I've been experiencing this weird numbness in my body while I'm sleeping at night, and it's making me really restless. I'm just wondering what might be causing it? Are there any specific tests I should consider to figure out whats going on?

The probable causes of teeth grinding or bruxism during sleep are:

  1. Stress and anxiety: Tension can lead to teeth grinding.
  2. Misaligned teeth or bite: Dental issues can cause teeth to grind.
  3. Sleep disorders: Sleep apnea, insomnia, or restless leg syndrome.
  4. Habits: Caffeine, nicotine, or alcohol consumption before bedtime.
  5. Medical conditions: Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Consult a dentist or a healthcare professional to rule out underlying conditions and explore possible treatments.

I'm a 38 year old with severe neck pain that's shooting down into my left hand my doctor suggested a steroid course starting with predmet 16mg and tapering off but mentioned surgery as the next step if that doesn't work does this sound like the right approach for my condition

Usually steroid course is given in carpal tunnel syndrome patients. First of all if ur symptoms r due to CTS ,then only it will work.it will be diagnosed based on nerve conduction studies done by trained neurologist.(surgery will be dobe for severe CTS ) If due to cervical spondylitic( needs mri c.spine ) radiculopathy,stetoids wont be of use . So better to be seen by neurologist and get evaluated properly.(surgery will be done in only severe compression

My mom has lumbar canal stenosis and can't walk more than 300 meters or stand for over 5-10 minutes. She's been getting painkiller injections every 6-8 months for the last 3 years but they're not helping anymore. The doctor prescribed Pregabid 50mg twice daily, Dupact 40mg once daily, and Mecobal 1500mg once daily. Will these meds actually help improve her condition or is surgery the better option at her age? Her MRI report shows the severity - just worried if meds can provide real relief or if we should consider surgery

Surgery is advised to the patient due to lumbar canal stenosis.
