View allI had IPCL eye surgery two months ago and ever since then, I get a one-sided headache whenever I'm exposed to outside air. Taking something like Sinarest gives me relief for half a day, but then the headache comes back. I mentioned this to my doctor at Vasan Eye Care Hospital, but nothing helped. It's really affecting my work and making me frustrated what could be causing this?
eye opinion is advised.

I'm suddenly feeling a shocking pain in my right leg, almost like electric shocks, and it hurts so much that I can't walk. It feels kind of like being paralyzed. What could be happening, and what should I do?
The sudden onset of severe electric shock-like sensations, aching, and paralysis in your right leg, making it difficult to walk, could indicate a neurological emergency, such as a herniated disk, spinal cord compression, peripheral neuropathy, or even a stroke; seek immediate medical attention at the emergency room

I'm really worried because my mom started taking Martifur, just like her doctor said, but now she's experiencing a pretty bad burning sensation and her legs, along with the rest of her body, feel shaky and weak. Is this something we should be concerned about, or is it a normal side effect?
The severe burning sensation, shaky and weak legs, and body weakness your mother is experiencing while taking Martifur (a urinary tract antiseptic) are not typical side effects
