I'm dealing with some pretty uncomfortable symptoms and could really use some insight. I've got this pain around my left shoulder blade that shoots down my arm, all the way to my fingers, and it's causing some tingling and numbness in my hand. It's also affecting my biceps and triceps. I believe there's something going on with the discs at C5C6 and C6C7, potentially some disc herniation or a posterior disc osteophyte complex. I'm a bit worried about what all this means and what I should do nextdo you have any advice?

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been diagnosed with paralysis, and she can't speak at all. Does this mean it's entirely due to paralysis? What should we do next?

I'm having this issue where clear fluid keeps leaking from my nose whenever I bend down. This has been happening for about a year now, and I can count about 56 drops each time. My ENT thinks it could be a CSF leak and suggested doing some fluid biochemistry, but I'm having trouble collecting enough fluid for the test. Do you think this suspicion makes sense? And how can I get this confirmed? Are there any risks I should be worried about? I haven't had a persistent cold or anything like that, so I'm a bit lost on what I should do next.

Question

I'm really concerned about my mom. She's been feeling this odd sensation and burning in her left leg, specifically between the knee and thigh. I was doing some reading online and it seems really similar to something called Meralgia Paraesthetica. This all started after she had laparoscopic surgery for gallbladder stones back in October 2016. It's not always there, but when it does show up, it seems to be happening more often now. I'm really hoping for some advice on how we could help her feel better. Should we be seeing a certain type of doctor for this?
