I am a 46 year old female. I had my gallbladder removed in April of 2015. The doctor said it was not working. I am still having severe pain, that I have to go to the ER. What is going on? Is there a medical term used for this type of condition? I had the scope done in February, and nothing showed up but two polyps and both were benign. I am really getting scared because nothing has been found. The last visit to the ER, they did blood work. Would the blood work have shown if I have cancer or not, or is there a certain test they have to do to check for cancer? Also my blood pressure was up and my heart rate was 138. Please help!
My mother underwent TB treatment for one year recently with Levofloxacin 750 & ethambutol 1000, after a spate of failed treatment of six months, two years ago, with ethambutol 800, isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrozinamide. Her symptoms disappeared totally. Her pulmonologist stopped her medicines.He did not do a AFB test on stoppage of treatment. After stoppage of treatment for 15 days she was absolutely fine. Since last two days she has started getting fever (100+) once again in the evenings. Could it be a case of incomplete cure or relapse of TB? very Mild cough with phlegm has also appeared since yesterday.
I have a lot of abdominal pain one side,up near the ribs and lower down in the pelvic region,especially when I pass urine,this is very painful.
I had a operation to repair a prolapse 5 weeks ago.
I had a catheter in for 5 days after
After it was taken out I had a water infection,I was given some antibiotics,they didn’t work,so they prescribed some others as there were high white blood cells in the urine.before the abiotic were finished I went back to the doctors as I still did not feel right,there were still high white blood cells in the urine.bloods were done,nothing was found.i was still in pain so contacted them again,still had high white blood cells in urine,but still wasn’t given anything,bloods were repeated again,but said no sign of infection,although I was still in pain when urinating. I am now getting throbbing pain the other side of my abdomen,just under my ribs and getting pain on the backs of my legs
I am a female. I was hospitalized a month ago for a severe kidney infection for a week and a half. As soon as I got off the antibiotics I started having symptoms again except no fever. The pain is worse than the last time at my low back at my kidneys, upper left side of my tummy and at my bladder. It is very painful to use the bathroom worse than the last time and my urine is dark yellow and smelly. Every time I eat, my body rejects everything I put in my body such as foods and liquids and even medication. The vomiting is so severe that I will go on for 10 minutes straight. I went to my primary doctor and they said I had a UTI and she gave me antibiotics and because of the severe pain I was in, she ordered a CT scan of my kidneys and found something unknown was on my kidneys and they were afraid it was a cyst or a abscess and gave me a kidney ultrasound but when she sent me to the urologist at my local hospital the same day, they said I had no UTI and everything was fine on my kidneys. My kidneys looked the same as the last time I was in the hospital. He said my pain may be because of my digestive system and he didn’t know why I was in so much pain and it was out of his profession basically and sent me over to the emergency department for pain medication. But the nurse practitioner told me it was my muscles and gave me muscle relaxers. I was having severe vomiting and severe pain but they discharged me after giving me only basically tyneol. I tried telling them it didn’t help but they let me go regardless of my cries for help. I was still in agonizing pain and still having severe vomiting. I took a UTI test strip yesterday and I tested positive for a infection. The pain is getting worse by the day. What should I do next?
On February 8th, 2017, I received a urethral bulking procedure with the Coaptite injectable implant. That evening I could only drip pee, but not empty my bladder fully. I was screaming in pain overnight and the next morning my husband took me to the hospital where they drained 2 liters off the bladder. I was sent home and told that I would completely recover. Since then I have suffered from severe urgency, stinging, burning, frequency, pelvic pain and some incontinence. I have seen a urogynecologist, a gynecologist, a urologist, a pain specialist, an acupuncturist, and now I am seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist and receiving weekly treatments of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation, PTNS. Over these 3 months, my condition has worsened, not improved. None of the doctors I have consulted understand why this happened to me, and do not know how to treat it. At 66, I am/was an elite athlete, extremely active, babysitting grandchildren, and had lots of energy. Today, I spend most of my time in bed due to the extreme discomfort of the pelvic floor pain and the severe urgency. I am taking myrbetriq for the pain, but do not think that it is helping and taking several antidepressants. I wonder what more can be done to alleviate these symptoms, if not get rid of them completely. I do not understand what could be causing these horrific sensations.
