Hello, I’m 23yo male, I had a pain in my neck started since 2013, the pain is medium to High. 24/7 till today, I had a TD scan and a MRI scan both results stated that I have a small herniated disk C5C6 does not touch the main nerve very much, other than this structure is well n fine. all doctors told me that it’s nothing serious and shouldn’t be a problem at all. But the pain is incredible , I can’t work, I can’t practice sport anymore, I can’t even walk!! I have to drive my way to destinations,
PS: I have a small scoliosis probably 4or 5degrees, sometimes it hurt a little sometimes it doesn’t .
What is wrong with me?! Does the MRI is not able to shows nerves?, do I have nerves problem?
I am a 57 year old female who has had annual mammograms since 40. On about 5 occasions I have been called back for a diagnostic mammogram and or sonogram. Everything at that point had been normal. This year I was called back to have a sonogram in my right breast after having a 3d mammogram. I have no palpable masses. My Dr. went ahead and ordered a bilateral sonogram. Upon receiving my results I was told that I need a biopsy in my left breast; the one that they had not seen anything on the 3d mammogram and my right breast was fine. I’m confused. If my Dr. Had not ordered the bilateral, would I have been given the all clear? Should I be having sonogram with my annual mammograms every year? Of course I’m having biopsy.
I’m very pro active with my healthcare.
Hi. I am a 38 female school teacher who has a 6 year old boy in my class with diagnosed Cytomegalovirus (CMV) virus. I wish to get pregnant in the very near future but am afraid to do so while this child is in my care as I have heard that it can lead to severe disabilities in the unborn child. Can you please tell me what you recommend I do as a doctor? Should I avoid trying to get pregnant as long as this child is in my care?
I’m 20 and have levels of estradiol and progesterone below the level of detection while levels of FSH, prolactin, thyroid hormones and haematology are normal. I also have severe neurological symptoms like permanent exhaustion, worsening memory, lack of concentration, anxiety and depression. It also involves increased heart rate (but low blood pressure), hot and cold flashes, hair loss and lack of menstruation (for 6 months). I don’t know what to do and where to start because I haven’t received any sensible diagnosis yet and seeing a specialist requires queuing – at the moment i cannot function normally and I would be really grateful for any suggestions, even guesses.
I am 27 years old female.
I have been suffering of imbalance, exhaustion, lack of focus and nervousness…and I have also been suffering from pain in my right area of stomach comes and goes for a while.
So I made a complete blood test to check up, and the result shows lack of white blood cells (3.4) and high lymphocytes percentage (60%).
With this comment: mild leukopenia. relative lymphocytosis with few reactive lymphocytes.
So please I want to know what does it means and do I have to make any further tests?
I am 29 Y.O. female. 10 weeks pregnant with prior back issues that have been under control for about a year now. Previous pregnancy being a miscarriage. I am having severe back pain, headache for past few days, and diarrhea past couple days that accompanies the back pain. Is this something I should go to ER about? I called my OBGYN and left couple voicemails with no response from them. I have zero bleeding or abdominal cramping.

Hello, a few years ago I was diagnosed with a brain tumor as well as fluid on the brain. At the time I had a shunt put in to remove the fluid but from what I recall the tumor was too deep to be able to do anything with it. I am 34, a month away from 35. This was about 4 years ago. Recently I have been losing a lot of my memory, it generally happens when I wake up. It was happening a lot but normally my memory would come back within a few minutes to a few hours, but today it’s been a few hours since I woke up and I can barely remember the last week. It took me a few hours to remember who I am and where I am. From the little I do remember and what my flatmate has said, it seems to be getting worse lately and I’m not sure what to do. Any ideas?
I am a married woman of 27 years’ age. My weight is 75 kg and height 5 feet 6 inches.
Since Nov 16 I have been trying for pregnancy. After that my regular menstrual cycle of 28 days used to get delayed by 6 to 10 days.
However, my last menstrual period started on 23.02.17. On 24.03.17, I noticed some red rashes on my face and upper part of body with over 100 degree Fahrenheit temperature. I didn’t go for any test or Doctor. I took one or two anti-allergic tablets as i previously had little bit allergic problems with chilli or hot things. After two days I was o.k.
