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 really struggling with something that's been bothering me a lot. It's like my mind and mouth just aren't in sync, and I can't seem to get my thoughts into words. I find myself stuttering and speaking really fast, which makes my speech unclear. Plus, the tone and accent of my speech seem off, and I have trouble pronouncing words within sentences. It's getting to the point where people can't understand me easily. Can you offer some advice or guidance on what might be causing this and what I can do about it?

I've been experiencing frequent headaches, especially after traveling to my university or another workplace. It's becoming a real concern for me. Could there be a specific reason for this recurring issue, and what can I do to manage or prevent these headaches?

Its likely that your headaches are triggered by factors related to stress, posture, environmental changes, or sleep deprivation associated with your travel and work schedule. Making some simple adjustments to your hydration, posture, stress management, and sleep can help alleviate these headaches. If they persist or worsen, its best to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions.

I'm really struggling with cervical spondylosis and loss of cervical lordosis. My MRI report indicates some serious stuff like a C5-C6 disc with an annular fissure and diffuse posterior bulge, and it's even got central herniation pressing on my spinal cord and affecting both neural foramina. There's this hyperintense signal on the left side of my spinal cord suggesting myomalacia. Also, the C6-C7 disc has its own issues with another fissure and bulge, plus a right paracentral herniation affecting my spinal cord and right C7 nerve, again encroaching on both neural foramina. With all this, I get this annoying tingling in my legs and nerve pain in one of my right-hand fingers. Sitting for long periods just makes my entire spine hurt. I'm curious if there's any Ayurvedic treatment out there that could completely cure this. Also, would I be able to handle any job with my condition? I've tried physiotherapy treatments like IFT, ultra cervical traction, and steam for months, which seemed to help for a while. But the pain is back. Should I keep doing the same physiotherapy again, or is there anything else you'd recommend?
