I am 38 year old female. Carpal tunnel and trigger finger release surgery. Tubal ligation surgery. No surgery or medications for this issue. A year ago had one painful nodule on bottom of foot show up. Had become larger than a pea. In last two months three more have showed up. One closest to original has converged with it making one very large one. The pain is becoming unbearable. A burning tearing sensations occurs during sleep, sitting and activities. The same sensation has moved into my calf and Achilles tendon on same leg. I took a simple step backwards and felt like something tore. It was very sore for a while and I kept it wrapped. It keeps a constant throbbing or aching feeling. The sensations in the foot and leg are keeping me up at night. It is becoming very painful to walk. Experiencing pain towards joint of big toe. Any type of stretching causes excruciating pain. I am waiting for approval on heath insurance. I have been researching hoping to get a little insight on what might be going on, before I am able to get seen by a doctor.
I am 20 years old, Male. I am athletic. My symptoms are similar to angina (chest tightens, dizziness, heart throbbing) My heart rate is abnormally high during physical exertion, (209 bpm)
These symptoms started 3 months ago in the summer. It has progressively gotten worse.
I have done blood work, echo-cardiogram, ECG, Stress test.
Results of blood work: Nothing abnormal
Results of Echo-cardiogram: No plaque buildup, Nothing abnormal
Results of ECG: No arrhythmia detected, Nothing abnormal
Results of Stress test: Heart rate quickly spiked to 209 bpm despite fitness level. Symptoms of chest pain started at 190 bpm. No arrhythmia detected.
Doctors are stumped as to why I have these symptoms. Need advice on what to do next. (What possibilities can it be? What tests should I take next?)
These tests, to my knowledge, have ruled out pretty much everything common. Could it be Coronary Microvascular Disease?
Its been 3 months since all this started, I can’t work, I can’t exercise. I just want my life back.
I have had no medical problems until this, I do not take medications, I do not have known allergies.
In May of this year, I had an acute onset of tingling in both my legs. Each leg was tingling from the top of the outer pelvis bone, above the hip joint, to the soles of my feet. The tingling was strong and constant, but was not accompanied by any pain or weakness.
I went to the E.R. because my blood pressure was also dangerously high at the time. They gave me something like valium and the blood pressure returned to near normal. (I have had slightly elevated blood pressure for several years, prehypertension.)
By the next morning, the tingling had subsided, but it continued to return now and then, never as severe, and never for as long. The frequency and severity of the tingling continued to decrease, but never completely went away.
I contacted my primary care physician to discuss the issue. She had me start vitamin B12 and had me do a nerve test of my legs. The nerve test (some electro-shock type of test) said everything looked great. She also started me on blood pressure medication, first hydrochlorothiazide, which gave me some mood side effects, then Losartan potassium, which seems to have gotten my BP very near normal.
Over time, I started to experience the same tingling in my hands and my forearms. I also started to notice that all the tingling seemed to be correlated with being in contact with a firm surface. (My hand tingles when I use my computer mouse, the soles of my feet tingle when driving, my legs tingle in bed if one lays across the other, etc.) Generally, if I change position, I can get the tingling to subside or mostly subside.
Over the last couple of days, the tingling in my right hand has increased in frequency and strength.
My primary care physician has been contacted, but she seems unsure what to think. I’m hoping for some other ideas.
SOME MEDICAL HISTORY:
I have the genetic bone condition osteopetrosis (not osteporosis). I wonder about the condition of the ultra-dense bones in my spine, and the spinal cord, but my primary care physician did not seem concerned about this when I mentioned it to her.
I also have metal-on-metal cobalt/chromium hip resurfacing replacements, from 2006. Recent blood tests show cobalt and chromium at very low levels, but not zero.
I am a 46 year old male. 6’0″, 265 pounds. I have had a yearly blood sugar check and it has always been normal. My primary care physician did another blood sugar check (some test that gives the blood sugar average over recent history) and it was normal as well.
ALLERGIES:
Clindamycin – rash. Likely sensitive to gluten, celiac test was “equivocal”. Have been on gluten-free diet for a few years.
46yo female I have autoimmune disease-rare form of sarcoid and probable lupus. In the last year I have had an impossible scalp/ears seborrhea that nothing will help and its spreading now to almost entire scalp. In the last 6 mos developed a couple of lesions; derm was slightly dismissive about my concerns of all this being related to my autoimmune processes. Bx showed psoriasform spongyatic dermatitis; now I am developing them everywhere….its like my skin is out of control. Are these problems likely systemic and related to the sarcoid or lupus?
31 YO, Caucasian female. MS symptoms such as vertigo, balance problems, daily headache and chronic migraine, tinnitus and hearing loss in left ear, memory problems, pinching/stinging pain, itching/tingling skin, muscle spasms and muscles easily weaken… Tests were run to rule out other causes from lupus to diabetes to hepatitis etc… Before symptoms began mri was Normal, but now States “Minimal nonspecific faint spotty FLAIR
hyperintensities in posterior periventricular white matter.” this was completed without contrast. My question is, does this Mri finding suggest MS? Is a LP or second episode/mri still needed for diagnosis? Any insight is helpful, just struggling to find answers and effective treatment on this journey. Follow up not until January. Thank you!
My 13 year old daughter just got news that she has a yeast infection. After that, we went to the local drugstore and picked up monistat 3. she told me that “down there” is very red and sore. She is scared to show anyone, including doctors. She is experiencing bad chest pains after using Monistat, is this normal?
