My wife has been dealing with TB Meningitis for the last two years. She completed the TB medication course, but she's still struggling with a lot of neural and back pain. An MRI showed signs of myelitis and some changes in her spinal cord, which has us really concerned. The doctors say that while the TB bacteria is gone, the damage might be beyond repair and her chances of recovery are slim at best. They've recommended physiotherapy and visiting pain management centers for her current pain. For about a year and a half, shes been on Gabapin 300 and Gabantip AT. Can you suggest any pain management centers, or maybe share your thoughts on any potential for recovery?

I'm looking at my blood work results and I'm curious about my white blood cell count, which is 13.3, and my neutrophils are at 75.4 with lymphocytes at 17.8. I don't have any symptoms, but I've been taking Topamax for my headaches. Should I be worried about these numbers?

I've been feeling this really weird cold sensation in my right shoulder since last night, like there's a very cold AC blowing right on it. This happened after I twisted myself a bit while trying to adjust my car seat's headrest, which was a bit awkward, and then I sat through a 2-hour movie. My shoulder doesnt hurt, and I can move my arm perfectly fine without any redness or swelling, but this cold feeling is just odd. What could be going on here?

It could be a muscular spasm. as of now, you can apply a diclogel over the area and take a tablet zerodol TH8 twice a day after food for 2 days. it should reduce, if it doesn't, then you need to consult a orthopaedician in person for further evaluation and management.
