Hi, 4 months ago I sustained a bad concussion after a metal access door fell about 13 feet from the ceiling and onto my head. I developed severe tendinitis in my neck from this, currently undergoing physical therapy for it, but I have seen absolutely no improvement from the head pains, and the fatigue. Very small activities that used to be very normal for me, now take a lot of energy and ultimately leave me in bed rest for the rest of the day. I took a CT scan the day of the incident in the hospital. I had a bump the size of two tennis balls on my head which went away. But now the question is, why are my pains as bad as when I got hit? I’m a 21 year old female. No prior medical problems at all.
I am 22 years old, female, and was born with a trigger thumb. First I was given a steroid injection in my thumb that didn’t help. After that I had the trigger thumb release surgery about 4 months ago. For the past 2 months my thumb has been bothering me again and the tendon is swollen like it was before I had the surgery. I went back to my surgeon and he gave me another steroid injection that is actually still hurting pretty badly. Just curious to see if anyone has had issues similar to mine after having the trigger thumb release surgery.
I’m a 34 year old male and for the past 1 1/2 years I have felt as if I would pass out from any type of physical exertion including very light physical exertion. I have never had any health problems. I went to a college football game 2 months ago and after climbing 30-40 steps I thought I was going to pass out. I felt like I was going to vomit. I was so hot. I removed my shoes and socks and hat and poured a bottle of cold water on my head and just laid on the seats. Very embarrassing but after about 10 minutes I felt fine. Another example was last Christmas I was carrying a box of canned food up some stairs then down the hallway. Half way there I couldn’t go any farther. I put the box down. I sat in the break room and tried to cool down by sipping on a cup of water while I was hyperventilating then I ran to the bathroom vomited and put my head in the sink and ran cold water on my head. There are many more examples. While it is happening I feel like I can’t breathe well, I feel like it is 2000 degrees, I feel light headed as if I am going to pass out, I feel nauseous. Also during sex I get these symptoms. I’m a non-smoker. My weight has gone up to 220 lbs from 160 over the past 7 years. I thought that could be a possible cause. I’m not sure if this would be heart, lungs, or something else. I do plan on going to the doctor about this but I wanted to get some advice first. Any ideas on what could be the cause? Also when I do go to the doctor should I go to my family doctor or should I see a specialist?
I am an 23 year old female. I have poly cystic ovary syndrome and Bipolar. I have been having a headache for two weeks now, not gone away since, just sometimes it is severe, but always there. Not even pain killers or sinus pills are working. In the beginning my eyes lost focus, but that is not the case anymore. I am on Qlaira, Epitec and Fluanxol
Hello .
I don’t know if you can help me. I have a bit of a strange question I was hoping to receive some advice about.
I apologize if it seems a bit random.
I have a disposable camera which I have kept in my bedside drawer for years and years and never got it developed. I noticed today that inside the flash compartment it looks wet and on the outer casing where it joins I think there are wet small patches.i just feel concerned as I’m not sure if it is leaked from an old battery inside or another substance that might be toxic.i read online that battery acid is carcinogenic and it just concerns me that with it being in my drawer for years this substance could have been repeatedly getting on my clothes. My worry is that I breastfeed my baby so I’m more concerned for her if she has come into contact with this on her mouth or anything as my bras are in this drawer and that it could be a repeated exposure.
Is there any advice you can give me on this as my big fear is something like this causing cancer ,
Many thanks.
Hi I’m a 20 year old female, a couple days ago I woke up to numbness and tingles from the waist down from my butt to pelvic area and to my left leg and foot, I thought it was from a lot of walking the day before but it’s been almost a week now and I don’t know
My wife is 42 y/o and has had 3 C- sections and her tonsils removed. Other than that, not much else. Over the past several months a condition that she is suffering from has worsened to where she almost can’t eat and sometimes can’t drink water without choking. Not sure if this is a chiropractic issue an ear, nose and throat thing. She is starving to death and without medical insurance will likely end up dead.
I am a 45 yrs old male, fit and exercise couple times a week and drink two cups of coffee daily, I don’t drink alcohol and eat mainly Mediterranean food.
My concern about my blood pressure, I measure it in the morning and comes out normal <120/80.
But when I measure it during the day or at evening it comes elevated such as (135-150 )/(90-105).
Is this something I have to worry about?
Besides, every time I measure it it comes very high the first and second round of measuring, then I wait one minute and measure for third time , and that is what I am referring so all numbers I provided are based on the third time in a row one.
Please help.
Thanks
I am a 23 year old female and have experienced headache/ migraine at least 3 days a week for the past 5 years. I got the depo provera shot at 18 and only completed 2/3 in the series. I had unbearable headaches daily and could not exercise. I smoked illegal substances for 4 years and quit 4 months ago. I cut out caffeine completely, yet, I still get headaches almost daily. My GP told me to eat a balanced diet, exercise and drink water regularly.
I am a full time student so I look at white boards/ phone/ computers at least 5 hours a day. I get dizzy, tunnel vision, and sometimes nauseous. I only use albuterol when needed. Recently, I saw an optometrist at Walmart and told her about my light sensitivity. She concluded that I have 20/20 vision, but prescribed me a light prescription for glasses (+.25 and +.50-.50 x 017). I started wearing them less than 24 hours ago and it has given me a massive headache. I can see when I focus, but when I am driving (need to look around quickly) I get dizzy and have a headache for over 6 hours. I take the glasses off, and it takes my vision a good 10 minutes to return to normal.
