Brachial plexus injuries don't wait for you to decide "later."

In many patients, the nerves have a narrow window to heal, once that window closes, even a perfect surgery may not fully restore function.

✔️ Early evaluation (within days, not months) gives nerves the best chance to recover
✔️ Delayed repair often means weaker muscle recovery, even with surgery
✔️ Timing, not just technique, is often the biggest factor in outcome

Your body often warns you before a migraine hits, most people just don't recognise the signs.

These early symptoms can show up hours, sometimes a full day, before the headache even starts:

🔹 Unexplained yawning or neck stiffness a day before the headache
🔹 Sudden food cravings or loss of appetite
🔹 Mood shifts, irritability or low energy for no clear reason
🔹 Visual flickers, light sparks, or zig-zag patterns (aura)
🔹 Increased sensitivity to light, sound, or smell before pain even starts

Recognising these early signs can help you act sooner — and manage migraines before they take over your day.

Don't ignore persistent symptoms. Smaller triggers, bigger clarity.

How to Activate Your Frontal Cortex

Your frontal cortex is your brain's control centre, responsible for decision-making, focus, self-control, and problem-solving. The good news? You can actively train it to work better through simple daily habits like mindfulness, quality sleep, physical activity, and taking on tasks that genuinely challenge your thinking.

A sharper frontal cortex means better decisions, better emotional control, and a better you.

Understanding Spasticity: Stage by Stage

Spasticity can progress differently for every individual. Recognising the stages early can help in timely management and maintaining independence.

🔹 Stage 1 (Mild): Occasional stiffness with minimal impact on daily activities.
🔹 Stage 2 (Moderate): Increased stiffness affecting movement, walking, or grip.
🔹 Stage 3 (Severe): Muscle tightness may lead to pain and postural difficulties.
🔹 Stage 4 (Advanced): Fixed contractures and significant loss of function.

Early assessment and appropriate management can help reduce the impact of spasticity on daily life.

Spinal cord compression doesn't always announce itself with pain.

In many patients, the damage can quietly progress even when discomfort is minimal — by the time symptoms become obvious, the compression may already be significant.

✔️ Numbness, weakness, or balance issues can appear before pain does
✔️ Early MRI evaluation can catch compression before permanent damage sets in
✔️ Timely treatment often means avoiding major surgery later

Will Phenytoin or Phenobarbital Work for Epilepsy?

A question we often get: "Doctor, will Phenytoin or Phenobarbital control my epilepsy?"

There is no one-size-fits-all medicine for epilepsy. What works for one patient may not work for another, which is why self-medication or following generic advice can do more harm than good.

If you or a loved one is dealing with seizures, consult a Neurologist or Neurosurgeon for an accurate diagnosis and a personalised treatment plan. With the right approach, seizures can be well controlled.

Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Pain: Your questions, answered.

Living with chronic pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments? Spinal cord stimulation may be an option worth discussing.

✔️ How does spinal cord stimulation work? Mild electrical pulses are delivered to the spinal cord to help interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain.

✔️ Is the device implanted immediately? No, a trial device is first used to see whether stimulation provides meaningful pain relief for you.

✔️ What happens if the trial works? If you experience satisfactory relief, a permanent stimulation system may be implanted.

✔️ Can it reduce reliance on medication? For some patients, it may help manage chronic pain while reducing reliance on pain medication, as part of a personalized treatment plan.

Spinal cord stimulation isn’t suitable for everyone, but for selected patients with persistent chronic pain, it can be an important treatment option.

Which of these questions have you wondered about? Tell us below 👇
