I had rotator cuff surgery in February and re tore it?

Posted on by Admin — 2 Comments ↓

I had rotator cuff surgery in February and the op was a success. Then 2 weeks after the surgery i slipped up getting out of the shower and re tore it. The surgeon couldn’t re attach it fully as the stitching shreaded the front of the tendon. Im getting fairly good movement, but every now and then the shoulder pops out of place. My Pt and says not to worry about it . The pain is the same if not worse than before surgery. Im wondering if I should get a second opinion or just keep pushing through. Any thoughts ??

I noticed fasciculation in my calves and some very very mild cramps?

Posted on by Admin — 1 Comment ↓

Since 1 Month I noticed fasciculation in my calves and some very very mild cramps.
I get also twitches all over in tights, biceps triceps, eye, temple but they are rare and go away.

Actions I took (given I’ve been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder 2 months ago):

1st week: Went to see 1st neurologist which dismissed ALS/MND from the beginning based on a quick clinical exam and as he expressed “They way I walked in”.
2nd week: Saw a board neurologist with 50 years o experience is his field which he dismissed ALS/MND as well and he didn’t even considered necessarly to do an EMG study.
3rd week: Finally found a neuro-muscular specialist with 10 years of experience which agreed to do an EMG in 3 limbs (Legs, Right hand) and a nerve conduction study.

What he told me (still waiting for a final report yet):
1. No evidence of MND , he clearly stated on a white paper for me to be re-assured.
2. He suspects a lumbar radiculopathy (I do have some pain around L4-L5)
3. A pinched ulnar nerve (light) in the right elbow (according ncs) which doesn’t bother me.
4. 3rd clinical exam without any clinical weakness or athrophy noticed by all doctors.

The reason I am experiencing this anxiety is that my DAD died of ALS in 2003.
Mom mentioned that a neurologist made a genetic test for me and he found that I have no predisposition. (But I really don’t remember if I did had the genetic test or not).
Dad was sporadic I think as nobody from it’s family had any neuro diseases in the past (He has 2 sisters and 1 brother).
Grandparents were ok.

Last doctor said no EMG is required for follow up, but if I can do a spine MRI (no contrast) In 3 months would be good albeit is nothing to worry about now.

So, finally my questions are. (Being 30 years old). (Condensing)

1. Could EMG miss ALS/PLS or any MND ? If it can, what Is the chance? ( found 2,3 cases on the internet with people which claimed they started with fascics and then weakness ).
2. Could EMG study misdiagnose?

I’m fused at l5-s1 over a year ago and having new l5-s1 dermatome neuropathy?

Posted on by Admin — 1 Comment ↓

I’m fused at l5-s1 over a year ago and having new l5-s1 dermatome neuropathy.. Last xray the hardware was fine. No injury. Woke up with a numb foot and leg and ER advised it’s the l5-s1 nerve dermatome. I have no disc there as it was removed. What could cause the new symptoms to appear literally over night?

I had a potential blood clot but a chest ct came back clear?

Posted on by Admin — 2 Comments ↓

Hi, I had a potential blood clot but a chest ct came back clear. I still have chest pain and upper back pain as well as shortness of breath. What could this be. They said it was potentially a muscular or skeletal pain but I get pain on my left side especially. They suggested pain killers, I’m not convinced it’s a muscle strain nor could they tell of an infection. X-ray and ecg are fine, I still think there is something wrong. I am short of breath and my left shoulder feels achey. I have a small cough and cough up a little phlegm if I cough too much

I suffered a heart attack, a stent was implanted?

Posted on by Admin — 1 Comment ↓

Five years back, I suffered a heart attack, a stent was implanted. Since then no problem. Recently, got routine pathological tests & ECHO done with all normal reports. I’m, however, advised for angiography whereas I’m interested in CT angiography, but I’m told that CT angiography can’t be done for stent implanted patients. Kindly comment.

I developed shingles can I still be contagious to others?

Posted on by Admin — 1 Comment ↓

I developed Shingles on 8 days ago. I am on Famciclovir 500mg, 3x day. The swelling around the rash has gone down, and, for the most part the actual rash is drying up. The area in question is on my left thigh. I wear long pants all day long to cover the area. I am scheduled to take a First Aid Course on Monday August 21 & 23. Is it safe for me to do so. Can I still be contagious to others.
Thank You

I have irritable bowel, how often should a colonoscopy be performed?

