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'm a bit confused about the vitamin prescription I got for my nerve issues. The doctor said to take it once a day for two weeks, but didn't specify the strength. Should I be looking for something like 100mg? Any clues on what I should do?

I've been suffering from a bulging disc for the past few years but only got my MRI and CT scan reports yesterday. Is it possible to treat this without surgery? I'm really worried and feeling depressed are there any effective Ayurvedic or homeopathic treatments that could help?

I've been having these weird episodes where I stand up and suddenly feel really dizzy and lightheaded. My vision goes a bit blurry, and I lose my balance to the point where I almost fall over. It's pretty scary. What could be causing this? Is it something I should be worried about?

That could be Postural Hypotension, don't change your posture quickly,make it slow,have balance, consume balanced diet and maintain healthy lifestyle
