Accepted Answer

Question 2

large polyp/cyst in the left maxillary sinuses. i also suffer from trigeminial neuropathy on the right side. can that polyp/cyst be causing headache?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Polyp in the sinus can cause headache. A polyp or cyst also predisposes you to infection in the sinus. It would be prudent to consult an ENT doctor.

Question 3

could nerve damage really be repaired?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: A severed or ruptured nerve theoretically can be repaired surgically, but that does not guarantee complete healing and normal function.  Nerves do have the ability to regenerate.  New connection can be made to bridge the area of injury.  This takes time and most healing will occur within the first year after injury.  Ultimately, your body will do the best it can to heal the injury.

Cubital tunnel: Most commonly, ulnar nerve is trapped at the level of the olecranon fossa at back of the elbow, and treatment can involve medication, pt, steroid injection, or surgical nerve transfer out of harms way.  Less common, is involvement of median nerve at the front of the elbow.  An EMG study can help guide treatment interventions.

Question 8

Yes: Some nerves give feedback to your brain and spinal cord, helping your body to protect them. When they fail, the joints can be exposed to excess force without you knowing it. This is called a neuropathic (or charcot) joint. It is seen fairly often in the feet of people with the neuropathy (nerve damage) associated with diabetes mellitus.
