I woke up with an inflamed right knee, and I don’t know how I got it?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Hi, so yesterday, I woke up with an inflamed right knee, and I don’t know how I got it. Prior to the inflammation my knee was perfectly fine, no pain, no inflammation, and I don’t recall using my knee or having an “intense” work out that stresses out my knee. However, I do kneel a lot when I’m working (as a stocker). Now, the inflammation still persist, but not as worse as when I noticed it.

More information; 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis (cant remember which type)
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Height and Weight: 5’4; 120lb

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

I had surgery in both hands for carpal tunnel two years ago. The symptoms are still there and the muscle weakness seems to be getting worse and spreading up my arms. It also feels like my legs are starting with weakness as well. I am also tired all the time. My doctor seemed to blow it off when I asked.

I am currently 26 years old and was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2012?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Hi there I am currently 26 years old and was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2012 I believe. I was very apprehensive when hearing this because I had only had two seizures a year apart, the first one I was alseep and the second I was shopping. BOTH seizures came after a weekend that I had done MDMA and had tried Cocaine. I was in an abusive relationship and had also stopped eating properly and was extremely unhappy. All of theae factors definitely.played a part in my health and I feel as though it was over looked and I was looking for another opinion. I have been on and off my meds over the last 6 years simply because when I had first gone off way back 4 or 5 years ago i had NO issues. Light doesnt bug me, smell do not either. I dont see auras i dont get dizzy or anything. I have had coversations with other neurologists and they have said that many patients get off meds after this long withouy any issues. I understand this is a hard topic to discuss over the computer but I am curious as to what someone else would do for a patient in my situation. My neuro has horrible ratings and all patients feel over looked like I do. Any info wil help thank you.

I have been living with herpes for 17yrs?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

I am a 39yr old immunocompromised female. I have been living with herpes for 17yrs. I had been having recurrent episodes of herpes and a doctor prescribed 400mg of acyclovir per day for 6 months for suppression. Over the years, before taking the medication, I have noticed that I normally get the recurrent outbreaks between a few days before my menstrual period to a few days after. If I were to take the 400mg per day of acyclovir during only this period in which I normally get outbreaks to cut down on the cost of buying the acyclovir, would this still be an effective treatment method, and more importantly, would this intermittent taking of acyclovir increase the chances of or cause the HPV to become resistant to the acyclovir?

I have multiple myeloma-stage one. I have been diagnosed w/leukopenia. The Dr. wants to treat me w/Revlimid, Velcade and Dexamethasone. Is chemo wise considering I have leukopenia before treatment even starts? Greatly concerned!

I just had a uretheral dilation?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Hi, I just had a uretheral dilation. This will be my forth dilation from the same doctor. I was under the assumption that he was going to fix the problem properly this time. Last time he cut my urethra and it lasted just over two years before I kept getting bad kidney infections. He said to me there are no other options but to stretch it. I don’t believe him and I think he is just trying to make money off me. I am supposed to go back in three weeks for a follow up but I think I should try another doctor. Are there other solutions for a narrow urethra other than a stretch. Any help would be appreciated.

I experienced trauma to my right hand, Is it possible for this injury to heal without surgery?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

I experienced trauma to my right hand, and now the tendon over my middle knuckle slips
whenever I slowly release a clenched fist. Besides the slight pain that comes with that,
there are only bruises which aren’t too painful.

Is it possible for this injury to heal without surgery? Is there a way to speed up the recovery process?

I have been experiencing severe pricking sensation in the right side of my chest?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

My name is (…). I am 45 years old. I am a healthy person. And I walk a lot.
I have been experiencing severe pricking sensation in the right side of my chest. I feel suffocated when this happens. And along with it i am getting heat lumps. My pain stops and as soon as it stops I get these heat lumps all over my inner thighs , stomach and on my back. And it burns. Sometimes when i wake up in morning my eyes , nose and lips will be swollen. Its been happening since 2 whole months.
I went to see the doctor. The physician gave me anti-allergy tablets along with gas tablets. I ate those but it did not cure my problem. So i again went to the physician and he said no problem….its happening because of gas problem. Then I went to dermatologist and she too gave me anti-allergies. She told me to eat those for 6 Whole months!!!! I am now on the tablets which she suggested me but those are of no use. They are not affecting me in any way. What shall i do now? Can I please know whether these signs are for any serious problem or something? Why am i facing this??

I was just told by my doctor that I might have herpes?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

I was just told by my doctor that I might have herpes. I talked to my mother about it today to find out she and my father both had the virus before I was born. Is it possible I was born with the virus and didn’t show any signs when I was born because she didn’t have any signs of an outbreak.
