I was recently diagnosed with Type II Diabetes and idiopathic sclerosing mesenteritis. I am experiencing bouts of dull to severe left sided abd pain that is now being felt in my left mid-back. I have had a CT scan (2 wks ago) that says that the hazy area on my left side has worsened since the last CT scan (June 2014). I can tell that the physicians in my area are not familiar at all with the mesenteritis and really don t know how to treat me. My last HGBA1C was 6.1 and I am not on any insulin at this time as my blood sugars are always between 80-120, yet I feel a little funny after at least 1-2 small meals daily. I am becoming depressed, have lost over 50 lbs in 4 mths, and having a hard time understanding where to turn next. Is there an institute in the US that deals specifically with this type of diagnosis?

Hi. I have read and understood your query-very specific and neat. I would advise you to consult a Gastroenterologist, and he may take a help of a Cardio-thoracic Surgeon. This is going to be a multidisciplinary problem, where super-specialists of many fields will be involved. Although your diabetes is under control and HbA1c is normal, such type of mesenteric arterial stenosis is caused as a long term bad-effect of diabetes. Fortunately with the advent of stents and a role of interventional Radiologists you can certainly get a relief after putting in a stent in the artery with an occlusion. It is similar to stent in the heart arteries. Go for further investigations and management, Keep the diabetes under control with proper diet, exercises and medicines to avoid further complications. Wishing you a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Hello Doctor,I am looking for neurologist to treat my mother who is suffering from sever back pain and also neck pain. Her head/neck is shacking because of some reason. Can you please suggest me what would be the reason, and the treatment for my mother?
|
Hi, thank you for posting. I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns. Her symptoms are caused by neck arthritis. The compressed nerves by arthritis are causing the shake of the head. To treat arthritis your mother should take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as Meloxicam. Massage and chiropractic procedures can also help. Before starting the treatment your mother should confirm the diagnosis by getting the following tests done:1. Neck X-ray.2. Fibrinogen test.3. Complete blood count.4. Urine test. Ask me for anything unclear. All the best.

I have post polio. I recently completed ( 4 weeks ago) 192 hours of chemotherapy and 25 rounds of radiation. I am having a very difficult time bouncing back. Oncologist tells me the chemo is still working (my hair is still falling out but I am not getting my energy back. Could the post polio have something to do with this since i have a very high sensitivity to all drugs.
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Polio is a sequela of post infection paralysis to muscles of a limb. This is not related to chemotherapy or its outcome. The recovery after chemotherapy remains unaffected irrespective of whether a patient had polio. The polio is an irreversible paralysis due to an infection which you probably had during childhood. The manifestations of polio will no longer matter in the present scenario. Since you have weakness of muscles from before due to polio therefore it might take a little longer to get yourself in to normal physical work. This is not due to the effect of polio but a generalized reduced ability to adapt yourself for normal regular daily activities. Please do not worry.

sure i woke up with my back sore then i got a sinus pain on my right side of face my arms started to hurt bad then my spine hurt then i started body aches , drank water then sat down felt like pressure around back and front abdomen felt like my muscles were like milky
|
Hi, As there might be not any generalized symptoms of weakness unless there is a viral infection. You can try taking the paracetamol, for now, to see if any ease is happening. Because most times with just paracetamol there will be ease to the symptoms. In case there are no changes in the symptoms then we need to assess you on a clinical basis and some blood tests to be done to check out any particular pathology. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your husband have persistent fever since last 4 months which could be due to viral/ bacterial infection of body. I would suggest you nothing to worry about it. You should take NSAID medication along with antibiotic such as Levofloxacin. You should take plenty of fluids. Furthermore, you should take soft and bland food. Furthermore, you should take fresh juices in diet. Visit general physician once and get it examined. Go for blood tests as well. Start treatment after prescription. You should take proper rest. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

Hello, I have felt my pulse in my head, primarily on the left side for three weeks. Not only can I feel it, I can hear it. It is so loud that it s hard to concentrate on other things. It doesn t hurt like a headache. I have also had a drastic change in my vision in the past two months. I am able to sleep at night, but as soon as I wake up, the first thing I am cognizant of is the pulsating in my head. It is getting worse instead of better. I have a history of having had a meningioma on the left cerebella lobe peripheral, 2004. I fear this could be a sign of another brain tumor. Are there other things that could cause these symptoms?
|
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Your symptom leads more towards vascular malformation of the brain (probably rural arteriovenous fistula) so I suggest you to consult a Neurologist and discus possibility of imaging study of cerebral vascular structure with MRA or DSA. Treatment depends on these imaging studies findings. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

My husband has constant pain in his hands as well as finger joint pain. We are trying to figure out what could be causing it. It happens multiple times per week. Tests have shown no arthritis upon blood work. No change after stopping pravastatin for two weeks.
|
Hello, Is the pain he feels radiating, tingling, numbing? Is your husband diabetic or have any signs of high blood pressure? What is his job profile? Is he having job-related to more usage of wrist and finger? If the RA factor has turned negative in the reports that it is a big relief that one of the differential diagnosis has turned out negative. What is my provisional impression to the history is there can be two possible factors which need a thorough examination. One either this could be a repetitive stress injury or two it could be nerve entrapment. But as I said this is just my provisional impression and without having a thorough examination of the job profile and more details about the history I cannot conclude it which can make you panic. What I would suggest it please check these two things online or consult a doctor and see if either of one fits into the category if not then we have to re-examine the history and restart the process of diagnosis. On time being with related to treatment part, I would say try dipping hand in hot water and do wrist and finger movements. You can even use a sponge ball inside the hot water and perform squeezing activity. This should help to a good extent to control the pain symptoms until we come to a precise diagnosis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

I am having some chest pain which i never experienced before. I am now at the highest weight i have ever been in my life. Almost 200. I also am very inactive. I have asthma. I started drinking seltzer last night. I dont know what this could be, the pain i mean... because I have asthma for all my life... but am super inactive now and at my highest weight. THis has never happened. IDK what it could be if i should consider it something serious. But I want to check and not be stupid and end up in bad condition without paying attention to symptoms if this could potentially be bad. thank you for your help. i would appreciate some insight.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In obese patient, for chest pain, we need to first rule out cardiac cause (coronary artery blockage). So get done ECG and 2D Echo to rule out cardiac cause. If both are normal than no need to worry much for cardiac cause. Your symptoms can be due to worsening of underlying asthma. So get done PFT (pulmonary function test) to rule out this and start treatment accordingly. I also advice you to get done lipid profile and if you have high cholesterol and triglycerides than start lipid lowering Chat Doctor.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Viral respiratory tract infections are very common in Air conditioned spaces. Such viral infection can cause bronchitis. Best treatment for bronchitis is inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol). Since you are not taking these inhaled Chat Doctor.

