I’ve had a skin infection for a month now, doctors have not been able to help?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

I’ve had a skin infection for a month now as well as hives. First put on antibiotics but taken off after a few days and put on steroids as they believed hives were the issue and not an infection. The steroids helped the hives however the infection got worse. I’m now off the steroids after 5 day course, I have infected wounds all over my legs and arms and ear lobes, they have a yellow crust and red border, they are also very itchy. One on my arm has developed a red streak coming out of it over the last couple of hours, is this a sign it’s spreading? I have seen so many doctors over the past few weeks for this issue and I feel like theirs no point in going back as no one has truly helped me. Should I go back, or will this pass? Is it even a bacterial infection?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Hello doc, my father, age 59 was suffering from continuous high fever and cough since 16 Jan 2016. In Feb 2016 we consulted the doctor. They refereed to a chest physician. There The doctor prescribed for some tests as well as CT thorax. In test we got to know that there a small phlural effusion in right chest. The doctor tried to pull the liquid from back with the injection bt nothing came out. He started the treatment of tuberculosis. For a few months everything was good. Bt again fever started. This time we consult the best chest physician in Lucknow. He also taken some test as well as CT scans and x rays. He too prescribed the same medicine as before i.e. Tuberculosis. There he again tried to pull the fluid from the chest with help of ultrasound machine bt nothing came out.
Today after one and a half year the situation is same. The fever continues as well as cough. The body becomes weaker. The treatment of tuberculosis is still going on. After 6 trials of pulling out the fluid from chest the result is zero. Doctors are also confused bout the disease. Tell me what to do?

I’ve had pain in my legs for a couple months now?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

I’ve had pain in my legs for a couple months now – much more pronounced in my right leg and even more so in my knee. During the day, it’s sore but I don’t really pay that much attention to it, but at night, it’s a different story. As long as I keep it straight, it’s tolerable. And I can sleep with it bent as well. But after being bent, when I try to straighten it out, it feels like a rubber band has contracted while bent and straightening it feels like stretching this horrible rubber band over and around my knee. I also get a significant dull ache over my right shin. My knee during the day feels “full” (for lack of a better description). Doesn’t appear swollen or red. My doctor writes it off as “osteoarthritis” however he’s done no testing. Does this sound like osteoarthritis to you? Again, thank you for any insight you can provide.

I have terrible abdominal pain…is it a urinary tract infection?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

My doctor prescribed me ciprofloxacin for a urinary tract infection because my psa was elevated without doing a urine test. I went to a urologist and he felt my prostate and said it felt normal but want me back in two months for another psa test. I’ve been having pains all over and lower abdomial pain in the ground. My question is could it be after effects of cipro, Ive been off it for two weeks. Or could something more serious with my health. By the way my urologist did a urine test, came back negative for a uti.

I am trying to keep my liver enzymes in normal range for upcoming blood test?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

I am trying to keep my liver enzymes in normal range for upcoming blood test. They were normal in April – AST was 32, ALT was 28, at that time I was drinking maybe 4 or 5 pints of beer on weekends. Since, I have been consuming a bit more, only on weekends (6-10 pints on weekends). My blood test is next Friday (8 days from now), and I have not had any alcohol since sunday (4 days ago). Is it likely my liver levels will rise from this? Or generally remain in the same range? I am a healthy male, 44 yrs….I am not over weight and exercise daily.
