I am a 44 years old female and fractured my coccygeal vertebra?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

I am a 44 years old female and fractured my coccygeal vertebra 26 years ago. I did not have any pain after my fracture had healed but ever since May 2015 I am suffering from coccygeal vertebra pain. I had a MRI/NMR test in 2016 which displayed chronic inflammation of the coccygeal vertebra soft tissue. For the past two years, I have received shockwave therapy, super laser therapy, acupuncture, moxibustion, Chinese and western medicine therapy. None of which worked. In september 2015, I’ve also suffered from anal pain and i found relief in coccygeal vertebra and anal pain whilst lying down on my sides. Since september 2016, my hips became sore and tender due to sleeping on my sides. Now I cannot lie down, sit or stand for long periods of time, which had severely affected my sleep. The hospital examined my hip, legs, groin, lower abdomen, pubic symphysis pain and suggested myofascial lesions (aseptic inflammation). What are some possible treatments?

I was diagnosed with endometriosis via laparoscopy?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

I was diagnosed with endometriosis via laparoscopy March 2016. Had an endometrioma on left ovary as well as “endometriosis everywhere”. Opted for Mirena IUD to control, but had it removed one year later due to side effects being greater than the pain.
My question is, at what point do I request another surgery? The pain is quickly becoming severe (wakes me up in the middle of the night, taking too much ibuprofen to control the pain….up to 4000mg a day) but after two ultrasounds, the visual evidence does not support another surgery. The pain only occurs during my cycle, but it is circling back to point that I have to schedule around it.
I have tried the pill in the past, but I do not do well on it, to say the least. And my “doctor” (NP) tells me that if I do not take hormonal assistance, there is nothing else to be done.

Do I have diabetes type 2 or sensory neuropoathy?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Hello for a couple of months now my fingertips have been feeling numb, at first i thought it might be diabetes type 2 , but i had myself tested and it was negative for diabetes 2 and everything on my test was fine.I did some research and think i might have sensory neuropathy, my general pediatrician recommended injection but when i researched i read that it is just for pain. My question is would the injections stop the numbness too? and is there anything i can do for temporary relieve before i see a specialist? Thank you

Girlfriend has crippling period pains that are certainly Endometriosis?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Girlfriend has crippling period pains that are certainly Endometriosis. Recent scan showed Endometrium was 16mm thick. Crippling pains and completely immobile during her period, and sometimes in between. Getting worse month by month. Painful going to the toilet when on her period. Unqualified Cambodian doctor has prescribed Clotrimazole& Tinidazole. I think a progesterone cream is the way to go forward, however it is not advisable to take progesterone and Clomitrazole together and the latter interacts with the former.

I will attach the ultrasound results.

For almost one month now I have been dealing with stomach problems?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

For almost one month now I have been dealing with stomach problems. It started when I was away on holidays. My travelling companion fell ill for 2 days with a stomach bug (presumably) and felt okay. She got sick once, rested in bed and was okay soon after. I fell ill approximately 2 days after her. Symptoms of nausea, fever, light-headedness – however I did not get sick. The symptoms improved over time, but I still find that I have not completely recovered. I don’t have much of an appetite, I feel a type of bulge or tightness is my throat/oesophagus and I am unable to eat large amounts. I would describe my symptoms similar to acid reflux, but I don’t feel that burning sensation.

I went to see a doctor one week after being ill while I was still on my holidays. He diagnosed it as a stomach virus. I have a family history of gallstones and h pylori infections. I have been putting off going for a second appointment as I feel my symptoms aren’t that severe, plus I feel as though I am anxious about the whole situation and that could be making my symptoms worse than they actually are. Could you recommend what course of action I should take? Is a second appointment justified, or is it likely a lingering stomach virus? Is there a need for urgency?

Thanking you in advance,

(…)

I may have autoimmune hepatitis, please advise, need second doctor opinion?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Hello, I went to a gastro to talk about gallstones, he said I have fatty liver (nafld) and ran bloodwork. Everything ok, EXCEPT:
positive ANA speckled 1:80
F-ACTIN IgG 22.5
SMOOTH MUSCLE IgG TITER: 1:20
he sent me back to my primary, who sent me to rheumatologist, who said it was not autoimmune, and of no concern to him, he sent me back to gastro. Redid ASMA and it came back Weak Positive at “20”. Is what they told me. Now, nothing, he does not seem concerned. I have googled all this, and it shows hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, and horrible diseases. I am at a loss and do not know what to do. I know my Hepatitis came back all non reactive, and I donate blood every year. I am so confused. Thank you for any insight

Both of my feet and ankles swelled up really bad and were very painful, also red?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

So about 12 days ago, at night, both of my feet and ankles swelled up really bad and were very painful, also red. It was mostly gone the next morning but later that night it happened again only significantly worse, to the point where I could barely walk. The next few days it was seemingly on the mend and was going good until 2 nights ago now but only the top of the left foot now this time. It feels like I broke it pretty much but I haven’t had any injuries as to where that would happen….I guess I’m just wondering if anyone knows what this is…..?? Please help
