I have cervical canal stenosis and already had surgery but still dealing with numbness in my legs and can't walk without support. Is homeopathy a good option for me to get better? What treatments would you suggest?

It is a mechanical problem. Spinal cord is pressed from inside. Surgery is only option. Bit it needs to be done precisely. Homeo won't help. Meet an orthopaedic surgeon who specialises in spine.

I've been having this weird cold sensation in my head, like trickling water, for two days now. On top of that, I've been getting these mild headaches every so often over the past few days. I'm a bit worried about the cold feeling in my head. What do you think I should do?

Could be a sinus infection. I recommend taking a decongestant like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) 30mg every 4-6 hours to help with the congestion and cold sensation in your head. Additionally, you can take a pain reliever like Tylenol (acetaminophen) 500mg every 6 hours for the headache. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