my 16 yr old daughter, otherwise healthy, experienced a sharp pain when she dove into the pool last night for swim practice. she says lower lung area. today it hurts when she drinks/swallows and pain is still there. she has a cough, but could be unrelated
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion she should get done chest x-ray to rule out lung infection. Because swimming can cause aspiration of some water in lungs and this can lead to infection. Her symptoms like pain on coughing and swallowing can be due to infection. So we should first rule out lung infection. So get done chest x-ray. If chest x-ray is normal than no need to worry much. This can be due to muscle pull because of swimming. So ask her to avoid heavyweight lifting, strenuous exercise. Take Pain killer and muscle relaxant. Apply warm water pad on affected site. No need to worry, she will be alright.

I have a bulging disc and have had it for eight months, it is on the L4 L5 and also have a slipped spine on the L4, the doc will be doing surgery to get the L4 nerve out of the way since it is being compressed between bone and the disc. This is on my left side and have noticed since this happen that on the same side below my shin there appears to be a dent that goes across the bone. it is quite significant and I did not mention this to him.....should I be concerned?
|
Hi, Thanks for your query. You are having degenerative disease with L4 disc prolapse. If you are having tingling and numbness or weakness of legs, then you may need to get the offending prolapsed discs should be operated. This prolapsed disc causing pressure over your nerves. Along with that conservative measures are a must:Avoid forward bending, lifting weights. You can take painkiller and muscle relaxant combination prescribed by your doctor for pain relief like Tablet Diclofenac and Thicolchicoside twice a day. You can put hot water bottle to the painful areas for relief from muscle spasm. If the medication isn't working then you can get Epidural steroid injection in the back, to treat multiple disc prolapse. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

For the last week I ve had quick sharp pains in my left calf then moved to my left hip then to my left breast and now to my left top row of teeth... With a headache. Its so weird to me that its all on my left side. I am female 47 years of age and I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 2 years ago. Could tha be the cause of all these weird pains within a week?
|
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As you been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, this condition called fibromyalgia is an inflammation of the fibers of the muscles. The muscle is composed of numerous muscle fibers and inflammation there leads to pain. Due to inflammation of the muscle fibers there is slowing of the metabolism and also excess production of lactic acid.Also, the sharp pain in hip and calf can be related to the pinched nerve in the lumbar spine as the para spinal muscles must have got weaker. Also, taking physical therapy - Therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy should help reduce pain. But the important role will be played by the exercise as to strengthen the muscle and improve the output of the muscles. In my clinical practice such cases respond well to physical therapy. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

My husband was diagnosed last month with cholangiocarcinoma and is currently going through chemotherapy. He is on extended release morphine sulphate for pain. Initially, he was taking Miralax to fend off constipation, but his doctor changed him to Senna and, unfortunately, is now experiencing constipation . . . the Senna is not working effectively for him and he has not voided his bowels in 3 days. This AM he took Miralax again, but has had no relief. He has taken several short walks, hoping the exercise would help, but nothing so far. What other recommendations might you have for the constipation? Another dose of Miralax?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your husbands situation and problem. Probable causes of constipation in his case are morphine induced and low potassium (hypokalemia). So better to get done potassium level and if low, supplements should be started. Morphine is known to cause Constipation. Fentanyl is newer opioid Chat Doctor. So ask your doctor about this

my daughter has been ill for 3 days she began with abdoinal pains and some vominting, then she had a high temprature. then she had a headache she is eating and drinking now but still has a high temp and headache. she now has some ulcers on her mouth and lips she also looks red in the lips and gums. she appears to be ok when taking neurafen but goes down hill fast when it wears off.
|
Thank you. Probably your daughter is suffering from viral fever. Pain & vomiting has subsided, but now the problem is fever & headache. Oral ulcer may be occurred during an immunocompromised state(viral fever).continue the Chat Doctor. If the fever continuing then some common infection(enteric fever) need to be excluded.

Hi, I m on birth control and I had unprotected sex two days ago. I have missed one (two at the most) days, but remembered immediately and took it. The pill I am on allows you to do this and take your next pill as you normally would without having to use backup birth control. I am now having a brown discharge and would like to know what you think this means and if I should take the morning after pill. Thanks.
|
Hello, and I hope I can help you today. You were completely correct in following the proper instructions for what to do when you forget to take your pill. If you miss one pill but take it within 24 hours of when you forgot it, the effectiveness of the pill is not reduced, and you still rely on it as primary contraception. However, one of the side effects of taking the pill at irregular intervals is having spotting when you are not supposed to have your period. The brown discharge you see is actually very light bleeding and will usually stop within a few days after you take your pill at the same time every day. There are apps you can download (if you have a smartphone) or email programs on the internet that will send you a reminder to take your pill every day. Or a good low-tech method to help you remember is to coordinate taking your pill with something you do around the same time every day (like brushing your teeth) so you get into a daily habit. I hope I adequately answered your question and that this information was reassuring. Best wishes,

CT Scan shows a 12 mm cyst in the lower pole of the left Kidney also a 1.6 cm hypodense mass in the left adrenal gland as well a prominent extrarenal right renal pelvis is present. I have sarcoidosis in my lymph glands and my lungs . Are these cysts a concern or should I put it down to my sarcoidosis and just forget I have them?
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. A 12 mm cyst in lower pole of left kidney is not a concern. However, you might get it followed up after 6 months by ultrasound scans to know any change in size and appearance. Cysts less than 30 mm are not of much importance. If you are above 60 years of age then an occasional cyst is an expected finding in the kidneys. The 16 mm hypodense area in the left a Chat Doctor.

