Why is my left shin numb and cold?

You could probably have a situation that is called peripheral neuropathy, something that has to do with the nerves that send signals to your leg and possibly there is a problem with that. This can be the reason why you feel the numbing sensation and the difference in temperature between your shins. It's best to have a neurologist check this out to determine the cause and talk about treatment options.

A Year with Dyskinesia and Vertigo: Still Searching for Answers

It sounds like you're experiencing a complex neurological condition that may not be fully addressed by your current treatment plan. Despite being diagnosed with dyskinesia and peripheral vertigo, your ongoing symptoms—such as tremors, stiffness, dizziness, breathing difficulty, and skin reactions—suggest that there may be underlying or overlapping issues that haven’t been thoroughly evaluated. It's critical to seek a second opinion from a neurologist (preferably one specializing in movement disorders) and possibly consult a multidisciplinary team that includes a rheumatologist and a dermatologist.

TMJ on Left Side with Full-Body Numbness: What’s the Real Cause?

While TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues can cause facial pain, jaw stiffness, and sometimes radiating discomfort to the neck and head, numbness and tingling from head to toe on one side suggest involvement beyond just TMJ.

Since your brain CT and MRI are normal, the issue may lie in the nerves outside the brain, possibly from the cervical spine (neck area) or peripheral nerves. Sometimes, nerve compression, postural imbalances, or even functional neurological disorders can present like this.

You should consult a neurologist and also, a maxillofacial specialist or physiotherapist familiar with TMJ can help manage jaw-related symptoms.

Chronic Left-Sided Numbness and Nerve Pulling: What Could Be the Cause?

It sounds like you're experiencing long-term nerve-related symptoms despite normal MRI and CT scans. This could be due to peripheral nerve issues, muscle imbalances, postural problems, or even central sensitization—where the nervous system becomes overly reactive over time.

Acupuncture giving some relief suggests the issue might be functional or nerve-related rather than structural.
I recommend consulting a neurologist as issues in the cervical or lumbar spine can also cause these symptoms.

Meanwhile, continue gentle physical therapy, maintain hydration, and avoid long periods in one position.

Why Do I Have Chest Pain And Headaches?

Experiencing discomfort in the chest, along with numbness in a foot and recurring headaches, can be concerning. These symptoms may arise from various causes, including anxiety, muscle tension, or circulation issues. It’s essential to monitor how you feel and consider lifestyle factors like stress and hydration. I recommend practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, to help ease your discomfort. However, it’s crucial to consult a neurologist to assess your symptoms further and rule out any serious conditions.

Why do my legs hurt after taking risperidone?

Experiencing discomfort in your legs and feet after standing briefly can result from various factors, including medication side effects or circulation issues. Both risperidone and trihexyphenidyl may contribute to muscle stiffness or discomfort. It's important to stay active within your comfort level and consider gentle stretching exercises to improve flexibility and circulation. However, I strongly encourage you to discuss these symptoms with your neurologist. They can evaluate your situation, possibly adjusting your treatment if necessary.

Why am I experiencing subliminal side effects suddenly?

You might feel sick, have sight issues, or have a hard time thinking/ have dizziness. These might be stress, panic, or even changes in your everyday activities. To begin with, I would suggest that you avoid subliminals and take care of yourself by drinking enough water and resting properly. Warm-up workouts or meditation skills can be of some help in this case. Yet, in case of any persistent or worsening of the symptoms mentioned above, consult a neurologist for individualized treatment.

Why do I have severe pain, weakness, and swelling?

It's important to take your symptoms seriously. Severe pain on one side, weakness in your hands, and swelling can indicate several underlying issues, potentially involving nerves or circulation. This may stem from conditions like herniated discs, inflammation, or even vascular concerns. Please prioritize your health by scheduling an appointment with a neurologist who can conduct a thorough evaluation and recommend appropriate tests. They can develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses your discomfort effectively.

What happens if I ingested 200mg of cyclobenzaprine?

Cyclobenzaprine doses above the recommended range can lead to symptoms like drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, or confusion. It's essential to stay hydrated and rest. While there is no specific antidote, monitoring for worsening symptoms is key. If you experience severe effects, such as difficulty breathing or an irregular heartbeat, seek medical assistance immediately. It's always wise to consult a neurologist in cases of unintentional overconsumption for tailored advice and potential supportive treatment.

Why am I experiencing dizziness and headaches while nursing?

It's understandable to feel concerned about experiencing dizziness, especially while caring for a little one. Your symptoms may be linked to factors such as dehydration, low blood pressure, or tension headaches exacerbated by migraines. Ensuring you are well-hydrated, resting adequately, and maintaining a balanced diet can help alleviate some discomfort. However, since these symptoms can have various causes, I recommend consulting a gynecologist. They can provide a thorough assessment and tailored advice to ensure your well-being and that of your baby.

Could my dizziness and headache be related to migraines?

Experiencing dizziness alongside headache can be concerning, especially while caring for a child. This issue may stem from various factors, including dehydration, low blood pressure, or even tension linked to your migraine history. It's important to stay hydrated, ensure you eat balanced meals, and take regular breaks when standing or moving. However, as these symptoms persist, I strongly encourage you to consult a neurologist. They can perform a thorough evaluation and offer personalized advice to address your situation effectively.

Why am I hallucinating, feeling cold, and shaking?

Feeling cold and experiencing tremors can often relate to anxiety, fever, or other health conditions. These sensations might also emerge during stress or when your body is reacting to an illness. It’s crucial to keep warm and stay hydrated. Engaging in calming activities, like deep breathing or gentle stretching, may help ease symptoms. However, if these feelings persist or worsen, seeking advice from a neurologist is very important. They can provide a comprehensive evaluation to determine the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment.
