My granddaughter is overweight. She is five years old. When I am with her she doesn’t eat very much. How can she be overweight when she hardly eats?
Medical Questions
Question: Pain in middle of chest?
I am 25 years old, weight: 95 kg, height: 1.63 m, smoking.
Two years ago I moved to Berlin.
About a year and a half I started to feel unclear pains in the middle of the chest (between the breasts) and middle back, usually at night. Pains that wake me from my sleep.
At the first time I went to the doctor, he thought that it is Heartburn, and gave me medication which did not help (Germany: pantoprazol AAA 40mg). In addition, I tried everything to easy the pain: cucumber, baking soda, almonds, etc. At the same time some medicines that should immediately treat heartburn. Note that on nights when the pain came, there was no direct connection between what I ate before bed or while eating (in most cases did not eat dinner). Last week, the pain appeared during the day, and after that I presented to the doctor all the medicines I took, he came to the conclusion that it’s not heartburn.
Details of the drugs:
(Germany): Riopan Magengel
(Germany): Pantozol
Calcium carbonate 750mg
Ultrasound examination showed that I have a large stone in the gallbladder. However, blood tests showed that everything is fine, the stone does not interfere and it should not cause the pain.
Currently, when writing these words, I feeling pain, and the painkillers that the doctor gave me, doesn’t work.
Two weeks ago I had general blood tests and they were normal.
What could it be and how I go from here? Is it connected to the overweight?
Question: Experiencing problems with my bladder
Hello, I am an adolescent girl and I have been experiencing problems with my bladder. I often drip urine when I don’t feel I have to go. This happens when I’m sitting, standing, walking, running, playing, or even sleeping. By the end of the day, my underwear is soaked with unnecessary urine. I have tried numerous things, such as going to the bathroom even when I don’t have to go, and changing my underwear regularly. If you can help it would be great. Thank you in advance.
Question: One year old blind boy can’t move..please help?
Hi! Would you be able to take a look at this? I am currently a nursing student. I saw this video on facebook and thought it might be Stiff Person Syndrome. But his body seems to be too stiff and it was said on the description that his body feels hard and that the boy is also blind. They are looking for help and I wanted to help them with finding out what is happening to the child. I’ve done a bit or research but nothing came up that suits the description of this young boy. Thank you in advance!

Question: Pain returns after tethered spinal cord surgery?
In 2009, I had a surgery of a tethered spinal cord, with a lipoma of the filum terminalle.
A few months ago, I started having strong back pain again, headaches (diagnosed as tension headaches), muscle spams in my legs. More recently, i started having a very strong pain in my legs. It is stronger closer to my hips and it extends through my legs.
I haven’t taken an MRI in around 3 years.
Should I go to a neurosurgeon? Do you think my spinal cord has rethered, since i have grown quite a lot since the surgery?

Question: I lost too much weight. How do I stop?
i! I am a 56-year-old female who is a chef in a very busy restaurant in NY. I get a full physical annually. Hey, at my age it is all about maintenance and early detection. I am 5’8″ tall and small-boned. I am half Dominican/West Indian and half German. Up until last year, my bloodwork and colonoscopy results showed no alarming signs. I was perimenopausal with 2 very juicy fibroids that caused me to be temporarily anemic due to months of near hemorrhaging which was relieved through laparoscopic hysterectomy. I recovered quickly and returned to work, but thought that I had sciatica and arthritic knees. This was due to a significant weight gain. I was weighing in at 220 pounds, the heaviest I’ve ever been. No wonder my knees hurt, right?
Anyway, enough background info. Here is the present issue. My most recent bloodwork resulted in a diagnosis of being prediabetic. Many Americans are getting this news from their primary physicians these days, but I was apparently dangerously there. I was sent to a nutritionist and have been following instructions religiously. I lost 40 pounds fairly rapidly and lowered my numbers to my physician’s satisfaction and delight. HERE IS THE PRESENT PROBLEM. I have lost an additional 13 pounds and have been told by those who I trust that it is time to stop losing weight. My father and boyfriend are a bit concerned that this is getting out of hand and worry that I may develop an eating disorder. After a lifetime of being a voluptuous gal, I can NOT believe that this is happening. However, I am educated, well-read and am well-aware of what this problem can become and am desperately in need of sound medical advice.
How do I maintain the necessary, carb-conscious eating habit which has now become second nature, yet stop losing weight? Is it about an occasional slice of pizza or bowl of rice? Should I be terrified of regaining weight? Because I am but I know that I must address this issue before a problem develops.
The weight loss has to stop without a weight gain taking place. How do I do this? HELP!!!

Question: I’m completely debilitated when I’m sick, why?
I don’t get sick very often because I don’t go out my house much. But whenever I’m around someone who is sick, I almost always get it. Once I’m sick, I can’t leave my bed, the weakness and sore throats are crippling. Also every time I get sick I get horrible post nasal drip and chest congestion at night that leave me miserable. I see people who are sick all the time who go to work, and are out and about. They may not feel the greatest but they have the ability to get up. It feels like I’m completely debilitated when I’m sick. Why is this? Does it has something to do with the strength of my immune system.
Question: Bad pain in my thoracic – orthopedic doctors baffled
Have pretty bad pain in my thoracic, neck too but thoracic is very bad. The pain goes through to my chest and this is on the left side. Have done stress test and EKG to rule out heart. Have done xrays AND MRIs and each area, lumbar, thoracic and cervical. I’m a 54 year old male and these images show not much more than degeneration of about a 60 year old. I also have some tingling on my left side and under my left armpit. Just had facets injections at T5-T7 with zero results. 12 years ago I had a herniated disk in low back, had epidural and has been relatively ok in low back. Occasional minor pain but nothing major. ALOT of pain in my thoracic near shoulder blade….worse when sitting or trying to reach up or behind my back. I’ve been to 3 different ortho doctors and all are somewhat baffled.
