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 have this weird sensation of water in my head and constant tightness, along with sensory OCD.

And is this condition even curable?

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 experiencing these weird vibration-like shock waves that go from my left shoulder to my left hand. It's been happening on and off for about a month now. Im a bit concerned and curious about what might be causing it. Any ideas on what could be going on?

I recommend taking Tab Pregabalin 75mg once daily at night for relief. Additionally, you can apply Volini gel locally on the affected area for symptomatic relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a neurologist for further evaluation and management.
