What Causes A Pulling Sensation In The Head?
Question: Hello, My mother is facing a pulling sensation in the head since almost 3 years now. The pulling sensation is also accompanied by a pulling sensation in the left toes. We have visited a neurologist and have done a CT/MRI scan and the doctor says that the reports are normal. We have also visited an orthopaedic doctor who after looking at the scans reported normalcy. However the pulling sensation continues. Currently she is on certain pain killing medications but wish to find a solution for this problem due to which it is difficult for her to read or perform any task.
