  • How do you treat nerve damage in the hand?

    Clearly, it would depend on the accuracy of the diagnosis. However, nerve and tendon transplant surgery has advanced and offers hope. You can contact a reconstructive (plastic) surgeon or a hand surgeon for further exploration.  READ MORE

  • Tegretol medicine for Epilepsy & Memory Loss?

    Yes, Tegretol can affect memory and Topomax can affect concentration. Some newer drugs may have less of this effect. Some types of Epilepsy itself can sometimes affect memory.

  • Ankle swollen, bruised feels like shooting sparks and burning?

    I can understand your frustration, and with the current situation with pain management, many are falling between the cracks. Many people have multiple sources of pain, which at the end of the day is a subjective symptom and cannot be measured. You may need a dual approach: 1) assessment and pain management by an interventional pain specialist in view of the suspicion of complex pain syndrome, etc. 2) Diagnosis of etiology, which may involve a team including vascular neurology, etc. You should probably go to university affiliated or higher center where all specialities may be available.

  • Skull laceration nerve damage?

    You clearly need an assessment with a full history and appropriate investigations for both your fainting spells and suspected traumatic neuropathy. I presume the cause of the fainting is simple even, then treatment may be worth pursuing in view of the frequency and consequences. I would see a neurologist for an assessment. The syncope or fainting may also be related to migraine for which also there are new treatments.You need a proper assessment by a neurologist. READ MORE

  • Dizziness?

    I would first get your eye checked by an ophthalmologist to rule out Idiopathic intracranial hypertension in view of the fact you are on OC. READ MORE

  • When should I be worried about pins and needles?

    There are many causes. The first question to ask is, it it localized? Is it self limiting? Are there any precipitating factors? Any underlying illness? If it is long standing and persistent, see a neurologist to rule out a peripheral neuropathy. Most self-limiting types will turn out to be benign. READ MORE

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

    You first have to determine if there is an underlying cause for compression or other irritation of the nerve supplying the area. Treatment depends on cause and associated symptoms. It would be helpful to see a physician if it is not due to such simple causes like tight clothing or posture. READ MORE

Younger patients, e.g., below 5, may withstand more radical resection like disconnecting a hemisphere functional hemispherectomy. READ MORE

  • What are the 3 types of strokes?

    Hemorrhagic Embolic and Thrombotic.  READ MORE

    Since you seem to have IIH, rapid reduction in CSF pressure and/or leak can lead to intracranial hypotension head and other symptoms. Spinal leak can last hours to weeks.
