I have this weird sensation of water in my head and constant tightness, along with sensory OCD. I've tried every type of medication SSRIs, SNRIs, tricyclics, even antipsychotics but nothing has helped. Is there anything else I can try, like surgery or electric therapy? And is this condition even curable?

Water sensation and OCD with med failure may benefit from advanced options like Deep Brain Stimulation or rTMS—consult neurologist or neuropsychiatrist.

Query: I've been dealing with this nerve-pulling sensation in my legs, mainly my right thigh, and hip pain for over a year now. I've been taking Gabapin NT since it started and mixed it with a couple of other medications like Rejunex OD, Homin, and Pregabalin with Mecobalamin at different times. Recently, I've been also using Shelcal and Zincovit. I'm curious if there might be something else I can do about this or if there's a reason why it's not getting any better with the current treatment. What do you think?

Sudden Lower Back Pain: Emergency Guidance_ Given the sudden onset of severe lower back pain, radiating to your legs, and difficulty moving, it's essential to prioritize your health. Since it's been 2 hours, please consider the following steps: *Immediate Action* 1. *Call emergency services or seek immediate medical attention*: Visit the emergency room or urgent care if you haven't already. 2. *Rest and immobilize*: Avoid moving or bending, as this can exacerbate the injury. 3. *Apply ice (optional)*: If you're unable to seek medical attention immediately, apply ice to the affected area for 15-20 minutes to help reduce pain and inflammation. *Potential Causes* 1. *Herniated disk*: Sudden bending or lifting can cause a disk herniation, leading to pain and numbness in the legs. 2. *Muscle strain*: Overstretching or tearing of muscles in the lower back can cause severe pain and limited mobility. 3. *Other possible causes*: Kidney stones, spinal stenosis, or other underlying conditions may also contribute to your symptoms. *Medical Attention* A medical professional will assess your condition and provide a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Be prepared to provide detailed information about your symptoms, medical history, and any previous injuries or conditions.

I've been feeling really weird lately with this cold sensation inside the left side of my head. It's almost like there's cold liquid in there, and it's giving me a tingling feeling in my face. It's strange, right? I've also noticed that I get really sleepy when this happens, and sometimes I experience these intense hot flashes. Is there something I should be worried about? What could this possibly be?

You may be experiencing symptoms of a migraine headache. The cold feeling inside your head, tingling in your face, and hot flashes are common symptoms of migraines. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try taking Sumatriptan (brand name: Imitrex). Additionally, you can take Acetaminophen (brand name: Tylenol) at a dosage of 500-1000mg for pain relief. Make sure to rest in a quiet, dark room and stay hydrated. If these symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been experiencing this persistent pain above my eyebrows and it's really starting to worry me. I'm not sure what's causing it or how I should go about treating it. Can you help explain what might be going on and what steps I should take to feel better?

Pain above the eyebrows can be due to various reasons such as tension headaches, sinusitis, or eye strain. To treat it, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a cold compress to the area can help reduce inflammation and pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
