Question 1

I've been experiencing this odd crawling sensation in my body, mainly in the breast area and the sole of my foot. It sometimes happens in other parts too. Occasionally, there's a twitch or a prickling pain. Is this something serious I should be worried about? Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you're experiencing abnormal sensations like crawling, twitching, and pricking pain, which could be due to nerve irritation or other underlying issues. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation, as these symptoms could be related to conditions like nerve compression or vitamin deficiencies.

Question 2

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.

Accepted Answer

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.

Ive been having trouble sleeping in my bed because my body gets totally numb. Its gotten to the point where Ive started sleeping on the floor instead. But even when I use a soft pillow, my head still goes numb. Is there any way to fix this? I'm really worried about what's going on.

Numbness in any part of body indicates some involvement of nerves. It could be due to bad posture or nerve compression. If it is due to improper posture, it will resolve with correction of posture. If numbness is persistent, Consult a Neurospine specialist.
