I've been experiencing this persistent pain above my eyebrows and it's really starting to worry me. I'm not sure what's causing it or how I should go about treating it. Can you help explain what might be going on and what steps I should take to feel better?

Pain above the eyebrows can be due to various reasons such as tension headaches, sinusitis, or eye strain. To treat it, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a cold compress to the area can help reduce inflammation and pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with chronic pain in both my legs since 2009. It started in my left leg and has now moved to the right too. Both my heels and feet are constantly hurting, and I feel this pain day and night. There's also some weakness and warmth in my legs, and at times, I feel it in my upper limbs as well. I've also been experiencing hair loss on my scalp, beard, and stomach for the last year and a half. I'm really starting to worrywhat could be causing this, and what should I do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of neuropathic pain and peripheral neuropathy. For the chronic pain in your legs, a medication like Gabapentin (brand name Neurontin) can be helpful. I recommend starting with a low dose of 300mg at night, and gradually increasing to 300mg three times a day as needed for pain relief. Additionally, for the symptoms of weakness and warmth in your legs, as well as any neuropathic pain in your upper limbs, a medication like Pregabalin (brand name Lyrica) can be beneficial. A starting dose of 75mg twice a day can be effective, with the option to increase to 150mg twice a day if needed. Hair loss in various parts of the body could be due to multiple factors, including nutritional deficiencies or hormonal imbalances. I recommend consulting with a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment options for your hair loss.
