View allAfter a serious brain and left side face surgery from an accident two months ago, I'm still on a liquid diet and can't open my mouth fully. What could be causing this?
After brain and facial surgery, limited mouth opening and difficulties swallowing (dysphagia) can result from several factors, including muscle spasms (trismus), nerve damage, or scar tissue formation.

I've been having a cold and cough along with a mild fever in the evenings for a few days now. But whats really worrying me is this weakness in my legs and hands. There's no pain, just this weird weakness. It's making it hard for me to walk these past couple of days, and my hands are feeling kind of stiff. Plus, there's this tingling sensation in my hands and legs. Im not really sure what's going on or what I should do about it. Can you help me figure this out?
your symptoms could be related to a variety of conditions, ranging from a post-viral recovery phase to more serious nerve issues or an infection-related complication like Guillain-Barr Syndrome.
