Question by Shrinivas on Nov 27, 2024Hindi

Health

My left neck pains, left hand and arm pains, sometimes it tingles, imbalance problem. Is this cervical spondylosis or anything else. I m suffering this for past 2 years. Can you please help me with a proper solution. Please help me.

Ans: Dear Mr. Shrinivas . Thank you for your query. Yes, your symptoms—left-sided neck pain, arm pain, tingling, and imbalance—are typical signs of cervical spondylosis. This condition occurs due to age-related wear and tear of the cervical spine, leading to nerve compression, which can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the arms.

I strongly recommend that you visit a physiotherapist for a proper assessment. They will evaluate your posture, neck mobility, and nerve involvement before designing a personalized treatment plan. Physiotherapy may include postural correction, neck-strengthening exercises, manual therapy, and nerve mobilization techniques to relieve symptoms and improve function.

In the meantime, you can try neck stretches, apply heat or ice, and maintain proper posture while working or using mobile devices. However, do not ignore persistent symptoms, as timely physiotherapy can prevent worsening of the condition. Please visit a specialist soon for the best guidance and treatment

Health

Hello, I am 49 yrs old. I am getting neck pain. Also, once I carry even small weight I am facing neck pain. Please do give suggestion

Ans: Hello Srinivasa,
It would be better to visit a professional like an orthopedic/physiotherapist. They will need to check and understand the cause whether it is related to cervical bones or muscles. Accordingly the treatment can be given like Ultrasound, muscle trigger release, certain exercises or bone mobilisation.
Also you need to probably check your Vit D3/Vit B12 levels.
All the best!

Health

Hello,My name is Panduran, age 60.Two years back I have undergone cervical surgery to C2 to C5 . Before surgery I was having numbness and weakness in both the palm and arms.After surgery my left hand is very stiff and I am feeling heavy ness on my left shoulder.Doctor says I have to bear this pain I am on prescribed medicines since two years.Pl advise.

Ans: It is possible that the pain is a complication of some nerve involvement during the surgery and therefore may be irreversible. However, before you give up you may want to take another opinion of a spine/neurosurgeon. Physiotherapy may also have a role in improving the discomfort.

I was duped of some 8L rs by fraudster and had completed the legal process where in court has ordered indusind bank and bank of Maharashtra to refund me money which is held by them..it been more than month since order was issued still no update is available from bank regarding credit back of the amount in my account.what next I should do..

Ans: Hello;

Send a reminder notice to the banks seeking time bound implementation of the Court order.

Either they may be preparing to appeal against the lower court order or it may be just a case of procedural delay.

Await their feedback before escalating to the court.

Money

My loans have crossed 40 lakhs and i dont have job. I dont know what should i do as i do not have any money to pay back. I am taking loans to repay interest for old loans.

Ans: Hello;

Sell some of your asset like land, gold or vehicle to repay the loan on priority.

Don't borrow to repay existing loans. Restructure the loans or seek a moratorium till you get a job.

Borrow funds from family and friends explaining your mistakes and promise to repay once you get another job.

Keep in mind the old saying to cut your cloth as per your size and act accordingly.
