Hello, I’m 23yo male, I had a pain in my neck started since 2013, the pain is medium to High. 24/7 till today, I had a TD scan and a MRI scan both results stated that I have a small herniated disk C5C6 does not touch the main nerve very much, other than this structure is well n fine. all doctors told me that it’s nothing serious and shouldn’t be a problem at all. But the pain is incredible , I can’t work, I can’t practice sport anymore, I can’t even walk!! I have to drive my way to destinations,
PS: I have a small scoliosis probably 4or 5degrees, sometimes it hurt a little sometimes it doesn’t .
What is wrong with me?! Does the MRI is not able to shows nerves?, do I have nerves problem?
39/female, with diagnoses of fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. I have extreme numbness and tingling in my wrists arms hands and fingers, severe jaw and shoulder pain. Breathing seems tiresome. I’m am scared, in pain, shaky and weak. Have started having wetting accidents. Bad headaches. I get sweaty and have fallen once and injured my ankle. Is this something I need immediate help with?
I am a married woman of 27 years’ age. My weight is 75 kg and height 5 feet 6 inches.
Since Nov 16 I have been trying for pregnancy. After that my regular menstrual cycle of 28 days used to get delayed by 6 to 10 days.
However, my last menstrual period started on 23.02.17. On 24.03.17, I noticed some red rashes on my face and upper part of body with over 100 degree Fahrenheit temperature. I didn’t go for any test or Doctor. I took one or two anti-allergic tablets as i previously had little bit allergic problems with chilli or hot things. After two days I was o.k.
However, as my menstrual cycle didn’t recur, I went for USG test on 20.4.17, and it confirmed me as pregnant and detected a single live fetus of approximately seven weeks one day.
However, my doctor advised me to undergo rubella IgG test along with certain other routine tests.
All other test reports were o.k.
But Rubella IgG test done on 18.4.17 in A LAB showed the result to be Positive (340 IU/ml) Reference range used was: <10 IU/ml=negative, 10 to 15IU/ml=equivocal, >15IU/ml=positive. My doctor told me that I was immune against rubella, so i need not be worried and should not go for rubella IgM test (as i had recent history of red rashes) since it can’t be detected so late.
I was not satisfied, and on 27.4.17 I went for both rubella IgG and IgM tests done in ‘B’ Lab. The result was anti Rubella antibody IgG: 308.61IU/ml……reference range used is negative: <10.0, positive >10.0.
Anti rubella antibody IgM was: 121.43 AU/ml…reference range used is negative: <20.00, positive >25.00, equivocal: 20.00-25.00
However, I was perplexed and I wanted to be sure about my rubella infection.
On 4.5.17, again I went for both rubella IgG and IgM tests done in ‘A’ lab. It detected rubella antibody IgG as 291 IU/ml….Reference range used was: <10 IU/ml=negative, 10 to 15 IU/ml=equivocal, >15 IU/ml=positive.
It also detected rubella antibody IgM as positive (1.50)….Reference range used was: <0.8 index =negative, 0.8 to 1.2 index =equivocal, >1.2 index=positive.
Sir, my question is do you find any inconsistency in the reports of different labs for tests done on different dates? Why is rubella IgG which stays lifelong unchanged is decreasing? And the most important question is will my Baby be affected by this infection which occurred in early pregnancy? I don’t want to give birth to a crippled or abnormal child.But it is my first pregnancy. What should I do? Should I go for abortion? Will it cause any problem to my future pregnancy? After how many days of abortion, I can try for next pregnancy? What steps need to be taken after abortion in this regard? Please advise.
I am a 33 yr old female. Almost 2 months ago I was intubated, on a ventilator and sedated in ICU for a week due to respiratory failure, which was a complication of the flu and severe asthma exacerbation. My oxygen level was ok, but my CO2 level kept rising. At one point a doctor told my husband I might not survive the night because my CO2 was around 73 or 74 mmHg. I read that severe brain damage and death can occur after 75 mmHg. Surprisingly to everyone, I survived, and my CO2 levels went down to normal and eventually I was sent home. Ever since then however, I’ve been experiencing severe memory problems. I forget many conversations and events almost instantly, I can’t remember short lists like I used to, or to do things that I’m told not to forget. I’ve started having to write lists and set timers for things I never needed reminders for. I have difficulty with daily tasks that used to be routine to me. It’s like I forgot what I was doing and need to orient myself again, which is normal occasionally, but for me it’s a constant daily struggle now. It’s insanely frustrating and even my husband is starting to question if I suffered some sort of brain damage. Is it possible my memory issues are from the respiratory failure, and are they permanent?
