My dad's been experiencing this weird numbness and needle-like sensation in the two fingers next to his thumb for a few days now. It's mainly in the tip. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
This numbness and tingling sensation in the fingers could be due to a condition called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I recommend using a wrist splint to keep the wrist in a neutral position, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief cream containing diclofenac can help alleviate the symptoms. If the symptoms persist, I suggest consulting a doctor for further evaluation and management.

Concussion testing is the test to evaluate brain function before and after a head trauma, which is performed by a health-care professional. They measure physical skills such as balance, and mental skills such as memory, concentration, how quickly you can think and solve problems, and your ability to pay attention. Sometimes, a baseline test is performed in persons who are at risk of getting a concussion such as athletes.

I'm having some trouble with my legs and feet at night. They start hurting, and my feet get warm, usually lasting an hour or two. I end up having to put cold water on my feet a couple of times to get some sleep. By morning, they still feel numb. I'm worried this might be something serious. Do you think I should see a specialist, and if so, what kind?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to nerve compression or poor circulation, such as in conditions like peripheral neuropathy or restless leg syndrome. I recommend visiting a **neurologist** or a **vascular specialist** to get a thorough evaluation and proper diagnosis. It's important to address these symptoms to prevent any potential worsening of the condition.
