❓ Additional Information Needed for Diagnosis
To provide a better assessment, please share:
- When did the symptoms start? (Sudden or gradual onset)

- Do you have any medical conditions? (Diabetes, BP, thyroid, past stroke)
- Any history of recent infections, injuries, or surgeries?

⚠️ Precautions to Take
- Safety First: Use support while walking, avoid uneven surfaces, and have someone assist you if needed.
- Pain Management: Apply warm or cold compresses and take mild pain relievers (after consulting a doctor).
- Nutritional Support: Maintain a diet rich in vitamins (B12, D, magnesium) and stay hydrated.
- Avoid Strenuous Activity: Don't strain muscles; opt for light stretching if possible.
- Monitor for Worsening Symptoms: If you experience sudden paralysis, slurred speech, facial drooping, or difficulty breathing, seek urgent medical care.
🩺 Recommended Treatment Plan
- Immediate Medical Evaluation: Visit a neurologist or orthopaedic specialist for a detailed check-up.
- Diagnostic Tests May Include:
MRI or CT scan (brain and spine)
Nerve conduction studies (to check for nerve damage) Blood tests (to check for diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, thyroid function)
Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation: Depending on the diagnosis, physiotherapy may help improve mobility and reduce pain.
- Medication: Treatment will depend on the cause but may include pain relievers, nerve supplements, or other specific medications.
Please seek medical attention as soon as possible to prevent symptoms from worsening.
