I'm really worried about some persistent pain I've been experiencing. My right hand has been hurting for about 10 years now. It used to get worse whenever I lifted anything heavy, but lately, the pain has become constant, starting from my neck and down to the tip of my right hand. Do you have any idea what might be causing this, and is there anything I can do to alleviate it?

It sounds like you may have a nerve-related issue, such as cervical radiculopathy, which can cause pain radiating from the neck to the arm. Avoid heavy lifting, and consider seeing a neurologist or orthopedist for an MRI or detailed evaluation to pinpoint the cause and get relief.

I've been dealing with terminal neuralgia for over 10 years and take 200-300mg of Medicine 56 daily, sometimes up to 8 pills if the pain gets unbearable. My doctor says brain surgery is the only option, but it's too risky. Are there any ayurvedic or homeopathic treatments that could help with this condition?

surgery is advised to the patient ,since conservative therapy is not responding.
