Answered on 10th Dec '24

Even though there are various reasons such as nerve compression, poor blood circulation, or even tension in muscles that can cause numbness in the toe of your right leg. As distressful as it may appear, for most cases, the problem will be resolved by simple steps such as changing posture, physical movement on regualr basics or doing gentle meditative exercises. Make sure to avoid any activities that worsen the sensation. Even though this numbness has not gone away in the past five days, it is better to be checked by a neurologist to find the exact cause.

Your problem seems to point that your sleep and your focus are getting affected by your case. It may be due to your sleep pattern or stress. You should just adopt some healthy habits such as following a consistent sleep schedule, exercise daily, and keep away from electronic devices before going to bed. In order to develop better concentration usage of small study sessions and break will be the answer. If this problem still exists, seeing a physician or a mental health professional might be a good option.

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.

I have had a headache for 4 days now and 2 out of the 4 days have been migraine like headaches

Female | 19

Migraine­s can be very hard. They ofte­n come with throbbing pain in your head. You may fee­l sick to your stomach. Light and sounds make it worse. Not enough sle­ep and stress can cause migraine­s. Some foods can start them too. Make sure­ you eat good stuff. Drink lots of water. Get lots of re­st. If headaches kee­p happening, talk to a doctor.

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.

I'm having headache since morning taken disprine and proper 8 hours sleep but having tha same please suggest

Male | 25

Headaches are varied and can be caused by the smallest things such as stress, dehydration, or looking at a display for a long time. Pain relief is sometimes simple and in this case, Disprin will help. Also, drink water, have a break every half hour of screen time, and learn to control bad thoughts by doing relaxation exercises such as deep breathing. If pain persists for a day, or if the symptoms worsen, consult a doctor to conduct a full examination and have them prescribe the best form of recovery.

Doctor, the patient has cerebral palsy dystonia. Is steam cell treatment better ordeep brain stimulation beneficial for him, Because deep brain stimulation is beneficial for Parkinson’s patients only, and its success rate is high because it is primary dystonia and he has secondary dystonia. Thank you very much.

Male | 28

In this case, deep brain stimulation may not be the best choice since it's typically used for Parkinson's disease. Stem cell therapy that replaces damaged cells instead could be one of the ways to do it. Cerebral palsy dystonia can cause muscle stiffness or uncontrollable movements. Always consult with a doctor to explore suitable options.
