Do I have costochondritis?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

I went to the ER about a month ago for chest pains that i’ve been having weeks prior, they did an ekg which turned out fine and a blood pressure check which was good. They said it’s costochondritis and what not. When i did research on it, the pain wasnt where it said it should be. In the space where my breast are separated, on the left side and the right side is where my pain is. Also i have upper back pain in the middle and shoulder pain. Is it really costochondritis? Plus i know i should’ve went to the doctor for a check up since it’s been hurting for about a full month but the thing is, it’s a come and go pain. I never have it continuously. Some days it won’t hurt, some days it will hurt. Anyway, thoughts?

Female | 19 | i’m currently taking iron supplements and vitamin c, as well as birth control pills.

Pain in head, neck, left arm and lower back, xray shows degeneration, here are my MRI results?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

I am a 49 year old female I have been having a lot of pain in my head, neck, left arm and lower back. I had a mri done back in August of this year. I have had pain shots but they only last a day or so but the pain doesnt completely go away, just makes it more bearable. I have appointments to see a neurologist in January and a Neurosurgeon in February. I dont really understand any of what this says, a nurse practitioner is the one who order the mri done because of the headaches and numbness to 2 of the fingers on my left hand. I havent been in a car accident. xrays showed degenerative changes in my neck and back. Here are the results of the mri. If someone could tell me anything about the or the seriousness I would so greatly appreciate it.

Central disc bulging is noted at C2-C3. A small disc protrusion is noted at C3-C4 impinging on the thecal sac. At C4-C5 there is a tiny disc protrusion slightly impinging on the thecal sac. At C5-C6 there is a central disc protrusion impinging on the thecal sac. There is minimal retrolisthesis of the C5.
IMPRESSION- Disc protrusion is seen indenting the thecal sac from C3 to C6. Thecal sac appears to be flattened from C3 to C7. There is no syrinx or tonsillar herniation noted

I suffer from dyspnoea with muscle cramps in arms and feet?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

Nationality: Egyptian
Residence: Egypt

I suffer from some symptoms which can be summarized as the following:

-Dizziness and continuous headache.
-Ear fullness and tinnitus.
-Blurring of vision.
-Numbness sensation in the back.
-Pricking sensation in both legs.
-Amnesia, dyspnoea and numbness involving the areas of chest
and abdomen.
-Disequilibrium and drowsiness.
-Pain, crackling in the jaw with closed-bite malocclusion.
-Sinusitis.
-Muscular cramps are present sometimes.

An incident:
I was smoking a cigarette and suddenly heard chest wheezes; then
dyspnoea took place, accompanied with muscle cramps in both arms
and feet, as if electrically shocked.
I suffered to reach the definite diagnosis which explains the
above mentioned symptoms.

The local doctors diagnosed my case as:
-Sinusitis,
-Jaw dislocation,
-Anxiety and stress; (and this is untrue because I don’t experience any
stresses or dysphoria, and I feel psychological stability).

I’m completely ready to do any clinical, radiological or laboratory
investigations to reach the accurate diagnosis for my case.

Searing, gnawing, burning pain in low back and sacrum region/

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

26 year old female. Searing, gnawing, burning pain in low back and sacrum region. After being pregnant for two years and having two babies I started having low back pain months past last delivery. Nothing major though, but it would continue to flare up resulting in new symptoms (such as tingling in lower extremities, sharp pains in hips, frequent small amounts of urination, trouble urinating, pains with bowel movements) and an increase in the constant pain. Two years later from when it started I just cant take it anymore its relentless and nothing helps. I went to the ER and they did a ct scan without contrast. But it came back unremarkable on everything. I picked up my ct scan to review myself because I don’t know what else to do and my doctor and the specialist I seen won’t do any further testing. I just would like an opinion on some images. I also should note that in between pregnancies my menstrual cycles were extremely painful equally to labor contraction pains. (It would only let me choose one photo.)

I lost consciousness twice, without any particular reason?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

Something has been happening to me which is worrying.Im age 17 and a few months ago in class, i slipped and fell.That wasn’t the worrying part.I landed on my knee and well it was just painful.Other than a minor bruise, i don’t think it is anything servere.However,after about 10 seconds while sitting on a chair, i lost consciousness.It was probably due to the pain, but the pain wasnt even very major.When i regained consciousness, i was lying on the floor.My head felt heavy.Judging from my spectacles dirt on the lenses, i must have landed on my face.I dont feel much pain on my face however.
Today, it happened again.My arm accidentally hit the table.Then after a few seconds(about 10), i fainted.When i regained consciousness, i was lying under the table. My head felt heavy as usual.
I have asthma when i was much younger but I already recovered from that a long time ago.Unofficially, i think i have vertigo, sweaty palms and slight tremor of hands.

I have seizure like events?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

For many years now I have had what I call seizure like events when I am sometimes stressed out. I don’t know of any particular triggers that cause them. What happens is what feels like an an involuntary burst of energy that seems to come from my upper body or mind area (I can’t tell for certain), that last maybe half a second, recurs every two seconds, and may last a minute or two. The additional symptoms are my eyes lids follow the burst by closing when it starts, and opening when it stops, my body mildly responds the burst, there is ear pressure that rises and dissipates with each spasm, and a mild reflexive upwelling or spasm from my torso out toward my throat.

Thank you,

Blurred vision, Dizziness, Nausea, Hot Blushes and Pounding Heart.?

Blurred vision, Dizziness, Nausea, Hot Blushes and Pounding Heart.?

My father has coronary heart disease. This evening before dinner, he took his heart and blood pressure medicines. He had a large dinner containing white rice, coke and bread right after he drunk a cup of tea with sugar. He’s been told he’s prediabetic close to diabetic and after the dinner he experienced symptoms like blurring vision, lightheadness, nausea, hot face and his heart was beating a little faster which i reckon he got scared that’s why. Do you think the signs were due to his high blood sugar from drinking the rice, coke, bread and the tea or his blood preassure dropped due to the medicine and as he had a very physical day today which we all know excercises or movements reduce blood pressure. Or did he get hear attack… i don’t think that’s the case becuase he had no chest or shoulder pain or shortness of breath. He also suffers from depression and anxiety but i don’t think was the case today too.

Please let me know if it’s dangerous?

I have been experiencing very shallow breathing, shivers, legs feel numb?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

Hi! I am a 20 year old female. Lately I have been experiencing very shallow breathing. Additionally, my face starts to shiver, my eyes twitch uncontrollably, my hands tremor, my legs feel numb, my lip pulls to a certain side and I have difficulty speaking. I have been feeling very dizzy lately and I also experience extreme vertigo sometimes.

I have been to a doctor during last week. She just took one look at me and said that I am stressed out, which makes no sense at all! I am not stressed, panicked, nervous or anxious whatsoever. I am a very chilled and relaxed person, plus, I am currently on holiday. So I literally have nothing to stress or worry about.
