Ok so I’m got g through the last part of my treatment for past breast cancer , herceptin every three weeks from last March until next march. I also almost two months ago just started working basically full time in a grocery store deli which is very very physically demanding. So about a month ago I started having numb tingly arms and hands I noticed my joints In my finger are red and swollen . It wakes me up all night from painful numbness ,and .my back and shoulders are always knotted up . Tplight I was rubbing the knots out of my neck and I got a little dizzy. It wentailed away but now three of my fingers on my right hand are painfully numb. I’m female , 48, I had a lumpectomy and partial node biopsy last August with good margins but a few risk factors .can u tell me what u think?
I am 14, and have no medical history. So here’s the thing, i have symptoms of anxiety, depression and i have alot of mood swings. i can never stay focused and sometimes blank out. I cant ever study well be cause nothing sticks and i need the teacher to repeat what she says so i get it. I will get headaches for no apparent reason and i have trouble sleep, yet im tired everyday. When I search up the what it could be i get a lot of different diseases and disorder. like GAD, bipolar, etc. Ive had these symptoms for a while now.
My daughter is 3 years old and has reflux in her kidneys, she has a high temp and has been complaining of a bad stomach and back could this be a sign of a kidney infection?
In May of this year, I had an acute onset of tingling in both my legs. Each leg was tingling from the top of the outer pelvis bone, above the hip joint, to the soles of my feet. The tingling was strong and constant, but was not accompanied by any pain or weakness.
I went to the E.R. because my blood pressure was also dangerously high at the time. They gave me something like valium and the blood pressure returned to near normal. (I have had slightly elevated blood pressure for several years, prehypertension.)
By the next morning, the tingling had subsided, but it continued to return now and then, never as severe, and never for as long. The frequency and severity of the tingling continued to decrease, but never completely went away.
I contacted my primary care physician to discuss the issue. She had me start vitamin B12 and had me do a nerve test of my legs. The nerve test (some electro-shock type of test) said everything looked great. She also started me on blood pressure medication, first hydrochlorothiazide, which gave me some mood side effects, then Losartan potassium, which seems to have gotten my BP very near normal.
Over time, I started to experience the same tingling in my hands and my forearms. I also started to notice that all the tingling seemed to be correlated with being in contact with a firm surface. (My hand tingles when I use my computer mouse, the soles of my feet tingle when driving, my legs tingle in bed if one lays across the other, etc.) Generally, if I change position, I can get the tingling to subside or mostly subside.
Over the last couple of days, the tingling in my right hand has increased in frequency and strength.
My primary care physician has been contacted, but she seems unsure what to think. I’m hoping for some other ideas.
SOME MEDICAL HISTORY:
I have the genetic bone condition osteopetrosis (not osteporosis). I wonder about the condition of the ultra-dense bones in my spine, and the spinal cord, but my primary care physician did not seem concerned about this when I mentioned it to her.
I also have metal-on-metal cobalt/chromium hip resurfacing replacements, from 2006. Recent blood tests show cobalt and chromium at very low levels, but not zero.
I am a 46 year old male. 6’0″, 265 pounds. I have had a yearly blood sugar check and it has always been normal. My primary care physician did another blood sugar check (some test that gives the blood sugar average over recent history) and it was normal as well.
ALLERGIES:
Clindamycin – rash. Likely sensitive to gluten, celiac test was “equivocal”. Have been on gluten-free diet for a few years.
I had a heart attack almost a year ago, I am 25yts old, female, 125lbs, and I’m 5’7. Lately I can not get my heart rate down. I have a Fitbit watch and my resting heart rate is between 85-90. Is this something I should be concerned about? I have been experiencing chest pain, but I find the issue is caused by drinking energy drinks.
I am a 61 year old female and have been diagnosed with insulin resistance but am unable to take metformin XR 500 due to severe side effects. My doc has suggested Januvia 10mg. Will this work as I do not have diabetes 2 as yet.
46yo female I have autoimmune disease-rare form of sarcoid and probable lupus. In the last year I have had an impossible scalp/ears seborrhea that nothing will help and its spreading now to almost entire scalp. In the last 6 mos developed a couple of lesions; derm was slightly dismissive about my concerns of all this being related to my autoimmune processes. Bx showed psoriasform spongyatic dermatitis; now I am developing them everywhere….its like my skin is out of control. Are these problems likely systemic and related to the sarcoid or lupus?
31 YO, Caucasian female. MS symptoms such as vertigo, balance problems, daily headache and chronic migraine, tinnitus and hearing loss in left ear, memory problems, pinching/stinging pain, itching/tingling skin, muscle spasms and muscles easily weaken… Tests were run to rule out other causes from lupus to diabetes to hepatitis etc… Before symptoms began mri was Normal, but now States “Minimal nonspecific faint spotty FLAIR
hyperintensities in posterior periventricular white matter.” this was completed without contrast. My question is, does this Mri finding suggest MS? Is a LP or second episode/mri still needed for diagnosis? Any insight is helpful, just struggling to find answers and effective treatment on this journey. Follow up not until January. Thank you!
30yr old mother of two, presenting with high fsh,no period since june, other menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats etc. Suffer hypermobility pain which is heightened.

My thoracic spine and shoulder blades have become very sore and tender. Could I have breast cancer
My 13 year old daughter just got news that she has a yeast infection. After that, we went to the local drugstore and picked up monistat 3. she told me that “down there” is very red and sore. She is scared to show anyone, including doctors. She is experiencing bad chest pains after using Monistat, is this normal?
I am a 47 year old female that has an overall dull pain in the lower right abdomen almost at my C-section scar. Sporadically through the day it becomes sharp for a few seconds. The pain radiates to my back and down my leg to the knee. I have noticed that I feel full, bloated, and have more gas. My stools have been thick but very long. Any ideas?
Hello I am a 28 year old female who does not smoke, drink or use drugs. I get sick very often, one day I woke up and started throwing up bile. When I went to the doctor I was told there weren’t any signs of bacteria and I did not have a fever. My blood work was flagged for the following however: MCHC 35.4 (reference range31.5-35), Neutrophils 12.1 (reference range 1.2-7.3), Lymphocytes .3 (reference range .5-3.5) and Monocytes were .9 (reference range .2-.7) My RBC was 4.87 (reference 3.67-5.38) and my WBC was 13.5 (reference range 3.2 – 10.6). Is there a problem with these results? And if I was suffering from an acute infection would it not show up through tests and not raise my temperature? My temp at the time was 97.9 degrees and it is currently 98.3. Thank you!
I am an 19 year old male. About a month ago I was sick throwing up and a fever for about a week & I lost about 10 lbs. I’m feeling good now, I went and got blood work done two weeks ago and my cholesterol and liver enzymes are high, and for the past week I’ve had swollen lymph nodes on the back of my neck. They don’t hurt or anything but in not sure what’s going on. Is it HIV, or cancer or something?
this is in regards to my 11yo son. He has been diagnosed with multiple AVMs of the face.
He has had 9 angiograms with embolisations to various areas and one Avm surgically removed.
Just recently he had a head CT as a new AVM appeared at the back of his skull.
After the CT he had a noticeable tremor in his right hand.
During the CT some of the dye /liquid went into his cannula but the cannula came unscrewed and liquid leaked out , how much I don’t know.
The radiologist reloaded a new batch and started again. Could these tremors be caused through too much dye/liquid being given?
He still has tremors over a week later and the pediatrician is concerned. Is the extra dye given a possible reason for the tremor
thanks (—)
