Medical Questions
My Labia Minora are swollen with blood. Daktarin doesn’t work?
My Labia Minora are swollen with blood. There is no itching, no infection, no soreness, no tenderness….. You can squeeze them and the blood goes away, but when released the blood returns…. I have no fever no illness ect……..they are just enlarged. My Doctor prescribed a 2 week course of DahKtarin (in case I had a fungal infection – even though I had no symptoms, and for swelling) but this has made no difference.
What could this be?
I have many symptoms: chills, shakiness, trouble sleeping, weakness, need second doctor opinion?
Hi. I’m 34 guy. I have been having some symptoms that are of great concern to me like chills (that feel like they hurt my bones), bad shakiness that can be in my hands legs or torso, extreme and when I do I wake up every 45-60 min sweating and in terror (Like a night terror but when I remember they dreams they aren’t bad), sometime I hallucinate sights and sounds (maybe from lack of sleep), and when I eat regardless of what I develop a burning sweat like a sunburn, not like eating spicy food. I tried different diet and nothing has worked. The last blood test I had showed my thyroid level as 9.43 and I had was told I’m slightly anemic but none of the tests showed anything except that my stored iron was high but my iron level was good. At the same time I injured my neck and have developed a stabbing sensation then feels like an electric shock to the right of my spine. Every time I have gone to the doctors office or emergency room they treat me like I am looking for pain medication even though I state I don’t want any I want help and a diagnosis. These symptoms have been going on for 6 months or more but my previous doctors told me it was in my head or referred me to a specialist who said it wasn’t their field and I got ping ponged back and forth between my general doctor and random specialist. I just moved to a new state and am trying to find a general doctor, I’m on Medicaid so it’s not easy. Many times they label me as seeking pain medication even tho I specifically tell them I don’t want it, I want help and a diagnosis. Some doctors have suspected an autoimmune disease. I have lost a great deal of muscle and strength. From being a construction working carrying 50+lbs of materials to not being able to carry my small children at times. Can someone please help me? Is their something I’m doing wrong, or a better way to talk to a general doctor about my problems where they won’t treat me poorly? I’m going insane from all of this and don’t know what to do about it.

My daughter’s blood tests show some scary diseases and syndromes online?
Hello I am contacting you about my daughter. She turns 14 tomorrow. Long story short, she had blood work 8 months ago, everything normal, except alsosterone (blood) came back at 2.5. Doctor was not concerned. I had labs sent to our family doctor, and he was not concerned. Last week at a routing physical, I asked about this again, they said at my request they would order cbc, panel, functions, cortisol, aldosterone. They instructed her to fast. She had the blood test the next morning at 7:50 am sitting in a chair. Doctor called that all was normal EXCEPT Cortisol 20, aldosterone 2.5. Sent me to pediatric endocrinologist. She was not concerned either. I want to feel at peace, but when I look up these levels online, I see scary diseases and syndromes. Please give me some insight to these levels, are they ok? I am so worried. Thank you.
I had terrible tooth and gum pain on the right side of my mouth with both upper and lower teeth? Dentist doesn’t see anything wrong?
27, Female, Married with 3 children. (No major medical history beyond giving birth) Currently I take a medication called buprenorphine (generic subutex) and have taken it for 6 years. It is for opiate dependency maintenance. I am tapering off buprenorphine and have been for over 4 months. I am on the last month of tapering off, right now. I dont believe my issue is due to the buprenorphine at all. I am also taking clindamycin which has been in my system over 90 hours right now. My issue started about 8 days ago. I had terrible tooth and gum pain on the right side of my mouth with both upper and lower teeth. A couple days later the pain was in my front top two teeth.. The pain has been honestly horrible at times to where i feel like im going to pass out. 1 night i described it as possibly worse than child birth and as stated gave birth to 3 children naturally. About 5 days ago i slept with a heating pad on my face and woke up with a very swollen upper lip, mustache area, and nose.. I went to the ER that day because no dentists were open. They prescribed the clindamycin at 300mgs caps, 4 times a day. The swelling spread to my lower cheek/jaw area by the next day and has been swollen around both side of my lower cheek and jaw/ nose/ upper lip/and mustache line area for a few days now. I went to the dentist yesterday and they took xrays of my teeth but told me there were no abscessed teeth that they could see. They prescribed me an antibacterial oral mouth wash but i do not know what the problem is. I anticipated there to be an infection in my teeth somewhere and possible abscess but also anticipated the swelling and pain to go away at least by 3 days of being on the antibiotic. I dont know what to know nor what could be causing this pain and swelling. I read about it possibly being a sinus infection but i dont have any swelling around my eyes nor forehead. just my lower nose, upper lip, mustache line, and lower cheeks on each side accompanied by pain in my front top tooth. I did have a filling done in between both front teeth about 7/8 weeks ago followed by another filling done in the left bottom side of one of my molars about 1 month ago.. Other than a sinus infection i am worried about the cause of this pain and swelling. Ive read different things about thyroid issues and only bring them up because ive also read that buprenorphine can cause thyroid issues. Any help as to why i would have swelling and pain in so many different areas. I have so much to do because ofchristmas and i dont know if i should go back to the ER, dentist, or a MED express type place. Thanks for reading this.
