Severe stress, depression, a vitamin B-12 deficiency, insufficient sleep, some prescription drugs and infections can all play a role.

I've been having this tingling sensation in my hands, feet, and all over my body. A neurologist recommended vitamins B12 and others, but the issue hasn't gone away. I've been masturbating about 5 times a week for the past 8 years. Do you think that could be causing it? What should I do?

It may be due to nerve compression in cervical spine or anywhere in shoulder side because of poor posture... You can take physiotherapy for nerve entrapment and correct posture exercises. Masterbation is not a cause for this problem.

I've been diagnosed with PIVD at L4-L5 and have been taking pregabalin NT along with calcium and vitamin D supplements for the past 8 months. Since surgery wasn't needed, I'm wondering how much longer I'll need to stay on these medications. Are there any long-term side effects I should be aware of with pregabalin NT or the supplements?

Long-term pregabalin use can cause dizziness, drowsiness, and weight gain. Supplements are safe unless overdosed. Continue meds until MRI and symptoms show complete relief.
