I had an arthroscopy, breathing issues, diagnosed deep vein thrombosis right leg, now in left?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

(30yo Male) A year ago, I had an arthroscopy on my right ankle to treat an osteochondral lesion of the talus. Days later, I was having breathing issues and had a pain my right calf. I was diagnosed with DVT in my right leg, multiple PE’s, and was given a 6 month course of Xeralto. I had this same operation again 2 weeks ago, only this time I was put on a prophylactic course of Clexane (120mg/day) for 1 week, then 20mg/day of Xeralto. Today I have the same ache in my LEFT calf. Is it at all likely to be DVT?

I started getting mild sickness after eating about 1 year ago. it has now progressed?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

I am 57 , male and have osteoarthritis left knee, emphysema, sleep apnea and depression. my meds are paxil, buspar, Lisinopril and lovastatin. my symptoms now are stomach issues. I started getting mild sickness after eating about 1 year ago. it has now progressed to a full feeling all day. not bad in the morning until I have my first cup of coffee then feel full. I put off eating until later in the day because once I eat I become overly full and feel kind of lethargic the rest of the day. my bowel movements seem normal. I have been to my doctor and had referrals to gastro doctors but am on disability and medicaid. getting a doctor is damn near impossible. closest that would accept me was over 2 hours away. thank you

14 year old, heart burns, acid reflex, stress, out of breath, can this be cancer or stress?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

Im 14 years old I have been having abdomenal pain (around my belly button and a little up ) and nausea for the past 4 years This all started 4 years ago the day of my maths exam ..I am not allergic to any foods not medications but my mother,brother and I suffer from migraines.I have done several tests for urin faeces and for lactose these came out all negative but the faeces one came a little bit over the normal amout ( I don’t have any blood with my faeces or anything) so the doctor recommended a colonoscopy and the stomach one (I’m sorry I don’t know what it is called) the stomach one came normal and the colonoscopy showed a little swelling in the large intestine which the doctor said that they don’t know the reason behind it .. so my doctor recommended that I cut all milk products,cheese and eggs which isn t really making a difference. I also have un regular periods I have only had 3 periods in two years and my obgyn scheduled an ultrasound. I suffer as well from stess I stress for the slitest things .. since then I have been having these Heart burns and what I think is acid reflex no kind of medication worked (my father also suffers from hurt burn and acid reflux), dizziness from the smallest things like people walking and when I stand up (my doctor said that it might be low blood pressure) and since I have scoliosis i have a back brase which I think causes me to when I climb a flight of stairs I have no oxygen and can’t breath . Sometimes when I am on the bed my hearth starts racing like I after a race (my mother has heart problems since she has a hole in her heart) . So my question is if you are familiar with my case and if you have any idea of what I have?can this be cancer or is it stress? Thanks for your time ?

Why my glucose level drop so much after consuming glucose, doctor is puzzled and cannot give any answer?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

Hi Dr, age 57, recently my Dr did a blood glucose test on me in our general hospital, FPG result 5.7 and 2 hrs later OGTT result 3.7. Well he claim that I vomited, which was not the case neither did drink any water during the 2 hrs. Then send me for second test, 2 weeks later, again FPG 5.6 and OGTT 3.2. He is puzzled and cannot give any answer , just brushing off the question by saying at least we know you are not diabetic. My question is, why my glucose level drop so much after consuming the glucose? And am I diabetic? Thank you.

My ankles and feet are swollen 24/7 doctor can’t seem to figure out what is causing it?

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

I’m a 28 year old female. I’m retaining water really bad in my legs. My ankles and feet are so swollen 24/7 that I can’t wear any other shoes other than my flip flops right now. It’s been going on for about 5 years. I’ve been doctoring for it for over 2 years now and they haven’t found anything. I’ve had an ultrasound done on my heart, lungs, kindeys, liver, bladder, uterus an legs. So far they have found nothing. I’ve had multiple blood tests done and they also all came back fine. I limit the amount of salt I intake because I know it makes it worse. I often times wake up with my face an hands swollen as well. I’ve now taken two different types of water pills an neither of them have worked. I have no allergies and I’ve never had any health problems until recently with the water rentention. I need help trying to figure this out. My family doctor can’t seem to figure out what is causing it. I’m so sick of not being able to wear shoes.

I am having increased urination issues. It seems like I just finish going and when I stand up I have an urgent need to go again. And I really have to sit and go again.
