View allI'm dealing with this recurring swelling and pain near my occipital area, and I've been seeing a doctor for a while now, but there's still no clear diagnosis. Right now, I'm on some tablets they prescribed, but the relief is just temporary, and the swelling seems to pop up all the time. Could you suggest any other approaches or tests that might help pinpoint the problem and get it treated effectively?

I've been having full body tingling, muscle spasms, and neck and back pain that radiates. I'm currently taking neugaba 150 and dulot 30 but get really bad sweating and anxiety if I miss a dose. Should I see a surgeon or stick with medication management for this? Worried about being dependent on these meds long-term.

I'm really worried because I've been having this warm feeling on the left side of my brain for the past few weeks. Sometimes it even affects my face and the area behind my ear. But today, I experienced a sharp pain in my head along with the warm sensation. I'm not sure what's going on. I'm also caring for my 11-month-old baby, and I need to feel well to take care of her. Can you please help me figure out what this might be?
