Surgeon left a broken anchor in me, Should I be concerned?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

I recently had surgery to repair a major pectoralis tear on my left side. The surgeon used suture anchors to reattach the tendon. He placed 4 anchors into my arm, but only 3 are being utilized in the repair. Apparently the 4th anchor broke during the procedure and he could not retrieve it. So I have a broken, unused anchor in my arm. Two questions: 1) Is 3 anchors enough for an effective repair? 2) Should I be concerned about the 4th, unused anchor that is in my bone? Thank you very much in advanced.

I have pain in chest, my doctor thinks it is inflammation but I am not sure?

I’ve been having pain in the left side of my chest for about 2 years now. I’ve seen my doctor multiple times, but she doesn’t really know what it could be other than some kind of inflammation. My doctor prescribed ibuprofen which I took for a month or 2, and it did get rid of the pain. A couple months later and the pain is back. I start taking ibuprofen again, but this time it didn’t help. About 2 months ago, I started consuming more Omega-3 fats from fish oil supplements and salmon, and again, it helped at first, but now it seems to not help as much even though I’ve gone from 1 tablet a day to 3. I’m getting worried again that there’s something wrong with my heart, but my doctor seems to think it’s nothing serious. She sent me to get an X-ray a while ago, but nothing came up. Exercise also seems to help temporarily with the pain. What could this pain possibly be?

I was diagnosed with chlamydia and now with Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

Age: 24
Gender: Female

Details:
I was diagnosed with chlamydia back in July after contracting it in March. I got treated and took 1 gram of Azithromycin in a single dose.

Over the last few months I have been experiencing pain during sex and more painful periods. I went to an STD clinic to get retested and they suspected I had PID.

I was subsequently prescribed doxycycline twice a day for two weeks. In this time my test results back and I was found negative for chlamydia and everything else.

Was the doctor correct in diagnosing me with PID? And, if so, has she prescribed me the correct medication?

Thanks

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

Hello doctor!
I am worried because before 8 months i did a transvaginal examination that results like: the size of uterus 63mmx 32mm x 40 mm. Normal stucture. Normal cavity. Right ovary with a bilateral microcystic structure 35mm x 23 mm. Left ovary with a ilateral microcystic 38mm x 23mm. Douglas free.
After the examination i took during 6 months jasmin, and i did a transabdominal examination that resulted : the right ovary with a microcystic structure 41mmx 25 mm, left ovary with a micro cystic structure 39mmx25mm. Why the microcystics are not disapear? Will i have any difficulty in my fertility in the future? I am 22 years old, since i was 14, I had problems with acne in my face and too much pain during periods. Now i continue taking jasmin, and the acne and the pain during periods are disappeared but i still have the microcysts. Please what can i do? I’ m afraid of not getting pregnant in the future i would appreciate your answer! Thank you

I am ill for two years with gastro issues, sweating, weight loss, thick phlegm?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

I have not been well for two years with gastro issues, sweating, weight loss, thick phlegm. In fact a lot of the symptoms point to some form of autonomic neuropathy. I also have thick phlegm and a strange tickling sensation in my chest. A low dose ct was clear in Feb 2016, but I am worried about sclc causing paraneoplastic autonomic neuropathy with the tumor being too small to appear on CT. Am I being silly? I am male 49.

I had dengue fever, feel numbness, losing my vision, broke into cold sweat?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

22-female, had dengue at 20. No medications. Few days ago, while standing for about 10minutes, i suddenly felt numbness on my neck up to my head and then as time passes by i am losing my vision little by little and replaced by something like blurry black rain instead, when the vision left was only about 5-10%, i decided to sit and drink water. After few minutes i broke into cold sweat and little by little my vision came back but the stiffness in my neck was still there. Does this normally happen? If not, what could possibly be wrong with me?
