Answered on 17th Feb '25
The diagnosis indicates significant spinal injuries, which can lead to loss of movement in the legs. Symptoms such as weakness or paralysis may occur due to nerve involvement. It’s important to follow-up with her medical team for rehabilitation options, which may include physical therapy and specialized care. These can encourage recovery and potentially improve her mobility. Staying positive and engaged in her recovery process is vital, so please reach out to her neurologist for tailored guidance and support.

Every so often, about every month I would say. I get these episodes of dizzy spells and kaliedoscope vision. My vision starts to go black with spots and I see lots of colors. I get very dizzy and sweating a lot
Female | 16
Migraines with aura can happen. They feel dizzy, see colors or spots, sweat a lot. Stress, no sleep, certain foods cause them. Try finding what triggers them. Avoid those things. Drink lots of water. Relax your mind and body. This can help manage the episodes you have.

You might have postural hypotension, dizziness that occurs when your blood pressure drops suddenly, especially after walking. This may cause you to feel unsteady or dizzy. You should drink plenty of water and move slowly. You may need to change your medicine or lifestyle to get help.

I am 46 year old man. I have little fever since days and headache with feeling head like heavyness. I do also vomit with loose motions before 4-5 days and have many anxiety also..
Male | 46
Symptoms such as fever, headache, throwing up, diarrhea, and nervousness could point towards a stomach bug or food poisoning. These might also leave you feeling light-headed or generally unwell. Make sure to drink enough water, get plenty of rest, and stick with bland foods if this is what you’re going through. If your condition doesn’t improve or gets worse than before, please see a doctor so they can examine you properly and give appropriate treatment options.

When I woke up this morning, I couldn't get out bed. I felt dizziness and total blackouts afterwards. I still lying down. What should I do and what might be the cause of this?
Male | 25
You might be going through orthostatic hypotension. This is a long word that means your blood pressure is too low when you try to stand up. This may lead to you feeling lightheaded and dizzy, and eventually, you might even pass out. To help, try moving stairs at least when you get out of bed, and keep hydrated. If the pain continues, visit a neurologist for a thorough check-up and guidance.

My baby was diagnosed with cp still waiting for MRI scan so I want stem therapy for her
Female | 2
CP could result from an injury to the brain before, during or after birth. Indications could be difficulty moving around, rigid muscles and lack of coordination. Although stem cell therapy is still under study, there is no enough evidence supporting its use in CP cases. Treatment plan should be guided by the results of an MRI scan. Let us wait for the scan and then we can talk about what to do next.

My mother has migraine headache... She has taken vasograin tablet but there is no improvement which tablet we should give to her now ?
Female | 40
Your mom suffers from migraines – intense headaches causing throbbing pain and nausea. Vasograin didn't provide relief. Paracetamol is another medication that reduces discomfort. Rest in a dimly lit, quiet space can also help. If symptoms persist, consult a neurologist for advanced treatment options.

I have used lacosamid too. but no diffrence sir what would you advise.
Male | 50
It sounds like you're experiencing discomfort with burning, tingling, and electric sensations in your extremities. Despite normal nerve conduction studies and EMG tests, these symptoms can arise from various causes, including nerve irritation or metabolic factors like elevated blood sugar levels. I recommend continuing to monitor your glucose levels closely. Since medications haven't fully alleviated your pain, consulting a neurologist for further evaluation could be beneficial. They might consider other treatment options or therapies tailored to your needs.

Female | 23
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.

Severe headache and small bump in the right side of head
Male | 21
It may be a result of a recent head injury or tension headache, among other risks. The bump could be a consequence of the pain. One of the ways that can be helpful is to put a cold pack on top of the bump. Lie down afterward for a short rest. If this still doesn't go away, it is advisable to ask for a healthcare professional's opinion for your own safety.

How to recover from paralysis
Male | 68
Being unable to move a part of the body is what paralysis is all about. It can be caused by different things such as strokes, injuries or diseases like MS. Common signs include loss of sensation and/or inability to move. Your comeback will depend on the cause; if it’s due, to, for instance, a stroke then one may recover quicker than expected but usually physical therapy is always recommended. In addition, healthy eating habits exercise, and keeping a positive mindset go a long way in aiding recovery.

I am 52 years old, male. I have a tremor only in my right hand for 4 years and it has been diagnosed as Parkinson's. Which therapy methods are suitable for me? Is stem cell therapy an option for me? I would like to receive advice. Best regard
Male | 52
Your Parkinson's tremor has caused a shaking hand on your right side as the doctor has identified. This can make you shiver, get stiff muscles, or have difficulty with your movements. Parkinson's treatment is the administration of drugs, physical therapy, and as a rule, in a small number of cases, also surgery. Even though research has been done regarding stem cell therapy it is not regularly practiced as a primary therapy for Parkinson's. Follow the prescribed therapies that your doctor gives you.

Right head always pain, every 4 to 5 days in week
Female | 29
Some people have pain on one side of their head for many days in a week. This could be a type of bad headache called a migraine. Migraines make your head hurt in throbs. Lights and sounds may feel too bright or loud. Stress, not enough sleep, some foods, and not drinking enough water can cause migraines. You can try to drink lots of water, get good rest, keep calm, and stay away from bright lights and loud noises. But if the head pain keeps happening, you should talk to a neurologist.

Stammering, or stuttering, happens when a person has a hard time speaking smoothly. They might repeat some sounds or stretch out words. This can make it tough to talk with ease and feel sure of themselves. The cause is a mix of things like genes and how speech grows. The best way to help is speech therapy with a speech expert.

Male | 18
L-Citrulline is a supplement that is usually safe, but if you have epilepsy and are already taking medication, it is better to be careful. L-Citrulline may interfere with the medication you are taking for epilepsy, so it is best to consult a neurologist before introducing it to your routine. Your doctor will make sure it won't create any difficulties for you.
