Muscle knots due to stress all over back and neck. Very healthy but slightly high lymphocyte count but doctors say its fine. I am so freaked out

Female | 15

Muscle knots are usually caused by stress. Stress & tension later develops in the form of muscle tightness and discomfort called muscle spasms.
Regarding your slightly high lymphocyte count, if your doctors have reassured you that it is not a cause for concern, it's generally best to trust their expertise. Minor variations in blood cell counts can occur without indicating a serious health issue.

High radial never problem and wrist drop

Male | 26

These are some of the conditions that can cause muscle weakness and loss of movement in the wrist and hand. You should consult a neurologist or an orthopedist who is the specialist in nerve conditions to carry out the treatment. The longer the treatment is postponed the higher the risk of progressing to severe illness and disability.
