I've been feeling really weak and lethargic lately, along with this weird heaviness in my head and vibrations throughout my body. On top of that, there's this occasional loss of coordination when I move. What could be causing these symptoms?

I would recommend seeking medical attention for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take Paracetamol 500mg for relief from any associated headaches or body aches.

View allI'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.

I've been noticing this strange warm sensation in my lower leg lately. It pops up for about a minute then just disappears on its own. There's no pain or swelling, just feels like heat is leaving that area. Occasionally, I'll feel it in my back or shoulder too, but it's pretty rare. Could this be linked to having had Covid a couple of months ago? I had my d-dimer checked back then and it was normal. What might be going on with these sensations?
The intermittent, brief, and painless warm sensations in your lower leg, back, or shoulder could be due to various benign causes, such as vasospasm (temporary blood vessel constriction), nerve sensitivity, or muscle relaxation, and while it's reassuring that your D-dimer levels were normal after COVID-19, it's still possible that you may be experiencing post-COVID-19 symptoms, such as autonomic nervous system dysfunction or peripheral neuropathy, so consulting a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions and determine the best course of action is recommended.

Found out about this issue around 89 months ago but never had any pain or discomfort since then. Is surgery really necessary if there's no pain? Has anyone else had patients with a similar experience?
If there’s no pain or complications, observation may be okay—get regular follow-up imaging.
