My friend had a bike accident 8 months ago and got a brain injury with a blood clot. Even though the clot got better, he still has memory and behavior problems and is on medication. Now he's been diagnosed with a fistula and needs surgery. Is it safe to try homeopathy for the fistula while he's still taking his brain injury meds?

Homeopathy is not recommended for fistulas with history of trauma‚Äîbest to go with surgical correction after neuro clearance.

I've been feeling this pain for the past 2 days, and there's this weird pinching or stinging sensation that's really bothering me. It's kind of agonizing, and I'm curious why this is happening. No injection has ever given me such an odd feeling before. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Probabaly It might be due to nutritional defiency and if you have any swalling or redness at injection site kindly consult for a doctor .

I've been dealing with a bulging disc at L4 L5 S1 on my right side, and I used to get this electric shock-like pain down my right leg when sleeping, walking, or sneezing. But now the pain has switched to my left leg in the same area, and the worst part is I'm getting that shooting current-like pain in my left front thigh joint when walking. Is there any way this can heal completely without needing surgery?

Your symptoms suggest bilateral nerve involvement. Non-surgical options like physiotherapy, posture correction, and medications can help, but MRI and expert evaluation are essential.
