What causes tingling sensation on the face, legs, and arms?
Hello doctor,
About a year ago, I started with tingling symptoms on the face, which was most consistent but also arms, legs, and torso those are more intermittent on both sides of the body. At time B12 was low started taking it after a couple of months symptoms better. Also, I had regular neuro examination and normal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head and cervical spine. After a few months, I stopped B12 levels up then a few months after the same symptoms again and B12 low again. Started back on B12 symptoms went away in a couple of months. Last month it started signs yet, but still, on B12 it is very high 1270 so symptoms not due to that. Had another head MRI was normal. My cervical MRI did show moderate to severe changes throughout of narrowing of foraminal in all areas c3 to c7. Also flattening of ventral cord c3 through 6. I am anxious about it being multiple sclerosis.

Why is there inability to walk or move after a stroke?
Hello doctor,
My mother is not able to walk properly or move properly. She met with ischemic stroke eight years back and she is diabetic, has BP, and seizures (epilepsy). She has been treated with insulin, and blood pressure (BP) suppressants, Atorvastatin, Levetiracetam, and Phenytoin (Eptoin) for seven years. Now she is not able to walk properly or move her hands and legs properly. Her thinking and behavior have also become very mild. Please suggest me the correct medication for her. Please help.
Thank you.
