    It depends on the degree or extent of the damage and duration. The more extensive the damage and the longer the time since the damage, the less likely  for a cure.

    It depends on the extent of the damage. If it's mild, give it some time and resolve the problem that caused the damage. Nerve damage may take up to 6 months to repair. If it's moderate to severe and the likelihood of repair is poor you can have rehabilitation therapy to help you adapt to your condition. A well balanced diet and B complex vitamins may offer some benefits. Good luck. Dr F. Sent from AOL on Android READ MORE

  • Can nerve surgery help fix the damage?

    Depending on the type extent and duration of the nerve damage. If it's recent then surgery might be helpful; In general terms surgery offers limited solutions.

  • What to avoid with nerve damage?

    Depends on where it is and how extensive. Some basics to go by would be avoid heavy lifting probably less than 10 to 20 pounds. Avoid positions ( bending your back too much ) that might exacerbate the injury. Good luck. READ MORE

  • Small pea sized Lump on temple comes and goes but gets larger when weight lifting?

    Thanks for the detailed history. From the picture and what you describe it seems there's a vascular component to it ( an angioma or vascular nevus).I would suggest having a dermatologist take a look at it and determine what exactly it is and treatment options. Good luck. Dr. F. Sent from AOL on Android READ MORE

  • Painful Feet

    I would consider seeing a neurologist and have an evaluation for neuropathy and or vascular problems. If that turns out normal then I would focus on your anxiety and consider taking daily anti anxiety medication ( Cymbalta might be useful ). There are multiple anti anxiety medications and the choice is best made between you and your treating physician that knows you well.Good luck. Dr. F. Sent from AOL on Android READ MORE

  • Can nerve damage in feet be repaired?

  • Dilated Blood Vessell Showing on MRI

    Not necessarily.  A 1-millimeter dilation is within normal variation and the interpreter's margin of error. You need the clinical picture and family history as well to weigh in all possibilities.  It would be wise to go ahead with the CT angiography just to make sure all is well. Good luck.  READ MORE

  • General question for curiosity's sake about epilepsy

    With partial epilepsy you can have weakness on the opposite side of where your seizures originate; Particularly after having had a seizure ( Todd's paralysis ). If you have weakness particularly of New onset and on the same side where your seizures are coming from; That is concerning and needs to be evaluated. Talk to your doctor and get evaluated.  Good luck.  Dr. F. Sent from AOL on Android READ MORE

    It's hard to say without much information made available. See a Neurologist or if there's one in your area available a Neuro-Otologist ( specializes in Neurological disorders of the ear ). Vestibular Neurnitis could be one of several possibilities.  Good luck.

  • Prayer for change a antidepressants

    Prozac  would be a good choice for depression and anxiety. You are already taking a medication for sleep ( chlordiazepoxide) if still having trouble with sleep maybe increase it to 10. Same with the propranolol.  Good luck. READ MORE

  • Blood in the brain.

    It is common sometimes after an intracranial bleed to have some residual blood that is left over. Sometimes it's more dangerous trying to get it all out. With time it should reabsorb and a small portion may calcify which is also a common happening. Keeping your mom in the ICU for a bit longer is a wise precaution to make sure there's no leakage of blood and that she'll be fine. Good luck to you and your mom. Dr. F. Sent from AOL on Android READ MORE

  • Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizure Treatment Options

    There are quite a few questions I think of with your diagnosis and presentation. How was the diagnosis of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures reached. Did you undergo Long term EEG video monitoring and one or several of your events captured  demonstrating no seizure activity?Also have you been evaluated for  vasovagal or neurocardiogenic syncope?. That can often be misinterpreted as PNES ( psychogenic non epileptic seizures). Looking at the Medications you are taking you are being treated for  seizures / mood with Lamictal and Topiramate. Depression and anxiety with Effexor and Hydroxyzine along with CBT. Interactions ( propanolol ) can be used for anxiety, headaches, Tachycardia such as in POTS ( Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome) or  Vasovagal/ Neurocardiogenic syncope. Dexilant us for reflux heartburn. I suggest you have a visit with your treating physician(s) and discuss in detail your presentation and test results and reevaluate your diagnosis and treatment plans.  Good luck. Dr F. Sent from AOL on Android READ MORE

  • Concussion

    The recommended time to avoid strenuous or highly stimulating activity after a concussion is between 2 to 6 weeks depending on the degree of severity. I would suggest giving it another week of rest and if feeling much better then go for it. Good luck. Dr. F.  Sent from AOL on Android READ MORE

  • Caffeine withdrawal

    Your symptoms could be associated with a multitude of possibilities.  While a brain tumor can be a possibility it is far down on the list. You mist likely may be experiencing POTS ( Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome ). Amongst others are chronic fatigue or post Covid Neurological Syndrome. These are some of many possibilities. I suggest you make an appointment with your primary to discuss further detailed evaluation and or referral to a Neurologist for such.  Good Luck. Dr. F. Sent from AOL on Android READ MORE
