What Are the Treatment Options for Optic Nerve Injury?
Is there any treatment for optical nerve injury vision loss
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 17th Oct '24
The optic nerve is crucial for the eyes to send signals to the brain for clear vision. Blurred sight, color vision loss, and even blindness can occur. Causes include head trauma, inflammation, glaucoma, and other diseases. Sadly, damaged optic nerves can't fully heal. But treating root causes and eye care may stop further harm. Seeing an eye doctor regularly helps manage vision changes, and keeps eyes healthy.

Male | 22
Hand tremors refer to the involuntary shaking of hands. It may occur if you are anxious or stressed out sometimes. In other cases, it is associated with factors such as excessive caffeine intake or inadequate nutrition. You can overcome this problem by calming down, having enough rest, and eating well. However, if the condition persists, you need to seek help from a neurologist.

What to do in subdural hemorrhage
Male | 62
Subdural hemorrhage happens when blood collects between your brain and skull. This usually follows a serious head injury or fall. Symptoms include severe headaches, confusion, and difficulty walking. Affected individuals require hospital testing for proper diagnosis. Treatment options involve medication or surgery to remove pooled blood. Prompt medical attention prevents lasting brain damage. Such injuries must not be ignored, as complications may arise.

Hello sir my mother is having paralyzed stroke and she is having nerves problem also kindly update me is it possible to operate
Female | 62
A paralyzed stroke is a condition where the blood supply to a certain part of the brain is minimal. This may, consequently, lead to nerve complications that can result in paralysis. Performing surgery on the brain in the case of stroke-related issues is rarely the first line of treatment after a stroke. Rather, the physicians place more emphasis on rehabilitation therapy to restore the patient's ability to walk and do everyday activities.

Hello. I am a male about to marry a 23 y/o female who at the age of 19 was diagnosed with Focal Epilepsy Affecting Frontal Lobe. I am trying to see whether it is a good idea to marry and start a family with this girl. The problem is her head and eyes move to the right when she has an episode which is usually triggered by eye contact and nervousness. So her neurologist perscribed Lacosamide twice a day which she says has prevented her from having an episode in over a year, but I want to check with you if this is true/common? Also will her illness get worse later down the line especially when we start having kids? Will it spread to other parts of the brain and what will happen if that occurs? She says the side effects of the medicine is she gets drowsy and sleepy sometimes, how often does that last? Thank you.
Female | 23
While Lacosamide can effectively prevent epilepsy episodes, its side effects like drowsiness are common. It's advisable to consult with a neurologist regarding the long-term effects of epilepsy and its potential impact on family planning. Specialists like neurologists can provide personalized guidance based on individual health conditions.

I am 21 year old female and I have been feeling my legs and hands go numb quite often in a day. I have also started doing yoga recently if this concerns and 2-3 months back I got my blood tests done and found out vitamin B12 level to be low. Also this whole covidshield causing blood clots scare me.
Female | 21
Hey, it looks like your legs and hands are getting numb, which could mean your vitamin B12 levels are low. This happens when there isn’t enough B12 to keep your nerves functioning properly. Yoga is great but won’t do it all by itself. Make sure to eat foods like meat, fish and dairy that have lots of B12 in them. Talk to a doctor about checking out your levels of B12 if you haven’t already.

I just finish using my medication for Malaria but I still feel weak, nauseous and the headache triple
Female | 22
Feeling weak, nauseous, and getting headaches is normal after finishing malaria medication. Your body needs time to recover from the infection. Rest well. Drink lots of fluids. Eat healthy foods. It can take a while for your body to feel 100% again. If symptoms worsen or persist, consult your neurologist.

Sir I have had two foot foot drop for the last few years, let me know the solution
Male | 42
The best solution for foot drop is usually an AFO (ankle-foot orthosis) brace. This brace helps to keep the ankle in the correct position and supports the foot, allowing you to lift it more easily. Your doctor may also recommend physical therapy or other treatments, such as electrical stimulation or surgery, to help strengthen and improve the function of the muscles in your foot and ankle.

