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 genuinely worried about my mom. Shes been feeling this creepy crawling sensation under her skin, like ants biting her, and it's been happening several times throughout the day. It's mostly in the upper part of her body but seems to be spreading. This has been going on for over a month, and she's tried allergy meds like Atarax and Candiforce, but nothing's helping. And shes also diabetic, which adds to my concerns. Im not sure which specialist we should consult. Any guidance would be really appreciated.

I got hit on the head a few days back, and now I've been getting dizzy spells and headaches. There's a dent where I got hit, and my fingertip fits right into it. It's really tender. Should I be worried about this?

-It sounds like you might have a contusion or minor skull fracture, especially with the tenderness and dent. It's important to get checked by a doctor to rule out any serious injury, especially if you're experiencing dizziness and headaches. Better to be

I've been having this tightness on the right side of my chest, and when I press on that spot, it gives me some relief, but then it just starts back up again. It's leading to some pain near my left chest too. I've had my heart checked and all the tests are normal, so now I'm wondering if this could be a nerve or muscle issue. Could you suggest any tests I should look into?
