View allI've had a fracture in my right hand, and as a result, my radial nerve got damaged. Now my wrist has dropped, and I can't lift my fingers anymore. I'm currently going through physiotherapy, but I'm not seeing much improvement. What could be going wrong, and is there anything else I should be doing to help with the recovery?
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulty you're experiencing with your radial nerve injury. It's common to see slow progress with nerve recovery, but consistency with physiotherapy is key. If you're not noticing significant improvement, it might be helpful to reassess your treatment plan with your healthcare provider to explore additional options.

After a serious brain and left side face surgery from an accident two months ago, I'm still on a liquid diet and can't open my mouth fully. What could be causing this?
After brain and facial surgery, limited mouth opening and difficulties swallowing (dysphagia) can result from several factors, including muscle spasms (trismus), nerve damage, or scar tissue formation. These issues can impact your ability to eat solid foods and could require a period of recovery and therapy.

I'm experiencing dizziness for the past 4 weeks. My ENT doctor prescribed STABLANZ PV and VERTIGON tablets, which help a lot when I take them. But when I stop, the dizziness and spinning in my head come right back. Does this sound like vertigo to you, or could it be something else? Also, any advice on how to get rid of this dizziness, or if there's anyone else I should consult?
