My mom's been dealing with this super sharp, electric-like pain in her right hand that kicks in every time she coughs. It seems to start at her elbows and then just shoots down to her wrists. She's just getting over pneumonia and has been coughing pretty hard. I'm really worried and wondering what might be causing this hand pain whenever she has these coughing fits. Could it be related to her recent illness or something else?

I'm a little worried because I've been experiencing these brief blackouts where I suddenly can't see anything for a few seconds, and then I feel extremely weak afterward. I went to an eye doctor, and they suggested I get a neuro check-up. Could this be something serious, and what might be causing these symptoms?

I had surgery on my left leg back in March 2017 and my NCS report shows CMAP is absent in the left tibial and peroneal nerves. There's also no sensory nerve action in the sural and superficial peroneal, plus F waves are absent in both tibial and peroneal. What does this mean and what should I do next?

neurologist opinion is advised.
