My wife, 63 years old, has been experiencing memory loss and has been diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome due to two concussions. Her memory loss is getting slightly worse, and she is using Adderall and Membrin supplements. We had an MRI done, and I have questions about the MRI report: 1) Does the MRI confirm the diagnosis of post-concussion syndrome? 2) What do the radiologist's impressions mean in layman's terms? 3) What are the treatment options?

I just started prednisone for skin issues, but it's making my anxiety and depression worse. I'm taking 20 mg a day for 7 days and then 10 mg for 7 days. Can I stop it abruptly, and is there anything I can do to mitigate the side effects?

I have burning pain in my feet and my fingertips get painfully cold. The foot pain started over a year ago and is constant, sometimes worsening, even at night. The pain feels like hot pins and needles. I had throat cancer 6 years ago and underwent radiotherapy, but now my life and diet are very healthy. I have had normal blood tests, including B12 and folate levels, and no other chronic conditions. I take a B-complex vitamin and have no history of arthritis or spine injury. What could be causing this pain, and what further tests should I consider?
