I'm having this neck pain for the last couple of days, and it feels like my neck is kind of locked up, maybe like suluku or something. Could you recommend any ointments or balms that might help with this issue?

Feeling a heavy head, especially after eating, can be uncomfortable. Given your blood pressure (BP) reading of 15090 mmHg, it's essential to address both concerns. However, I must emphasize that medication should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
Possible Causes of Heavy Head
- High Blood Pressure: Uncontrolled high BP can cause headaches and a feeling of heaviness in the head.
- Digestive Issues: Eating certain foods can trigger digestive issues, leading to a heavy head feeling.
- Dehydration: Inadequate hydration can cause headaches and a feeling of heaviness.
Lifestyle Changes
- Monitor and manage BP: Work with your doctor to control your BP through lifestyle changes and medication.
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to avoid dehydration.
- Eat smaller, frequent meals: Avoid heavy meals that can exacerbate digestive issues.
- Avoid trigger foods: Identify and avoid foods that trigger digestive issues or headaches.
Medication (only under medical guidance)
- BP medication: Your doctor may prescribe medication to help control your BP.
- Pain relief medication: Over-the-counter pain relief medication like acetaminophen or ibuprofen may be recommended for headaches.

View allI've had a fully torn ACL and grade 3 meniscus tear since May 6th. My orthopedic doctor recommended surgery but I've been trying physiotherapy instead - my leg has improved but still feels weak. Is surgery the only option at this point or could continued physio help me recover fully?
Severe ACL and meniscus tears often need surgery for full recovery. Physiotherapy may improve strength but rarely restores full stability.

I recently had a collision while playing football, and unfortunately, I didn't wear my guard. I got hit on my shin bone, and now it's swollen and painful to walk. I've had shin bone injuries in the past, but this one is the worst. What can I do to help it heal?
Considering your obstetric history and current pregnancy, I'll provide a brief assessment: *Obstetric History* 1. *Previous deliveries*: 1st C-section at 33 weeks, 2nd SVD (spontaneous vaginal delivery) at full term, and 3rd C-section at 36 weeks. 2. *Gap between 3rd and 4th pregnancy*: 8 years. 3. *Current pregnancy*: 34 weeks 2 days, cephalic presentation, placenta anterior. *Key Considerations* 1. *VBAC (Vaginal Birth After C-section)*: Given your previous C-sections, VBAC is a possibility, but it's essential to discuss the risks and benefits with your healthcare provider. 2. *Gestational diabetes*: You're on insulin (5050, 20x10), which indicates gestational diabetes. This condition may impact delivery options. 3. *Placenta anterior*: This placental position may increase the risk of placenta previa or postpartum hemorrhage. *Recommendations* 1. *Consult a healthcare provider*: Discuss your obstetric history, current pregnancy, and delivery options with your healthcare provider. 2. *Assess VBAC eligibility*: Your healthcare provider will evaluate your suitability for VBAC based on your medical history and current pregnancy. 3. *Develop a birth plan*: Create a birth plan that outlines your preferences for delivery, pain management, and postpartum care. 4. *Regular prenatal check-ups*: Continue with regular prenatal check-ups to monitor your pregnancy and adjust your birth plan as needed.
