Parkinson's is a brain disease that affects movement. It's caused by damage to nerve cells that produce the chemical dopamine. Dopamine normally keeps movements smooth and coordinated. Shaking in the hands, arms, legs, or head is one common symptom of parkinson's disease.

My father aged 58 years was operated in 2015 for hydatid liver cyst which was 19 cm in length. Post surgery he recovered well. Today he was again diagnosed with a small hydatid liver cyst (3.2×3.8) cm. How serious is this? Can it be treated with medicines and without surgery?

Give him kanchnaar guggulu regularly. But for proper diagnosis and prescription accordingly, you need to consult with his reports. Take care.

Hello Manisha

Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain, fatigue and other types of discomfort.

Symptoms resemble those of arthritis, but fibromyalgia affects the soft tissue, not the joints.

The cause is unknown, but risk factors include traumatic injury, RA and other autoimmune disorders, such as lupus and genetic factors.

There is no cure, but medications, exercise, acuouncture and behavioral therapy can help relieve symptoms and improve sleep quality.

Asked for female, 41 years old from Kottayam

Hello, I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia (with the tender points test) but have not had a proper detailed understanding of it from the 2 doctors I consulted. I have been asked to take pregabalin sustained release 75 mg and methylcobalamin 1500 mcg for a month and then do myofascial release therapy. I am not keen to take the medications as I prefer to try the physiotherapy first and understand this better and then if nothing else helps and pain becomes very difficult, only then move into medications. To understand it better I joined an online support group and in the process came across other symptoms I seem to have experienced at different times over the last year, but not sure. These include: - out of nowhere migraines headaches (usually mine are triggered by strong smells, skipping breakfast or too much loud noise) - a slightly mild body temperature once in a while - sudden full body pain (like flu body pain) but no fever and no other discomfort for 2 days and it went away. - sitting down, kneeling, or sitting cross legged brings pain to the areas behind my knees. I am 41 years old woman and sometimes I feel like with all these dull aches and pains I am maybe 70-80. But do not want to talk about it cause its embarrassing that someone young as me has all these pains and aches and discomforts. I walk daily about 5-7 km as part of my daily exercise and I try to stay low carb or on keto as it helps manage the migraines and energy levels. I need to find a doctor who has a really deep understanding of fibromyalgia and help me understand it. Thank you.

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, perfinidone is the mainstay treatment. In this condition, lung becomes like rope fibres, the size of the lungs reduces and hence there is difficulty in breathing (dam chadna) and cough is present. The above medication will halt the disease and prevents progress. Sadly no medicines available til now to reverse it. The only answer to this disease is lung transplantation. You can check few ipf groups on facebook. U can get few answers. There are trials going on, but the medic...more

Asked for male, 29 years old from Gurgaon

Dear sir/madam, I have been suffering with spasticity in lower limbs (left greater than right, from mild to moderate, mild urinal urgency) for last 10 years but I can walk independently without any assistance (though have issue with my gait ). This was a very sudden onset in 2010, I was travelling from one place to the other and next day I complained for stiffness in most lower left leg (calf muscles). When I consulted neurologist for the first time, they said it is a case of Ms. (multiple sclerosis) but later I consulted another neurologist who after studying my case said it is a form of hsp (hereditary spastic paraplegia). Nothing substantial came out as per them in my mri reports, no oligoclonal bands in csf etc. I just want to know what should be the right steps forward here? For last 10 years my condition has not worsened but is there any cure for such cases. Can my dorsiflexion issue in left leg get improved? P.s:this would be helpful if some neurologist can respond to it. I would be more happy if Lybrate can fwd my query to a gurgaon based neurologist. So, that later I can seek an appointment with the same doctor.

Dorsiflexion problems can occur when the muscles in the calf, known as the Gastroc,Soleus complex, are tight and cause restriction. Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and medication plan.
