I'm really concerned about something unusual that happened today. My friend experienced twisting of her tongue a couple of times at different intervals. We went to see a general physician who checked her vitals and said everything seemed normal. However, he recommended we get an MRI or a CT scan done. Now, I'm wondering if we should also consult a neurologist. Does this situation typically require a specialist? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

I would definitely advise you to get it checked out by a neurologist in person for further evaluation and management. He will examine you and suggest you further.

View allI'm really struggling with cervical spondylosis and loss of cervical lordosis. My MRI report indicates some serious stuff like a C5-C6 disc with an annular fissure and diffuse posterior bulge, and it's even got central herniation pressing on my spinal cord and affecting both neural foramina. There's this hyperintense signal on the left side of my spinal cord suggesting myomalacia. Also, the C6-C7 disc has its own issues with another fissure and bulge, plus a right paracentral herniation affecting my spinal cord and right C7 nerve, again encroaching on both neural foramina. With all this, I get this annoying tingling in my legs and nerve pain in one of my right-hand fingers. Sitting for long periods just makes my entire spine hurt. I'm curious if there's any Ayurvedic treatment out there that could completely cure this. Also, would I be able to handle any job with my condition? I've tried physiotherapy treatments like IFT, ultra cervical traction, and steam for months, which seemed to help for a while. But the pain is back. Should I keep doing the same physiotherapy again, or is there anything else you'd recommend?

I'm 84 and I've been experiencing some discomfort on the right side of the back of my head. It feels like there's a noise or something going on inside. I already did a scan and it came back with Diffuse Cerebral Atrophy. I'm currently in Baharampur, W.B. and I'm just not sure what steps I should take next. Could you please advise me on what I should do?
