Neurology

Treatment for a waddling gait is determined by its underlying cause. Options include physical therapy, assistive devices, or—in rare cases—surgery.

Multiple sclerosis can cause electric shock sensations, often known as Lhermitte's sign, and treatment typically focuses on managing the symptoms with medications and other supportive care.

Doctors identify abnormal gait patterns by observing how a person walks and using specialized tools to measure movement. They then classify these patterns into distinct types based on specific movement characteristics and underlying medical conditions.

Brain fog (feeling mentally slow or confused) and fatigue (feeling very tired) often happen at the same time and can share similar triggers. Both can be influenced by factors like poor sleep, diet, mood, and even infections like COVID-19.

Foggy brain (trouble thinking clearly) and headaches may appear together because they can share similar causes in the brain, such as inflammation, after an illness like COVID-19.

Boost your brain’s information processing by getting regular exercise, challenging your mind, and taking care of your overall health.

To help stop a persistent sensation of pins and needles, it is important to work with a doctor to find and treat the underlying nerve problem, which might involve medications, therapy, or lifestyle changes.

It is quite uncommon for pain to affect the entire one side of the body from head to toe. When it does occur, it may be linked to conditions that either cause widespread pain—like fibromyalgia—or to more localized but referred pain from joints, nerves, or even the brain.

People with brain fog often say it feels like their thoughts are cloudy, slow, or fuzzy. They may have trouble focusing, remembering things, or feeling mentally sharp.

A shuffling walk occurs when a person takes short, dragging steps. This movement pattern is commonly seen in people with Parkinson's disease due to brain changes associated with the disease.

A shuffling walk can be an early sign of brain changes linked to dementia. Research shows that walking difficulties may predict future cognitive problems.

Brain fog from COVID-19 can start a few weeks after recovery, but the timing can vary a lot between people.

Research shows that brain fog is a common problem for people after COVID-19, with studies reporting that a good number of survivors experience issues with memory and concentration.

Many adults experience tingling at some point in their lives, but having a constant tingling all over the body is less common and often linked to specific health conditions.

Some tingling after a workout can be normal, but whole body tingling may sometimes suggest that your body is reacting to exercise stress, blood flow changes, or it could be linked to temporary nerve issues.

Paresthesia, or the pins and needles feeling, is usually not dangerous on its own, but if you notice sudden, severe, or additional alarming symptoms, it might need urgent medical care.

Some studies suggest that brain fog (trouble thinking clearly) and head pressure (often described as headache) might be connected, especially in people recovering from illnesses like COVID-19 and other conditions with shared symptoms.

There isn't one known cure for brain fog, but supportive care and medical therapy depending on the cause can help lessen the symptoms.

There is currently no known way to instantly clear brain fog. Most methods take time and work gradually to help reduce symptoms.

There isn’t one single test that diagnoses brain fog; instead, various tools and scales help measure its symptoms and effects.
