20 female. Swelling in the center of my lumbar spine above my buttocks. It is accompanied with back ache around the area or as you could say the part where your spine curves inwards. It feels like someone is putting pressure on my spine and it’s going to snap. I also sometimes get the ache at the top of my spine just below my neck and a trapped nerve in between my shoulder blades.

I have asthma since the age 5.
Please I need advice. Last week I started feeling sick it started with spitting mucus and a very mild sore throat, then in the morning I was completely sick. Major sore throat, headache, coughing mucus, wheezing while breathing, sinuses, nausea, vomiting and runny nose and watering mouth. Went to the doctor he said it was strep throat and gave me Cefdinir.. About two days later I was feeling way better. Everything was gone except the mucus which is still here until today and wheezing while breathing. So today I woke up and brushed my teeth felt some type of burnt-tongue sensation. I put my phone light and see tiny red bumps on the back of my tongue.. It has been two weeks now that I have lower right flank pain that comes and go. It is rarely accompanied with bloating. I have praying over and over to not have a std. I am in tears. I really need advice please.
Here are the things that I have been doing:
-I got into a car accident last month(whiplash maybe)
-I drinked a lot of cayenne pepper mixed with a small amount of warm water with lemon the night before my small bumps on the tongue (if that can help)
-I have had unprotected sex also.
My grandpa is on a whole bunch of drugs already. One being Mirtazapine for his constant worry. A week ago his doctor gave him Budeprion XL to enhance the Mirtazapine. Immediately with in a couple days it had side effects and he called in the middle of the night not knowing where he was. 2 nights ago he called at 11:30 at night looking for my grandmother that passed 2 years ago and last night when we called saying we were coming over, he said he was getting ready for breakfast. We called his doctor yesterday and he suggested that he continue with his new medicine for a few weeks to see if it starts to help with his anxiety, but I feel this is much more important to get him off of it. We pulled the pills from his pill tray last night and feel it is doing more harm than good. Please tell me what your opinion is.
Hello,
I’m a 25 year old female and for the last 10 months I’ve suffered from chronic dizziness. I’ve experienced tremor in my left hand – most noticeably in the little finger and finger besides that one – for about a year. I also have increasing fatigue, aching and burning muscles, pressure in my left ear, mild swelling on the left side of my face, blurred vision and tearing in the left eye, and increasing muscle weakness. Today I’ve noticed the tremor has spread to my right hand, and I have an ongoing pulse-like spasm on the left side of my stomach, just below my belly button. I’ve been seeing a neurologist who believes I’ve suffered from episodic ataxia type 2 all my life (I’ve had vertigo attacks every 4 months since I was born). But as this kind of ataxia isn’t degenerative he’s struggling to understand what could be causing the rest of my symptoms. I’ve had an MRI which was clear for lesions etc and they don’t think it’s MS, but I’ve had to leave my job as I can no longer work a full day. I am now thoroughly miserable, and no-one can tell me what’s damaging the nerves to such an extent that I’m dizzy constantly, and the muscle weakness and fatigue are increasing – with particular pain in my neck and at the base of my skull. I’ve had my thyroid tested in the standard tests, and a vitamin panel done, and that all seems normal – but I do have a benign nodule in my thyroid which showed up on an ultrasound I had taken of the left side of my face and neck. The doctors think that because my levels are normal though, this isn’t the culprit.
I’m seeing my neurologist again next week but I want to come armed with some knowledge, because I have no idea where to look for next for answers. I feel like my life has been stolen away, and I just want a diagnosis. If any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone, please get in touch and let me know. I just need to know where I should be looking – I know something has gone wrong in my body, I just don’t know where!
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Hello,
I am a 30 years old woman. I had no health concerns previously. A week ago I had a medical abortion. It was ok at first but two days ago I started having numb legs and arms, fainting and breathing problems. I don’t know if these are normal symptoms? Should I be worried?
Please help
Thank you
32 year old male, no medical conditions, no medications.
I hurt my lower back by tweaking it; I was laying on my back and caught a slow falling object, maybe 80 lbs (a door) and it tweaked my back the wrong way. I went to a chiropractor and he fixed me up after two sessions but told me to take it easy for a few weeks.
Well… I was feeling good so did some manual labor, and while sitting on the toilet the next morning… man– pain. The pain is not as bad as it was… but now I am hunched over and it seems that my ab muscles have changed so it looks like I have a gut. Can’t quite stand up straight… and when I finally do, if I have to sit down, i start from square one again.
Any ideas

i’m a 2nd year middle school teacher
I take joint soother and ferrous sulfate prescribed by a doctor. The 2nd medication is only for when I have my period.
