Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

A pre stroke is also known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA). It is nothing but a small stroke. It is experienced when blood supply to brain is stopped for a very short period. Its effects may be experienced for a few hours or for a few minutes. The symptoms usually subside within 24 hours. They begin rapidly, and they go away very soon.

I'm experiencing some numbness in my hands that's been going on for the past 2 to 3 months. It seems to happen when I'm doing my regular activities like lifting a bag or sometimes even when I wake up from sleep. I never had this issue before, and it's starting to concern me. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I've been having this weird tickling and tingling feeling in my lower belly and left leg at night for about a year now. It seems to come and go in waves. I also mentioned it to my doctor once and they said something about OLD. I'm starting to get a little worried. Do you have any idea what's going on? Could it be related to the OLD or something else entirely?

Its important to consult with a healthcare provider to get a clear diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment. In the meantime, managing your posture during sleep, reducing stress, and ensuring proper circulation through exercise can help alleviate symptoms.

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?
