Brain and Spine Problems
Abdominal pain after VP shunt
My father had a haemorrhagic stroke in right side 4months back following which he had craniectomy and 1 month after had his cranioplasty, 20 days after that he developed hydrocephalus and had to undergo VP shunt. It's been 20 days since and now he complained about right side abdominal tenderness, constipation, feeling full all the time, 2 days after he developed a fever, his CBC showed borderline infection, not much and his NS said nothing to do with shunting, but we are still concerned, we are noticing a difference in his mood and behavior and his walk as well. His fever is gone now and his constipation has improved a bit, but all the other signs persists and he is not feeling good, always sleepy and weak and unmotivated to do anything.

Work stress, mental fatigue & insomnia
I am a 23-year-old male working in a high-pressure corporate job. For the past year, I've been working 10–12 hours a day. Recently, I've been experiencing significant mental fatigue, work-related stress, and burnout. Over the last 2–3 days, I've barely been able to sleep despite feeling exhausted. My mind keeps thinking about work, and I feel mentally drained and anxious. I would like to know if this is stress-related insomnia and what treatment or consultation would be appropriate.

Back pain due to Jerk
Hiii...my husband is 38 years old...his weight is 93 kg...
My husband has been having back pain because of a sudden jerk in his back. The doctor has prescribed medicine for seven days. Today, when he was lying down, I noticed that his lower back looked slightly inward. I have also shared a photo. Could you please tell me if this is normal or if it could be a reason for his back pain?

Burning sensation and pain
She has been experiencing a burning sensation and pain in her right calf muscle and right foot for the past 2 years.
The pain is not severe while standing, walking, or doing household work, but it becomes worse after work when she rests, especially in the afternoon and at night. The burning sensation is mainly in the right calf and she also has pain in the right foot.
There is no recent injury or trauma. The symptoms have been persistent for the last 2 years and are affecting her comfort and sleep.
Could this be due to a nerve problem, muscle problem, poor blood circulation, or another condition? What investigations or treatment would you recommend?

Disequilibrium/Wobbly feeling
Hi doctors,
For the last 1 year or so, I’ve had a minor wobbly, unsteady feeling in my legs when standing or walking. I feel fine lying down and fine when I wake up, but thus wobbly sensation shows as the day passes.
I ignored it because symptoms were mild and nothing major happened (no falls or severe episodes), but it persists and fluctuates. I have no spinning vertigo, headaches, numbness, or speech issues.
What could be the potential causes for this disequilibrium. Where should i contact for the actual diagnosis.

MRI findings of Cervical Spine
My wife (34 years) has had neck pain, left shoulder pain, and intermittent tingling/numbness in the left upper limb for the past few weeks. The pain improved while on medication but recurred after stopping it. MRI Cervical Spine (3T) shows straightening of the cervical spine with mild kyphoscoliosis, early degenerative changes, multilevel cervical disc bulges (C3-C7), with left-sided nerve root compression (more marked at C4-C5 and C5-C6), mild indentation of the anterior thecal sac/anterior cord, but no cord signal abnormality. She has no weakness, no hand clumsiness, no gait imbalance, and no bowel/bladder symptoms. Based on these MRI findings and her neurological status, kindly do the needful on recommending medicines and physiotherapy so that she can recover please. No other health concerns apart from this and Thanking You in anticipation.
