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 got hit pretty hard on the left side of my head, right by my ear, and I've had a lot of pain. It even started bleeding, and it's still going on. The pain's not as bad now, but I'm feeling really dizzy when I'm just doing normal stuff. Is this something I should be really worried about? What should I do next?

The severe pain, bleeding, and dizziness after a heavy slap on the head near the ear suggest a possible temporal bone fracture, middle ear injury, or inner ear damage; the persistent bleeding from the ear is a concerning symptom that requires immediate medical attention; seek emergency care from an ENT specialist or a neurosurgeon to evaluate and manage potential complications, such as a cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leak, meningitis, or hearing loss.

I'm 26 and I've been dealing with some health issues that have me worried. My blood pressure has been pretty highranging from 175110 to 15589and I've got this persistent headache on the upper part of my head, around the skull area. Even though my lipid profile came back normal, the Venogram MRI showed hypoplastic left transverse and sigmoid sinuses. I'm currently on medication just for the high BP because my doctor is out of town and I'm not sure what my next steps should be. Could my headache be connected to the high blood pressure somehow?

Ovulation typically occurs 24-36 hours after an HCG trigger shot. However, some women may ovulate earlier, within 12-24 hours. Given your symptoms and the timing of the HCG shot, it's possible that you may have ovulated earlier than expected. To maximize the chances of successful IUI, consider the following options: 1. Proceed with IUI as scheduled, as the timing may still be optimal. 2. Inform your doctor about the early ovulation symptoms, and they may adjust the IUI timing or recommend additional interventions.
