I'm having this persistent pain in my left arm and shoulder that I've been dealing with for the past 34 days. It seems to start from my neck and sometimes even gets numb. It's starting to worry me. Could this be something serious? What should I do?

To be on the safer side, have an ECG done, just to ensure cardiac normalcy. The pain is most likely cervival radiculopathy, which means it is referred pain from compression of the spinal cord. You can take one tablet of Flexon MR after food if the pain increases in severity. Make sure to rest your arm and shoulder, and avoid any activities that worsen the pain. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm experiencing this weird rise in my body temperature on my palms, soles, back, and neck every evening for about 2-3 hours, but I don't have any other symptoms. I got all sorts of tests done, like CBC, HIV, typhoid, and malaria, and they all came back normal. However, I recently found out my Vitamin B12 is pretty low at 140, so I've started taking medicine and injections for that. But what I'm really worried about is what's causing this burning sensation in those areas. Can you help figure out what's going on?

Instead, consider: 1. _Exercise_: Focus on stretches, yoga, and posture-improving exercises. 2. _Nutrition_: Ensure adequate calcium, vitamin D, and protein intake. 3. _Sleep_: Prioritize 7-8 hours of sleep for optimal growth hormone production.

My wife has been dealing with TB Meningitis for the last two years. She completed the TB medication course, but she's still struggling with a lot of neural and back pain. An MRI showed signs of myelitis and some changes in her spinal cord, which has us really concerned. The doctors say that while the TB bacteria is gone, the damage might be beyond repair and her chances of recovery are slim at best. They've recommended physiotherapy and visiting pain management centers for her current pain. For about a year and a half, shes been on Gabapin 300 and Gabantip AT. Can you suggest any pain management centers, or maybe share your thoughts on any potential for recovery?