My wife was hospitalized for 3 days for dengue (Rash all over and joint aches but no fever) She tested positive in IGM and negative in IGG & Antigen. She was discharged 1 week back. Day by day her joint aches have returned and she particularly finds the ache in the bone leading from neck to mid chest (ribs?) unbearable. The doctor has prescribed Ultracet for aches today (twice a day) but she has no relief. Can you suggest an alternative?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. If she tested positive for IGM, it is acute infection of Dengue. Dengue is a viral infection caused by mosquito bite and is characterized by headache, fever, rash and joint pains. The joint pains will take some time to reduce at least 3-4 weeks. Attract is good enough for the pain. She can take the medications three times daily instead of twice a day. Adequate rest and local application of analgesic gel would help to some extent. Wishing her a speedy recovery. Thanks.

Hi for a few weeks now I have been feeling heart palpitations they are so strong at times it feels.like my heart is going to stop ...I was admitted to a phsych hospital because my anxiety and depression was bad after being in ers so often they diagnosed it with anxiety related because my EKG came back normal also xrays I dont know what to do backside my anxiety medications arent working I have to my psychiatrist that.klonopin,has worked in the past but she isnt allowed to prescribe narcotics there and I also dont wanna keep pushing and look like a drug seeker please help
|
Dear NilsaYou seem to know a lot but not about your body and its functions know what is palpitation and don't know why it is coming. Palpitation, sweating, trembling, goose bumps etc. are symptoms related to fear. They come when a Chat Doctor. Normal procedure when human beings fear. Understand the body mechanism logically, and you can win over anxiety. Again health conscious people have this kind of problem. Immediately consult a qualified counselor (not psychiatrist)Wish you good future.

My Dr has suggested that I have narcolepsy and is suggesting medication. I am 68 years old and had a heart attack when I was 57. My blood pressure and colestrol are being controlled by medication. Is it safe for my heart to take medication for narcolepsy?
|
If you truly have narcolepsy then, a sleep study which includes what is called a MSLT will give you the answer and would be a much better thing to do in order to verify the diagnosis rather than blindly taking medication that can affect the heart and also has other side effects that I'm sure you'd rather NOT have. If you would like a more comprehensive consultation please write me at: www.bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.

|
Hello Kyoto;welcome to Chat Doctor Duolute-L is a hormonal pill and is given to you to make your periods regular and treat POD.POD is one of the cause of infertility because most of the time the ovulation is absent or does not take place and in such cases the doctor advises camphene to induce ovulation. So if your POD is treated and your periods have become regular then you can take camphene for induction of ovulation. So finish your course of Duo lute and discuss with your doctor regarding the use of camphene and take it under the guidance of your doctor. Thanks

I HAVE ACHING BEGINNING AT MY NECK RUNNING DOWN INTO BOTH SHOULDERS AND UPPER ARMS. THE ACHING MAKES ME SOMEWHAT NAUSEOUS. THE ACHE SEEMS TO RADIATE DOWN INTO MY SHOULDERS AND ARMS WITH A WIERD NAUSEOUSNESS. ANOTHER SYMPTOM I HAVE THAT MAYBE UNRELATED, I DONT KNOW, IS I AM NOT SLEEPING AT NIGHT BECAUSE I GET TOO HOT. MY HUSBAND LYING NEXT TO ME IS NOT HOT. THE TEMP IN THE ROOM IS FINE, BUT I TOSS AND TURN FROM BURNING UP. I AM A 29 YEAR OLD FEMALE. NO RECENT INJURY TO MY NECK OR ANY PART OF MY BODY. I HAVE BEEN DEELING WITH NECK TENSION AND PAIN FOR A LONG TIME, BUT THIS ACHING IS DIFFERENT THAN EVER BEFORE.

What you are explaining is the beginning of the cervical spondylitis. Start physiotherapy with active neck exercises and see a pain specialist. You may also need to learn precautions & may need a cervical epidural

Hello, I have been having kind of a tingling feeling in my left arm and leg through to my toes lately. And today my jaw started to feel kind of funny. I have relapse remitting MS and have been told its normal with the tingling. But my 42 yr old boyfriend had a heart attach this past Sunday
|
Hi, This left arm pain and tingling may be a part of multiple sclerosis or cervical spondylosis with radiculopathy or myocardial infarction etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. use tablet Pregabalin once daily for five days. Use tablet Methylcobalamine once a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your Cardiologist/ neurophysician they will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I stubbed my smallest toe 9 days ago, iced it pretty quickly and the initial swelling and bruising subsided but cannot wear any shoes,or put any significant weight on the foot.it swells after a days activities(I have to be up and about)and still hurts. I m not totally convinced the toe is broken but good grief, I m ready for this be over. Am I just being impatient and how long does it take to resolve. I m wearing sandals in cold weather! Sorry this seems so benign but it s really incapacitating. By the way, my knee (on the same leg)is now killing me.Im hoping there s no connection. Thanks so much.
|
Hi, As per the complaint, knee pain can occur due to causes like overexertion, aging while can also be due to certain disorders like anterior cruciate ligament injury, torn meniscus, knee bursitis, tendinitis, arthritis, gout, infections, etc. I would suggest you consult an orthopedic and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like X-ray, MRI scan, blood test etc., can be done to rule out the exact cause of the pain and treatment can be done accordingly. As of now, you can take an anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxazone, apply an analgesic gel over the knees and put knee braces.

### Question: I stubbed my smallest toe 9 days ago, iced it pretty quickly and the initial swelling and bruising subsided but cannot wear any shoes,or put any significant weight on the foot.it swells after a days activities(I have to be up and about)and still hurts. I m not totally convinced the toe is broken but good grief, I m ready for this be over. Am I just being impatient and how long does it take to resolve. I m wearing sandals in cold weather! Sorry this seems so benign but it s really incapacitating. By the way, my knee (on the same leg)is now killing me.Im hoping there s no connection. Thanks so much.
### Answer: Hi, As per the complaint, knee pain can occur due to causes like overexertion, aging while can also be due to certain disorders like anterior cruciate ligament injury, torn meniscus, knee bursitis, tendinitis, arthritis, gout, infections, etc. I would suggest you consult an orthopedic and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like X-ray, MRI scan, blood test etc., can be done to rule out the exact cause of the pain and treatment can be done accordingly. As of now, you can take an anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxazone, apply an analgesic gel over the knees and put knee braces. Limit exertion as it can add up to pain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have a very sharp pain on the right lower side of my back. It is very uncomfortable if I stand up for long periods or even driving if painful. I also have other symptoms like nausea, frequent urination, headaches, fatigue, right leg numbness and weight loss. I also noticed a lump on the right side of my rib cage fairly close to where my back pain is. The lump is movable and does not hurt. However the back pain has brought me to tears twice already. I have recently quit smoking and figured I was experiencing side effects, but after some online research, im afraid its something more serious. I have been in 2 bad car accidents also, one in which I was hit very hard from the side. Just wondering what this could be so I have a better idea of what tests will be run at my doctors appt.
|
You must seek help of nephrologist and an orthopedist in an institution, probably an MRI scan for spine, kidneys (abdominal)and urine testing, blood tests shall be required to evaluate your condition before beginning treatment

