Brain and Spine Problems
CIDP / GBS
Hello Doctors,
My father had chikungunya and was admitted in hospital for around 15 days. Later doctors diagonsed that he is having encephalitis due to chikungunya and later he was unable to walk properly balancing problems. He had numbness in his legs. When we discussed to Neuro surgeon he told he is having GBS or CIDP.
After that IVIG course and steroids shots was given to him 2 months back.
Now from some days some times he is having cramps and muscle stiffness for very short durations like 1-2 mins. Is it a sign of recovery or what because when we consult doc he told it's a sign of recovery. And in last 2 months his condition is improved after IVIG and booster shots from bed he is now able to walk with the help of Walker.
Need to know whether these cramps and muscle stiffness are recovery signs or not.
Regards,
Gautam

Neck stiffness, tingling sensation
It was two months back I got hit at the right side of my head from a door which was closed forcefully by my kid. I was having localized pain for a week accompanied by pain that I couldn't tie a ponytail or comb my hair. It was manageable after a week and I started doing yoga after which I noticed sudden neck stiffness, dizziness., took muscle relaxants for 4 days which gave temporary relief so went for massage therapy and felt much better. Was using a rolled thin blanket below neck and head for sleeping. Just 1 day back I went out riding a bike wearing a helmet and also used a normal pillow for sleeping, don't know the trigger which aggrevated the pain, Again I'm experiencing severe neck stiffness, pain behind ears, tingling sensation at corner of left eye which gets blurry occasionally, Dizziness when I get up. Don't know whom to consult and suffering without a solution for more than a month.

Calf, low back hip pain while/after walk
I used to walk a lot, I've never had a problem w walking but from over a few months, my legs, lower back and hips hurt a lot while walking, my muscles get very stiff, and I feel like I can barely stand cause of pain, on sitting, I can feel pulses in my legs like blood is rushing to my legs and my hands and feet very red and become warm, what could be the reason for it? I have Celiac disease, fibromyalgia, dysautonomia, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and restless leg syndrome. Now I know this could be a fibro thing but walking has always been good for me in fibro and I was able to walk hours and now medications have been working well for me for fibromyalgia.
