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've been feeling a lot of shivering in my body recently, and it's been making me a bit anxious. Sometimes it's like an internal shivering, and other times it's just my hands or leg that start to shake. It's really starting to worry me, and I'm not sure what's causing it or what I should do. Could you give me some advice on this?

My dad had a paralysis attack a few days ago and they've found a brain clot because his BP was super high, up at 212. He's paralyzed now, can't speak, and his right hand isn't working. He's in the hospital, but I'm really worried if this is going to be his reality forever or if there's a chance he could recover and lead a normal life again. What can we do to help his recovery? I've got his MRI reports too, but I can only send one image due to app restrictions. What should our next steps be?

we can get a proper conclution only after seeing mri report stroke recovery can be very positive, especially with good medical care and rehabilitation.