my 3 year old daughter (turns 3 in august) when she sits, she sits right at the edge of the chair and will sit more on the right but cheek, bring both arms over to the right, and will kick out her left leg to the side. The left leg will then start to shake. Sometimes it will be a little shake and others it will be a lot. What could this possibly be? I ve heard it could be silent seizures but I don t want to jump to conclusions.
|
Thanx for the query. Regarding your children movements, they do not really fir into any specific type of seizures. And regarding absence(silent) seizures they are characterized by sudden vacant stare for a few seconds followed by normalization and the person does not realize that something has gone wrong. Rest assured don't worry about your daughter

i am 35, 5 9 and about 180 pounds. Just recently had a scope done on my knee to repair a torn meniscus and the dr found a dimple on my cartilge. Nothing was done at the time as the main concern was the meniscal tear but just wondering what i can do to not require any more surgery.
|
Hello, I have studied your case. As per your symptoms you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion. Due to old injury to knee there is early degeneration of knee joint.Lifestyle changes will help in reducing pain which include, VISCOSUPPLEMENTATION: Hyaluronic acid injections given into the joint (especially large joints like knee joint) in prescribed dosages will give good short term pain relief in arthritic joints ranging from 1-2 years. You need to consult orthopedic surgeon for taking it. Autologous Chen Chat Doctor. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care

Dear sir, I am Ajmal 35 years old male.I have a stone problem.I had small stones and one 14mm stones in left kidney .on 19/02/2013 I undertake an ESWL treatment.After that treatment am taking the following pills. 1)spasmo-proxyvon-1-0-1 2)flavocip-1-1-1 3)urimax-0-0-1 now I have a continuous pain in right side.after taking pills am still having pain.am taking foods are very light only.drinking lots of water too.What to do sir?
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Going by your query, you have few small stones and one big 14 mm stone in your left kidney for which you had ESL. Medicines given areSpasmoproxyvon an anti-spasmodic and pain reliever. Flavocip a urinary antispasmodic. Urimax (tamsulosin) for prostate problems. You might be knowing that ESL breaks larger stones into small portions and then these come out in urine. If your right side is paining now, I suggest you get an ultrasound scan and tell the radiologist that you have right side pain. In case of kidney stones symptoms can recur on the opposite side after a few months due to new stone formation. Hope this helps.

My right heel is numb on the back right corner....it seems to have happened the last 2 days...I did do some workouts at a gym at our office this week...wondering if anything I did could have caused it? I do sit most of the day at my desk....I try to get a walk in during the day, but don t always manage to.
|
Hello, There is a nerve that supplies feeling to the back inner corner of the heel called the medial calcaneal nerve. This nerve is sensory only and does not power any muscles. It's possible that if the workouts you were doing were new, and your shoes didn't fit quite right, that you could have irritated this nerve. This nerve isn't commonly irritated, or at least it doesn't bother people enough to come to the doctor. Perhaps you want to make sure you have good fitting exercise shoes, but I wouldn't worry either way because it will probably go away on its own. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

Hello, As I see the above-mentioned history I feel it is related to lumbar spine intervertebral disc injury and so does the symptoms of numbness, tingling and radiating pain has come. I will advise for an MRI scan of the lumbar spine, so we can understand the soft tissue pathology better. With core stability, spinal muscle strengthening exercises and lower limb strengthening exercises you pain should come down. Use hot water fermentation which will help reduce the spasm of the lumbar spine muscles. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.

Hello, As due to inflammation at the TMJ there will be trouble to the facial nerve and this could be the reason for the cause do the symptoms. I will advise getting it examined. Also, there is one more factor which works here is the trigeminal neuralgia which is little different from the facial nerve symptoms, but that also is excruciating pain. Getting it examined by a neurologist will be of advice and sooner medication will be advised. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Hi, I moved to the city for the first time in Sept. 11 (have lived in a very rural area before), and since spring began this year, I ve started to have symptoms that may be from allergies - runny nose , itchy eyes, occasionally a sore throat , even though I never showed signs of having allergies in the countryside. These symptoms have been fairly mild, so I haven t taken any medication. But today I ve been having shortness of breath for no apparent reason, and the allergy level in my city is quite high today. So I m wondering if shortness of breath can be linked to allergies. If so, what s the best course of action from here?
|
You symptoms sound like SAR or seasonal allergic rhinitis and allergic bronchitis. In this case, please get tested for allergies esp if any pollen. Use of nasal sprays and inhalers during the allergic season will keep your problem under control

Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The pain that you have described seems to be due to a prolapsed disc causing a nerve root compression at the level of spinal cord. You need to get an MRI of the lower back done to detect the cause of the pain you are having. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.

I m 28-Male.White like fluid coming during urination. Kindly advice whats the problem
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. White discharge while passing urine may be normal semen discharge. In that case there is nothing to worry. If you have history of sexual contact, then it would be a good idea to get blood test done for sexually transmitted diseases. If the whole urine is white (like rice water) then it is a condition called cholera, for which you will have to consult a urologist.

