I have a T11 spinal cord injury from a gunshot wound that left me paralyzed waist down. I have researched and found stem cell therapy that might help but there are so many clinics. I need help to find the right clinic to help me walk again and regain my bladder bowel control. Please advise. Thank you kindly.

You can check this article for more information - Stem cell for Spinal Cord Injury. You should also consult a neurologist or neurosurgeon for advice on stem cell therapy for your spinal cord injury. However, stem cell therapy is still an experimental treatment and its effectiveness is not yet fully established.

I am sangeetha 43 yrs old from Chennai I have high bp and under active thyroid so taking pills of both. While laying or walking feel unbalanced weakness dizziness vertigo and while laying look body jump
Female | 53
You might feel off-balance, dizzy, like everything moves. That's vertigo. The inner ear may cause it - problems like infection or ear crystals. Since you have high blood pressure and thyroid troubles, see a neurologist. They'll find why you're unbalanced. Maybe meds need adjusting, or exercises can help your balance. Be careful not to fall. Avoid risky things until they improve.

Male | 28
The point to notice is that the symptoms may return even if the surgery is successful. It is strongly recommended that you contact your neurosurgeon's office or orthopedic spine clinic to uncover the title source of your bilateral hand symptoms.

I have pain in neck ,heavy the head and nerves pain. Where we can take appointment.
Male | 43
Neck discomfort, a heavy sensation in your head, and nerve-related pain are concerning symptoms. They may arise from stress, improper posture, or abrupt movement. Relax your neck muscles, maintain good posture, and apply warmth to alleviate the pain. However, if these issues persist, you can book an appointment with an experienced neurologist for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Male | 46
Your symptoms seem concerning. Left-side headaches, leg tingling, vision troubles - these could link to nerve issues. That spine disk bulge is likely contributing too. Please see a neurologist soon for a proper diagnosis and care plan.

Left side peralisis mind
महिला | 7
One way of paralysis, which is hemiplegia, is the one where a person experiences a lack of movement and sensation on the left side of the body. It can be caused by a stroke, brain injury, or other problems related to the brain. Although this option may be available, it may be best to consult a neurologist who specializes in the treatment of such disorders.

I've been suffering from chronic headaches for nearly 10 years, and I've been taking Vasograin daily to manage the pain. If I don't take the medicine, the headache starts again, and it happens every day.Why is it happening ?
Female | 38
You are possibly having a kind of headache referred to as a "medication overuse headache." The condition may arise if you are too dependent on medications such as Vasograin which brings about pain relief. The medicine is responsible for daily headaches that return if not taken. The method is to use Vasograin less frequently and under medical supervision. This way, the cycle of overuse will be interrupted, and the treatment of your headaches will be more efficient.

I'm having tingling and burning sensation in my right wrist and hand and i can't feel anything at all and I need a diagnosis
Female | 27
You could have carpal tunnel syndrome. It occurs when a nerve in your wrist gets compressed. Symptoms include tingling, burning, numbness. Repeatedly using your hand, like typing extensively, may cause it. Try resting your hand, wearing a brace, and doing hand exercises. If it persists, consult an orhopedist.

Hello, I was wondering if I should schedule a doctor's visit. I had hit the top right side of my head 2 days ago and again today on my right side with the door on accident. I have been feeling nauseous, slight blurry vision, really bad headache on my right side and fatigue. Thank you!
Female | 28
Two recent bumps to your head have caused some unpleasant symptoms: nausea, blurry vision, a headache on the right side, and tiredness. These could be signs of a possible concussion, which happens when the brain shakes from an impact. If your symptoms worsen or continue, please see a neurologist to be safe.

I feel liquid feeling in my head and i feel muscle cracking in my head when i move my head
Male | 37
If this is the case, it could be because of some problems with the muscles or joints around your neck. Such feelings are sometimes brought about by tightness or strain in a person’s neck. You can check whether this helps by doing light stretches for the neck and exercises. If they don’t go away or get worse after doing so then I’d recommend seeing a neurologist who will give you the right diagnosis on what needs to be done next.

