Since late last year, l have been complaining about my loss of appetite and consequently loss of weight?
I am a 43 year old Nigerian lady.l saw my menstruation on the 5th of this month February and now l saw it again yesterday being 19th February, meaning a 14days cycle which is quite absurd and unusual though no pain, flow is normal and reddish, no smell, just stupidly normal.
Since late last year, l have been complaining about my loss of appetite and consequently loss of weight. l used to weigh 105kg(not healthy l know) but now l have stayed on 95 since Dec. I do not have any accompanying sickness or illness except occasional itching in my private part which goes off after medication though my clitoris retain a pepperish pain(not unbearable though) but l just notice it all the same. Apart from that no other complain until this 14 days cycle stuff.
Last week Thursday, l bought a multi vitamin syrup to aid my appetite and so dont know if it has any thing to do with it(Protobex syrup)predigested protein fortified with vitamins, iron and zinc. I have a history of asthma and high blood pressure.l am daily on franol tablet and ventolin inhaler. What could be wrong please?

For 2-3 years I have had blood in my stools?
Hello I am a 17 year old female. For 2-3 years I have had blood in my stool. I have also, from time to time, had maroon-colored or white discharge come out. I’ve also had oil in my stool. I know this is not normal but I’m scared to tell my parents and to have to go to the doctor. May you please help me determine what is wrong with my colon.
I broke my left clavicle in a mountain biking accident about 3 years ago?
I broke my left clavicle in a mountain biking accident about 3 years ago. The break had an overlap and they decided st the hospital to not do surgery and let it heal as it was. My problems now are there is a large lump sticking out from the position of the overlap that is aesthetically very unpleasant and also causes pain/irritation if I’m carry something over that area like a backpack. I wanted to know if there was a surgery option to cut down or smooth off this overlap bone that is sticking out under the skin. I’m very self conscious about this, and it effects my confidence and I’m always feeling around that area every day. Thanks.
I was choked, now have difficulty swallowing, soar throat and feel pressure?
Hello. I was choked about 3 days ago. It was done 3-4 times for about 4-7 seconds each. I now have difficulty swallowing, soar throat and feels like a pressure around the front of my neck consistently. Until this morning
(Day 4/5) I feel a bit funny- my vision seems fine, i seem to be thinking fine but i feel things are very slightly weird/uncomfortable/fuzzy for example when I am looking at the computer screen. The left side of my throat is where it is the most painfil and my left ear seems a bit off. I felt a sharp pain in my right ear about twice today. These sound serious but there are no visible marks.

Orthopedic doctor claimed surgery is the only solution for shoulder problem, need second opinion?
Male, born 1987.
Hello. I’ve been having shoulder pain since august 2016. No sudden trauma or activities at the time before the pain except maybe a climbing pass (with no pain whatsoever).
Pain is mostly felt on the outside of shoulder and going down to where the visual parts of bicep and triceps starts/meet. this type of pain is felt when doing the typical benchpress movement with more pain the closer the bar is to the chest and the wider the grip. the same pain is also felt when doing pullups with more pain the wider the grip (most pain when arm and elbow is bent 90 degrees). similar pain and also pain in the front of the deltoid and space between trapezius and collarbone is felt when doing arm raises to the side or when rotating shoulder outwards in a fast motion.
I also have winged shoulder blade on the same side and problems reaching behind my back (internal rotation). However this problem I’ve been suffering from for several years and they cause me no pain.
I’ve been going to several doctors, chiros, physiotherapists and everyone seems to have different opinions on the cause and treatments. The major reason I’m asking is because the last doctor I met (orthopedic doctor) claimed surgery is the only solution after looking at my x ray.
I’m wondering if I could get a second opinion on the x-ray image I’m providing you.
I start feeling strange with chest tightness and shortness of breath and sometimes wheezing?
I have a strange reaction and is always same day..Sunday night only! I start feeling strange with chest tightness and shortness of breath and sometimes wheezing(in my throat not in lungs). Is getting worst when lying down. Heart rate is 65-70, frequency of breathing is 12/min. Sometime the symptoms takes 2-3 hours and sometime the whole night. But in the morning everything is backs to normal. It is annoying. The onIy different thing on Sunday is everybody is having a hot bath… I don’t get it. I use to swim at the pool and again everything is ok. Due to my job I have access to check often my SPO2 and blood pressure and everything is normal. I am 44, male, 185 cm and 74kg.
My bathroom is clean with no mould. I have cleaned my walls with vinegar…just in case….but nothing changed.
I have seen my GP where he used the stethoscope to listen my lungs and he said it is everything ok. I asked for a chest x-ray but he said I don’t need x-ray.
My physical condition is excellent, I can run or climbing stairs and I have no problems.
I appreciate any advice.
Many thanks
I’ve had 2 knee operations, knee feels like loose?
Ive had 2 knee operations, 1 was for my ligaments that tore when i was 12 ( i am not 34) and the 2nd one was about 2.5yrs ago. Ive had problems with my knee since then, the muscles around the knee is very weak and i am not able to gym 100%. Been doing exercises and swimming, so taking it easy. last knight i tried doing walking lunges and my knee made a funny sound. if i walk now it make like clicking noise and if i put my hand on my knee and bend it, it feels like things are loose inside. i know it sounds weird. my knee is a little swollen today and sore. can still walk its just sore. should i be worried?
Lately I have a very funny feeling in my chest almost like a soft shock?
I have a question. Lately I have a very funny feeling in my chest almost like a soft shock. It feels as if I walk to hard (as if I jumped). Even when I sit down to hard, I will get the strange feeling. I did have a disck fusion about 6 years ago between the T2 and T3. I do have an ulcer and take medication for it.
It started about a few weeks ago with a strange pain in my left arm. Deep inside my arm, not the bone the flesh. I took Arcoxia for 7 days, it did help a little bit, but for the last week I get this strange feeling as well. It sound so stupid but I now walk slowly, sit down slowly to avoid getting the feeling. It’s not sore. I’m always to scared that its something with my heart – dont have heart problems as far as I know. I’m 51 years old (female). My tyriod were removed 26 years ago. Do take euthyrox 0.1mg. I did loose a lot of weight unintentially the last 2 years, but I am at a reasonable weight for my height. Last time I tested my thyriod it was very unactive, although I am skinny.

I have an overactive bladder, need advice?
Hi, I’m 21 years old. I saw my urologist and did an ultrasound, after the tests my doctor said I have an overactive bladder. I got it from sex with my boyfriend 5 months ago. My doctor gave me two weeks of sample packets of Myrbetriq which worked amazingly, everything finally felt normal again. But when I finished those the symptoms all came back. Since its $390 for a prescription of that my doctor put me on 5mg or Oxybutinin 2x a day. It has been 5 days and I still feel no difference. It isn’t helping at all. Will this eventually work? Or do you have any other ideas for how I can fix this? Also, are overactive bladder spasms something that will eventually go away or I’ll have this for the rest of my life? Also, I haven’t been having sex because I don’t want to make it worse, but will having sex affect this negatively?
My fallopian tubes are blocked do you recommend I freeze my eggs?
HI I am a Female 6 days away from 33. 6 years ago I had an atopic pregnancy. Tried for years to get pregnant again only to find out that both of my fallopian tubes are blocked. The doctor told me my best bet is to just have them removed. Then do in vitro. I am not married and work two jobs. I am worried that I’m getting too old and time is slipping away. Do you recommend freezing my eggs. For when I’m ready to go along with the surgery?
