My father is 62 and has trouble walking his leg below the knee goes numb, and he has to stop for 10-12 minutes before he can walk again. A neurosurgeon recommended surgery, but he doesn't want to go through with it. He's been taking Neurobin Forte and finds it helpful, but is there a more effective tablet or medicine that can manage his pain and symptoms without surgery? The MRI report shows some issues, but he's hesitant about an operation. What else can we try?

It's understandable that your father is hesitant about surgery. While Neurobin Forte might offer some relief, other medications and therapies may be explored to manage his symptoms without surgery. Focusing on pain management, improving blood flow, and managing nerve compression, with a multi-pronged approach, can be helpful.

View allI'm really starting to get worried about this constant twitching under my left eye. It's been happening for about 2 months now. Do you think it could be something serious, or is it usually just a minor issue?
That's common it could be due to twitching, no need to worry

I've noticed that my left leg and arm seem to go numb pretty often when I'm sleeping. It happens more on the left side, and I'm starting to get a bit worried. Also, during sex, I've felt like my heart is somewhat heavier than usual. I'm just curious if these things are connected or if I should be concerned. Any ideas on what might be causing these symptoms?
My left leg and left arm get numb more frequently while sleeping. This could be due to poor blood circulation or nerve compression. I recommend trying Vitamin B complex supplements to improve nerve health. Additionally, consider using a magnesium supplement to help with muscle relaxation and blood flow. For the feeling of a heavier heart during sex, it is important to monitor your heart health. I suggest taking low-dose aspirin daily to help with blood flow and consulting a cardiologist for further evaluation.

I've been dealing with pain in my lower jaw near my ear, and my neck for about five months now, and Im getting really worried. I first saw an ENT a few months ago, and he didn't find any infections in my sinus or ear. My dentist mentioned a few issues, and I got those treatments done, but he still thinks it could be a tooth fracture, and also suggested checking for TMJD or Eagle Syndrome. Meanwhile, my general physician thinks it might be trigeminal neuralgia. My symptoms include a constant burning pain in the lower jaw under the ear with mild swelling on the right side, ear pain, and a clogged feeling with a small lump on the side of my neck. An ultrasound didn't reveal any abnormalities, but there's ringing and a soft humming sound in my ear, especially when I lie down with the AC or fan on. My ear feels completely clogged at times, and theres sore pain on one spot on the top of my head above the ear, plus a constant feeling of something being stuck in my throat, and my neck feels tight and stiff. This all started back in May when I was chewing a lot. I'm thinking of going back to the ENT; do you think they could help diagnose if this is some kind of neuralgia or nerve issue? It's been a really tough time, and I'd love some advice on what to do next.
