A back brace or corset can provide excellent relief for most sciatica sufferers. Those who gain the most benefit are those who find their pain eases when they wrap/bind a towel or sheet (folded-lengthwise) tightly around their stomach and back. If this simple test eases your pain, you should use a back brace in the short-term. Back braces and strong deep core muscles help to avoid a recurrence in the future.

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. Please understand that diabetic neuropathy is a long term complication of diabetes. Therefore, unless blood glucose are in strict control, just taking other medications will not give necessary benefits. You can try and cut down the dosage or can look at stopping one of the medications. But more importantly strict blood glucose control with fbg closer to 100 mg, pp 150 170 mg & hba1c% < 7%, is an essential aspect of the treatment...more

Erectile dysfunction affects older men more than younger men. About 1% of men in their 40s, 17% of men in their 60s, and nearly 50% of men 75 or older aren't able to achieve an erection sufficient for intercourse.
Sometimes erectile dysfunction develops gradually. One night it may take longer or require more stimulation to get an erection. Another time, an erection may not be as firm as usual, or it may end before orgasm. When such difficulties occur regularly, it's time to talk to a doctor....more

My mother is having a treatment of archanoid spinal cyst from past 4 years. Little buzzing noise started in her years 6 month ago which suddenly stopped after two months and she had pain behind ear. Suddenly approx 1.5 months ago she had extreme dizziness (room moving) ,vomiting .dr said it is cervical problem and gave medications for it. Dizitac tab (cinnarizine+dimenhydrinate, rejunex cd3 ,pentanerv for 1 month and then again continued for 20-25 days. He also gave osteoarthritis medications which he stopped after 20 days but others are still continuing. After dizziness she had extreme fatigue .she can't even sit for more than 15 mins for 3-5 days. Even after 1.5 months she gets tired very extremely even on doing very little work/walking. She has headache sometimes too in the centre of head .should we go for mri? Can it be symptoms of something other than cervical problems? Is it it symptom of brain tumor or due to her spinal arachnoid cyst? Should we go for mri? Can it be symptoms of something other than cervical problems? Is it it symptom of brain tumor or due to her spinal arachnoid cyst?

Check her calcium levels and check her motor power of limbs go for electrolyte tests. As such arachnoid cyst won’t do anything to other parts of body. There is not a feature of tumour at all. Do eye refractive error check list down drugs of osteoarthritis and check these are the side effects of these or not.

Specially I was worried about hib but it was shown - not reactive. And according to one of previous test for widal it was reported that I had been suffering from typhoid. So my query is here about the fever and flu which I am developing frequently is it because of typhoid or something else for that I am getting it again and again.

And has prescribed me as follows the medicines. 1.veloz d capsules. 2.lonazep 0.5 m. 3.pentanerv nt. 4.ensure hp powder. Please correlate with this queries medically. Thanks.

A family member is under treatment for schizoaffective disorder since 10 yrs. Lithium carbazepine risperidone clonazepam apripazole n ativan lorazepam for wen trouble sleeping. She has developed slowness of movement almost walks like penguin n feels rigidness tightness in hips n thigh thus trouble sitting n walking. Her psychiatrist told to do tests serum lithium n carbamazepine were under normal levels Vit b12 normal Only calcium slight lower than normal n vit d3 low Ortho consultation raised query abt extrapyramidal side effects of antipsychotic medication but psychiatrist refuted it. Ortho den gave gabapentin n mecobalamin n ca+vit d improved her walking n stiffness to an extent. I wanted to ask what is the reason for her walking problem n why did she get relief from gabapentin. We were asked to follow up after 15 days. If still stiffness n walking prob to refer neuro physician coz ortho cause was ruled out. I would like to know whats going on with her cause our docs didnt clearly explain d situation? N I cant afford to change docs.

Hi lybrate-user, I would like to say that the symptoms of slowness of movement what you have mentioned in a patient who is on Rispeidone and aripiprazole is most probably EPS (extra pyramidal Side effects) unless proved otherwise. There may be underlying or Co morbid Parkinsons disease. But in this position its difficult to diagnose as the Pt is on antipsychotic. Gabapentin has no role in decreasing antipsychotic induced slowness in movements. But its often used as a treatment of Akathesia which...more

Thanks for contacting with your health concern and since she is already under expert supervision, under no circumstances you should stop/taper/add any drug without first consulting your attending physician
1. I usually give my patient (s) the same drug [in capsule form] along with other herbs [with positive results and feedback] which helps alleviate symptoms and provide relief in signs of inflammation. If interested I can courier you the medicine (s)