My problem is I am always feeling fatigued in the late afternoon and evening, as if I am ready to fall asleep. My job requires a lot of energy (walking around, talking loudly) and I have work to take home in the evenings usually. I try to eat well and sleep well and have good relationships to manage stress. I feel so tired every weekday that I automatically want to fall asleep once it’s 3:30 PM – 6:00 PM for a nap that usually lasts 20-40 minutes. I’m not sure if there is another underlying cause. I’m concerned since I’m young too.
Your help and consideration is highly appreciated.
i am 19 years old and currently suffer from rheumatoid arthritis i have tried 3 types of medications and seem to be getting no where recently my symptoms have gotten so severe its making me worry about my safety. I have felt pain in my neck and right shoulder for more than a year everyday i am in severe pain. The past 3 or so months have gotten so extreme i am now dealing with migraines , blurred vision, lightheadedness , nausea , and numbing of my right arm and coldness of both my hands , this has been every single day . This morning i woke to my hands frozen and the top of my spine in excruciating pain along with pain in shoulder neck and lower back part of my skull. What do u think i have ?
Good day. I need help i have really bad pain in both of my ovary sides… I went to the doctor he pushed on my right and it hurt. But then he pushed on my left side and i screamed with pain. I had a full bladder so when he pushed on my bladder it hurted but he said that’s normal for a overfull bladder. And then i peed in a cup. He then pushed it again i had no pain. He moved from the right side to the left and when he pushed i screamed again. He said i might be pregnant.. Then i told him i had sex unprotected with my bf on the 3 sept and i had my period on the 16 sept… I had a really bad period. And then October came i had my period on the 14th… Barely a period… Had no symptoms. Just ate a lot. But my next period is due on the 14 Nov. The doctor then said i wont be pregnant so he said i had bladder infection just by looking at my pee… He did not test it.. He gave me meficine which is not taking away my side pains but giving me nausea for a little while… Can i be pregnant unknowingly … I did take test.. Negative. Is this a case of ectopic pregnancy… My sister said it might be…. Or is the doctor right …do i have infection. I had bladder infection before that is why i know the feeling. Its not the same. I also had ovary infection about 5-6 months ago. The doctors did give me meds. I have not had any pain since then… But two months ago when i had sex with my bf … I had a really really bad period. Is there anything else that might cause this pain i am having in both my ovary sides or is it bladder infection?? I am only 19 years and completely freaked out now. Please help.
Thank you
Im a 29 year old female. My heart rate is always quite high, about 90/min and my blood pressure is usually in the mid range, about 110/70… the last few days my blood pressure has dropped to around 90/60, and I just checked it again and its at 85/55 and my heart rate is at 123/min. I have a weird cool sensation in my chest that I can’t really explain properly in words and it travels up to my throat. I have been under a lot of stress lately, so I’m assuming my symptoms are from increased anxiety but should I be concerned?
I am a 22 yr old female. For the past 3-4 years I have experienced spots all over my face. I had perfect skin until I was 18 and I slowly started to get red spots on my face. Originally I thought it was acne, and I would try to pop them but when I would do that there wasn’t any pus it was clear and oozed. Slowly but surely it started to take over my skin, I tried almost everything except for medications. I must mention six years ago I was diagnosed with Lupus after I was in the hospital with auto immune hemolytic anemia. My rheumatologist didn’t seem very convincing when he told me, he said that I had 7 out of the 11 criteria and put me on plaquneil. I stopped taking plaquneil after having adverse side effects and slowly recovered. Jumping back to my skin issue, I have always been very clean, I was my hands, nothing hardly touches my face, my foundation is fine when I wear it (Laura mercier) and I drink a decent amount of water. Organic soaps, and non sulfate soaps hardly help. My old doctor put me on mupirocin cream which worked and then it wouldn’t and then it would. The cream is too expensive so I have to ween myself off of it. I was on that cream almost everyday for a year and a half. My climate in my hometown is very extrodinarly hott and it seemed more aggravated when I lived there and I was always outdoors. I moved to the Bay Area and began working from home and saw improvement. I was in a controlled temperature and I didn’t have sun exposure. I have been looking into this for years and I am so insecure about my skin, I want to wake up in the morning without these spots and feel good about myself. Please give me suggestions! Thank you so much.
Hi, I have been having heartburn for a couple years, it has gotten much worse and has nothing to do with what I eat, been on prescribed medications omeprazole 40 mg daily and added ranitidine 150 mg twice daily – this was added couple months ago and its nor working. The last 3 months it has gotten worse to the point I get sick . And then the heartburn will hang on for several days not to the extreme but it’s there. I have also started a month ago having all over body itching with no rash, especially my jaw and neck. Im also having pain behind my right shoulder blade from time to time, the pain lasts for a few hours, at its worse the pain is about a 7. Its not from the way I sleep or exercise or work I have been paying attention to this also. For the past month I have not been sleeping well at all. I wake up several times a night, sometimes drenched in sweat. I have been getting 3 – 5 hours of sleep every night, I’ve always needed at least 8 hours. Very tired all day.
