I have been suffering from severe head and neck pain, daily headaches, intense pressure, loss of vision/balance, numbness/tingling/burning in my neck and back, severe bladder issues, and extreme lethargy. My MRI showed a 3 cm pineal cyst and Chiari type 1 malformation, and I have several bulging discs at the c-spine level, as well as T and L spine. I have tried various treatments including injections, medications, and physical therapy, but my symptoms have progressed. What could be causing these symptoms and what further tests or treatments should I consider?

My 10-year-old daughter sometimes looks more pale than usual, and my 45-year-old husband has a chronic scalp condition causing swollen lymph nodes. Should I be concerned about these symptoms, and what are the signs of an impending growth spurt in children?

I am 16 weeks pregnant and was recently placed on Clindamycin for a tooth infection. Since then, I have had chronic yellow/green diarrhea that is very foul smelling and explosive, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. My stomach is very bubbly, and I can't seem to keep anything in or down for the last few days. I have tried a bland diet of toast and crackers, but my appetite is not there, and neither is my urge to drink anything, even though I keep trying to push fluids on myself. I am confused as to what is happening with my body and whether or not my baby is at risk.

I have heterogeneous signal throughout vertebrae bodies and bone marrow reconversion. I experience leg weakness, pain upon walking that worsens with activity and especially at night, and I'm unstable using my legs. They hurt all the time, feeling like I have a bad tooth. My WBC and RBC are low, and I have fractures up and down my spine. I'm 49 years old and weigh 123 pounds. Should I be worried about these symptoms and MRI findings?

My B12 level was 201 and my psychiatrist recommended a B complex supplement. My doctor suggested taking a B12 supplement at 1000mcg. Should I take just a B12 supplement or a B complex supplement along with a multivitamin?

I have been in a car accident and had an MRI scan of my cervical spine. My neurosurgeon says there is just a slight bump which will heal over time, but I believe there is more to it. I am experiencing lower cervical spine back pain and dizziness when I turn my neck. I have attached MRI images showing that C3 and C4 are curved up, unlike the rest of the vertebrae. Can you review the images and provide a second opinion?