Since Monday I have been having breathlessness and dizziness which has been almost constant. I am extremely fatigued and have had occasional chest pains accompanying the shortness of breath. The chest pain has been on my right hand side below my collarbone and on my left hand side in the middle of my rib-cage. I have had tingling and numbness in my hands and feet for a number of months and a sore tongue which has a number of ulcers on it. I have a B12 deficiency, Sliding Hiatal hernia and Endometriosis. I am a 20 year old female. I am on b12 injections every 3 months, Levest 30mg and Lansoprazole 30mg. I am not delayed with my B12 injections but am due them at this time, I normally have symptoms when I am due them but they are typically not this severe
I am a 69 year old male. 19 days ago today just out of the nowhere I started having severe pain in my lower back and left side abdomen just under my bottom rib. That pain lasted all day but the following day was just like it never happened. Then the third day was back to the same pain again then the fourth day nothing. This pain cycle repeated several times then after 8 or 9 days I started noticing a black tarry stool. There was never any fever and no constipation and only very mild softening of stool during the whole time.The pain episodes were diminishing and the tarry stool was looking normal in about 2 weeks but then I started noticing a lot of mucous surrounding my stool. I had been busy on a work project this whole time and had put off a doctor visit until the 16th day. I called my doctor’s office and went in that day. The doctor did urinalysis, stool test for blood and did bloodwork to check for infection, etc. All these tests came back normal so he scheduled a CT scan for the following morning and the ct scan also came back normal. The doctor put me on ciprofloxan 500mg twice a day and metronidazole 500mg 3 times a day. I had a colonoscopy 2 years ago and 3 polyps were removed.
This obviously was/is a GI issue but how could all this have taken place and yet leave no traceable evidence? Should my doctor do other tests or should I just consider this like a health hiccup and forget it?
I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2015. I had been able to bring my A1C down through lifestyle and diet changes, which allowed me to avoid medication. However, I have been trending up for over a year. My last A1C taken in late April was a 7.0 and my doctor still feels I should stick it out with diet and exercise and to come back in 6 months for another A1C test. Is this normal advice? Shouldn’t he suggest Metformin to try to avoid long term damage for not being in a normal range? I appreciate any advice on this matter. Thank you.
Hello there – Im a 29 year old female and back in march I had the arm implant inserted and didn’t get my period that month.
At the end of April, my period started last Thursday and its still going… I was wondering if this alright if its this long as I haven’t experienced it before or its because I didn’t have a period last month?
Also last Friday, me and my partner had an accident where the condom split but we visited the pharmacy who reassured us that I wouldn’t be pregnant even though I was on my period and the implant…
And today, it seems my stomach is heavy and I feel sick so Im not sure if its due to the period/implant or pregnancy
I am a 37 year old male.
I have two main problems:
1. Lower right Rib pain and tension.
2. Urinary Incontinence.
1. Lower right Rib pain.
I am in a deep pain and stress due to the lower right Rib pain i am experiencing since 10 years. I had Xray and ultrasound recently and the results are normal. Will CT scan or MRI reveal any muscle damage/ dislocation to my Rib?
Before that i would like to tell my medical history, i have suffered from Phobia, anxiety, major depression It took a toll on my health and most importantly caused muscle tensions and migraine headaches…I feel my lower right rib has been deformed due to continuous tension over the years, It has compressed more inside the body and i feel poky and pain while breathing and sitting.There is redness is that area.
when i touch the right and left ribs, i can see the difference in their positioning….the left rib can be felt and seen in normal position, whereas the right rib is compressed inside and i don’t feel the rib bones as much as the left side.
I am taking SSRI antidepressant called Lexapro (for anxiety, depression), and it helps 50% in reducing the tension but not enough to relax that area.