I’m really scared something is wrong with my kidneys?
Hello! I’m a 19 year old woman and recently I’ve become sexually active. The past 4-5 months. 5 months ago when I went to get my physical done I was referred to a obgyn and my appointment is in 9 more days. I’ve been to the doctors so much I think I live there I had 4 UTI’s and BV 1 time these past months. I’ve recently been to my primary care doctor and had a urinalysis done and a swab for discharge done last month because I thought I had a uti and BV Agian. I experienced pain in my private area, had frequent urination, back pain, yellow-green discharge//no smell//no sign of std, but there seems to be no problem through the results. they still prescribed me with a penicillin type of antibiotic and I took them the right way. I’m scared something may be wrong with kidneys but couldn’t they find that through urinalysis? For the past two days I’ve now had a fishy smell now come out of my mouth when I wake up and noticed in my rectum area today (same fishy smell) IM TOTALLY A CLEAN PERSON I brush my teeth the right way everyday and take 2-3 showers a day???!. I have been having back pain still, pain in my private area. I haven’t been peeing a lot like I was. I still have a discharge since the doctor visit but there also was nothing wrong through tests swabs ….it has been coming out clumpy and somewhat dry(kind of feels like water / pus) now not yellow/green. I haven’t had sex since 2 months ago and a few weeks ago it came out green but stopped and is clumpy now sometimes very thick and white still no smell. I’m really scared something is wrong with my kidneys?! PLEASE AMSWER !my ob-gyn is in 9 days (again) I’m more worried about my kidneys.THANK YOU
I have been having joint pain in my hands, fingers, balls of feet and toes. These areas feel sore, stiff and swollen?
I have been having joint pain in my hands, fingers, balls of feet and toes. These areas feel sore, stiff and swollen (they don’t look swollen though) every morning and sometimes during the day. I also feel very tired and like I’ve never had a restful sleep, even though I sleep 7-8 hours per night. This has persisted for 2 months now. I am a 30 year old female with a BMI of 20. I have a 2.5 year old daughter who sometimes picks up viruses which I then end up also getting. My inflammatory blood tests came back normal, my full blood panel was normal, also Ferritin, B Vits and Vit D were also all normal. I take no prescription medication, only an organic 1 a day multi vitamin supplement for women and 1000mg high quality omega 3. I took a high dose probiotic for approx 3 days around 2 months ago but stopped as this was around the time the symptoms started and I was worried the probiotics were causing the symptoms. I exercise 2-3 times per week and eat a varied, mostly organic diet. I suffer with anxiety and aside from this am in otherwise good health.

We are in the jungles of Equatorial New Guinea and developed open sores and swollen legs?
I am a 25 year old female working in the jungles of Equatorial New Guinea as part of a research team. We had a fellow researcher develop some open sores and his leg swelled up about 4 times the original size. They gave him several antibiotics but nothing is workings. The swelling move into his testicles and he is now urinating blood. He is still conscious and has a good attitude but the doctors in Malabo can’t figure out what it is and he can’t fly by plane. They just medivacked him out to a German hospital today.
I too developed an open wound but I spoke up before it got too bad, as he waited 6 days before saying anything. I have been given an antibiotic and the wound has started getting crusty and seems to be healing after a couple days, but the swelling is not going down. I have attached a couple of pictures. My question is: should I get on a plane and go back to the United States where I could get some better medical help or should I give it a few days to see if it continues to heal. The redness around it doesn’t seem to be going away yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
