I'm experiencing a sharp bee sting-like pain in my lower leg that lasts for just 1 or 2 seconds. I've felt this before a few months back, but it didn't stick around for long. Now, it seems to come and go more frequently and isn't going away. What could be causing these pains? Is there something I should be worried about?

My brother has been taking Tegretol CR 200 and Frisium 10mg tablets for his fits since he was 5 years old, but now we can't find the Tegretol CR 200 in stores or online. What can we use as a substitute for it? We really can't afford for him to skip his medicine, so I'd really appreciate any advice.

better consult your neurologist as soon as possible

I'm looking at my blood work results and I'm curious about my white blood cell count, which is 13.3, and my neutrophils are at 75.4 with lymphocytes at 17.8. I don't have any symptoms, but I've been taking Topamax for my headaches. Should I be worried about these numbers?

I've been dealing with chronic pain in both my legs since 2009. It started in my left leg and has now moved to the right too. Both my heels and feet are constantly hurting, and I feel this pain day and night. There's also some weakness and warmth in my legs, and at times, I feel it in my upper limbs as well. I've also been experiencing hair loss on my scalp, beard, and stomach for the last year and a half. I'm really starting to worrywhat could be causing this, and what should I do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of neuropathic pain and peripheral neuropathy. For the chronic pain in your legs, a medication like Gabapentin (brand name Neurontin) can be helpful. I recommend starting with a low dose of 300mg at night, and gradually increasing to 300mg three times a day as needed for pain relief. Additionally, for the symptoms of weakness and warmth in your legs, as well as any neuropathic pain in your upper limbs, a medication like Pregabalin (brand name Lyrica) can be beneficial. A starting dose of 75mg twice a day can be effective, with the option to increase to 150mg twice a day if needed. Hair loss in various parts of the body could be due to multiple factors, including nutritional deficiencies or hormonal imbalances. I recommend consulting with a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment options for your hair loss.