Hi, I am shantanoo and 48 year old male. For about a year i feel a pain on the left side of the chest. It is around 3 inches below the collar bone. I can feel the pain when I press on the area. Looks the pain is superficial. The pain can be felt when I press down on the collar bone also, at a place near the middle of the chest. What should I do? I have a feeling that it aggravates when I do lot of typing on the computer
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely because your pain is associated with specific body position (typing and computer work) and pressing. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain. 1. Avoid movements causing pain.2. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.3. Take simple painkiller and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. 4. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.5. Sit with proper back support.Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I have a feeling that it aggravates when I do lot of typing on the computer
### Answer: Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely because your pain is associated with specific body position (typing and computer work) and pressing. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain. 1. Avoid movements causing pain.2. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.3. Take simple painkiller and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. 4. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.5. Sit with proper back support.Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Painful skin rash on the arm. Could it be a spider bite?I have what I think is a spider bite on my thigh. It s a red ring, about 1.5 inches in diameter. It s raised and hard in the center with what looks like a white speck right in the middle. It s been there a couple of days and is painful to the touch and just a little sore. What do you think it may be?
|
Hello. Thanks for writing to us at Chat Doctor Seems like it is bacterial infection of the skin, since it is sore and probably has a central pus point. Spider bites are different, burning is a prominent feature in spider bite, and they usually do have some itching, as well. If you were one of my patients I would have treated you empirically with an oral antibiotic; one from penicillin group of Chat Doctor. That would be good enough. It is a prescription

hello,im 22 years old, weight 57 kg, height 165. my period is 4 days late and there is a porbability for pregnancy but im not sure! ive been feeling light cramping and specially in my left leg since the due date of the period but nothing comes out except few white discharge. during the intercourse there was no ejaculation of semen near the vaginal area. so could this still be a posibility of pregnancy? and when exactly should i start worrying? if my period is how many days late. thank you
|
Hello dairy understand your concerned there is ejaculation around vaginal opening then there may be chance of pregnancy because motile sperm can enter into vagina. But if you did sex during fertile phase of cycle then high chance of pregnancy. If you did sex during safe period of cycle then nothing to worry. If your period will delay by more than 7 days from normal expected period date then you think about pregnancy. If period will delay by more than 7 days then go for urine pregnancy tests and or blood Chat Doctor test to confirm pregnancy. Abdominal cramp and vaginal discharge could be due to hormonal imbalance, premenstrual cramp, pregnancy. So meanwhile avoid stress, take healthy diet, Chat Doctor.

Ive been having discomfort to the back of both knees (in the bend of the knee) for quite a while. My doctor examined me for a Bakers cyst, which was ruled out. It often feels like I need to stretch my knees, especially if I am sitting at my desk working at the computer. Oftentimes, I extend my legs to alleviate the discomfort. It really isnt painful....just very uncomfortable and annoying. Tylenol seems to alleviate the discomfort to some degree, but I really dont want to be dependent on NSAIDS for the long term. Is there a homeopathic remedy that I could consider as an option? My PCP has not been able to offer me a solution.

i had fissures problem some 8 months back at that time i take hot water bath and proctosedyl ointment at that time i got relief but from that time now and then i have a pain and burning sensation. this pain and burning sensation arises in 15 days interval . I want to ask how to get rid of this problem permanently?
|
Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. The medications and measures what you are using for the problems with fissures would give you only temporary relief. Along with it, it is also essential to avoid constipation by taking fiber rich diet and consuming stool softness along with it as it would aggravate the condition. In initial stages, the medications and conservative measures would be helpful. In case your problem persists, you need to consult Surgeon, get examined clinically and undergo fissurotomy, which would get rid of the problem permanently. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.

Hi. My daughter just told me that for the past week, when she takes a really deep breath or yawns, she gets a pain that starts above her knee and shoots down into her feet. It only lasts a second and doesn t happen when she voluntarily takes deep breath. Any ideas?
|
Hello, The pain can happen due to lack of oxygen or blood supply in the area. This can be related to a twitch also. Taking methylcobalamin supplements can help. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

My friend has spinal narrowing at the L5 Vertibrae, I think. He has been receiving injections every 6 months for the past two years (I think it is cortisone). His back is consistently getting worse with steadily increasing pain. His sister just had surgery in California for the same condition with great success. I don t know where to take him or who to take him to see. Naturally I want the best doctor in the Colorado Springs area. He is 69 years old, diabetic and severely overweight. What do I/we do???
|
Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern. If the stenosis explains the symptoms your friend can seriously consider surgery because diabetes is not a contraindication to surgery. Still, you need a neurosurgical consult to determine if surgery is needed. Hope this helps. Best regards

Im 21years 8months of old. recently because of excessive pain i got u/s for scortum and im diagnosed with bilateral Grade 1 varicocele and epididmyal cyst on the right testis.im having pain or discomfort from past one year. please teme the best solution possible, because Im afraid of ma on coming marriage life
|
HelloThanks for query. Based on your statement you have Bilateral Grade 1 Varicocele with Epididymis Cyst on Rt side. Grade one Varicocele do not require any active intervention and can be dealt with measures like wearing scrotal support, avoiding Chat Doctor. And taking mild painkillers when required. As regards Epididymis Cyst it is benign painless cyst and does not require any treatment. Monitor the grade of Varicocele by doing Ultra Sound Scanning of Scrotum every six months and get your semen analysis done to know the total sperm count to rule out Oligospermia which is deciding factor as regards surgical intervention to treat Varicocele.

I have an angiolypoma on my right kidney. It is connected to the kidney by a artery or a vein. My question is how many veins or arteries would be feeding the growth?I am 64 years old. I had an embolization done in order to shrink the tumor, but it did not do its job.

Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. If there is no improvement after enolization then surgery should be done. Veins and arteries can be resected and replaced with vascular grafts or venous grafts, so you should consult this with your urologist. It should not be delays because tumor may grow in this case. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good

What is a good alternative to metformin if you are experiencing diarrhea and are starting to have allergic reactions such as rash, hives swelling of lips. Could not relate allergy to any one food or drink and reactions are not always the same. Sometimes may be hives on legs and buttock, other times may be lip swelling or swelling on head and back of neck. Use zantac and loratidine some times with good relief, other times with minimal relief and will add benadryl.
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor You should consider formal allergy blood tests to make sure there is no other source of your allergic reaction. Allergy tests can be done for food, Chat Doctor. If it is related to the metformin you should discontinue it. Diarrhea is a common complication of metformin, but the others are not common, this is why other causes should be ruled out. There are other oral or injectable medications that can be used but none of them would be in the family of metformin. I hope this helps

