I'm experiencing this pain in my hands and feet when I walk, and it's got me a bit worried. There's also this weird numbness in my fingers at night when I'm trying to sleep. Could this be peripheral neuropathy? What should I do about it?

Suffering from peripheral neuropathy with pain in hands and feet while walking and numbness in fingers at night during sleep. This condition can be managed with medications such as Gabapentin (Neurontin) starting at 300mg taken orally once a day at bedtime, then titrated up to 300mg three times a day. Additionally, Pregabalin (Lyrica) can be taken at a starting dose of 75mg twice a day or 50mg three times a day, which can be increased to 300mg to 450mg per day in two or three divided doses. Please consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

I got hit pretty hard on the left side of my head, right by my ear, and I've had a lot of pain. It even started bleeding, and it's still going on. The pain's not as bad now, but I'm feeling really dizzy when I'm just doing normal stuff. Is this something I should be really worried about? What should I do next?

The severe pain, bleeding, and dizziness after a heavy slap on the head near the ear suggest a possible temporal bone fracture, middle ear injury, or inner ear damage; the persistent bleeding from the ear is a concerning symptom that requires immediate medical attention; seek emergency care from an ENT specialist or a neurosurgeon to evaluate and manage potential complications, such as a cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leak, meningitis, or hearing loss.
