I am a 34 yr old female with chronic back pain. I injured my back while lifting a patient in 2011. Herniated some disks. I have spinal stenosis and severe degenerative disk disease. I have had a decompression surgery done at the L5,S1 level, I think. I’ve also had a second surgery to insert a steel cage, rods and screws into my back. The decompression surgery gave me no relief and the cage helped for about 2-3 months. Following my last MRI, my neurosurgeon says that I have an overgrowth of bone ony left side and a lot of narrowing on my right side. I am in pain…severe pain.currently taking narco 10 three times a day and xanflex twice a day. Neuro wants to do another decompression surgery, but it didn’t help in the first place. I can’t sit, stand or walk for an extended amount of time. The sides of my thighs are throbbing. What do you suggest?

My mother is 72 and was generally healthy until few months ago…she had breast cancer 8 years ago but is in remission….she have done tests yearly….in April she had an light stroke….afterwards she seemed fine, but now she is very tired all the time and when she stands up for a little while, she wants to pass out. She loves coffee, but suddenly developed a very strong aversion towards it…so bad that if she smells it, she want to throw up. She also has a very bad constant cough. She did blood tests, but everything came back as normal and the dr said that they did not find anything wrong…..they tested for iron and magnesium deficiency, thyroid function and a full blood count…they also tested for cancer…I am very worried about her because something is definitely wrong….and now she does not want to go back. Can you please tell me where to go next
Good day my name is (…), I’m 38 years old. Female. I have had 3 C sections. (3 children) and two miscarriages. I have no serious medical history, but I have been struggling with a few things that are getting worse. I have had heart fibrillation for many years. It comes and goes, in the past I would get it maybe three to four times in a year, the last couple of months I have been getting it weekly. A doctor told me that it might be a magnesium deficiency so I started drinking magnesium. It is better but I still get it once or twice a week. I have been struggling with my menstruation as well. Bleeding heavily, bleeding for three weeks on end and then not having my period for more than a month. One doctor said its, diabetes 2 and Pcocs, the other one did a sonar and said I had a growth inside my womb, they did blood test etc… but they couldn’t pick up anything serious. When I went back for a scan they said it’s not a growth but it might be endometriosis. I have been struggling the last two years with joint pain and muscle pain. The last three weeks things have been very bad. I started feeling nausea, I have intense abdominal pain. My abdomen is sensitive and swollen, it’s not just one place but every where, my back, my sides. Going to the bathroom is painful, having sex is painful. I have constant joint and muscle pain, it feels like flu pains. I’ve picked up a lot of weight but struggle to eat cause I want to throw up the whole time. My stomach burns, I feel bad when I don’t eat and I feel terrible when I do eat. I have this disgusting metal taste in my mouth. When I wake up in the mornings my face and eyes are swollen, I cant see through my eyes, my hands, feet and ankles are swollen. I can’t get my shoes on. I am extremely tired and have absolutely no energy. Could you please help me, I don’t know if this is serious. I am currently on no medication. We have a family history of heart disease and diabetes, fibromalgia and arthritis.
Hi, my son is 8 weeks old and has had diarrhea (total water with a tint) and mucusy green diarrhea for a week and four days. He has had projectile vomiting, sweats (but no fever) and his sleep and demeanor have changed. Tonight, he began wheezing/crying/screaming in his sleep.
The dr ruled out dehydration and all bacterial viruses and blood from a stool sample this past Tuesday. I have been dairy- free for a week and a half without any change in his stools.Tonight, he won’t sleep and has been crying/wheezing in his sleep.
He has GERD and takes 0.5 mg of a prescription medication for it. We also give him gripe water every four hours and gas drops with every feed. He has no known allergies. He just had a VCUG procedure done, but the results were negative.
What do i do? What could it be? All I’ve been able to find online is Pyloric Stenosis and Gastroenteritis and that terrifies me.

