I've noticed this strange numbness on the skin of my left kneecap in a small area about the size of a coin, and I can't remember injuring it recently. There's no pain, no issues with movement, and I'm not on any medication. I'm a bit puzzled about why it's happening. Could you shed some light on why the skin in that specific spot is numb?

I'm experiencing twitching all over my body, like in my arms, legs, neck, and back. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

Body-wide twitching can be caused by various factors, including anxiety or stress, caffeine or nicotine excess, electrolyte imbalances (potassium, magnesium, or calcium), muscle fatigue, or underlying medical conditions like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or peripheral neuropathy, so consider consulting a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions and determine the best course of action.

My wife has been dealing with TB Meningitis for the last two years. She completed the TB medication course, but she's still struggling with a lot of neural and back pain. An MRI showed signs of myelitis and some changes in her spinal cord, which has us really concerned. The doctors say that while the TB bacteria is gone, the damage might be beyond repair and her chances of recovery are slim at best. They've recommended physiotherapy and visiting pain management centers for her current pain. For about a year and a half, shes been on Gabapin 300 and Gabantip AT. Can you suggest any pain management centers, or maybe share your thoughts on any potential for recovery?
