I really thought I had broken it so went to have a xray. xray was clear but the doctor said he thought I did jarr my arm quite badly. I have tried to move it each day but the muscle has decreased and it is very painfull in certain positions. and over night it becomes very sore and stiff. what damage do you think i have done. Thank you. I am a very young and fit 56 year old Doctor: Hello, You might have injured some tendon or ligament in the arm. X-ray can not detect soft tissue injuries like tendon and ligament. Consult an orthopedic and plan for an MRI scan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain"

I cannot sleep for more than 5 hours and can only sleep on my sides. my stomach always feel bloated, I have irregular period. I skipped my period for over 2 months, then I have some kind of blood for over 3 weeks (brownish blood) and it smells Doctor: Hi, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from chronic backache. It may be due to vitamin and trace element deficiencies specially vitamin D and vitamin B 12. You need to done MRI to rule uot other causes.Back exercises, neurotropics such as mecobalamine and analgesics (DICLOFENAC 100 MG SLOW RELEASE TABLETS) give relief. Sometimes vitamin D deficiency can aggravate this so serum vitamin D test is advised if it is low than vitamin D supplementation will be required. Avoid long continuous standing. Sit in a straight posture. Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily.You are also having bleeding problem .You may require iron preparation as blood loss may cause iron deficiency.You also has foul smelling discharge indicating infection , so you may need antibiotics to control it after culture and sensitivity.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care."

Doctor: Hi..Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..As per your complain pain in inner thigh that is occurring on crossing the legs can be most probably due to strained or stretched Adductor muscle that is an inner thigh muscle..It might have gut injured during running, stretching etc..Other causes can be Inguinal hernia,Pubic dysfunction,Osteoarthritis, kidney stones etc.I would suggest you to consult an Orthopedician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Palpation tests, x ray, MRI Scan, Electromyogram, blood tests etc can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..In case if it is due to muscle strain you can be advised to take anti-inflammatory painkillers, muscle relaxants, warm compresses, physiotherapy under trained Physiotherapist, massage therapy etc can be advised to relieve.Avoiding strenuous exercises can help in faster healing.In case if it is due to other causes treating the underlying cause can relieve..Hope this information helps..Thanks and regards.Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora."

When these patients were followed over a period of next 30 months then about 70% of them were pain-free and had an improvement in angina. However around 27% required repeat angioplasty with about 80% success rate while 15-20% were complicated by re-infarction and only 4-6% with cardiac death. In my opinion proceed with angiography to help determine the extent of blockage and to decide about the options available. Make sure the medications compliance post-procedure as this is crucial. Stay blessed."

Doctor: Hello, Welcome to the forum. I can understand your concern for the symptoms from which you are suffering. It is good to learn that you are aware of your condition and interested to get well. You are unable to detect the taste of food since a few days, this is a medical condition called ageusia. It can be due to some problem in your olfactory organ. Most of the time people suffering from ageusia have associated smell problems. If you are unable to smell your food properly automatically the food will taste bland. You need to be examined by an Otolaryngologist or ENT specialist and get a general clinical examination done to diagnose your problem if any. Maintain a good oral hygiene. Use an antiseptic mouth wash after and before each meal. Change your brush buy a new brush with soft bristles, do not forget to floss your teeth. Get your dental problems treated if any. Be cautious if food tastes bland you will slowly start losing health. Change your lifestyle. Eat what you like. Make food colourful, presentation should be good. Use spices, visit restaurants for a change, visit supermarkets to chose your own food, you can consult a doctor and take some enzymes to trigger your taste and appetite. You should also eat papayas they will help your liver function well and trigger your taste buds. Sugarcane juice is equally good. You should have a few blood tests done to rule out any diseased state of your liver. Liver is the main organ of your body. Take fiber rich food, keep bowels clean. Stay well hydrated with soups, juice, water and re-hydrating fluids. Take dietary supplements and vitamin E after consulting your doctor. You are already acquainted with your wife's problem, it should not affect you. Visit libraries, friends, coffee shops, brisk walk in the mornings. Eat well and stay fit. Have a nice day, take care.

Looked like a typical diaper rash -- red patchy rash. But when I changed his diaper a couple of hours later, I noticed that he developed these red, pin prick type bumps around his privates. So I put lots of aquaphor. Next diaper change I noticed that he had more red bumps and they were spread all over his groin and making their way up to his belly and tops of his legs/hips. Shortly after is when I discovered it s all over his neck, chest, back, his underarms and on his forehead. It looks like it s slowly spreading down his back to his buttocks.

Doctor: A hip fracture can occur and someone can still walk on it. This is far more likely with age and cancer. so, an x ray and evaluation is recommended for someone whose hip pain stays more than a few hours after a fall.

