Back 7

Injury to the brain caused by a blow or impact, loss of consciousness, dizziness, vomiting, and shock can result

Back 9

Condition in which the myelin sheaths covering peripheal nerves are destroyed, resulting in episodic seizures, convulsions muscle spasms and loss of consciousness can occur

Chronic autoimmune disease affecting the brain and spinal cord; the body attacks and destroys the myelin sheaths around the brain and spinal cord nerves.

Front 17

Neuralagia

Back 17

Intense pain caused by irritation to a nerve

Front 18

Damage to the spinal cord due to trauma can result in paraysis of certain area's of the body, parplegia reffers to paralysis from the waist down, quadriplegia reffers to paralysis from the shoulders down.

Front 22

Transient Ischemic Attack

Back 22

Temporary interfernece with blood and oxygen supply to the brain, also called a mini stroke....