My 50 year brother did a chest X-ray that came back with the following result: Moderately Enlarged Cardiac Size with CTR =0.57. Unfolded Aortic Arch. Increased Hilar Bronchia Markings. No Obvious Bone Fracture Or Dislocation. No obvious Effusion. Impression: Cardiomypathy (HHD) with Associated Chest Infection. Please what does this mean and what do we do next. Thanks s lot for caring and for your anticipated answer.
I had a lumbar laminectomy / discectomy on the L5-S1 around 8-9 months ago for some pretty painful sciatica shooting down my left leg from my gluteal region. I was doing pretty well until last week, and noticed that I had some sensitivity behind my outer left knee. The sensitivity is not debilitating, but really notable. Could I have possibly re-herniated? or can this be corrected? I have not had any pain yet from my gluteal region nor my lower back.
I have just started my gabapentin treatment again, I also had an occurrence today when I coughed and my upper left gluteal region issued me some sharp pain. Am I experiencing a recurrence of a herniated disc again?
My wife’s latest ultra sound shows 4 cysts in her ovary, Sizes are 1) 2.1 x 2.1 x 1.7 2) 2.1 x 1.7 x 1.8 3) 3.1 x 3.0 x 1.3 4) 1.8 x .2 x 1.3. Her first ovary and tubes are removed 2 years before due to another ovarian cyst.
She is 34 and our kid is 6 yrs old. We are looking forward to have a second kid. As per the Sonohysterogram, her remaining Fallopian tube is blocked. We are looking for the possibility of IVF In Vitro Fertilization,
Could you please advise me the chances for (IVF) In Vitro Fertilization?
I have had spine problems since an accident in 1992 when I hit my head on low door way twisted my head fell with my shoulders on hard floor and also broke my tibia and fibia.
The symptoms after that started were wide and varied I have been bedridden for last 3 years in chronic pain.
I beleive when I had the accident it caused problems around T1 possibly prolapsed disc. The symptoms from this pain down sides stomach and groin pain. My neck and upper back have basically ceased up. I get loud cracking in my head heard by me and if loud crack others in room. I have just been diagnosed with problem at C3 nothing about T1.
I assume when you have a prolapsed disc at this level T1 it is generally left.
I have just managed to sort the muscles out and pain downwards has stopped.. When you have sciatic pain it can stop and start again years later. I believe with thoracic referred pain the problem continues as this area does not move. I by any chance it moves and the pain stops is there any chance it will stay ok similar to when sciatica goes.
Hello all. I am very worried. My 14 1/2 year old daughter has been getting a little bruise looking purplish rash on her earlobe for about a year. It lasts a few days then goes away completely. It returns every other week, sometimes once a month. I mentioned it to her doctor last year, and he did a cbc, and said it was normal, no need to worry. This week, she had a small one on her face, so I took her to the doctor. They ran a bunch of blood tests. CBC w/diffential, Metabolic panel, Bleeding time, PTT, antinuclear. The doctor said everything looks good, that it is idiopathic, but not ITP because her platelets are NOT low. I was worried about lieukemia. That is why I took her. I want to believe that these things just happen, can you please shed light on this? Please help me, I am so scared. during visit before bloodwork , doctors called it petechiae or purpura, on the internet it was all bad and scary reasons for these. Can these really happen for no reason? They told me no treatment needed.
Hi I am in a lot of pain right now and can not lay down. I am having major muscle spasms in my lower back. I have been diagnosed with Sciatica about 3 months ago. Long story short I did a light workout exactly a week ago which caused my right knee to sprain. Two days after it was Friday I started feeling my sciatic nerve pain come back. Now it exactly a week later. I went to the hospital last night, and also this morning because the spasms are unbearable. I don’t have a family doctor at the moment. They gave me a prescription for flexiril which has helped me in the past but this time it seems to be getting worse. I am restless and everytime I go to lay down the spasms start. I am traumatized by the spasm attacks from these last 2 days I don’t even want to bother laying down but even when I try it literally makes me want to die that is how bad the spasms are. I know usually what to do to subside the pain, but NOTHING is helping. Nothing. I am 24 yrs old. Female. 150lbs. 5’1 height.

My wife has had an Ilia conduit operation 6 years ago & has a Stoma bag. She has a constant urine infection & has had to take antibiotics regularly as she has developed Kidney problems. Her urine is burning her flesh area around the Stoma and is causing crystals to form. She has been told to dab the area with white vinegar. A very painful experience every time, That area hurts all the time but however she has done this and after two weeks, they went. Very upset to see the crystals have returned after just two days. What else can she do to relieve the situation?