I WENT TO THE DR ON TUEDSAY OF THIS WEEK. I HAVE TWO FOLICALS ON MY RIGHT OVARY THAT MEASUERED 22CM AND 24 CM THROUGH ULTRASOUND. I HAVE BEEN ON CLOMID FOR 2 CYCLES AND WAS GIVEN THE ChatDoctor TRIGGER SHOT. MY QUESTION IS, WHEN SHOULD I HAVE HAC INTERCOURSE TO CONCEIVE?
|
Hello, and I hope I can help you today. From the time you receive an Chat Doctor trigger shot, your body has been trigger to ovulate. Therefore, you should start immediately after Chat Doctor injection having intercourse daily for three days and spacing out to every other day for seven days. If your period is late, you should perform pregnancy test or see your doctor for a pregnancy test. If you produced two follicles this month, and you do not conceive, your doctor should keep you at the current dose next month, as developing follicles over 2 cm in size should result in ovulation. It is always best when going through fertility treatment to have regular intercourse just in case spontaneous ovulation occurs without the Chat Doctor trigger shot. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and I hope that you're tempted pregnancy are successful. Best wishes,

i cut my finger pretty deep yesterday with shears while cutting hair and i have been keeping it covered with a band aid but it is a "flappy" cut so every time i have to change the band aid it starts bleeding profusely again. i was told by my educator to use super glue but i dont have any i only have wood glue... what would you suggest i do?
|
Hello dear, I read carefully your problem. I think, superglue, or every kind of glue should not be putted to your wounded finger, or it may get infected and complicate the wound more. Depending on how long your wound is, you may need one of the above treatments:1) If its more than 1 cm long cut, it will need to put 1-2 stitches in it. You have to go to the doctor for this, as it needs sterile (very clean)conditions.2) If its bleeding because its deep, but no longer then 1 cm, then you can find steri-strips in the pharmacy, and they will stabilize the would so it won't be flappy anymore, so the bleeding will stop. Some other things that you should do, is to use a non-adherent gauze to Chat Doctor. Hope this helps, Take care.

I m a 16 year old male, I have arm pit hair, pubic hair, and a little bit of facial hair. My penis and testicles are small, almost like a baby, I m, 5ft 10inches, weighing 250lbs., recents doctors say I m big boned and a healthy weight for me is 200lbs. When will my penis grow
|
The length of your penis is not mentioned in the question, however it is not very important that you have a very long reproductive organ. You need not have that complex that you have a very small penis. The average erect penile length is about 12.8 to 15 CMS when completely erect. Also, as you are 250 lbs, you find your penis to be small when is flaccid position. You can try to reduce your body weight, if you smoke or Chat Doctor.

My question is how is this suppose if my gall bladder is gone? Can I still develop gall stones?

Hi.what you're probably experiencing is post-operative pain or discomfort. This usually occurs on the first few days after your surgery and will eventually subside. The pain/discomfort after gallbladder surgery occurs not only the post-operative site area, but also over your flanks and sometimes back region. Complete your antibiotics as prescribed and take your pain medications as needed. A follow-up with your surgeon is also best for clinical evaluation. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

I had a lower lumbar fusin about 5 years ago, DR. told me then my neck was worse than my back, but my neck did not hurt then. I have been having numbness in my left leg, feelings of tingleing in same leg at times, my left hand , the tendons in it are sticking up, and the twofingers cramp up and very painful at times, all this on left side only. My neck on left side makes large popping noises. Should I see the orthopedic DR or just my internest, pain in left shoulder and back very bad
|
I read your question and I understand your concern. Spinal changes in lumbar and cervical region often go hand in hand so since it was in no good condition 5 years ago its no big surprise your neck is causing trouble now. The symptoms are related to nerve root or spinal cord compression by these structural changes. As for who to see first, initial medical therapy is fairly standard with painkillers and physical therapy, but since you might have tried these before and are known to have advanced changes already, an MRI evaluation and orthopedic/neurosurgical consult is recommended. I hope to have been of help.

My dog bite a woman when she was 12 weeks pregnant. Broke the skin on her face. She was taken to the ER and treated. Her baby girl was just born 2 weeks ago and she has two holes in her heart and a weak heart valve. Doctors say there is nothing they can do. Could this be an effect of the dog bite?
|
Welcome to the ChatDoctorIts very unlikely to be the effect of dog bite. Dog bites are usually managed by anti rabies vaccines and immunoglobulins. Also, in cases of wounds, stitches may be required under antibiotic cover. There are medicines which are safe in pregnancy and are used by doctors if they know that the patient is pregnant. Congenital heart diseases are the most common congenital anomalies in newborns. It's really sad to hear about the baby. But some things cannot be changed. So, don't worry and stop blaming yourself. Take care

Hi young man! There is nothing majorly wrong with you. You are basically overeating to overcome depression. Try to go out and mingle with people and make new friends. Indulge yourself in outdoor sports so that you end up making new friends. Try to exercise, meditate,read self-help and other books. I am sure you will overcome your problem if you follow this advice. But even after this you don't find any change in your problem than speak with your family and get a professional help by consulting a psychologist or a counselor. I am sure you will be positive and overcome this transient problem. I hope this information is useful to you. I wish you all the best and a great future ahead. Chat Doctor.

HelloThanks for query. Intermittent severe pain in abdomen is mostly due to presence of impacted stone either in kidney or ureter and needs to be investigated. Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.1) Urine routine and culture.2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis In the meanwhile take broad spectrum antibiotics like Definite along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkalizer thrice daily. Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report. Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician. Ensure to Chat Doctor. To keep your urine dilute This will help to control dysuria. Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis as regard size of the stone, site of the stone and degree of obstruction it has caused.

hello I was told I had planter fascia over 18 mnths ago then assumed that a heal spur was causing the pain. Sometimes the pain in my heal is excruciating when I stand from rest or as my shift progresses ( I work in disabilities) most severe pain is in my right foot I also for over twelve months have pain in the left of my neck that has waves of severity xrays show nothing on the neck
|
Hello, Thank you for contacting me at "Ask a Doctor". I will try to answer your question to the best of my ability. The treatment for plantar fasciitis involves stretching the calf area, applying ice, taking several medications such as ibuprofen. Seeing a physical therapist can also help. Bone spurs are very common and in themselves do not usually cause pain. Most of the pain from plantar fasciitis comes from the soft tissues. Sometimes for severe plantar fasciitis I will prescribe a night splint. Surgery is almost never indicated for this condition. As regards the neck issue, it sounds as though this might be soft tissue in origin, particularly if your x-rays are negative. You could be experiencing mild muscle spasm or a simple strain of the soft tissues in the cervical region. It might be a good idea to pay a visit to a physical therapist who can teach you some stretches and some exercises to do at home. If your neck feels stiffer than simple applications of heat will help. I hope this information is useful for you. Please do not hesitate to message us back if you have any further questions. Best wishes, A Chat Doctor.

