Question 1

I've noticed this weird dent at the top of my skull, like where a baby's soft spot would be, and I'm not sure how long it's been there. It's a little tender if I press on it, but not really painful. I haven't had any serious head injuries, just the usual bumps. Do you think this is something that could just develop over time, or should I be worried about it?

Accepted Answer

A soft spot in the skull or fontanelle is a normal feature for babies, but unusual for adults. If you are experiencing tenderness in that area, it may be worth getting it checked by a healthcare professional.

Question 2

My father is 62 and has trouble walking his leg below the knee goes numb, and he has to stop for 10-12 minutes before he can walk again. A neurosurgeon recommended surgery, but he doesn't want to go through with it. He's been taking Neurobin Forte and finds it helpful, but is there a more effective tablet or medicine that can manage his pain and symptoms without surgery? The MRI report shows some issues, but he's hesitant about an operation. What else can we try?

Accepted Answer

It's understandable that your father is hesitant about surgery. While Neurobin Forte might offer some relief, other medications and therapies may be explored to manage his symptoms without surgery. Focusing on pain management, improving blood flow, and managing nerve compression, with a multi-pronged approach, can be helpful.

Question 3

I'm really worried about my dad. He had a paralysis attack three years ago, and it's been tough since then. He's got 34 tiny blood clots in his brain, kidney issues, and arthritis. We've seen so many doctors and even had to put him on a ventilator twice. He's mostly bedridden now, and it seems like the paralysis has affected his tongue and mouth too. Sometimes he can open his mouth for food, and other times we have to do it for him. We've been to different hospitals, but we're still struggling to find a solution. Do you know what else we could try or maybe recommend hospitals with blood clot removing tech? Any advice would be really appreciated.
