I've been feeling some weird things lately, and I'm a bit worried. Last night, my sister said I was experiencing jerks in my sleep. Today, I'm noticing that parts of my body seem to move involuntarily when I'm trying to fall asleep. Plus, I've barely slept more than 5 hours a night this past week. Is this something I should be concerned about? Could it be serious?

Query: I've been dealing with this nerve-pulling sensation in my legs, mainly my right thigh, and hip pain for over a year now. I've been taking Gabapin NT since it started and mixed it with a couple of other medications like Rejunex OD, Homin, and Pregabalin with Mecobalamin at different times. Recently, I've been also using Shelcal and Zincovit. I'm curious if there might be something else I can do about this or if there's a reason why it's not getting any better with the current treatment. What do you think?

Sudden Lower Back Pain: Emergency Guidance_ Given the sudden onset of severe lower back pain, radiating to your legs, and difficulty moving, it's essential to prioritize your health. Since it's been 2 hours, please consider the following steps: *Immediate Action* 1. *Call emergency services or seek immediate medical attention*: Visit the emergency room or urgent care if you haven't already. 2. *Rest and immobilize*: Avoid moving or bending, as this can exacerbate the injury. 3. *Apply ice (optional)*: If you're unable to seek medical attention immediately, apply ice to the affected area for 15-20 minutes to help reduce pain and inflammation. *Potential Causes* 1. *Herniated disk*: Sudden bending or lifting can cause a disk herniation, leading to pain and numbness in the legs. 2. *Muscle strain*: Overstretching or tearing of muscles in the lower back can cause severe pain and limited mobility. 3. *Other possible causes*: Kidney stones, spinal stenosis, or other underlying conditions may also contribute to your symptoms. *Medical Attention* A medical professional will assess your condition and provide a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Be prepared to provide detailed information about your symptoms, medical history, and any previous injuries or conditions.

I've noticed that every time I try to stand on one leg with my eyes closed, I lose my balance. Should I be worried about a nervous disorder? Everything's fine when both legs are on the ground or if I have my eyes open standing on one leg. Plus, I'm having a tough time concentrating and remembering things, like names of old friends and terms from books, which started about a year ago. Could these be related?
