Question 1

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 2

I'm experiencing some twitching in my right eye and it's been happening for about a week now. Should I be concerned or is it okay to just ignore it? I'm really curious about what could be causing this, so any insight you could give would be helpful.

Accepted Answer

Eye twitching, also known as myokymia, can be caused by various factors such as stress, fatigue, caffeine intake, or eye strain. In most cases, it is benign and resolves on its own. However, if the twitching persists for more than a week or is accompanied by other symptoms such as redness, pain, or vision changes, it is advisable to seek medical attention. To help alleviate the eye twitching, you can try using lubricating eye drops and reducing your caffeine intake. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Botox injections to help with severe or persistent eye twitching. If the eye twitching continues or worsens, please consult with an ophthalmologist for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I've been having this tingling sensation in my hands, feet, and all over my body. A neurologist recommended vitamins B12 and others, but the issue hasn't gone away. I've been masturbating about 5 times a week for the past 8 years. Do you think that could be causing it? What should I do?

Accepted Answer

It may be due to nerve compression in cervical spine or anywhere in shoulder side because of poor posture...
You can take physiotherapy for nerve entrapment and correct posture exercises.
Masterbation is not a cause for this problem.

I'm really worried about whether masturbation could be causing or making my nerve issues, heart palpitations, and anxiety worse. Is that a possibility? And if so, is there any way to reverse those effects?
