View allI've been experiencing this weird thing where if I shake my head really hard, I feel this sharp pain on the left side. It's strange because it doesn't happen any other time, just when I do this. Should I be worried about it? Any idea what could be causing this?
That could be Sinusitis,or muscle pain, no need to worry, visit General physician for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm going through treatment for Abdominal TB and since April 2016, my liver got affected too and I was close to having jaundice. My doctor switched up some meds, and now I'm on a daily streptomycin injection plan for 60 days. I'm on injection number 33, but lately, I've been feeling super dizzy all the time and find it hard to maintain my balance while walking. At first, I thought it might just be weakness, especially since I returned to work in mid-June, but when it persisted for 34 days, I saw my doctor again. He thinks it's Vertigo and gave me some medicine, but it's been 2.5 weeks and there's no sign of improvement. I even checked in with an ENT and the cochlear and audiometric tests turned out normal. I'm really getting anxious about this dizziness and imbalance. Do you think this can be cured, and should I be seeing a specific type of doctor for help? I can't even manage car rides anymore. Any advice or suggestions you might have would really mean a lot to me.

I'm suddenly feeling a shocking pain in my right leg, almost like electric shocks, and it hurts so much that I can't walk. It feels kind of like being paralyzed. What could be happening, and what should I do?
The sudden onset of severe electric shock-like sensations, aching, and paralysis in your right leg, making it difficult to walk, could indicate a neurological emergency, such as a herniated disk, spinal cord compression, peripheral neuropathy, or even a stroke; seek immediate medical attention at the emergency room
