I'm dealing with a burning sensation all over my body and it feels like nerve pain, with pins and needles, and sometimes it feels like a heat wave inside. I've also got nerve pain in my jaw. I've been told I might have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome by one doctor in NZ, and a neurologist mentioned Central Pain Syndrome. I'm really concerned and a bit confused about these diagnoses. Could you explain what they mean and how they differ? Also, what can I do to manage or reduce these symptoms?

Approximately 80% of patients with CRPS type I achieve complete, spontaneous relief of signs and symptoms within 18 months; however, no diagnostic criteria have been shown to predict which patients will fall into this category. Some of the patients whose symptoms do not resolve spontaneously may still be cured by treatment. Of the patients who develop refractory CRPS type I, 50-80% have disability secondary to pain andor a limited range of motion. The main disabilities are limitations in their activities of daily living (ADL).

I've been dealing with some issues after testing positive for COVID-19 back in September. Initially, I only lost my taste and smell, and while I did test negative after two weeks, I'm still having trouble. It's been over a month now, and although my sense of taste is slowly coming back, it's nowhere near normal. Plus, I keep getting headaches. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and how to recover fully?

That needs further evaluation,visit neurophysician for the same and appropriate management

I've been diagnosed with disc bulging and dessication at L4L5 and L5S1 with central protrusion and annular tear causing canal and foraminal narrowing. The report says it's impinging on nerve roots, especially at L4L5, with canal dimensions around 9.9 mm and 10.8 mm. Surgery isn't an option for us right now, but I'm worried about managing the pain and symptoms, especially since we'll be traveling soon. What can we do to ease discomfort or prevent further issues while we're away? Any specific precautions we should take during the trip?

My mom's been dealing with a migraine for over 8 hours now, and we're worried. She tried Fluner D twice but it hasn't helped at all. I'm wondering if giving her Crocin 650 or Disprin might be more effective. Which one do you think would work better? Any suggestion would be really appreciated.

If your mother has been experiencing a migraine for over 8 hours and Fluner D hasn't helped, it's better to try a painkiller like Crocin 650, as it's typically effective for headaches. Disprin (aspirin) may also work, but it could irritate the stomach. If her symptoms persist, it would be wise to consult a doctor for further evaluation.