I am a 33 year old female. I have been getting shingle outbreaks since I was 6 years old. I would get it once a year around the same time until high school. I then started getting it about twice a year. As I got older the outbreaks became more frequent, 3-4 times a year and even 2 outbreaks at one time. I get it on the back of my neck everytime either on the left side, which is usually the side it breaks out in, but I do get it on the right side also. There was 2 times in which the outbreaks came out on both sides of my neck. When I get it on the left side it is always right on the side of the bottom bone of neck where neck ends and back spine begins. When I get it on the right side, it runs down on the outer side of the back of my neck. This year I have had 4 outbreaks, Feb., April, July and right now. I have had discussions with my doctor about the shingle vaccine since it came out and he has always been against it because of my age and the vaccine has only been tested in older people. With the outbreaks becoming more frequent over the past few years, we discussed it again with my current outbreak and he would like to try it. I am all for it if it will help but have concerns because of my age. With my history of shingle outbreaks being so long and extensive, do you believe it will help prevent my outbreaks completely or atleast minimize my outbreaks? What concerns/issues do you have with getting the vaccination at my age and history? If I would want to have another baby a couple years from now, could the vaccination affect the pregnancy/child?
I am a 50 years old woman. I am stressful sometimes because of my job and the daily problems. 5 years ago I was diagnosed with helicobacter pylori infection, I got some medications to cure it. I have now constipation problems and I also have bile reflux, villious athropy and stomach ulcers. I have daily abdominal pain. I have nausea after every lunch, every day, and it lasts until I go to bed at night. What causes this?
I don’t eat fatty and unhealthy foods.
In my country the doctors can’t help me, they don’t know what causes my symptomes and what treatments to use. The medicines/medications they gave to me are not effective. I take Lansul which contains lansoprazole, Metoclopramide and Xanax.
I want to know what causes my symptoms and what is the treatment for it or what kind of medicines should I take.
I’d appreciate if you could help.
I’m a 21 years old female, 3 years post gastric sleeve. I’ve been dealing with neurological problems for over a year and last may my doctor asked me to take a vit B complex because I’m malnutritioned, I took it for a week and I ended up with a x200% or the normal value of B6 levels, my drs asked me to ignore it and stop taking the complex because I reached B6 toxicity. 5 months later its still double the normal level. I have kyphosis, bilateral thyroid nodules and tremors. i’m also anemic with a ferritin level of 4. And I went into tetany 4-5 times this year after hyperventilating.
Age 55, female, spinal degeneration. I am scheduled this week to have a caudal injection. It was originally scheduled to be performed in a surgery center with anesthesia, but my insurance would not cover it so it has been moved to the doctor’s office with a local anesthetic. Is this change in procedure typical, and is there any difference in the risks or recovery that I can expect due to the change in venue?
I am a 18 year old girl who has been suffering for pressure and pain behind eyes for almost three years. At first it came in periods during the day, but for five months now it has been a constant paind varying between weak and moderate. It is at its worst when I wake up (which makes my mood negatively effected by this) and when I lay flat down. It also hurts severely when concentraiting, and especially when looking up.
I have had no surgeries or been diagnosed for any sicknesses before. I do not have any other symptoms except from getting tired of the pressure, making me having to sleep on daytime.
Do you know what this could be?
I am a 20 year old man and since my 15 years old more or less I get red eyes every day. I don’t know why, there are various reasons that cause me red eyes, so I don’t know what it the problem.
Sometimes I get red eyes just for nothing, sometimes when the sun is strong and I don’t use sunglasses, sometimes when I don’t sleep enough, everytime I go out at night and feel my eyes are tired and they get red. And my eyes aren’t just a little bit red, they get so red to the point that all the people around me notice it and causes discomfort even to them. I have already talked to a doctor but I think she doesn’t care much and says it must be allergies, but I think it’s not because I have red eyes everyday and I don’t feel like I have any other allergy symptom. She prescribed me an eye drop named Allergodil, and it sometimes reduces the redness a little bit but most times it does nothing.
I really need help because I don’t know what to do anymore and because it is a thing that really affects my life, especially my self-esteem.
I hope you can help me.
Hello I am 21 male. I recently have had some heart related issues. I went to 2 cardiologist and they did not help me so I hope you can at least give me some more information. Let me explain in more details.
Currently I have the pain in the chest and constantly hear the high pitched sound in my right ear, it intensifies when I lay to sleep, and sometimes it even awakens me during the night it becomes really high pitched. Sometimes my arm goes numb when I place it in certain position, it feels like the blood vessels was blocked as soon as I move the arm it goes back to normal.
I used to have bronchitis as young. Also I smoked for 6 months period, very bad decision of mine but cant do anything about it retroactively. Sometimes I took some stimulants I also hope that did not destroy my heart. At the moment I fear that I have some sort of combination of heart and lung disease.
The doctors I went to did some tests including EKG etc. and said there was nothing wrong. What should I do?