My mother aged 79 is on the following medication For morning - 1 tab levepsy 500, 1 tab calcuim and 1 tab metaprol 25 mg For night - 1 tab levepsy 500, 1 tab pregablin and 1 tab doxolin But by mistake today gave the night dose twice.... Will it effect her in any way....im worried
Female | 79
Accidentally taking two doses of her night medication could make her feel sleepy, unclear, or unbalanced. It's wise to watch over her and ensure she's alright. Remind her to relax and drink plenty of fluids. Should any odd signs appear, don't delay in seeking medical guidance. Most likely, she'll be okay but keep observing her condition for now.

I have a headache coming from inside of my head and it starting from left side then it radiate to back side of the head.. sometimes this pain is little and sometimes it is more. Even when I'm breathing the pain is happening. Why it is happening?
Male | 28
You may be having tension-type headaches. These feel like a tight band around your head. Stress, bad posture, or eye strain often cause them. The pain may move or spread. Try relaxing techniques to ease the headaches. Improve your posture and take breaks from screens. See a neurologist if they worsen or last longer. They can check further and suggest remedies.

A daytime sleep schedule not only helps a patient with fibromyalgia to get better but is also of paramount importance to them to avoid sleeping after midnight. Sleep can aggravate or diminish pain, tiredness, and even exacerbations. Adjusting the sleep schedule 3-4 hours before midnight might be a good way to augment sleep quality. Convince your mother to give sleep a priority so that she can not only reduce what she is experiencing but also have better overall health.

Recently my father diagnosed with diffused cerebral autrophy with chronic microangiopathic changes involving deep hemispheric white matter (fazekas Grade 2 white matter hyperintensities) Kindly suggest what to do ?
Male | 65
Currently there is no specific treatment for managing white matter lesions/hyperintensities. The goal is to treat the reason of the damage and cease the progression and worsening of the disease.
Depending on the reason of damage, the doctor will start you on blood pressure lowering or cholesterol lowering medicines.
In case you have a social habit such as smoking, then it is suggested to quit smoking at the earliest for preventing any further damage.
Consult a neurologist for further treatment.

Female | 66
A headache lasting for days could be a symptom of various reasons. It can be caused by stress, dehydration, or the lack of sleep. In some cases, it could be a signal of a more dangerous disease. You can try to drink a lot of water, relax in a dark room, and avoid light screens before sleeping. If the problem persists it is better to consult a neurologist for it.

Good day doctor Since childhood, I have always been pressing on my nerves and muscles throughout my body, and I can't control myself. It's like grinding teeth, but in my body, and it's voluntary. These are not spasms; I do them, but I can't stop them. When I try to stop myself, I feel like I'm going to explode. The issue was minor in childhood and significantly reduced during adolescence almost to the point of disappearing. However, over the past few years, the problem has worsened significantly. Currently, I'm squeezing my body's vertebrae, especially my neck, and I feel like it's twisting. I consulted a psychiatrist and neurologist who said there is no organic issue, just a bit of anxiety. I took medications for anxiety and stress, but there was no effect. Thank you very much for your time
Male | 34
The nature of your symptoms probably is involuntary muscle contractions or muscle spasms. It is necessary to have the condition assessed by a neurologist who specializes in movement disorders or a physiotherapist who will be able to look at your condition in person and guide you properly.

Female | 31
You might have an orthostatic headache. Standing up can cause brain fluid shifts, possibly leading to low blood pressure or dehydration. Make sure to stay hydrated, move slowly, and rest often. If the headache continues, see a neurologist.

Female | 55
It seems you might be dealing with Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) along with Myasthenia Gravis (MG). In this condition, the immune system attacks healthy tissues, leading to symptoms like muscle weakness, fatigue, and shortness of breath. While there is no miracle cure, treatment options can help manage the symptoms. With the right care and treatment, many people can still enjoy a good quality of life.

Paralysis occurs when the brain can't send signals to certain body parts, causing them to stop moving. This can be due to causes like a stroke or injury. Physical therapy can help improve movement. It's important to consult a neurologist for proper treatment.

The condition of a person can worsen due to having headaches, nausea, and being under pressure from having too much work to do. This type of symptoms may occur due to different things such as; lack of enough sleep, poor eating habits, or being overwhelmed by what is happening around them. Make sure you look after yourself. Get enough sleep and eat well.