However, as my menstrual cycle didn’t recur, I went for USG test on 20.4.17, and it confirmed me as pregnant and detected a single live fetus of approximately seven weeks one day.
However, my doctor advised me to undergo rubella IgG test along with certain other routine tests.
All other test reports were o.k.
But Rubella IgG test done on 18.4.17 in A LAB showed the result to be Positive (340 IU/ml) Reference range used was: <10 IU/ml=negative, 10 to 15IU/ml=equivocal, >15IU/ml=positive. My doctor told me that I was immune against rubella, so i need not be worried and should not go for rubella IgM test (as i had recent history of red rashes) since it can’t be detected so late.
I was not satisfied, and on 27.4.17 I went for both rubella IgG and IgM tests done in ‘B’ Lab. The result was anti Rubella antibody IgG: 308.61IU/ml……reference range used is negative: <10.0, positive >10.0.
Anti rubella antibody IgM was: 121.43 AU/ml…reference range used is negative: <20.00, positive >25.00, equivocal: 20.00-25.00
However, I was perplexed and I wanted to be sure about my rubella infection.
On 4.5.17, again I went for both rubella IgG and IgM tests done in ‘A’ lab. It detected rubella antibody IgG as 291 IU/ml….Reference range used was: <10 IU/ml=negative, 10 to 15 IU/ml=equivocal, >15 IU/ml=positive.
It also detected rubella antibody IgM as positive (1.50)….Reference range used was: <0.8 index =negative, 0.8 to 1.2 index =equivocal, >1.2 index=positive.
Sir, my question is do you find any inconsistency in the reports of different labs for tests done on different dates? Why is rubella IgG which stays lifelong unchanged is decreasing? And the most important question is will my Baby be affected by this infection which occurred in early pregnancy? I don’t want to give birth to a crippled or abnormal child.But it is my first pregnancy. What should I do? Should I go for abortion? Will it cause any problem to my future pregnancy? After how many days of abortion, I can try for next pregnancy? What steps need to be taken after abortion in this regard? Please advise.
I am a 33 yr old female. Almost 2 months ago I was intubated, on a ventilator and sedated in ICU for a week due to respiratory failure, which was a complication of the flu and severe asthma exacerbation. My oxygen level was ok, but my CO2 level kept rising. At one point a doctor told my husband I might not survive the night because my CO2 was around 73 or 74 mmHg. I read that severe brain damage and death can occur after 75 mmHg. Surprisingly to everyone, I survived, and my CO2 levels went down to normal and eventually I was sent home. Ever since then however, I’ve been experiencing severe memory problems. I forget many conversations and events almost instantly, I can’t remember short lists like I used to, or to do things that I’m told not to forget. I’ve started having to write lists and set timers for things I never needed reminders for. I have difficulty with daily tasks that used to be routine to me. It’s like I forgot what I was doing and need to orient myself again, which is normal occasionally, but for me it’s a constant daily struggle now. It’s insanely frustrating and even my husband is starting to question if I suffered some sort of brain damage. Is it possible my memory issues are from the respiratory failure, and are they permanent?
60 year old male. I had fever, bad cough, pain and chills for a week. Now all back to normal. But during the week I
had diarrhea. Now after the fever and symptoms have subsided I continue to have diarrhea.
What can be the cause of the diarrhea and why do I still have it?
What can I do to stop the diarrhea?
Are there any tests that I should do?
Is the diarrhea a sign of a another problem?
I take no meds other than synthroid for thyroid and (low-dose) pills for high blood pressure.
I have had colonoscopy done once every 2 years – all OK.
I am a 59 year old, extremely healthy female. In 2009 I had a blood panel that came up completely normal and clear for STDs. I am completely not sexually active and have been since 2008, yet a recent blood panel showed that I have Herpes!! How can this be?! I have racked my brain and the only thing my gentiles have touched outside of my home is the side of the tanning machine at my gym as I laid down in it. The bed activity stays busy! It is cleaned between users but not adequately and seldom on the edges where you have to initially sit to enter; there are often smears on the shiny surface. New users enter the bed within 5 minutes of the last so it is still very warm. Is it possible that this is where I contracted Herpes? I am mortified at having this as I never been very active sexually absolutely know I haven’t since 2008. How can this be?