I had a kidney infection in September last year and it went away after taking the 14 days worth of antibiotics. It came back after a few days then. I went back to the doctor in October to find I had another UTI (again with a high fever of 102 or 103 and burning when urinating). After that round of antibiotics it didn t fully go away. I still had a slight burning when urinating and after the urine and culture tests, I no longer had a UTI. I then had few STD tests done and were all negative. Now in January I still have painful urination and just started to get painful bumps around my vagina and clitorus. I have been with the same man (husband) for 10 years and have had 2 children (August of 2010 and June of 2012). I recently got my period he first time in Decemner after having my second child and noticed it now hurts to use a tampon . Please help me. I don t know what else to do.

Hi young lady, welcome to Chat Doctor. You seem to be getting recurrent urinary infection after your second pregnancy. There could be a few reasons for this. You will need to consult your GP/ Family physician and get a few tests arranged first - Urine routine and culture (mid-stream urine please) and Ultrasound of Kidneys and bladder (pre- and post-emptying the bladder) at the very least. Some people tend to develop bladder diverticula or tend to retain some urine in bladder even after they think they have emptied it. Any stagnant urine is a good culture medium for bugs! I am not sure what these lumps you mention are - best to check out with a gynecologist. I don't want to just make some assumptions without examining someone and cause you to worry. It could be infection, warts, or something called endometriosis, or something else. Only after examination (and tests like a smear or biopsy) can we identify the problem. You have been with only one partner for past 10 years, but you are never sure of the other person are you! I am not suggesting anything, but want you to get examined by an appropriate specialist asap and not neglect this.

Hello Doctor,I am 33 male and have the following problems:Clinical Indication: left side numbness upper extremity and lower extremity.Comparison: Non available. FINDINGS:The alignment of the cervical spine is normal. The vertebral body heights are disk spaces are well maintained. A small osteophyte is seen at the inferior endplate of C5 There is mild narrowing of the left neural foramina due to posterior ostephytes specifically at C3 and C4 level. The right side is remarkable. INTERPRETATION: Mild narrowing of the left neural foramina of the left C3 and C4 that can explain the patient s numbness. Otherwise, unremarkable cervical spine. Question: Are these serious? Can I lift anything? How often can I bend my head forward to read a book or study? Could you give me some idea about limitations and anything that I should know? Thank you.
|
For these ailments you need following things to be done1) neck para spinal muscle strengthening exercise 2) tablet pregabalin 75 mg one at night3)intermittent cervical traction these things will cure your symptoms. You can read books with proper posture no matter how long you want to carry on

Hello, My dad recently dx with ESRD, started dialysis a week ago. He has comorbidties, CHF, DM, MI(3 weeks ago). Need angio, unable to have this done because he of fluid retention. He has had 18L of fluid pulled off over the past 2.5 weeks. He is having such extreme abdominal cramping x 5 days. Abd. Exray -, labs stable. He has had a productive cough x 1 week. No cx done. I m in Vegas, my parents are in MI. I just left 1.5 weeks ago. He s worsening, I m a nurse, I think he s dying am I over reacting? Do I need to go back? What are possible reason for abdominal spasm? I ve seen patients respond this way as the body adjust to major fluid shift. I m so uncertain. I just need a clue, please advise. Thanks
|
**1. People with ESD and having diabetes and undergone dialysis can have possible complication of hyperosmolar state and/or infection [peritonitis] which can be possible causes of abdominal spasm.2. Since MI [myocardial infarction] CHF [congestive heart failure] are example of hyper catabolic conditions thus could be associated factor for abdominal spasm3. Attending Doctor(s) are in better position to evaluate the cause and condition. [since ABD. X-ray and Lab investigations came normal]

I am 63 and I have gallstones, I have started noticing upper arm pain and upper leg pain mostly at night, plus I have a hard time bending over. I work a part time job that requires some lifting at times and the next day i have pain. I have lost over 50 pounds on a very low or almost fat free diet to help my gallbladder problem. Any ideas?

Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for the query. There is diet for people with gallbladder and liver problems, but the best solution would be surgery since this is permanent treatment. Everything else is not so efficient, so you may have problem with it in the future. In every case you need to eat fewer fats, avoid coffee and alcohol, avoid overeating and Chat Doctor. Wish you good health. Regards

### Question: I am 63 and I have gallstones, I have started noticing upper arm pain and upper leg pain mostly at night, plus I have a hard time bending over. I work a part time job that requires some lifting at times and the next day i have pain. I have lost over 50 pounds on a very low or almost fat free diet to help my gallbladder problem. Any ideas?

hello my name is amrita . i m 29 years old woman i have a 1 year child since 1 month im getting very veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy oily skin after ing a child my skin became normal but since last month i m very upset b cs my skin has become very oliy. what is cause and what ia parment solution
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Skin types vary from person to person and in some individuals, it tends to be very oily. This occurs due to excessive oil secretion by the oil glands on the face. One of the causes for this is excessive washing of the face. When you wash your face too many times, it strips the natural oil from the face and paradoxically increases the activity of the oil glands to compensate for the loss of natural oils. Wash your face with a cleanser containing 2% salicylic acid twice a day. Do not use thick creams. Avoid oiling your hair. Avoid fried foods and foods with high glycemic index. Hope this helps you. Take care.

I had unprotected intercourse friday night and me and my boyfriend were both not mentally there, alcohol. i dont remember if he came inside me and he says he doesnt think he did, but i do remember him pulling out and ejaculating. I dont know if he did inside as well though and im concerned. I took the morning after pill about 12 hours after and again about 70 hours after. I know thats bad but im just so scared. Can i still be pregnant? Ive been feeling sick lately as well. Im not sure if thats due to the plan b or pregnancy body changes.
|
Hi, I think there is very little chance of pregnancy. So don't get stressed too much. If your periods delay, do a urine pregnancy test at home. If positive consult a doctor if you don't want pregnancy. If negative wait for your periods. Symptoms can be due to emergency pill also. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Chat Doctor.

