My friend had a bike accident 8 months ago and got a brain injury with a blood clot. Even though the clot got better, he still has memory and behavior problems and is on medication. Now he's been diagnosed with a fistula and needs surgery. Is it safe to try homeopathy for the fistula while he's still taking his brain injury meds?

Homeopathy is not recommended for fistulas with history of trauma‚Äîbest to go with surgical correction after neuro clearance.

I'm having this weird needle-like sensation in the back of my head that started today. Everything else feels pretty normal though, and the pricking isn't happening all the time. Any idea what could be causing this?

It sounds like youre experiencing occasional nerve-related sensations, which can sometimes happen due to stress, posture, or minor nerve irritations. Since everything else is normal, its likely not serious, but if it persists or worsens, please consider seeing a doctor for evaluation.
