I'm really worried because my mom started taking Martifur, just like her doctor said, but now she's experiencing a pretty bad burning sensation and her legs, along with the rest of her body, feel shaky and weak. Is this something we should be concerned about, or is it a normal side effect?

The severe burning sensation, shaky and weak legs, and body weakness your mother is experiencing while taking Martifur (a urinary tract antiseptic) are not typical side effects

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.

What should I do about this pain? Can we meet to discuss treatment options? I really need to find a way to get rid of it. Right now, I can only sleep when I take Maxgalin to ease the pain, but I'm worried about how long I should keep using it.

You can take Maxgalin for pain relief for as long as your doctor prescribes it. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and duration of treatment. Maxgalin is commonly prescribed for neuropathic pain and the dosage can vary depending on the severity of your pain. It is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.