I am a 47 year old female that has an overall dull pain in the lower right abdomen almost at my C-section scar. Sporadically through the day it becomes sharp for a few seconds. The pain radiates to my back and down my leg to the knee. I have noticed that I feel full, bloated, and have more gas. My stools have been thick but very long. Any ideas?
I am an 19 year old male. About a month ago I was sick throwing up and a fever for about a week & I lost about 10 lbs. I’m feeling good now, I went and got blood work done two weeks ago and my cholesterol and liver enzymes are high, and for the past week I’ve had swollen lymph nodes on the back of my neck. They don’t hurt or anything but in not sure what’s going on. Is it HIV, or cancer or something?
this is in regards to my 11yo son. He has been diagnosed with multiple AVMs of the face.
He has had 9 angiograms with embolisations to various areas and one Avm surgically removed.
Just recently he had a head CT as a new AVM appeared at the back of his skull.
After the CT he had a noticeable tremor in his right hand.
During the CT some of the dye /liquid went into his cannula but the cannula came unscrewed and liquid leaked out , how much I don’t know.
The radiologist reloaded a new batch and started again. Could these tremors be caused through too much dye/liquid being given?
He still has tremors over a week later and the pediatrician is concerned. Is the extra dye given a possible reason for the tremor
thanks (—)
Hi I just need some reassurance as yesterday I had a bit of an “episode” that really scared me. I’m female and 25 years old. I have diagnoses ulcerative colitis though not on medication.
Please note that I had smoked cannibis prior to this (I smoke most weekends so am not unfamiliar with this substance but could obviously be the trigger/cause). After smoking I was walking to dinner, felt light headed and a bit dizzy, this then escalated to heart palpitations far worse than I’ve ever experienced. I’ve had anxiety before but this was much stronger, I was almost waiting for the arm pain that comes with heart attack, this lasted roughly 5 minutes, I sat down to try and control it and the dizziness got worse and neurological symptoms began which really scared me, I lost the ability to read/comprehend, I couldn’t form sentences nothing was making sense, I got very emotional and started hysterically crying and couldn’t stop, the whole episode probably lasted about 15-20 minutes though I wasn’t in a state to accurately assess time. There was some cardiac pain that lasted after the episode finished.
I had epilepsy i.e. awakening seizures i have been taking lerace (levetiracetam) fro last 9 to 10 years. I am fine now and do not take medication regularly but now the problem is since last year i am not getting wet dreams night falls at all i am 30 years old furthermore i dont get aroused neither do i get erection nd the penis size has been decreased as well it doesn’t get hard. I get continuous urge for urinating one doctor gave me medicines for UTI and fertile S (tribulus terrestris 500 mg) but it didn’t gave me any relief for erection. He said because of your epilepsy which got started in my teenage i am facing the after affects in shape of erectile dysfunction. I took herbal medication as well but nothing seems working for me. I am very upset and nervous because of this thing because i am about to get married. Could you please help me out and prescribe me medication for erectile dysfunction and let me know whether this issue will get resolved or not. I shall be waiting for your reply with a high hope so i lost my hopes with other doctors and herbalist. I will be very grateful and thankful to you.
I have been suffering from fatigue for almost four weeks since recovering from a mild cold (no colored phlegm) with a bad asthma flare up with temp of 99.9 at first that has since stopped. They gave me a Z-pack just in case there was an infection and a breathing treatment coupled with methlpredisone pack to calm down my lungs. My current and only symptoms are a further decrease in energy, little appetite a swollen lymph node under one side of my jaw, canker sores, and Rosacea/acne break out on my face and forehead. Recent blood work by urgent care showed no signs of Mono ( I had it twenty years ago and symptoms seemed similar minus a sore throat) but they found that my white blood cell count was low. They want me take Augmentin now and return for a follow up with my doctor. Any ideas? Female, teacher, age 41, non-smoker non-drinker healthy weight, diet and lifestyle.
l am very concerned how the health of my mother whom is experiencing almost every symptom related to Liver disease and she has had HEP C for many years now her condition has progressively gotten worse over the last 6 months. we have been to the E.R numerous amounts of times this year and haven’t gotten anywhere. they say that they are limited to what tests they can perform in the E.R and keep making referrals to family physicians and it’s been a nightmare in trying to get an appointment with one. they’ve only done the standard blood tests that they do and i feel are not taking my mothers concerning symptoms serious. her symptoms include swelling in both legs+ankles,swollen stomach, headaches, severe fatigue,memory loss,confusion,abdominal pain on the right side under her rib cage,dark urine, over all weakness, varicose veins, twice this month she woke up with what appeared to be a burst blood vessel in her left eye and for the past 2 weeks she has been very sick with flu like symptoms including, vomiting,nausea, fever, diarrhea. Approximately a month ago now she experience bleeding from both her vagina and rectum . She is not getting any better, as a matter of fact she is getting a lot worse and I’m very concerned about the Health of my mother and feel like every attempt at trying to get to the bottom of what is going on with her has been a dead end. I am wondering if there is anyway of helping my mom at your clinic or if you could be of any help in helping lead me in the right direction. Im worried that if somebody doesn’t hear me out and try to help my mother SOON that she may not be ok. I’m also hoping you could help me understand these lab results.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
