I have a swollen lymph node in my neck, should I be concerned?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

I have a swollen lymph node in my neck, it has been there since April (it is now Sept). It is small, well less than 2cm and probably less than 1cm. It is not painful and if it is growing it is growing very slowly. I had my primary physician look at it a few weeks ago and he did not seem concerned. I am not tired, I have my normal energy levels, I have not had any sudden weight loss, and no night sweats. The only thing that concerns me is that I have a rash on top of my feet and I am itchy in places. Should I be concerned?

I was diagnosed with transient osteoporosis but for having this constant pain for about 5 years the diagnosis was changed to multifocal nonbacterial osteitis?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

I have constant pain in feet and hands. At first I was diagnosed with transient osteoporosis but for having this constant pain for about 5 years the diagnosis was changed to multifocal nonbacterial osteitis. Test results: Normal X-rays, normal ultrasound, normal CT, severe bone oedema in multiple bones in feet on MRI, changing to different bones with each MRI, that being in the talus, cuneiform, cuboid, navicular and metatarsals. Full blood count, thyroid, Calcium, etc and HLA-B27 normal. Please help so I can get the right treatment. Pain has started in both hands about a month ago.

Had upper right absinthe pain for 3 month’s now. Tenderness below rib area and ache. Had ultrasound sound, all clear. Bloods fine. Chest x Ray clear. Have lost mother 5 weeks ago. Doc says its stress and anxiety which I do worry constantly. and won’t refer for mri as previous tests fine. On gabapenin for pain which helps. Is it stress ? Should I pay for mri? Have no other symptoms except those described.

I began experiencing urine frequency with some very slight burning, I was in ER continue not to feel well?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

About 2 weeks ago I began experiencing urine frequency with some very slight burning with urination. I have had several UTI’s in the past and it felt the same so I used doctor on demand and talk to a doctor and was put on cipro for 7 days. I finished the 7 days but was still experiencing the urinary frequency , extremely fatigued and now I was having some right flank pain. I am an Emergency medical tech and work at a pediatric urgent care, since I still was not feeling well I decided to run my blood (CBC) and urine. My urine showed trace blood-intact. My WBC was 17.2, everything else was within normal limits. Bc of the high WBC and feeling the way I was I went to an urgent care the next day, I showed the doctor there my CBC from the day before and he immediately sent me to the ER. I went to the ER and waited 7 hours. My CBC there showed my WBC to be 12.71 and my absolute Neut as 7.85 everything else showed within normal limits. My urine chemistries showed urine hemoglobin as moderate with everything else within normal limits. My CT scan showed : a nonobstructing punctate left renal calcus, multiple subcentimeter hepatic hydrodensitis; too small to characterize, and possibly slightly increased in number since 2013, and right ovarian versus paraovarian cyst measuring 2.3 cm. I was told in the ER that my WBC was probably still elevated bc I had just finished the antibiotic for the UTI 2 days earlier, and that the urinary frequency was likely due to the kidney stone on the left, no real explanation for the right flank pain, but did not think it was related to the ovarian cyst. I already take prescribed pain medication daily for fibromyalgia so I was discharged with a script for pyridium and a urine strainer (I still have no left sided pain).
So it has now been 4 days since I was seen in the ER. I continue not to feel well. Still have urinary frequency, very fatigued and now have more right upper quadrant pain (feels like pressure or fullness right under my right ribcage) that radiates to the right side of my back, I am also having severe bouts of nausea that even zofran will not help subside, I also have episodes of sweating (slightly increased temp, with a high of 99.6) and then chills, and just today decreased appetite. I have tried to get in with a primary care doctor (I currently only have a pain management doc for my fibro) but the soonest appointment I can get is in 11 days. I just feel as though something isn’t right and that maybe something was missed in the ER. I feel like it may have something to do with my liver. I have to work the next 6 days and really cannot afford to take time off but don’t know how long I will be able to go into work feeling like this. I am dreading having to go back to the ER and wait another 7 hours and pay another $200 co pay. I would just like some thoughts on what this could possibly be. My med history also includes gallbladder removal and appendix removal in 2010. Does this sound like something I need to go to the emergency room right away for?

Condom broke while making love, can I get HIV?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

5 months ago, I had a one night stand with someone who’s sexual health I’m unsure of and can’t ask, but who clarified that he was clean and tested. The condom broke, which we only realized after the fact.

At the time, I took a morning after pill immediately after, and kept an eye out for symptoms. Although I didn’t get anything that warranted concern for STDs, I experienced symptoms that I thought were due to the pill: headaches, sweating, nausea, abdominal pain, and a delayed period (I took the pill a couple days before my period was due to start, it was delayed by about a week). These symptoms lasted 2-3 days. Since then, everything has gone back to normal and I haven’t experienced anything odd since.

However i have read that some of those symptoms could have been due to contracting HIV, and that’s begun to worry me. I don’t feel different and haven’t gotten sick since then. Is there a chance?

Could I have HIV? Should I worry about this?

I had unprotected sex with a girl over the weekend who told me the following morning she may have chlamydia. I went on Monday and got tested and treated. If I was infected, would that cure it before symptoms showed? I received treatment about 36 hours after exposure
