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 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.

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been experiencing this light dizziness when I walk, especially in the evenings or when I'm under a little stress. My eyes and head also feel really heavy during these times, and it makes me so anxious that I might actually fall. What do you think could be causing this?

It sounds like you might be experiencing symptoms of lightheadedness and fatigue, which can be triggered by stress or certain times of the day. It's important to get a proper evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions such as low blood pressure, anemia, or anxiety. Please consider consulting a healthcare provider for further assessment and guidance.

Got a severe headache and my CT scan showed a 32mm calcified granuloma in the left frontal lobe. How serious is this and do I need surgery for it?

A calcified granuloma, especially if it's 32mm in size and in the frontal lobe, is generally not life-threatening, but it's crucial to understand the potential implications and get a proper medical evaluation. Calcified granulomas are usually benign and do not require treatment unless they are causing symptoms or are a sign of an underlying condition. Surgery is usually not necessary for a calcified granuloma itself