When I push it with my finger pus comes out of my gum at the bottom center of my tooth it doesn t hurt I ve been to the dentist but they have no idea what it is. Doctor: Hello and thank you for your question. Based on what you have described you have either a perio or a dental abscess. This is causes either by a severe infection below the gum line associated with the gingiva around the tooth or due to a tooth that has has the nerve die and is now necrotic. Since the nerve is dead, you don't have any feeling in it and you won't experience pain. The reason why it doesn't hurt is because the abscess is draining and there isn't a build up of pressure. You need to go to a dentist to get it evaluated and determine the origin of the infection to have it treated. If you went to a dentist and they have no idea what it is, then I strongly encourage you to find another dentist and get evaluated. Most dentist know what this is right off the bat. This is normally treated by root canal on the tooth, extraction or periodontal surgery with scaling, debridement and antibiotics. Best wishes and good health Dr. Ward"

Melacare cream is a combination of 3 active ingredients tretinoin, hydroquinone and mometasone. Tretinoin as well as hydroquinone have inherent irritant properties and may cause irritation when applied on to face, specially in those who have sensitive skin.I would suggest a moderately potent topical steroid e.g fluticasone propionate cream, to be applied twice daily over the affected area for a few days. That would take care of the irritant dermatitis.Thereafter, you may use a kojic acid based cream to fade away the tan.Always use a broad spectrum sunscreen, throughout the day to prevent further sun induced darkening.Regards"

Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.MRSA is spread by contact. So, you could get MRSA by touching another person who has it on the skin. Or you could get it by touching objects that have the bacteria on them. Babies have weak immune system so they are more at risk in the first place.Treatment which I usually prescribe to my patients is Clindamycin 450mg per oral 3times for 10days.If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile. You can also attach Lab reports and pictures with direct question.May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead.

Other than that applying sunscreen daily half an hour before you are going out and reapplication in 3-4 hours if you are continuously in sun for long hours is quite helpful. Most importantly have a good diet with fruits and vitamins.In between you can use good concealers which can mask the acute effect of pigmentation.All the best."

For immediate relief have some pain killer along with a muscle relaxant for 3-5 days depending upon the pain and symptoms and have proper bed rest for a week. Do not lie down on soft mattress use hard one instead, Do not strain your self or over exert. U can also apply some good anti inflammatory pain killer gel on your back.

It is 5 months since I started to suffer from a severe inflammation in the prostate area. I went to 4 urologists (to each new one I show the drugs suggested by the others) , I consumed all kind of antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs without success, and I'll be infinitely thankful is you provide me with some feed-back. The problem started thus:-during masturbation I felt a sudden and severe pain in the right area bellow the right testicle (mid way to the anus), and after ejaculation I found some little blood in the semen. I didn't give too much heed to the case; however the pain in that area persisted.-after 3 days I masturbated again and found the semen color brown.1/ doctor: I went to see doctor (a generalist because there is no urologists in the little town I dwell in) who after examining me with echography told me that I have inflammation in the prostate. He gave two drugs (anti-inflammatory+ antibacterial), I completed the treatment without any bettering.2/ urologist:then I went to see the first urologist I a neighboring city who after a thorough examination (echography+ external examination+ \"toucher rectal\") said there is an inflammation in the prostate and gave me some drugs (anti-inflammatory+ antibiotics). But after 20 days of treatment there was no bettering, I returned to see him again, and he give me other drugs. Again after completing the treatment without success I went to see him again, he then re examined me and said there is nothing wrong with the prostate and give me another anti-inflammatory. But again with no success.3/urologist:By that time I started to feel some strange sensations in the prostate itself, so I went to see another urologist who after examinations (echography+ external examination+ \"toucher rectal\"+blood and urine analysis ) said there is nothing wrong and give me no drugs at all!!4/ urologist:I went to see another urologist in the capital Rabat, who after examination (echography+ external examination+ \"toucher rectal\") said there is an inflammation and give two new drugs (anti-inflammatory+ antibiotic). But after 20 days of treatment there was no bettering, so went to see him again, and he give me another antibiotic which I consumed for 20 days without success.5/ urologist:Two weeks ago I went to another doctor who, like the others, after examination (echography+ external examination) said there seem nothing serious and give me two drugs I am still consuming….without bettering.So as you expect, I am in a miss…I still feel pain the area bellow the right testicle + a kind congestion and perturbation in the prostate itself ( I urinate normally)…I don't know what to do..and the problem started to cause me depression… ??????????????? Doctor: Hello,You should consult your doctor for physical investigation on testicle pain. Blood during masturbation is normal and nothing to worry about it. 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. Regards, Dr. K. V.

Chronic kidney Disease (CKD) is the gradual loss of kidney function. Since how long is he on Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)? You should be taking to his NEphrologist so that he can examine him and suggest any rescheduling in PD. It is common for a CKD patient to have loss of appetite, not to worry. He will require few blood tests to see for the amount of wastes in his blood and also the hemoglobin level. If the test results show that the dialysis schedule is not removing enough wastes, your doctor may change the dialysis routine. This might involve changing the number of exchanges, increasing the amount of solution used for each exchange or using a dialysis solution with a higher concentration of dextrose. In addition to this, he should be eating right amount of food, low in sodium and phosphorus. Kindly consult a dietitian for this so that he/she can develop a diet plan suiting his weight, personal preferences, remaining kidney function and other medical conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Finally, he should be taking his medications as directed by his Doctor for achieving the best possible results and go for regular follow up. I Wish him Good Health, Take Care."

