Burning pain on my arm?
The sensation is burning, or pins and needles, and is generally a symptom of a nerve injury. The location of the injury which would cause arm symptoms is most likely in the neck READ MORE
The sensation is burning, or pins and needles, and is generally a symptom of a nerve injury. The location of the injury which would cause arm symptoms is most likely in the neck or deep within the upper chest or shoulder. Typically an MRI of the neck, and shoulder and a CAT scan of the chest are done looking for the cause of the pain. An EMG (electrical testing of nerve and muscle function) can also sometimes be helpful. You are certainly appropriate in your concern if the area involved is enlarging.

Spinal Stenosis L4 & L5?
Spinal problems are typically treat as you have done already. Other non surgical options include the use of a cortisone medication for 7 to 10 days orally if OK with your family READ MORE
Spinal problems are typically treat as you have done already. Other non surgical options include the use of a cortisone medication for 7 to 10 days orally if OK with your family doctor, traction, a TENS unit, gabapentin. You don’t mention evaluations such as MRI and EMG to confirm the diagnosis.

It is more likely a nerve problem than a heart problem. Awakening with the first three fingers numb or with pins and needles sensation frequently occurs with a pinched nerve at the wrist (carpal tunnel syndrome). And a similar sensation can be present in the feet if the nerves in both arms and legs aren’t functioning (a peripheral neuropathy).

I have a weird feeling in my head?
There’s not enough information in this question to answer. I would suggest you talk with your family doctor.

Pulling feeling?
Your difficulty sounds to be muscular, but you need to see your family physician for a more complete history, a thorough examination and appropriate testing.
Sex and disability?
This is a urological issue. Even though your illness is neurological, treatment is something a urologist can give you best.

Some people have dizziness as part of their seizure. But his significant dizziness is more likely to be from his ear problems, or a toxic level of tegretol (very unlikely since he is on a low dose). It’s possible that he might be prescribed a medication to have on hand to take when the dizziness comes on.
Not a heart attack?
Could be. If this remains undiagnosed, I would suggest you see a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation physician. Not a physical therapist, but a physs.

Brain cancer question?

What: Astrocytoma. Life expectancy: can be unchanged from normal to death within 3-6 months, worst case. Can present with an inability to think as clearly, confusion, loss of executive function: foreseeing consequences of their actions, or loss of motor control or of vision on 1 side of the body, or, if it is in the temporal or frontal lobes on the left, then loss of speech and
understanding. Instrument: all instruments require dexterity on1 or both sides of the body, so inability to play as well would apply to any brain tumor.

How long does nerve pain last after C-section?
The only pain commonly associated with a C-section is that associated with helping incision. Any other pain would be atypical. You should see your doctor.
Extreme vertigo, and other symptoms my mother just reported?

Vertigo can be an inner ear problem or a brain problem. ENT physicians and Neurologists see patients with vertigo. Testing typically consists of a brain MRI and various hearing and inner ear testing. The treatment is typically medical, not surgical. The combination of the visual abnormality and vertigo is highly suggestive of a type of migraine, “vertiginous migraine,“ even if no headache occurs.
I have spontaneously gained the ability to move my ears?
I don’t know of any explanation for what has happened to you. Certainly when an increase in movement occurs, that’s a good thing, but how that can happen is puzzling.
Head pain?
Pins and needles sensations are usually from injury to the nerves in the skin. The feeling does not usually occur from brain injury inside the skull.
Identifying a brain surgery scar?

There is nothing about this scar that definitely identifies it as brain surgery, and it cannot tell us if it’s from a particular type of surgery. Hospital records, if they could be found, would be the only way to know for sure.
Muscle pain lingering after severe leg cramp?

There’s not much you can do without seeing your Primary Care Physician. A typical neuropathy isn’t on just 1 side, and doesn’t come on suddenly. The treatment may be as simple as a muscle relaxer, but an assessment looking for the cause should come first.
Bilateral trigeminal neurologia?
Bilateral trigeminal neuralgia is exceedingly rare. Only 3% of all trigeminal neuralgia patients have it on both sides and almost all of the 3% have multiple sclerosis as the cause READ MORE
Bilateral trigeminal neuralgia is exceedingly rare. Only 3% of all trigeminal neuralgia patients have it on both sides and almost all of the 3% have multiple sclerosis as the cause for the pain. Surgery for trigeminal neuralgia is microvascular, meaning the hole in the skull made to do the surgery is about the size of a quarter. If bilateral surgery is done, then each side of the skull would have a small hole. In patients with multiple risk factors for surgery, in whom medications have not worked, the alternative therapy is "Gamma Knife." This uses a focused beam of radiation, without any incision, or anesthesia risks. It sounds that you need to see a neurosurgeon who can provide you with multiple options, including making sure you really do have bilateral trigeminal neuralgia and not something else.

Your situation is unusual, but may be due to a brain problem or a peripheral nerve problem. An MRI would be very helpful in looking for a brain disorder. And blood tests for specific diseases would be needed for identification of a sensory nerve problem, such as Lyme disease. There are occasional instances where a malignant tumor causes neurological symptoms, although it’s rare. Sensory disorders are often very difficult to diagnose. Our tests are often not sensitive enough. And many times sensory issues go away without our ever diagnosing the problem.
