Symmetrical Neuropathy: Seeking Treatment in Chennai

Patient's Query

I have had some kind of neuropathy for the past 4.5 years and have level 6/7 pain in my palms, soles, toes, and fingers. I suffer from pin/needle and burning pain. Over the years I have also lost my muscles in both legs, thighs, arms, posteriors, and have become very weak and can hardly walk now. All my symptoms are symmetrical on both sides. Extensive tests including MRI of brain, chest, EMG, abdomen, ABI, spine, etc. have been done but no significant disease has been found. Constant routine blood tests have shown no major problems. I am not diabatic and have not been identified as hypertensive. Some doctors have inconclusively indicated small fiver neuropathy. I have used gabapentin, pregabalin, and duloxetine for pain relief. I continue to become weak due to muscle atrophy. My friends and relatives have suggested treatment in Chennai, and I would like to come to Chennai in a short time hoping for better treatment and cure of my disease. Thank you and looking forward to a quick response.

My grandfather age is 69 he had second brain stroke after 3 month now he able to speak slow slow today he got anger and eat food by himself without ask anyone after I ask him is any problem you in eat he said no problem and easy to eat . so please doctor suggest me can we start giving him food by mouth

Male | 69

It is quite predictable for a person who had a stroke for the second time to have trouble speaking and experiencing behavior changes. The good thing is that he ate without any problem which is a way forward. His improved swallowing ability is reflected in his independent eating skills. It's necessary to lay a good basis by cutting out soft foods and liquids to avoid choking. Let him carry out the process of swallowing without being rushed. It's recommended that a speech therapist or a healthcare provider be the one to provide him with a diet plan that he must follow carefully.

Female | 41

These symptoms together with unintentional loss of weight are worrisome. This could happen for many reasons including pulled muscles or problems with the cervical spine but it could also be something more serious so I would advise seeking medical attention soon so you can find out what is wrong before starting any treatment plan.

I have severe headache I think it's tmj headache and not bearable.

Female | 23

Severe headaches that feel related to TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues can be distressing. It's important to consult a dentist or a specialist in oral and maxillofacial medicine for proper evaluation and treatment. They can assess if TMJ dysfunction is causing your headaches and recommend appropriate therapies or referrals for further management.

I am having hormonal migraines due to my period starting soon. My go-to remedies are not having any effect lately. I have already taken Excedrin but with no improvement. I want to take naproxen-sumatriptan. Can I take this after taking Excedrin? How long should I wait?

Female | 29

If Excedrin hasn't provided relief for your hormonal migraines, it's best not to take naproxen sumatriptan without consulting a doctor. Combining medications without guidance can be harmful. Seek advice from a healthcare provider or pharmacist for a safe alternative or proper timing to take naproxen-sumatriptan.
