I've been noticing that whenever I'm stressed out, I get pain in my left arm and sometimes in my left hand, along with this tingling sensation. It's worse after nights when I've slept poorly. Plus, there's this spot on the left side of my head that also starts hurting around the same time. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing these symptoms?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of nerve compression or pinched nerves, especially since the pain is associated with tingling sensations. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, you can use a topical pain relief cream containing diclofenac applied to the affected area. It is also important to practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation to help manage your symptoms. If the pain persists, I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really worried about recognizing the symptoms of a stroke and what the treatment process involves. How quickly do I need to get treatment if I suspect someone is having a stroke, and could you explain how the whole treatment process works?
Symptoms of a stroke include sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body, sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding speech, sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes, sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination, and sudden severe headache with no known cause. The treatment for a stroke depends on whether it is ischemic (caused by a blockage in a blood vessel) or hemorrhagic (caused by bleeding in the brain). In the case of an ischemic stroke, the most common treatment is the administration of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) within 4.5 hours of the onset of symptoms to dissolve the clot. Another treatment option is a mechanical thrombectomy, where a catheter is used to remove the clot. For hemorrhagic strokes, treatment may involve surgery to repair the blood vessel or reduce pressure in the brain. The time needed for treatment varies depending on the individual case and the type of stroke. It is crucial to seek immediate medical attention if you suspect a stroke, as early treatment can help minimize brain damage and improve outcomes. Remember, time is of the essence when it comes to treating a stroke, so do not delay in seeking medical help if you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of a stroke.

My mom has been dealing with nerve issues for a long time and can't walk without my dad's support she holds his shoulder to move around. Doctors haven't been able to help, and one even suggested surgery with a 95% failure rate. She's lost all confidence and now struggles with uncontrollable bowel movements and urine, so she barely leaves the house. Even at night, she often falls when rushing to the bathroom, and we have to help her up. Recently, she fell badly and cut her lip. It's heartbreaking to see her suffer like this. Are there any treatments or specialists who could help her walk again or at least improve her condition? Her reports show nerve damage, but we're not sure what else to try.
