Question 1

Query: I've been dealing with this nerve-pulling sensation in my legs, mainly my right thigh, and hip pain for over a year now. I've been taking Gabapin NT since it started and mixed it with a couple of other medications like Rejunex OD, Homin, and Pregabalin with Mecobalamin at different times. Recently, I've been also using Shelcal and Zincovit. I'm curious if there might be something else I can do about this or if there's a reason why it's not getting any better with the current treatment. What do you think?

Sudden Lower Back Pain: Emergency Guidance_

Given the sudden onset of severe lower back pain, radiating to your legs, and difficulty moving, it's essential to prioritize your health. Since it's been 2 hours, please consider the following steps:

*Immediate Action*

1. *Call emergency services or seek immediate medical attention*: Visit the emergency room or urgent care if you haven't already.
2. *Rest and immobilize*: Avoid moving or bending, as this can exacerbate the injury.
3. *Apply ice (optional)*: If you're unable to seek medical attention immediately, apply ice to the affected area for 15-20 minutes to help reduce pain and inflammation.

*Potential Causes*

1. *Herniated disk*: Sudden bending or lifting can cause a disk herniation, leading to pain and numbness in the legs.
2. *Muscle strain*: Overstretching or tearing of muscles in the lower back can cause severe pain and limited mobility.
3. *Other possible causes*: Kidney stones, spinal stenosis, or other underlying conditions may also contribute to your symptoms.

*Medical Attention*

A medical professional will assess your condition and provide a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Be prepared to provide detailed information about your symptoms, medical history, and any previous injuries or conditions.

Question 2

I'm really worried because he's been having these severe headaches, almost like migraines, for the past 2 to 3 years. They often come with vomiting too. Could you suggest any medication that might help or recommend some tests we should consider? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Accepted Answer

Symptoms are indicative of migraine. You should visit a physician to determine the type of migraine. Only then can the appropriate medication be prescribed. Commonly used medication include, Naxdom (Naproxen + Domperidone), Sumatriptan, Celecoxib etc.

Question 3

I'm a bit worried because my left pinky finger keeps twitching. It started about a week ago, and while there's no pain, it bothers me when I'm working on the computer. After doing some research, I read that twitching of the left pinky finger was one of the symptoms linked to Parkinson's, specifically mentioned with Michael J. Fox. Should I be concerned about Parkinson's, or could it be something else?

Accepted Answer

In your case, since there is no pain or other issues, it may be related to repetitive strain from working on the computer. I recommend trying to take breaks and stretch your fingers regularly. Additionally, you can take a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) 5mg at night to help with the twitching. If the twitching persists or worsens, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

Why do I forget things so quickly?

Severe stress, depression, a vitamin B-12 deficiency, insufficient sleep, some prescription drugs and infections can all play a role.
