Dr. Jose R. Foradada III, M.D.'s Expert Contributions
  • Is vestibular migraine a neurological disorder?

    Yes. It is a not so common, but commonly seen problem in the practice of Neurology. Diagnosis is based on clinical assessment and ruling out middle ear (Menier's) problems or brainstem problems. Once diagnosed, treatment is comparable to other types of migraines. READ MORE

  • Can a neurologist help with motion sickness?

    Yes, other doctors can as well. Most importantly is diagnosing the specific cause and directing treatment accordingly. In motion sickness, an ENT ear, nose and throat specialist may be involved, and in most sophisticated cases, a highly specialized dr. known as a Neurotologist (combination Neurologist ENT) may need to be consulted. READ MORE

  • How long does it take to recover from spinal decompression surgery?

    Although recovery occurs rapidly in a significant number of cases, it may take months or longer and may be incomplete. Factors to consider are time from injury to decompression and extent of damage from the compression as well as institution of rehabilitation if needed.  Wish you well and a speedy recovery. READ MORE

  • Why do I have thoughts about murdering people even though I would never act on it?

    Most people can have those type of thoughts occur sporadically and just like you do. They realize the absurdity and conclude just as you have that it is something you would not carry through. If they are sporadic and infrequent and you realize and rationalize with similar moral constraints, then you should be fine. If, however, the thoughts become frequent and/or pervasive or you find yourself plotting to do such, then I suggest you seek the help of a psychologist and/or psychiatrist immediately. READ MORE

  • Tingling?

    You need to talk and see your doctor/neurologist and have an MRI of your spine and possibly further testing (lumbar puncture). Your symptoms could indicate problems with your spinal cord or its covering (meninges). READ MORE

  • Can migraines cause vertigo?

    Yes, they can. Commonly known as posterior circulation or Basilar migraines. They can be associated with vertigo, loss of vision (temporary; the lowering curtain effect), syncope, abdominal discomfort and or vomiting. READ MORE

  • How do you stay confident with Tourettes?

    Staying confident with any disability is often not an easy task. Yet when achieved by focusing on all the many positive qualities and characteristics that each individual has and minimizing the attention on the negative ones, you will feel triumphant and your Tourettes will become invisible. Redirect your energy and focus to the positive and say to yourself: I've had enough of your petulant disruptions and will part with you. Being confident about yourself is one of the essentials of overcoming Tourettes.   READ MORE

  • What does rapid eye blinking indicate?

    While both conditions are common and usually fairly benign, having them occur concurrently although may still be benign and unrelated. If persistent, it would warrant further neurological assessment and testing. There could be a multitude of conditions, most benign, but others not so, that should be evaluated and ruled out. I would suggest you discuss this with your parents and/or a family member and see a neurologist or your primary for appropriate evaluation and referral to a specialist. Hope this offers some guidance.  Dr. F.   READ MORE

  • How do I get rid of numbness in my hand?

    You first have to find out what is causing the numbness. If it's a nerve problem (carpal tunnel), circulatory, or, more uncommonly, at the brain level. Make an appointment with your primary or neurologist for a comprehensive assessment and testing. Once you know what the problem is, then you can direct specific treatment for it. READ MORE

  • How do I treat a trapped nerve in my neck?

    It depends on what is "trapping" the nerve. If it is the usual bulging or herniated disk. Initially, decompression therapy (traction) may resolve the problem. If there's significant disk bulging or vertebral body deterioration, then surgery may be necessary. Any other less common causes of nerve entrapment need to be addressed on an individual case by case basis. Check with your doctor as to the causes and best treatment options from the more conservative ones to the more aggressive options. READ MORE

  • What is the most effective treatment for shoulder nerve damage?

    It depends on the origin and extent of the injury. It can vary from rest then progressive therapy to major surgery and rehabilitation. Discuss with your Neurologist and or Neurosurgeon these facts and what treatment options from conservative to aggressive are available. READ MORE

  • How long does paralysis last after a stroke?

    Paralysis after a stroke can be brief, a few hours to days in what is known  as a TIA (Transient ischemic attack). It can last several weeks to months if there's rapid implementation of recirculation (treated within 24 to 72 hours with tpa = thrombolysis = medication to break up or dissolve the clot). Other times, unfortunately, rapid return of blood supply to the area may not be established soon enough and paralysis may be permanent. READ MORE

  • Does exercise improve your brain function?

    Absolutely. Exercise increases circulation, which enhances oxygenation to organs and tissues and improved function. READ MORE

  • What type of anesthesia is used for hand nerve surgery?

    It depends. If it's not a major surgery, sometimes local anesthesia with a conscious sedation cocktail will do. If it entails major repairs, then general anesthesia is required. Discuss this with your doctor(s).  READ MORE

  • Do people with epilepsy need to eat more than most people?

    No. The only dietary benefits associated with epilepsy are diets high in protein and fat and low in carbohydrates (modified Atkins or modified Ketogenic diets) have been reported to diminish seizure frequency.  READ MORE

  • Can you regain use of your arm after stroke?

    Depending on the extent of the stroke, there may be partial to nearly full recovery when appropriate rehabilitation therapy is instituted. Taking into account that the longer it takes to present some regaining of function, the less likely it is to produce significant recovery. READ MORE

  • Can nerve damage cause headaches?

    It can. Due to nerve roots of the cervical spine being pinched, it can cause headaches to the back and posterior lateral aspects of the head. Commonly known as Cervical Neuralgia. READ MORE

  • What does it mean when your back tingles?

    If it's just in one area or spot, it may be due to nerve involvement. I cannot comment on the whole back tingling without more specifics. READ MORE

    It can if it's not permanently damaged. If after 6 months it hasn't gone away, there's likely permanent damage and tingling may persist. READ MORE
