Hello, my husband is lethargic, sleeps a lot during the day, is losing weight and has no appetite. We have been trying to lose weight, however, this is different. He is also coughing and can’t get rid of the cough. He is over 65ys.
I am a male and aged 20 and a few weeks ago I went to the doctors with shooting pains in my testicles and groin area. The doctor diagnosed me with Epididymitis and prescribed me with a course of doxycycline for 7 days. However I felt like I was having side effects such as feeling sick, dizzyness and small chest pains. I returned to the doctors today and without even checking me over he prescribed me with Ciprofloxacin. However after looking online I am starting to fear I have cancer. Not only do my testicle symptoms suggest cancer, but pain in the stomach and upper chest apparently signify that the cancer has spread. Should I be worried about cancer or is the pain in my chest a result of side effects of doxycycline. The pain seems to happen after eating and drinking, however sometimes comes on randomly.

Hello, about a year and a half ago, I started having a burning, uncomfortable pain in my right flank area, if i stood, it would be right at about where my elbow would fall on my side. Close to bottom of those ribs. It would come and go. Went to two doctors, both thought muscoskeletal. Put on Mobic. Didn’t help. Doctor then ordered ultrasound of upper right quadrant, and called only to tell me everything looked good, but had mild fatty liver, but not fatty liver disease. Also that I had gallstones. They then ordered Chest Xray (to see ribs) Everything looked good. I took it upon myself to see a gallbladder surgeon (doctor said it was up to me if I wanted to remove gallbladder) That was about 9 months ago. The pain went away, so I chose not to. Now, it seems every few months, it “flares” up. My question is, I want to be confident that it is nothing bad. The doctor seemed to make me feel like, if my gallstones were the problem I would be throwing up and have pain closer to middle of body, not only on the side. Do gallstones cause cancer? Should I have it removed? Can gallstones, cause pain in the right flank (toward side)? Thank you for any help and advice. I’m just scared.

Hi Doctor
Thank you very much for this service.
My son, Age 7 years, show unexpected occasional shivering. First shivering was observed two years back when he was sleeping, second one 6 months back when he has started bathing. Yesterday, when I took him for swimming for the first time also he started shivering.
He is lean with normal body weight, normal development and physical status.
I remember that when he was nearly 2 years, he slipped down on floor and back of his head has hit the floor and in the night he has vomited. May this incident has any relation with this shivering? Any nerve/ brain associated problem related to this?
What all may be the reasons for this kind of shivering and how I should be prepared and what treatment is required?
Kindly answer me because I am so much worried about this problem.
Thanking you in advance
Im a 32yo female. Have been having problems for a few years, very vaguely. But recently Ive been having left chest and shoulder pain, and now severe left flank pain. My last bloods showed high creatinine levels but dr didn’t care. I have gone to another gp ans she has redone these but i don’t have results. I’m in so much pain and am on my own with 6 kids. First gp mentioned possible kidney damage? I pass urine a lot, I’m very thirsty, forgetful/foggy, so tired. I don’t know if its worth going to the hospital for though.
I was diagnosed with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis by MRI in early October after suffering severe headaches. I have never had headaches in my life, with the exception of very occasional tensions headaches. No cause was determined, which I understand is not unusual. I have been taking warfarin since. I had a follow up MRA at the end of December. The radiologist report:
“Improvement in previously seen dural venous thrombosis with residual
nonocclusive filling defects within the superior sagittal sinus and
torcula and extending into the proximal right transverse sinus.”
Initially, after having been placed on warfarin, my headaches pretty much went away. I have, however, woke in the morning with the occasional bad headache. Somewhat confused as to why this would happen, I did some reading to find out that headaches could continue for quite some time due to scar tissue. What confuses me about this is that if it is scar tissue, then the scar tissue is always there. In that case, why would the headaches come and go? I spoke to my doctor almost 2 weeks ago, because acetaminophen does not help the headaches and they can sometimes be quite painful. At the time of our conversation, I had had a headache that lasted three days followed by about three weeks headache free and then another headache. However, in the past week I have had three headaches bad enough that I have had to take prescribed Vicodin for them. The one I have this morning came on in the middle of the night and I resisted taking medication for as long as possible. I did take Vicodin 2 1/2 hours ago and I still have pain. Is it normal for me to still be having severe headaches six months into treatment? I have five children to care for and my husband works out of town most of the time. The headaches, while not completely debilitating, make it difficult for me to go about my normal duties. Can you shed any light on this? I cannot find any good information to help me understand why I am still having headaches that hurt just as bad or almost as bad as the ones that sent me to the doctor in the first place six months ago.