Actually after sneezing after few seconds I am unable to stand and my body is not responding and I am not able to move my hands and legs.
Male | 20
You might have something we call a vasovagal syncope. Some of your blood flow may change for a short time when you sneeze this is what causes the feeling of faintness and may interfere with your ability to move your hands and legs for a while. Try sitting down or lying if you feel like sneezing. Also, make sure to drink enough water and have sufficient rest always. If it happens frequently or becomes more severe, see a doctor.

I have vertigo problem .I done some m r i lot's of treatment but no results also I done physiotherapy but no results .with vertigo i hav ear ringing problem.i done hrct scan but it's normal.
Male | 28
When you have vertigo, you may feel like everything is spinning around you; however, this can be very frustrating if accompanied by tinnitus. These two symptoms have been known to persist even after an MRI scan or physical therapy has been done. It’s a good thing that your HRCT scan was normal. In this situation, I would advise you to see an ENT specialist so they can find out more about what might be causing them internally and from outside sources like infections, etc.

Now it's mctd with myasthenia gravis had been diagnosed. Mi 2 a and 2b also positive. RNP/sm positive. RP155 POSITIVE. iam on prednisone and pyridostigmine now. Is this ok or any other medicine should be taken. CPK is 2272
Female | 55
You’re managing a complex situation with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and myasthenia gravis. Your test results show positive markers, which means your immune system is attacking your healthy tissues. The combination of prednisone and pyridostigmine is helping control your symptoms. Since your CPK levels are high, it might be due to muscle damage. Your doctor may consider adjusting your medications or adding new ones to address inflammation and muscle weakness. It’s important to stay in close contact with your neurologist for regular check-ups and to discuss any new symptoms or issues.

Haii doc, Thanks in advance for answering my questions. Doc my problem is something fishy like I feel unstable and dizzy while hearing load sounds noise and also in closed rooms and sometimes due to horns of buses. I use to get out of the place to make myself relax before I get dizzy on floor. Could you help me regarding this
Male | 23
You may be experiencing noise-induced dizziness, wherein loud sounds or certain surroundings make you feel off-balance or dizzy. It can occur as a result of the sensitivity of your inner ear. It is perfectly normal to be anxious in such situations. Try the earplugs in the noisy areas and take short breaks in the quieter spots. If the issue remains, it is necessary to talk with a neurologist for more information in case of a further problem.

Male | 17
The left hand pain and chest twitches might indicate thoracic outlet syndrome. This condition arises when neck and chest nerves or blood vessels face pressure. Symptoms like arm and hand pain, numbness, and tingling can occur. Seeing a neurologist for examination and potential treatment to alleviate symptoms is advisable.

Good evening. I'm 21 years old, I have been having the issue of feeling numbness to my pinky finger of my right hand, which has been going on for months now, it happens once in two weeks, sometimes weekly and I might not feel it in a month. Whenever this happens I can actually move the other fingers freely, but sometimes it affects the finger close to it, I have difficulty opening my palm, I will have to place my hand somewhere to open the palm. Please what can I do?
Male | 21
The condition which causes the cubital tunnel syndrome is the result of the ulnar nerve being compressed or irritated. The symptoms are found in feeling pins and needles, weakness, and difficulty in flexing the affected finger which harbors some doubts. One remedy can be found in the avoidance of cubital tunnel exacerbating sports and using a night splint to keep the arm straight. Despite that, following the aforementioned measures, if the symptoms remain persistent then attaining further advice from a neurologist will be sufficient.

Random numbness in your body can feel quite worrying. Causes include circulation issues, compressed nerves, or anxiety. For prevention, eat nutritious foods, exercise regularly, and manage stress levels. However, if you are experiencing persistent numbness, visit a neurologist to identify the underlying reason and receive proper treatment.
