I am extremely tired, suffer from chronic diarrhea, stiff joints, please advise?

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

I went to my Dr with chronic diarrhea. It has been an issue on and off for several months but in the last two months it has been constant. I had bloodwork done and my liver enzymes were elevated and my Dr is sending me for a liver ultrasound and a colonoscopy. I am also experiencing very dry skin, eyes and especially my mouth. The mouth dryness is on the inside of the lips and around the outside of the tongue. It feels like I have burnt my mouth but I haven’t. I wake up in the morning with stiff joints in my hands and feet. I am extremely tired. I sleep 10-11 hours a night and feel I need more. I am 60 and had a complete hystrecomy at the age of 44 and I not on any hormone replacements or no other medication.

I’m having a problem with my sinuses, major headaches and nose bleeds?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Hi I’m having a problem with my sinuses and major headaches and also occasional nose bleeds. Sometimes i get pressure on the right side of my nose and the pain causes the right side of my face to swell and my teeth to hurt where i can not even close my mouth. Then with the headaches i take medicines but it might soothe it for like 1hr and come right back 10x harder, also with the nose bleeds it can happen depending on the severity of my headaches. Maybe you can help me. Thank you and have a blessed day.

I have ED issues and experience pain during orgasm?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

I have ED issues, cannot get fully erect.
I have blood pressure issues and m on medication for it but I slowly started having erection issues. before I was on the medication.

I can come to an orgasm of sorts but when I do I have pain in my inner thighs at the time of orgasm.
The pain goes away in a second or 2.

Is there anything I can do or a medication available to help with the pain at orgasm?
As far as the ED I have tried the common pills from my doctor, viagra, cilalis, etc they works somewhat at first but got to where they no longer do. If there is a treatment for that I would be happy but at the least I would like to not have pain at orgasm.
I eject no semen by the way, Is it “going the wrong way”?

My son broke his tibia and fibula, is it safe to manually manipulate the fragment in place by hand?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

My son recently broke his tibia and fibula in the lower part of his leg requiring extensive surgery that included utilization of steel plating and several screws. Afterwards, upon reviewing his post op x-rays, it was discovered that a large splinter from the back side of his fibula had separated from the main bone and was in essence floating in the surrounding tissue (see attached). In response to our concerns regarding the same, my son’s followup physician has advised him to manually manipulate the fragment in place by hand. Our concern is that doing so could possibly result in further damage to the surrounding tissue and prevent fusion to the main bone. Is this really a safe and soundly establish practice in regard to such injuries, or should we be considering looking for a second opinion?

Posted on by — 8 Comments ↓

I am worried I have throat/tonsil cancer. I have 2 areas 1 on each tonsil that shouldn’t be there and I’m not sure how long they have been there. I am 36 year old male with HTN and Gerd. I smoke a pack per day and have since I was 15. My throat doesn’t hurt and I seem to have no other symptoms. Is this cancer or anything to be concerned about? Both things are squishy and painless.

Doctor said I might have light asthma, or is it Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Im a 25 year old male, taking symbicort for 2.5 years. one puff twice a day. I just had a spirometry test and my FVC is 85% and my FEV1 is 80%. Took the reversibility test and saw no improvement. Doctor said i might have light asthma or none at all, im just on the low side of normal. However I looked up that if there is no improvement when taking the bronchodialator, then that could be COPD? since asthma is more reversible and should show more response to the brochodialator. Am I interpreting this wrong?

How often can I take Lantus?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

How often can I take Lantus? My prescription says take at night. BS last night was 445. Took 100 units and is 330 this morning. Can I take it more than once per day to lower my BS? Can I take more this morning? I have not been taking Lantus regularly as I should have been. I’m now back on a low carb regime after having been negligent for some weeks.

I did a home dipstick urinalysis test, should I be worried about the results?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

Hello, i did a home dipstick urinalysis test and i have trace of leukocytes, trace of protein, high specific gravity and trace of glucose. Just wondering what this means? I’m pretty sure I have a uti as I am feeling nauseated and have temperatures and my asthma has been playing up.
I’m a bit worried about the glucose being in my urine though.
