I've had a fracture in my right hand, and as a result, my radial nerve got damaged. Now my wrist has dropped, and I can't lift my fingers anymore. I'm currently going through physiotherapy, but I'm not seeing much improvement. What could be going wrong, and is there anything else I should be doing to help with the recovery?

I'm sorry to hear about the difficulty you're experiencing with your radial nerve injury. It's common to see slow progress with nerve recovery, but consistency with physiotherapy is key. If you're not noticing significant improvement, it might be helpful to reassess your treatment plan with your healthcare provider to explore additional options.

I'm dealing with this twitching on my left index finger that started a couple of days ago. It's just that one finger and it only lasts a few minutes, but it keeps happening. I'm kind of worried about what could be causing it and wondering if it's something serious. Is there a way to sort this out on my own, or do I need to see a doctor? Any insights would be really helpful.
The twitching in your left index finger could be due to minor causes such as fatigue, caffeine or nicotine consumption, nutrient deficiencies (magnesium, potassium, or calcium), or temporary nerve irritation, but in rare cases, it could be an early sign of a neurological condition like benign fasciculation syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