One is called Virtual colonoscopy , done with the help of more modern fast multislice CT Scans where only air is insufflated, no actual tube is passed.

Otherwise you can prefer immunotherapy either with subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) or sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT).For the present symptoms you can take Tab Montek LC which helps to control the symptoms, but it is temporary. You need to avoid these dust allergens to protect yourself from getting these allergy symptoms.Thank you."

Doctor: I doubt that your acoustic neuroma could cause the problem you're indicating. Your symptoms are more consistent with what could be referred to as a transient ischemic attack or TIA. Some people may use \"ministroke\" which I find very misleading since this is very inaccurate and not standardized. I think that you should make an appointment to either see your primary doctor or a neurologist as soon as possible and discuss what happened. It will be to their discretion as to how you should proceed but a warning like this (if it was a TIA) should not be ignored. It's a heads up to something more dramatic which could be avoided if you could know more information. Immediately stop smoking cigarettes or engaging in lifestyle habits of risk, keep yourself well hydrated at all times, if you are diabetic make sure your control is optimum and don't be lax about following the strictest instructions by your doctor regarding fingersticks, sliding scale insulin injections, diet, and exercise.

You have a problem for the last 4 weeks, that you have been suffering from Vomiting of White thick foamy stuff, and pain in abdomen; can not eat anything else other than bread.

This can be just due to constipation, blockage of the colon by fecoliths or cancer or any other pathology like stricture and so on. I would advise you the following:Investigations first as treatment can cause more problems if the diagnosis has not been done. -X-ray of the abdomen in standing position.-CT scan of the abdomen to understand the pathology. -Once clinical evaluation is done, cleaning of the colon by enema, oral peglac like osmotic cathartic and then colonoscopy.-Barium studies if no acute obstruction-Once the diagnosis has been made, the treatment can be planned according to the findings and can be a surgery."

After being released I was put on 56 days of broad spectrum antibiotics. Another MRI was conducted in June and it was determined the infection had destroyed the disk. A spinal biopsy was performed and it concluded the infection was gone. Another MRI was performed in July and I was told the body seems to be absorbing the disk. My question is: How long will this pain continue. I have sciatica pain running down my leg and cannot stand more than 15 minutes at a time without having to sit down. It has affected every aspect of my life and I see no end in site. There doesn t seem to be much improvement over the last 3 months. I am not taking any medications. Will any type of exercise help with the pain? Doctor: I went through your explanation and I realize you have done a lot treatment but you have never visit a physiotherapist for your pain. In general we can not suggest exercise because your case is not general back pain or sciatica. Since it is a result of spinal infection and later the disc degeneration. I suggest visit a good physiotherapist with all your report. Explain your history and then show the report. I believe based on this physiotherapist will guide you for some treatment (therapy) as well will also suggest a specific exercise therapy. And I am sure this will be helpful to you for getting relief from your pain.At home you can also use hot and cold pack to have temporary relief by reducing inflammation and giving sothinga effect at affected area.Take care."

He is going through a break up and has been a little depressed so it might be a part of this sudden reoccurrence? Wht do you suggest? Doctor: hi thee, thanks for asking. Depression and heat stroke are not related to each other. The only thing which may be a factor is that depression causes less appetite and feeling of thirst, so the people who are depressed, may drink less water. It makes them more vulnerable to heat stroke. I wish him and the family a good health."

This will not prevent pregnancy, because sperms can swim up into the uterus even if it is in contact with your vagina for few minutes. Lie down after contact for 10 to 15 minutes. Letsi tablets help in the growth of your follicles and induce ovulation. So, it increases the chance of pregnancy. You can track your ovulation by repeated ultrasound or ovulation detection kits. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. It will increase chances of your pregnancy. Hope I have answered your question."

Doctor: Hello,Welcome to HCM and thank you for the query.I understand your concern. A doctor is a professional who does not judge you and you do not have to be ashamed to see him/her. A single dose of 400mg of ofloxacin used to be considered sufficient for gonorrhea. In 2007, the CDC changed their gonorrhea treatment guidelines to remove single-dose fluoroquinolones from the recommended list. Fluoroquinolone-resistant strains have been identified around the world, including in many areas of the U.S. The prevalence of fluoroquinolone-resistant gonorrhea in California went from less than one percent of infections in 1999 to over 20 percent in 2003. It would be much more now. I do not use quinolones in gonorrhea management. The most effective medicine I have found in my practice is a single injection of Ceftriaxone. This is combined with azithromycin to overcome resistance, if any, to a single drug.Take Care and learn to practice safe sex.Dr Noble Zachariah"
