakness. Take care of yourself by getting enough sleep, staying hydrated, and checking your medication for side effects. Consult a neurologist for a proper assessment and instructions on how to prevent falls in the future.

Epilepsy can be challenging at this time. It’s worrying that you have a few seizures each year. It may be a good idea to see a neurologist. They can help work out whether it’s safe for you to get pregnant while controlling your fitness. You need to strike the right balance for yourself and your unborn child too.

Reasons for dizziness and nausea can also be divided into several categories. It could be due to water deficiency, not proper eating, or over-exercising. Get enough sleep, take care of your diet, and hydrate well. If dizziness and nausea would be the things that continue to occur, it would be better to consult a neurologist.

Female | 22
Feeling lightheaded, dizzy, and nauseous? That can be tough. If you skipped breakfast, low blood sugar or dehydration could be the reason. Drink some water and have a healthy snack—it should help. But if you still feel dizzy, it's important to see a doctor. In the meantime, focus on staying hydrated and eating something. If these symptoms continue, visit a neurologist.

Dr but my memory issues due to brain bleeding will be improved know ?I will recover from memory loss knw?
Male | 23
The reason behind this may be that the bleeding has put pressure on your brain and harmed the tissues responsible for memory. Regaining lost memories varies from person to person depending on how much they have been damaged. The methods used in curing include giving the mind enough time to heal, physical therapy, and at times drugs to help with recollection. To get the best results it’s important that you do as the neurologist tells you.

Male | 36
Your head hurts and your back too. This can be a result of nervousness, worry, and you might not even notice your sitting or looking at a screen. Give yourself time to walk around, stretch, and perform relaxation methods. You can also apply a warm compress to the painful areas and exercise walking Somewhat slow, easy walking, and jogging are also good for the body. And if the pain is still there, let a specialist examine it.

Female | 27
You could have carpal tunnel syndrome. It occurs when a nerve in your wrist gets compressed. Symptoms include tingling, burning, numbness. Repeatedly using your hand, like typing extensively, may cause it. Try resting your hand, wearing a brace, and doing hand exercises. If it persists, consult an orhopedist.

Hello. On 14.12.2020, my brother had a brain hemorrhage in his left brain. He stayed in intensive care for 1 month. After leaving intensive care, he only received physical therapy support. Currently, his right arm is partially paralyzed and he has no speech ability. Do you think there is a method other than physical therapy that can be a permanent treatment? We cannot come for an examination because we do not live where you are. If you have such a method, we would like to consult and come to you. We would be very happy if you give feedback. enjoy your work
Male | 26
Following a brain hemorrhage, symptoms such as paralysis and speech difficulties can occur due to damage in specific brain areas. While physical therapy is essential for recovery, other methods like occupational therapy, speech therapy, or advanced rehabilitation techniques may also help improve function and communication. It's vital to consult with a neurologist to explore a personalized approach whether in-person or through telemedicine. Progress takes time and varies for each individual, so continuing therapy and support is crucial.

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.

Ongoing headaches are troubling. Your symptoms - right-side head, eye, and ear pain, focus and memory issues - suggest a potential problem. Getting a thorough check-up is crucial to pinpoint the exact cause. Don't disregard these warning signs, as they could signify an underlying serious condition. Seek prompt medical attention to avoid potential complications.

Many individuals experience intense discomfort throughout the head, which can stem from various causes, including tension, migraines, or sinus issues. Accompanying signs may include sensitivity to light or sound, nausea, or pressure. To alleviate discomfort, consider resting in a quiet, dark room, staying hydrated, and using over-the-counter pain relievers if suitable for you. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is essential to consult neurologist for a thorough evaluation.

It is usual to have the side effects of tiredness and drowsiness after use of such drugs. But if they are unable to come to life properly, it may be an indicator that the dosage of the medication needs to be modified. The first few days may be hard for them but then they will start to improve and feel normal again. Make sure they get plenty of sleep and drink lots of water. If the symptoms continue or become more severe, get in touch with their doctor for further instructions.

Choroid plexuses cyst in left lateral ventricle
Female | 21
Choroid plexus cysts are fluid-filled sacs commonly found in the brain and often discovered during imaging studies. They usually do not cause any symptoms and are generally harmless. The exact reasons for their formation remain unclear, but they often resolve on their own over time. It's important to follow up with your neurologist, who may recommend regular monitoring through scans to ensure there are no changes.

I have dizziness throughout the day and head swinging also. Plus there is bleeding slightly light in color. And I had empty stomach throughout the day also.
Female | 25
Dizziness, head swinging, and slightly light bleeding - these symptoms sound like low blood sugar. They happen when you don't eat enough. Your blood sugar drops, making you feel unsteady and dizzy. To help, eat regular meals and snacks all day to keep blood sugar steady. Include a mix of healthy foods: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins. If the symptoms don't go away, talk to a neurologist. They'll evaluate further.
