I've been dealing with chronic pain in both my legs since 2009. It started in my left leg and has now moved to the right too. Both my heels and feet are constantly hurting, and I feel this pain day and night. There's also some weakness and warmth in my legs, and at times, I feel it in my upper limbs as well. I've also been experiencing hair loss on my scalp, beard, and stomach for the last year and a half. I'm really starting to worrywhat could be causing this, and what should I do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of neuropathic pain and peripheral neuropathy. For the chronic pain in your legs, a medication like Gabapentin (brand name Neurontin) can be helpful. I recommend starting with a low dose of 300mg at night, and gradually increasing to 300mg three times a day as needed for pain relief. Additionally, for the symptoms of weakness and warmth in your legs, as well as any neuropathic pain in your upper limbs, a medication like Pregabalin (brand name Lyrica) can be beneficial. A starting dose of 75mg twice a day can be effective, with the option to increase to 150mg twice a day if needed. Hair loss in various parts of the body could be due to multiple factors, including nutritional deficiencies or hormonal imbalances. I recommend consulting with a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment options for your hair loss.

I'm having some issues with my hands; there's this strange tingling or jhanjhanahat that I can't shake off. It feels like my immunity isn't up to par lately, and I'm also feeling really cold all the time. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Postnasal drip or nasal discharge can be a concern. Possible causes: 1. _Allergies_: Seasonal or environmental allergies can trigger excess mucus production. 2. _Sinusitis_: Inflammation or infection of the sinuses can cause nasal discharge. 3. _Anatomical issues_: Deviated septum, nasal polyps, or other structural problems can contribute to nasal discharge. 4. _Infections_: Cold, flu, or other respiratory infections can cause nasal discharge. To address the issue: 1. _Consult an ENT specialist_: Rule out underlying conditions that may require medical attention. 2. _Use saline nasal sprays_: Help moisturize the nasal passages and thin out mucus. 3. _Try steam inhalation_: Ease congestion and promote mucus clearance. 4. _Maintain good hygiene_: Regularly clean your nose and surroundings to prevent infection. Monitor your symptoms and seek medical attention if: 1. _Discharge is yellow or green_: May indicate infection. 2. _Discharge is bloody_: Requires immediate medical attention. 3. _Symptoms worsen or persist_: Consult your doctor for further guidance.
