Accepted Answer

See doctor and...: This may well be bell's palsy, but it may be best to see a doctor & make sure he has not had a stroke or other problem. Bell's palsy almost always gets better without treatment but anti-virals may help. However, bell's palsy can be a symptom of lyme disease so it is wise to make sure it is not related to that.

Question 5

does nerve damage and similar symptoms to ulnar nerve entrapment go along with spengels disease. i suffer from a raised scapula when flexing pectorali?

Accepted Answer

Two different things: You mentioned at least two different things. Sprengel's disease is a rare congenital deformity where one scapula is higher than another. The other thing you described is a "winged" scapula, where it "sticks out" when pressing against a wall. This is from damage to the long thoracic nerve. The treatment for sprengels' is surgery, which could conceivably damage the ltn and lead to winging.

Question 7

i have burning sensation in my right ankle, and sometimes it hurts when i walk on it, almost like a nerve is twisting, my other ankle swells at times too, i have rhuematoid arthritis and athersclerosis disease, could these be symptoms of either of those d

Accepted Answer

RA: You are right about the nerve being twisted. Due to the RA your joints are changing and they swell. Increase swelling in your ankles places pressure on the nerves that go through the "expansions" around your ankle. Hence this puts pressure  on your nerves and pinches them causing burning sensation. Atherosclerosis would cause cramping pain  in your calves.
