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.

I've been experiencing this strange brain sensation, kind of like a vibration, that woke me up suddenly last night. It's happened to me before, a few months ago, and I'm not sure if it's due to stress or maybe not getting enough sleep. As a student, is this something related to my study habits or sleep patterns? It gets worse when I try to go back to sleep or even when I'm reading. After it happens, I can't sleep for about 3 to 4 hours, and the next day my brain feels really jammed. Should I be worried and consider consulting a neurologist about these symptoms?

No, it's not recommended to use a partially consumed syrup that's 6 months old. Its potency, safety, and efficacy may be compromised due to: 1. Expiration 2. Contamination 3. Degradation of active ingredients Discard the old syrup and purchase a new one to ensure your toddler's safety and effective relief. Always check the expiration date and follow proper storage instructions.

Can you tell me if a cervical disc bulge can be treated without surgery based on my MRI report I'm really worried about going under the knife and want to explore other options first

Cervical epidural injections are a well-established non-surgical treatment for C5-C6 disc bulge. They involve the injection of corticosteroids directly into the epidural space near the affected nerve roots. These injections provide both diagnostic and therapeutic benefits.