Posted on by Admin — 1 Comment ↓

I am female and 65. I have irritable bowel. I have hemorrhoids that sometimes bleed – maybe every 7 to 8 weeks or so. Sometimes I can go for months with no bleeding. If I get constipated, I may have the bleeding. I have had in my life 3 colonoscopies all clean -no polyps. The last one was in 2011. So, when you have a patient that does bleed every so often, how often should a colonoscopy be performed? No family history.

Is there a chance I could have herpes or another STD?

Posted on by Admin — 2 Comments ↓

Okay. So I am a female and I had sex August 1st and August 3rd. I used a condom both times. On August 5th I felt like I was getting the flu. It really on lasted 2-3 days and wasn’t bad enough where I couldn’t work or anything like that. Then a week later, August 11 I went a water park. The same night I went out with friends and I wore this body suit thing that was pretty tight against my vagina and felt pretty irritating. The morning after I woke up and something felt off. There wasn’t any weird discharge or smells that I noticed. It was mildly itchy and just felt irritated in general. I tried monostare one day and took over the counter UTI pills for a couple days. Nothing changed. I also got my period a couple days later. Now, it still feels like same. Mildly irritated and a tiny bit itchy. Also, I found one small bump this morning on the inner lip of my vagina. Kind of near my cliterous area. It looks like an in grown hair (I shaved last night) but is there a chance I could have heperes (herpes) or another STD? It doesn’t hurt and it’s only one and it’s underneath the skin. Age: 27. Medications: Bc pills

My son has bald spots and alopecia?

Posted on by Admin — 3 Comments ↓

When my son was 18 years old, he got very tense studying and a result of worries and pressure during the final exams, my son got a ring of fire then he start losing part of his hair. This was 3 years ago and he still has bald spots on his head without hair and the ring of fire was cured on the first year
Then he start to have alopecia on his head and his eyebrows , hands and legs.
Different doctors gave him injections on the bald spots but this is not giving any progress. This is affecting his social life and taking the injections in the bold spots on his head is hurting him and he wants to stop taking it.
Please advise me of any new medication or a prescription to use to make his hair grow again.

I have been experiencing nausea and vomiting almost daily?

Posted on by Admin — 2 Comments ↓

For over 2 years I have been experiencing nausea and vomiting almost daily, it is worst on the morning and is not related to the type of food I eat although it is made worse by eating.

I have had endoscopy which is clear no ulcers no reflux.
Helicobacter negative.

And the gastroenterologist are leaving me with no answers.

I am taking 40mg omeprazol twice a day. To no effect although causing side effect of diarrhoea.

What else,could possibly be causing my symptoms and what should I do now?

I had a partial toe nail and matrix removal, same problem has been coming back?

Posted on by Admin — 2 Comments ↓

In March 2017 I had a partial toe nail and matrix removal because the inner top (curricula corner) I had an excess buildup of skin growing outward and causing light pain. Post op care was easy and painless without any issues and further healing was easy and I was careful not to wear heels or tight fitting shoes in the tie area. Now in mid August I’ve been noticing that the same problem has been coming back: the uber top corner at the side and cuticle has been swelling and building up. I’ve not gotten to the salon, have not painted my toenails, nothing since the operation. So I’m curious what the problem could be if the original issue is coming back! Could it be a deep rooted issue with healing and it could be infected? Any ideas? The photo attached showed the issue taken one week between photos with the right being the most current.

My husband has short term memory loss, blacks out for an amount of time, tremors, seizures, slurred speech at times, please advise?

Posted on by Admin — 1 Comment ↓

My husband is 54 and has been fighting all these symptoms for 4 years and getting worse. He has short term memory loss, blacks out for an amount of time, tremors, seizures, slurred speech at times and a lazy eye when all this is happening. He is on toprimate for seizures and hasn’t had one this year. He is also on propananol for his tremors and he is on an anti depressant that they just put him on recently for his mood swings. We have been to 4 neurologists in the area, general practioners, er… they all run their tests and everything comes up normal. He was in Afghanistan and after 3 months of being home he started all of these symptoms fast. First the short term memory loss, then seizures, the rest after that. He was hospitalized for a week. No doctor can figure out what is wrong with him so they just treat each symptom. Some don’t do anything. Any ideas or suggestions?