I am very frustrated and in pain and will be working 32 hours of clinicals all of 2017 and cannot risk having daily headache/ migraine while I am trying to learn and earn my degree.
I am a 21 year old female, previously diagnosed with bipolar disorder that is occasionally accompanied by symptoms similar to psychosis, though missing several of the common symptoms associated. Recently, I have developed a muscle spasm that resembles a tic along my right arm. The entire arm is effected, usually starting in either my hand or my shoulder. I can supress the sensation, which is remarkably similar to a body rush, but it always ends in some form of spasm.
It seems that it strikes at random, sometimes hitting during times of stress, while at other times there is not a major stressor to be identified. I have never had a problem with twitches, tics, or any similar conditions.

42-year-old white (Welsh, English, Irish, Dutch, Bavarian, Native American) male and a little overweight. I would like to do something about a chronic headache I’ve had for the past 16 years. Ideally accomplished without pharmaceuticals and/or surgery.
Pain detail: The chronic headache began following an eye laceration, which also caused a detached retina. Rendering eye permanently dilated & blinded, with a cataract. Pain is concentrated in two areas 1) surrounding the injured right eye extending to the temple/forehead and 2) arcing above & behind the left ear. I would rate the pain as never being less than 4 (on a 1-10 point scale) and a few times a week rating upwards to 7-9.
Diet: About 1500-2500 kcal daily, consisting of mostly fruits, vegetables, breads, beans, cheeses, olive oil, some desserts (cake, pie, ice cream). About 6 ounces of meat per week, over the past 10 years. Beverages: between 20-to-200 ounces a day, depending on thrist/activity, consisting of approximately 90% water, 8% milk, 2% juice.
Haven’t consumed any carbonated beverages for the past 13 years.
Never had a drink of an alcoholic beverage.
Never consumed any type of tobacco product.
Never used any illegal/illicit drugs.
Medication: 3 instances this past year I took OTC acetaminophen, out of frustration. Which provided no relief, not even psychologically.
When I had eye surgery, I was prescribed a pain reliever, however I didn’t take it, because the pain 1) wasn’t worse than my headache and 2) it provided no relief.
Unrelated Medical issues: ?intestinal hernia? (undiagnosed) since I was 14 and a torn knee ligament.
Hi, I’m hoping some one can help me as the problem I have I have seen many doctors but still no answers, I’m 37 year old woman and since my early 20,s I began to suffer from pain in my left shoulder when I left school I worked in a care home lifting constantly a lot of heavy patients! I had to leave as my pain was constant I then had surgery on the left shoulder I think they shaved the bone, from then on the pain I was able to tolerate but it was always there and would increase if I done anything such as lifting etc. I now work as a technician in a pharmacy and have been there 15 years I spend most of my working day standing at a computer , then 3 years ago for about a week at work I was in a lot of pain starting at my neck and traveling down my arm when I finished my shift at the end of the week I had a funny turn where the pain was so bad my whole left side just went numb and my left side of my face just dropped I was with my Mam at the time and she thought I was having a stroke, I was admitted into hospital for a few days but the doctors were baffled as I had a mri scan and nothing showed up so they couldn’t explain my symptoms i was discharged and put on baclofen tablets and had physio after about 3 months I was back to normal though the pain remained in the neck and shoulder, i returned to work only for it to happen again, however what was happening was when the pain got so bad in my neck my face would droop again and it was like a spasm my whole left side just goes, I got sent to a neurologist who said he didn’t believe it’s anything neurological then got refered to the pain clinic in this time I keep telling the docs that the spasms and my face only drops when I’m in serious pain but they just keep dismissing this as they say it’s not connected! The consultant at the pain clinic also sent me for a mri scan and X-ray yet nothing is showing up, one weekend I was in so much pain I paid to go to see a osteopath on examination he said I have no muscle in my left side it’s worn away and which I already know when u look at me from the front there is a big difference in my shoulders my left one is lower down. When I went back to the consultant I told him what the osteopath said and he then examined me and said yes u have a droop in your left shoulder and your spine is curved, he is going to try me on some new tablets called tapentadol other then that he can’t do anything for me! He’s done what he can and I appreciate that but I’m still left in pain and having these spasms and I have no answers! The physio I once saw said its just arthritis another doc suggested focal dystonia, I just feel like the surely has to be an explanation for my symptoms I hope u can help thank you
Hello..I am a 46 year old mother. I am about 50 pounds overweight but no medical concerns or problems. I am on no medication. For about 2 weeks I have experienced numbness on my right thigh that has been bothersome but not too painful. Yesterday morning I woke in excruciating pain in my left thigh the. Within an hour after I got up my whole left leg stopped working. I cannot move it at all. I can’t raise it, slide it..I can’t move it at all. It’s not locked in place it’s just….there. painfully there. Constant pain, not cramping. I cannot put pressure on it at all cause it buckles with just the slightest pressure. Should I go have this checked or should I wait to see if it will resolve on its own..it’s been a day and a half and no change yet.
