Experiencing a dull ache on the lower right side of my abdomen?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

I have been experiencing a dull ache on the lower right side of my abdomen. It has been around for a few years, and it comes and goes. It feels like a very dull pain, or a burning sensation. It doesn’t feel swollen. Touching the affected area doesn’t hurt, I really have to press on it to feel the pain. I don’t have a fever, or nausea. I provided a picture and marked where I feel the pain.

I have noticed that I get this ache when my menstruation is about to start. I’m due to begin any day. I’m just hoping it’s not something serious like appendicitis. Thank you.

Suffering from frequent urination for over a month, what is wrong with me?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

I’ve been suffering from frequent urination for over a month. Symptoms were severe with associated R lower back pain,pelvic pain, and pain while urinating. I would go to the restroom every 10 minutes or so. Volume has been high most bathroom visits. Even when a small amount of urine in my bladder, I felt like I needed to go immediately. Placed on antibiotics x10 days, symptoms decreased but still present. Bathroom visits every hour to two hours. What is wrong with me?

Felt a sudden sharp pain in the front of my thigh at the very top, what is it?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

I am 56 yrs. old, female, and in decent health. I work hard every day, own my own business and am either waling or standing many hours every day. Yesterday about 3pm I was driving and felt a sudden sharp pain in the front of my thigh at the very top. It lasted just a second. Then it happened again just a second later. I felt it again once today about 3pm when standing at work. A friend suggested DVT and suggested I take an aspirin. I took one 325 mg. aspirin. About 5 hrs. later I felt it again, just once. I took two aspirin this time and am sitting down now. I had a hip replacement on that side 1 1/2 yrs. ago and when I was 17 yrs. old I had a blood clot in a calve from folding my leg at the knee and sleeping on it during a transoceanic flight. I am really nervous and don’t have a doctor. I live quite far away from any doctor and don’t know how to tell if its a muscle tear or not. I can’t really afford to see a doctor but if I do, what kind of doctor do I see. What do my symptoms sound like to you? thank you.

Feel uncomfortable when lying down, ct scan and blood tests normal?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

Hello. I am a 27 year old male. For about the last year I have had this weird sensation on my left side. From my left hip up to below the bottom of my left rib cage. It’s mostly just when I am laying on my side. When I lay on my left side it feels like I am laying on something a flat piece of cardboard or something like that. It’s mostly along the hip and under the ribs. When I turn over and lay on my right side, my left side feels really tight and it is very uncomfortable. Once in awhile it will also feel like it’s back behind my left shoulder blade also. Again this has been going on for about a year now. I have had blood work and a ct scan about 6 months ago and they both came back with nothing. The feeling just isn’t going away though. What could be causing this?

CT scans show enlarged spleen and enlarged axillary and chest lymph nodes?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Hi,
I know you cna’t really diagnose someone without seeing them, but I am really worried.

I have recently had two CT scans, and they showed i have an enlarged spleen and enlarged axillary and chest lymph nodes. I’m also getting heavy night sweats ( int he day now too), and have lost a lot of weight. I’ve also developed reynauld’s phenomenon in the past year ( I’m 46 and nave had it before).

I had some blood work done, and my c-reative protein level was high, my WBC and Lymph
values were low. I’m tired all the time ( not sleepy, just tired)

I recently had a biopsy for lymphoma ( am waiting for the results), but I was wondering what else can cause these types of symptoms. As I was adopted, I don’t know my parent’s medical history, but two of my three childrne have autoimmune issues ( finbromyalgia and autoimmune ion channelopathy in nerve cells).

Any input would be appreciated.

I have a pigmented spot located on the back of my thigh, should I be concerned?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Hello…I’m attaching an image of a small pigmented spot which I have, located on the back of my thigh, midway between the buttocks and knee. I noticed it when I was doing a self skin-check, although I believe I recall seeing it there quite a few years ago and looking the same as it currently does. It is light brown/ tan and slightly larger than one quarter of an inch. It is smooth. It is located in the middle of each image.

I do visit a dermatologist twice yearly for skin checks, and no concern was expressed over the spot. Do you have any idea what it could be and whether I should be concerned? Thank you!

I have a crushing chest pain making it difficult to breath?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

I have a crushing chest pain that feels like constant pressure making it difficult to breath. I am coughing up phlegm which has sometimes had streaks of blood in it. I also got chills and then it goes into hot flushes. I am worried as to what this might be as It came on all of a sudden it is causing me to become very fatigued. I don’t want this to impact on my daily life as I have children to support. I am usually a generally healthy person who eats a variety of a diet.
