Am 75 years old. Have been treated for “Retro Peritoneal Fibrosis with an Aortic Aneurysm” for more than 12 years. After many drug attempts, I am now on Methadose, Morphine, Warfarin, Plendil, etc.
Am male, non-smoker. Nothing on the web is relevant, or even up-to-date..it’s all quoting 2007 report(s) as the latest. I understand this is rare, but the pain is a killer… (what meds or treatment do you recommend?)
Would like to know what I could do about my ankle on the left? It’s been swollen for over a year now, it doesn’t hurt but it looks like I’ve injured my ankle, and I can’t really wear short dresses that show my legs because people start to ask why my left ankle is swollen. Is there anything that can make it look normal again?
I’m 20-year-old male. I suffer from stuttering. This problem started a long time ago, approximately when I was 11 years old.
I suffer from stuttering. This problem becomes very clear in words beginning with the letter “T” or the letter “K” especially if this letter “T” or “K” is followed by a constant letter, for example “transparent”, “crash”. It may take me 3 or seconds to say these words.
That doesn’t mean that I can pronounce other words very normally.However, the stutter becomes clear in the previous case (K and T).
The problem is less clear when I read (but it occurs) , but is very clear when I think before saying
It also becomes clear when I talk with an important person.However, it sometimes occurs when I talk to my sister or brother or friend… (but less clear).
What makes the problem worse is that I’m to give a “lecture”in the university. I’m not fluent.
What’s the treatment??

Basically 2 years ago I had an emergency c section but the doctor cut to deep into my kidney so to stop infection they put a little stem (or stent) thing in my kidney which I should of had removed a week later but i didn’t.

But Friday just gone I find out I’m pregnant what do I do?

I am a 58 yr old male, good overall health, except I have been diagnosed with barrets esophagus and severe acid reflux. I have been on (Proton-pump inhibitors) ppi’s the last 20 years, 40 mlg the last 6-8 years, once a day. I have been trying to go off due to what I have read recently about long-lasting side effects, esp the kidney failure, as I donated one in 1980 to my father, and have no children. I have not found anything that seems to take it’s place, and struggle with just about everything I eat and drink though. Ranitidine seems to help the best, but only short term, and I would need to take it many times per day, every day. I just had my (Blood Urea Nitrogen Test) bun(6.43) and creatinine(123.76)checked. Would it be safe to go back on ppi’s, or what would you recommend? thanks!!

20 year old female. Having 8/9 recognized seizures in the last 6 months. In the last 2 months having abnormal headaches. ( never having such weird headaches so often before) headaches include a foggy feeling, pressure under the eyes, tingling face and tingling eyes drowsiness, shaky eyevision/ dizziness. Chestpain/ rapid pulseThese headaches could last either a few secconds possibly having multiple times a day and go away or all day. There was a 3 week period where it happened every day. Ontop of these headaches, since the seizures have started hair loss is a lot more noticeable, short term meory has gotten from decent to horrible, and once in a while very rare ocasion will i have a state of weakness where my arms will feel like jelly and something that i normally would be able to do wouldnt be able to do. On anti seizure drugs. What could be causing all of these symptoms? Are the headaches possibly seizure related? Or caused by the meds? Could the anti seizure meds ( carbamazepine) have anything to do with any of the symptoms that i am having? Or do the meds have nothing to do with any of it?
I am female aged 54 but still quite fit after having problems with my ears after a severe ear infection I was sent for a hearing test and an MRI to be on the safe side . This came back normal but they inadvertently found a 9 mm lesion in my head I’m unsure of where abouts as I didn’t understand the terms used but was told it shouldn’t be where it was . My consultant then said if it were his relative he would want an advanced MRI with dye injected . This seems rather a large lesion and I’m worried I have been getting stiff neck regularly also and wandered if it’s a symptom thanks for any help.
I am a 66 year old male with long term lower back injury for which I take Hydrocodone and Cyclobenzaprine. I also had an inverted papilloma in my sinus removed around 2010.
My problem is dry eyes. I went to the eye doctor back around 2002 and he put in tear duct plugs. They never helped, one fell out and the other was removed when I had my inverted papilloma removed.
The dry eyes ONLY occur at night and early evening. I use eye drops constantly during the evening and upon going to bed. If I delay applying the drops the condition becomes painful. Once I lay down to sleep I use the drops, but they only help for a few minutes and I begin to feel my eyes drying and sticking to my sockets. I have tried ALL TYPES of over the counter drops with the best temporary relief coming from Just Tears.
During the nights I wake with my eyes stuck solid in their sockets. I fumble for the drops and begin applying them. I sometimes have to pry my eyes open to get the drops in. Some nights are worse than others, but this occurs EVERY evening and night.
I have told a lot of doctors about this problem and they all say, interesting, keep up the drops.
This condition can only get worse with time and age.
I welcome any suggestions.
Thanks
Flesh colored birth mark now has discoloration and multiple small black mole. Look like cancer or nothing to be concerned about?
