I've been dealing with terminal neuralgia for over 10 years and take 200-300mg of Medicine 56 daily, sometimes up to 8 pills if the pain gets unbearable. My doctor says brain surgery is the only option, but it's too risky. Are there any ayurvedic or homeopathic treatments that could help with this condition?

surgery is advised to the patient ,since conservative therapy is not responding.

I've been feeling this strange warm sensation running down the outside of my left leg, and it's only started happening recently. It's kind of worrying me a bit. Do you think it could be something serious, or is it just one of those weird things that comes and goes? Any advice would be really appreciated.

The warm water sensation running down the outside of your left leg could be due to various reasons such as nerve irritation, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, or even a harmless condition like meralgia paresthetica, which is caused by compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, and it's recommended to consult a neurophysician to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
