THIS POST IS REFERENCE FROM YOU TUBE Dr. Nabil Eb... author is sharing valuable information for non profit .only for sharing to understand why suffering of pain. I still confuse of my pain why is cause and how to name .I learn and share my reference . Who is suffering like me so who can describe why he or he has what kind of pain.
Basic Information about Traumatic Brain Injury illustration of a traumatic brain injury Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious public health problem in the United States. Each year, traumatic brain injuries contribute to a substantial number of deaths and cases of permanent disability. In 2014, there were approximately 2.87 million TBI-related emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and deaths in the US, including over 837,000 of these health events among children. 1 A TBI is caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the normal function of the brain. Not all blows or jolts to the head result in a TBI. The severity of a TBI may range from “mild,” i.e., a brief change in mental status or consciousness to “severe,” i.e., an extended period of unconsciousness or amnesia after the injury. CDC’s research and programs work to prevent TBI and help people better recognize, respond, and recover if a TBI occurs.

THIS IS HOW I FEEL PAIN ON MY LEG BECAUSE OF LUMBER SPINAL STENOSIS

Leg pain while lying on the back When lying on your back, the lower spine’s natural inward curve (called the lumbar lordosis) is more accentuated than when sitting or reclining. Holding the spine in this position decreases the size of the passageways (foramina) where nerve roots exit the spinal column. If a herniated disc or bone spur is present, this position can directly pinch a nerve root and result in sciatic leg pain (called lumbar spinal stenosis). Typical Symptoms of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis The characteristic symptom of lumbar spinal stenosis is increased pain in the legs with walking (neurogenic claudication or pseudo claudication), which can markedly diminish one's activity level. People with lumbar spinal stenosis are typically comfortable at rest but cannot walk far without developing leg pain. Pain relief is achieved within 5 to 10 minutes when they sit down or lean forward.4 Spinal nerve root involvement may cause a more sharp, shooting type of pain in the leg. The symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis develop slowly. As the condition progresses, the symptoms may worsen and become quite debilitating. For each person, the severity and duration of lumbar stenosis symptoms are different and based on the affected neural tissue(s). Common symptoms may include one or more of the following: Radicular pain: Nerve root compression or irritation that results in leg pain, which typically travels down from the lower back into the buttock and leg on one side—commonly called sciatica. Lumbar radiculopathy: Nerve root compression or irritation that results in tingling, weakness, and/or numbness that radiates from the lower back into the buttock and leg on one side. Neurogenic claudication: Spinal cord compression that causes a symmetrical pattern of pain affecting both legs while walking or standing for a long period of time. Neurologic deficits, such as loss of coordination, gait imbalance, numbness, and weakness affecting both legs may also occur. For most people, symptoms of lumbar stenosis fluctuate, with some periods of more severe symptoms and some with fewer or none. The symptoms develop gradually and can lead to chronic pain and muscle weakness over time. It is also possible for lumbar spinal stenosis to be asymptomatic (not cause any symptoms) THAN YOU FOR YOUR INFO:REF: https://www.spine-health.com/video/lumbar-laminectomy-surgery-video https://www.spine-health.com/video/lumbar-spinal-stenosis-video https://www.spine-health.com/video/treatment-spinal-stenosis-video https://www.spine-health.com/video/epidural-steroid-injections-back-pain-and-leg-pain-video

Mild cardiomegaly PROBLEM

The Wrap Up Mild cardiomegaly is a slight enlargement of the heart. In the case of mild cardiomegaly, hypertrophy is caused by a need for the heart to pump more frequently or harder. If blood pressure is raised, the heart must push harder to circulate the blood through the body in order to combat against the heart, and this in turn leads to mild cardiomegaly. Because high blood pressure can have a host of other health complications in addition to cardiomegaly, it is important that medications are employed to lower blood pressure, which will relieve both the mild enlargement of the heart and any other problems. During a heart attack, blood flow to a part of the heart is cut off by a blockage or clot. Cardiomyopathy is a disease that results in inflammation of the heart muscles.(REF https://healthfully.com/mild-cardiomegaly-5084870.html) ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ((NOTE; My result is Mild cardiomegaly PROBLEM )) ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