What should i do? I have taken Baclofen and it helps to some extent but makes me sleep for long hours and some drowsiness.
at times i feel like taking Muscle relaxants to relax those lower right rib but i know they can be addicting and harmful in long term. Is there Surgery option to put the ribs back in place so as to fix this issue once for and all ? Can CT Scan and MRI find out the Compression and deformed position of the right lower rib?
I am seriously had enough of it, since this rib pain and tension causes me Anxiety and even depressed feelings. I find it difficult to do physical exercises like jogging, Gym due to this and stress makes it worse. Relaxation exercises only helps partially for very brief duration like 30 mins or so.
2. Urinary incontinence
Since a year, i have developed urinary incontinence .I don’t know exact reason for it. It could be the Lexapro drug, but i am taking Lexapro since 7 years. For incontinence i was prescribed Solifenacin 10mg, and its effective upto 70%. I cannot quit lexapro because it is the only Antidepressant which helped me significantly with anxiety and depression. I have relapsed into depression in past due to lexapro withdrawal.
I will really appreciate your advice and options(including surgery if possible) so i can discuss them with a Specialist doctor at my place.
I am a 41 year old female. I thought it was my thyroid, the doctor palpated and was able to feel that it seemed enlarged. Had all the thyroid testing done, everything came back normal. Had an ultrasound they found a 5mm solid nodule and said get another ultrasound in 6 months. I can’t go another 6 months feeling this way. I feel like there is constantly something in my throat and I have to clear my throat multiple times in 5 minutes, it is worse at night. I get out of breath going up a flight of stairs. Feet, legs and hands are swollen every morning. Hands are numb and tingly also when I wake up. I could sleep for a solid 12 hours and still feel exhausted when I wake up. My legs are so heavy when I walk. I have gained 30 pounds in about 3 months with no change in my diet and I am still gaining and I eat less. Have crazy cravings for sweets, I rarely like sweets, but the cravings are so powerful. Hair is falling out and dry. I have always had a problem with oily hair. My tongue is very sore, anything salty burns my tongue, and it feels like my tongue is swollen, and I have been biting it a lot when I talk. I have always had an excellent memory and now I am very forgetful and I have this brain fog. I can see a visible swelling in my neck, but the ultrasound said it was normal in size, it measured 5.0 x 1.6 x 1.9 cm on the right lobe and 5.4 x 1.0 x 1.4cm on the left lobe. Anyone have any idea what is wrong with me!
I am a male, married for 2 years now and have a 6 month old baby boy. I’ve been following LCHF (Low carb-High Fat) diet for just 2 months only. But for the last 5 months, I feel I’ve lost my libido and erection. Erection does not last for more than 5 minutes. When I tested my testosterone 5 months before starting LCHF, it was only 221. My LCHF mentor told me not to worry about it (at that time, we’ve just had our baby and I didn’t notice my libido went down!). Now, even after 5 months, I’ve lost my libido and erection. My testosterone level has bit increased to 315 now. I am 35 years now. I tested my prolactin and it is within normal range 164 mIU/L (Lab range was: 86-390 mIU/L). I am aware my testosterone is very low, but I am confused as to how I was very effective in sex just 5 months before and now down to zero. Will testosterone drop that fast ? Or is it anything to do mentally ?
I am NOT obese (5’8″ and only 68Kg), NOT diabetic ever (95 Fasting Blood sugar and HbA1C 5.2%), Blood pressure 135/85. Triglycerides just 68. My full blood count (Blood work) is fine and am NOT anemic (haemoglobin 15.8 – Lab range was: 12.0-17.50). Thyroid function is normal. Kidney and liver functions are also normal as well – all according to the recent blood report taken on 24th April. I’ve had epilepsy twice in life around 6 years before and on epileptic pills for the last 5 years (Tegretol and Frisium). Any doctor can help kindly as this is really making emotional. Thank you all for your time.

My partner is a 23 year old woman and suffers from numbness and pins/needles down one side of her body (arms and legs in particular) and has been suffering for approx 2 years. GP’s keep referring her for one test of another with no success. She is on her feet 8 hours a day with adequate rest breaks off her feet. No signs of swelling or other visible signs on her skin. Blood tests all come back with no problems. Joints don’t appear to be an issue. Originally was suggested to be Carpol Tunnel syndrome but has since been ruled out.
Could you offer any suggestions of what could be causing it?
