How accurate are ultrasounds to determine gestational age?
Hello, I have a question: How accurate is the ultrasound concerning determination of gestational age and the date of conception? I had my LMP on 01.12.16, cycles 26-29 days (usually 27-28). The first ultrasound showed GA 7.4 hbd (CRL 13.2 mm) and the gestation age coincided with the LMP date, fertilization around 14 XII, which matches perfectly – unprotected ratio 14.XII. However, all subsequent ultrasounds shows that the pregnancy is 2-3 days older. USG 11.4 according to LMP => CRL 52.5 = 12 week, USG 13.1 hbd according to LMP, CRL 74 = 13.4 hbd. Another 14.4 according to LMP according to BPD (28.2), HC (105) and AC (87) = 15 hbd. At the last USG 18.6 according to LMP => FL (2.95) 19.1 hbd. The ultrasound at 24 weeks – terms according to Ultrasound and LMP are equal. Does that mean I got pregnant earlier, had a previous ovulation? 09/12/16 I was at a party, I drank too much and I do not remember how I got home. By these results I began to fear that maybe something happened to me and I do not realize it and I do not even know who the father is. I am already in 8 months and the stress of this situation becomes unbearable. Of course I’m going to do DNA testing after birth but until then I would like to know the expert’s opinion. In fact, if I had an ovulation on 14 day of my menstrual cycle the GA according to Ultrasound and LMP must match ideally? (In the previous cycle I think my ovulation was on the day 13 but this cycle was quite long – 30 days). I also did Beta Hcg examination: 4 + 1 (according to LMP) 158; 5 + 1 (according to LMP) 3299. Thanks in advance for help, this is very important to me

I have had a very odd migraine?
I’ve been having a very odd migraine today full of countless new symptoms.
Headache on left front side with a crazy visual aura, took zomig, hour later took ibuprofen 600, albuterol sulfate and Ritalin. Cold and hot feeling across skin, mostly on right side, nausea, joint pain, burning pain in abdomen and chest, dizzy, tired and short of breath. Migrating sharp pains across body. Ringing ears. Vision is unnaturally blurry. Chest and stomach symptoms worsen when laying down, head symptoms worsen when standing up. Symptoms quickly come and go except for vision, coldness, nausea and burning, which are constant. Zomig tasted so bad as it eventually dripped my neck that I hacked a few times and a little blood came up.
I have asthma, adhd, insomnia and depression. Two months ago I experienced an overdose on excedrin, clonidine and benadryl and recovered. At the time, I was informed of a potential heart murmur. Lymph nodes have been tender and large for years but one has become hard in the last month. I occasionally have moments where I loose a couple seconds and get startled. I get random, painless muscle spasms quite regularly. I normally have lower blood pressure floating around 120/55. I take lexapro at 10 mg, claritin 24 hour, folonase, concerta( just moved from 27 mg to 36 mg). Just added seroquel at 25 mg and ritalin in the afternoons. I was prescribed albuterol sulfate, ibuprofen 600 mg and zomig nasal as needed.
Cold spells arent new and randomly come and go, normally lasting several hours and spreading along right side from face down. Feet and hands are normally cold, sometimes blotchy purple.
Two weeks ago I had a clean MRI without contrast.
I do not drink, use drugs or smoke.
My appetite has been haywire lately and over a week I lost 16 pounds. Accidentally binging this week when the concerta wears off has gotten me half way back up to old weight.

My spine hurts when I press on it, please advise?
For almost 3 weeks now, part of my spine hurts when I press on it. Around the area of pain feels like knots. I would breathe in around that area where my ribs are it would feel like tightness & when I would try touching shoulder blades it would feel like it’s pinching. Last year I went to PT for my muscles in back causing spine movement in my lower back.

My son constantly tilts his head to the side and gets stomach cramps?
My son is 11 years old. Very intelligent and confident. He’s been valedictorian since 1st grade. His problem is he constantly tilts his head to the side especially after eating. If he keeps his head straight he says he gets cramps in his stomach and won’t go away unless he tilts his head.

I suffer with weakness in my left leg since a knee injury 7 years ago.
Hello, I’m a 31 year old male with an un-diagnosed issue for 7 years.
I suffer with weakness in my left leg since a knee injury 7 years ago. My knee is now completely fine but my gluten muscles (through the buttock) are always very tight and it causes me tight hamstrings and even foot pressure.
When I’m walking around I can feel the lack of muscle strength in my leg, it feels like it’s dropping and collapsing downwards causing me to limp around most days. Even gentle activity such as walking or going upstairs can be challenging. My leg will tremble when squatting or bending down. I’ve had treatment from Chiropractors and Physiotherapists but it doesn’t solve the problem.
Back in 2011 I saw a Neurologist who said he “didn’t know anything about leg weakness, it’s not his area” and had no idea what was going on but did send me for an MRI scan, he told me to see a Podiatrist as it could be something to do with the foot. The MRI scan came back normal and the Podiatrist said these symptoms are Neurological and I shouldn’t have been taken off the Doctors list.
In 2015 My Doctor referred me to a Orthopedic specialist who deals with back problems, so I thought this was good progress . Within 5 months I was told I can’t go to the specialist and talk to him and was taken off the waiting list by the health service. This is because the spine MRI scans have come back normal. Apparently there’s no pathology on the scans , so a specialist won’t be able to give any ““answers”. Chiropractors/Physiotherapy have told me they are certain the problem is starting from the lumber area of my back, possible L2 L3…?
I have to mention that it doesn’t seem to be Sciatica, nobody finds any real pressure causing a Sciatica problem. I’m being told it’s more pressure on a nerve somewhere else.
Within 7 years I’ve now seen Physiotherapists, 2 Chiropractors, and a Podiatrist .I have quite a lot of soft tissue massage that relieves symptoms for a while, however the problem still remains.
I would love to know what could be causing the symptoms. How can it be so difficult for Doctors to diagnose? Are there any more tests that could find out what’s going on? I recently had to push a luggage trolley and it’s aggravated the whole condition so I’m now experiencing more discomfort.
I would appreciate your opinion and any advice you can give me.
