I've been dealing with hypertension and have been taking Olmzest 20 every day. Recently, I've been experiencing this persistent neck and shoulder pain, so I went to see a neurologist who prescribed Trigabantin 300 and Etoshine 120. I've been a computer operator for the past 15 years, which probably adds to the stress. I've already started Trigabantin 300 and it's been two days now. But I'm a little hesitant about starting Etoshine because I read about its potential side effects. Could you give me some advice on whether it's safe to take both medications and if the benefits outweigh the risks? I'm just looking for a second opinion to ease my mind.

I've been having lots of issues on the right side of my body. It's like every time there's something wrong, it's on that side. It's been stuff like pain, injuries, pimples, headaches, even abdominal pain, ankle twists, and foot aches. I'm getting worried and just can't figure out why it's always the right side. What do you think could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

I've been dealing with essential tremor and anxiety for the last 2 years along with constant head shaking. The medications I'm taking don't seem to help at all. Are there any short-term treatments or surgical options available for this condition and what would the approximate cost be

For persistent, medication-resistant essential tremor with head shaking and anxiety, consider short-term treatments like botulinum toxin injections or anxiety-reducing medications like benzodiazepines. Surgical options include deep brain stimulation (DBS) and focused ultrasound thalamotomy. The cost of these treatments varies widely, but DBS is generally in the range of $50,000 to $150,000.

Can Chiari malformation heal on its own without surgery or are there any meditation techniques that might help with symptoms

Chiari malformation doesn't typically heal on its own without surgery, especially if symptoms are present. While some individuals with mild or no symptoms might only require monitoring, surgery is generally recommended when symptoms are present to relieve pressure on the cerebellum and spinal cord. While surgery is the primary treatment, meditation techniques can be helpful for managing symptoms and improving quality of life
