My 22 year old son had his aortic valve replaced with a mechanical one last year.
His L 4-5 disk just went out yesterday.
Can he receive acupuncture treatment to deal with the pain?
Thank you for your consideration.

Hello. My daughter has these bumps on her arm and I can’t seem to figure out what it is? Please help. Thanks.
My name is (…) and I am 19 years old. I gave birth 3.5 years ago, and that was the only time I needed medical attention in my life. A year ago I found a large lump, about 2 inches long and half an inch wide, in the top of my right breast. I have no medical insurance, therefore no doctor will see me. I also cannot get a mammogram because I am so young. I don’t know what to do. I am worried sick and constantly exhausted. All I ever want to do is sleep. I’ve been eating healthy and I cut pop out of my diet, however I still just don’t feel right. Please help me.
I was admitted to ICU in a hospital with below conditions at night 4 AM: BP: 90/60 mmHg, Temp: Afebrile, PR: 80/min,CVS,R,PA: NAD
Giddiness, started generalized itching, nausea.No history of headache, visual disturbance, weakness of limbs, bowel and bladder disturbances.No history of DM/HTN/epilepsy/drug allergy/thyroid illness
There was blood and urine analysis, brain CT, abdominal ultrasound done – no problem found
Diagnosis: VBI, BPPV
Please let me know if i was diagnosed right.
I had breast reduction when I was 20 years old, my doctor took 550 g from right and 450g from left breast. I am 6 months post op and my left breast looks bigger and not as tender as right breast. Will my breast get more symmetrical?
I’ve been coughing up blood today, and brown mucus prior to this. The blood is mixed with mucus, bright red and bubbly. It has eased for now, and the quantity of blood wasn’t a lot either. Also, I’m a smoker, there’s no one with TB or fever or anything around me. The brown mucus is there for around a week and the blood just started today. What should I do? And honestly, should I be worried? Pls let me knew whether I should worry or not.
Hi there, I’m a 19 year old female and I’ve been having some trouble breathing through my nose. I am able to breathe in relatively fine, but when I try to exhale through my nose it’s like my sinuses are completely clogged. It’s almost like a flap is allowing me to breathe in, but not out. Nothing helps this problem– medication, forcing myself to breathe through my nose, neti pot, decongestants…I’ve tried everything. This isn’t a constant thing, but it happens from time to time and doesn’t go away for days or weeks. I sound all plugged up, food tastes bad, my ears won’t stop popping. What is wrong with me and what would I do?
I have developed a tremor in my left hand for the last 5 months. It is only when I do one specific action (i.e chopping movement from the elbow) My hand quivers from side to side when I do this. I also have tenderness in my elbow and my doctor is dismissive of it and says it must be tennis elbow. But it is going on so long now I am getting concerned. I have seen a neurologist 3 years ago in relation to tingling of the arms and legs and jumping muscles. She did some simple neurological exams on me and said it was not anything but maybe fibromyalgia. I am concerned that this is a progression of something that went undiagnosed.

Hello, Female age 40. I woke up on Sunday morning with an awful metallic taste my mouth. It was there when I swallowed food/drink. It has persisted to get worse over the last few days. It is extremely difficult to eat due to the taste that occurs when I swallow and now even smell. I went to urgent care yesterday and the physician did not have an answer other than to put me on antibiotics thinking maybe it could be an infection. I have been congested in my nose for and may have sinus infection but it has not been confirmed. Have you experienced patients that have come to you with this issue in the past? Please advise. I started taking amoxicillin yesterday. Today the metallic taste is at its worst since.
