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).

View allMy niece has been experiencing moments where she blacks out for a second or two every now and then. It happens really randomly and even during her sleep. She almost collapses for a brief moment and then regains control. She has no idea when it'll happen next, and we're really worried about it. What kind of specialist should we see for this? Could this be a sign of something more serious in the future?
Your niece's symptoms sound like they could be related to fainting or syncope, which is a brief loss of consciousness caused by a temporary decrease in blood flow to the brain. Given the random nature of the blackouts, it's essential to consult a specialist to rule out any underlying conditions. I'd recommend visiting a pediatric cardiologist, as they specialize in heart problems in children, which could be a potential cause. Additionally, a pediatric neurologist might also be helpful in case the issue is related to the nervous system. While most cases of fainting are harmless, it's always better to be safe than sorry, especially since your niece is experiencing these episodes randomly and even during sleep.

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?
To manage pain and discomfort from disc bulging, dessication, and annular tear at L4-L5 and L5-S1 while traveling, focus on conservative measures, including pain relief, physical therapy exercises, and support while traveling
