I've been dealing with some weird numbness in my left leg, specifically below the knee and above the foot. It all started after I was sitting for a while with my legs stretched out. I thought it was just the usual numbness from stretching and figured it would go away, but it's still there, and I can barely feel anything in that area. Is this something I should be worried about, or is there anything I can do to make it go away faster?

I'm dealing with vertigo and recently visited a Patanjali Arogya Kendra. The doctor there prescribed me divya mukta vati extra power, arjunarist syrup, protiking malt, and sperimed capsules. I'm a bit worried if this is the right treatment for my vertigo. Also, my blood pressure was measured at 110150. Should I be concerned about this? Any advice would really help!

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.