My mother has few lumps in the throat area, which the doctor diagnose typhoid cancer. My mother is about 75 years old. Doctor advise to operate as the cancer cell has not spread. How do I know whether the cancer has not spread and because of her age even though she is healthy, after the operation how do we know whether it will not affect her quality of life which she enjoy now
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Thyroid cancer can be diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology and ultrasound thyroid. Ultrasound of thyroid gives exact site and location of cancer, and it gives idea whether cancer has spread or not. Treatment and prognosis depends on type and stage of cancer. However, you should go for surgery. It is required in all types. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Hello. My mom has been in extreme pain for 5 days now with what she says is kidney stones. She did pass one last year after about 5 hours, and she says the pain is the same, so she "knows" that it is stones again. However, she now has a very sore throat and says she is just getting a cold. Do I need to be worried?
|
Hi, I am sorry to know about your mothers condition. She is probably having a stone in the ureter (the tube connecting kidney with bladder). Since it is a very painful condition and can affect kidney function and/or general condition, it is very important that she gets medical attention as soon as possible. There are excellent medicines which can control the pain within minutes. However, I cannot prescribe them online. Once you get a confirmation of diagnosis using ultrasonogram and urine microscopy testing, your treating physician will be able to sole the problem very quickly. A single dose of over the counter pain medication can be given for emergency (if she does not have pre-existing liver or kidney disease). Make her Chat Doctor. I am available for further guidance at any point of her treatment. Wish your mother a speedy recovery, Best regards,

Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. It sounds like some congenital liver animal disorder and usually this is not harmful at all and it won't cause serious consequences. But you should rule out some other more serious liver conditions such as hepatitis or autoimmune disorders. Also gallbladder stones can cause periodic jaundice as well. Hepatic diet and certain medicines may be helpful, but the right causes hold be established by extensive work up before any treatments you good health. Regards

My father has been diagnosed with cholesterol deposit in gall bladder and cyst in the liver. He frequently suffers from pain in the stomach, legs and used to be heavy smoker so has smokers cough as well. Is the high LDL and cycst in liver (which was present in an ultrasonography done two years ago as well) a cause for concern?
|
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. In most cases these spots are benign growths such as cysts or hematomas. Hematoma is very small and this can't cause such symptoms unless larger than 10 cm. He should do MRI SCN or liver biopsy to find what type of lesion it is. Less common this may be malignant issues such as hepatocellular carcinoma. His abdominal pain may not be related to liver spots at all. It may always be sign of some other issues such as IBD or gastritis. If these are just simple liver cysts then I don't think this is causing his symptoms. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.

Hello ,Dec. Of 2013 a 75 / 85 lb heater fell from the ceiling a 12 inch screw struck across my shoulder and the heater fell into my arm, I have a tear in my rotor cuff and nerves damaged in my arm and hand I ve been receiving therapy how long does nerves take to repair
|
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. It is sad to hear that a big object fell on your shoulder directly. I hope there are no burns to a greater extent. God bless us all. Coming to your query. You have damaged the rotator cuff muscles and the nerve as well. Now first thing we need a thorough deep neuromuscular assessment of the injured area. What is the status of the motor movements and also the sensation in the area and beneath it. To understand this better a Neuromuscular assessment will help to figure out the possibility of the regaining of the motor and sensory functions. Understanding that the healing of the nerve depends on the grade of the nerve injury. Also, by understanding the NCV test we can still estimate the possible causes and benefits to achieve by exercises. How is the rotator cuff status? Are you having a good mobility now, or it is stiff shoulder now? Without having a thorough assessment it will be a blind comment which is possible. Undergoing physical therapy will help improve the nerve by electrical stimulation and exercise. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

Hello, Nocturnal erection is normal, natural and up to one extent it is not a disease. The penis pain could be due to infection. Therefore, I suggest consulting a urologist for physical examination, diagnosis and treatment. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

my 3 year old grandbaby ran into table 2 weeks ago. had goose egg lump on her forehead. lump was gone in a day or two. 2 weeks later I can feel a vein where the injury occurred. can also see it on her forehead when looking at it. she has been acting perfectly normal the whole time. I can just see this vein kind of sticking out when it was not there before. anything to worry about?
|
Hi..... You need not worry about the prominent vein. It would have been an underlying Hematoma which has made the vein more visible and prominent. If the kid is not having incessant vomiting or abnormal behavior or loss of consciousness or seizures or watering from nose and ears are bleeding from nose and ears then you need not worry about the head injury.

I understand a lot of people deal with this dizziness if they get up to fast but I think mines worst. Like when I get up, I have a blurry vision and sometimes even total blackout, my body feels week. The back of my head feels warm and tingly, it was weird but I could still stand up and even walk. It clears out in a few seconds and I couldnt actually recall what I did during that temporary blackout. I googled it and the signs are very much alike to this disorder, called presyncope? Am I correct? Is it dangerous? Is it a brain trauma? Does it have anything to do with anxiety disorder?
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Your symptoms are indeed suggestive of presyncope. As such, it is not dangerous, however, we need to find out the underlying cause. This could be related to low BP or fall in BP when standing (postural hypotension). Please also check your blood hemoglobin level, as low hemoglobin can cause similar symptoms. Anxiety can contribute to the symptoms. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/

I have had pain in my lower right abdomen for about 5 weeks now. 5 weeks ago I went to the emergency room because they thought it may be my appendix but it was just lose fluid, but they didn t know what kind of fluid. The next night we went back and they checked my blood and said nothing was wrong but they didn t take another xray or anything. I do have anxiety and I have had stomach aches from that before but this is different before it was an ache in the center of my stomach like butterflies but now this time it is in the lower right of my stomach and it is now starting to be slightly on my left so I was just wondering if you could think of any main things it could. thanks

Hi. Thanks for your query. Your history is rally classical as if from the text-books. The pain had been in the center of the abdomen and shifted to the right lower abdomens is very classical of appendicitis. Appendicitis, even though a common surgical problem can present in many forms and is really very difficult in many cases. Usually a high resolution ultrasonography helps in a diagnosis and CT scan is confirmatory in almost all the cases. I would advise seeing a Gastroenterologist and request for a CT scan of the abdomen to get a proper diagnosis. If this is appendicitis, you have to undergo appendectomy operation as it is already late. Left sided mild pain can be due to spread of infection to this part of the abdomen.

HI For the 2nd time in as many months, my husband s bottom lip swellsed up 2 to 3 times its normal size. He has no symptoms other than that - no itching, headache, flushing or any normal symptoms of an allergic reaction.It happened this afternoon after a normal lunch - roast beef and swiss sandwhich, pickle, a few chips and a Dr. Pepper to drink. He took a Benedryl when he got home about a half hour ago, but the swelling hasn t gone down yet.
