Hello,
Just had a (3 roots) root canal treatment at the dentist there was/is an inflammation. Now i have lots of pain. Worse than before the Root canal treatment.

I am Age 55 & female. I take Prilosec 20mgs (OTC) and have taken this daily for over 10 yrs straight (maybe longer). I am recently bothered by the findings regarding taking this drug long term and its warnings that indicate osteoporosis, liver disease and dementia. I have taken this med as a daily treatment for heartburn and can not go a day without it or I will definitely suffer with heartburn.
What should I be taking in place of this? Please don’t say Tums ( that would be a joke). Also, my doctor always asked me what medicines I take every time I have appointment, which is every 6 months ( since I also take Zocor 10mg for elevated cholesterol ). Why if there are such findings would my doctor not be concerned about this?

I end up taking all the meds the Dr has prescribed. linzess, amitiza, dolcolax, miralax, metamucil, lactulose and stool softeners. Nothing works and when it does i have diarrhea all day and painful. Please help, I don’t know what else to do.
Hello, on February 26th I had taken Plan b one step ( The morning after pill) 12 hours after intercourse with my husband. Well during the next 2 weeks I’ve had horrible side effects since taking the pill. I decided to take 6 first response pregnancy test every day for 6 days. They were all negative. I decided to take two more tests the day of the appointment with my gynecologist which were also negative. The same morning my gynecologist gave me a urine pregnancy test at his office which was positive. How is is possible if I had 8 negative tests including that morning and his urine test was positive???
Can dehydration cause fainting? I’ve fainted 3 times in almost a 3 year span. My first two episodes were in 2014 back to back and I recently had one in 2016. I exercise quite a bit 5 days a week. Does not drinking enough water cause that? I’m a little concerned because I’m a truck driver and I don’t want to have a episode behind the wheel

Sometimes my vision in my left eye goes away for about 5 min. Then comes back, it’s happened about 3 times now to me, first everything starts going dark around my eye then it closes in where i can’t see anything in my left eye, then i also get very bad migraines and doctors have tried me on pretty much everything and nothing helps.
Good day, I am a 50 year old white male. HT: 5’10” wt: 246 lbs. HX: sleep apnea, high cholesterol and triglycerides and HBP. All controlled with medication and cpap. I have also been treated for soft tissue inflammation and arthritic symptoms for several years. My family doctor suspects psoriatic arthritis as a have several small areas of psoriasis. I recently had surgery to remove torn meniscus. My MRI revealed severely thinning cartilage. I also had carpal tunnel release in left wrist along with steriod injection in tendon of right wrist last year. Over the past several months I have developed sub-clinical premature atrial contractions but was cleared for knee surgery with good echo cardiogram and calcium score. I am now developing nodules on tendons on hands causing trigger finger along with achilles tendon nodule that is painful to touch or walk. I also have a nodule on my oppsite foot at the base of my big toe. I have also developed hematuria with restricted urine flow and output. CT scan negative for kidney stones but revealed simple cysts. No elevated creatinin. I suspect enlarged prostate pending follow up with my family doctor. I also have had significant lower back pain for years due to narrow disc space that has gotten alot worse in the past 6 months with the same timing as the PACs and urologic problems.
Could psoriatic arthritis be a more systemic problem leading to multiple seemingly separate problems to include PACs, prostate/urologic, and multiple areas of tendonitis without strain or injury? None of my current symptoms are currently resulting in positive imaging or bloodwork other than urinalyis

Its been over three weeks that this started, and it comes on in large patches about twice a week, covering about half of my thighs, or all of my calves. Could we be missing something?

Hi I am in a confusing situation. I have a defect in the base of my skull and my doctors have said this is the reason I have contracted meningitis twice. I have had an intermittent csf leak for the past 8 years and I have one surgeon saying operate and the other saying don’t as the risk o me losing my sense of taste is 80%! The leak is currently not active and my e n t specialist wants to do a cisternogram but I’m worried if I start leaking again then they will have to operate!
