I'm really concerned because I recently found out I have an 8mm calcified focus on the left side of my brain. Can you explain what this might mean? Should I be worried about it? What could have caused this, and what are the potential effects or treatments? I just need some clarity on what I should expect or do next.

take treatment

I had IPCL eye surgery two months ago and ever since then, I get a one-sided headache whenever I'm exposed to outside air. Taking something like Sinarest gives me relief for half a day, but then the headache comes back. I mentioned this to my doctor at Vasan Eye Care Hospital, but nothing helped. It's really affecting my work and making me frustrated what could be causing this?

eye opinion is advised.

I've been feeling this really weird cold sensation in my right shoulder since last night, like there's a very cold AC blowing right on it. This happened after I twisted myself a bit while trying to adjust my car seat's headrest, which was a bit awkward, and then I sat through a 2-hour movie. My shoulder doesnt hurt, and I can move my arm perfectly fine without any redness or swelling, but this cold feeling is just odd. What could be going on here?

It could be a muscular spasm. as of now, you can apply a diclogel over the area and take a tablet zerodol TH8 twice a day after food for 2 days. it should reduce, if it doesn't, then you need to consult a orthopaedician in person for further evaluation and management.
