I started having a pain in my upper right abdomen that moved to my lower right abdomen?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

About 9 days ago I started having a pain in my upper right abdomen that moved to my lower right abdomen. The pain was intense at time. 7 days ago I went to emergency and they did an exam and heard my other complaints (not eating, diarrhea). My blood levels came back with elevated white cells. They were just about ready to send me to surgery when they decided to give me a cat scan which came back clear. In the interim I had a big infusion of antibiotics. I was discharged.

5 days ago I had the blood work re-done and my white cells were normal. However, the pain continued, albeit intermittently.

Now the pain is still there. My urine was checked and it was fine. The pain is intermittent but when it comes it is localized in one spot and feels hot and burning. The diarrhea and some lack of appetite continue.

What does this sound like? What should I do?

I had hernia repair 6 weeks ago – Incisional and belly button?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

66 year old female. I had hernia repair 6 weeks ago. Incisional and belly button. 3 weeks ago I started having a burning tearing sensation in my low right abdomen. It mainly hurts when I sit down or stand up. Yesterday that sensation started radiating around my belly button. I don’t know what to do or who to see. Also, 3 weeks ago I got Bronchitis and coughed a lot. I assumed this sensation was further coughing. Meds I take are: Carvedilol, Triamterene, Pantorazole, Meloxicam, Levothyroxine, Tramadal for back pain, Vitamin D1, Stool Softners, Ventolin Inhaler, Fluticasone Nasal Spray. I quit taking Delsicol 2 months ago because of constant headache which went away when I quit taking it.

I had wrist surgery it was the biggest mistake of my life?

Posted on by — 7 Comments ↓

I made an operation to the wrist, where they made me a fusion of four corners, and they removed the scaphoid. This surgery was the biggest mistake of my life, I could live with the pain I had, now I have pain all the time, the wrist movement is close to 10%, more than that is always pain. Before surgery I was promised that I would not have any pain, although I would lose 50% of the movement, and that recovery would be between 2 to 5 months. The results I had was pain always, and I lost about 90% of the movement. I’m a cook, obviously I need more wrist movement. My question is what are the solutions to my problem, and if there is any expert who is specialized in this problem. I wonder if there is a possibility of reversing this fusion of four corners.

My eldest daughter is suffering excruciating pain, need second opinion?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

My eldest daughter, she is 16 years. Last year (2015 December) she was having pain at the right back of her neck. I took her to Dr. Dr. told that it is an allergic or cold problem. He prescribed antibiotics. Then she was ok for about 3 months. After 3 months the same area was paining and a lump can be seen like tumour. I took her to a renowned Dr. He said, may be it’s an allergic problem and gave some blood test n FNAC test. The reports were normal. Dr. prescribed her medicines, which helped her to be ok for another one n half month. Again it started paining and this time it was unbearable. Surprisingly, I saw 4 more lumps at the right and left side of her neck. Her spinal chord started paining n she was having a bit fever. Immediately I took her to Dr. This time we did her FNAC again and some blood test, but result nothing. Again and again we r going to different Dr’s, tests, medicines but no improvement. One of the Dr. told to do biopsy. Then we consulted a neurosurgeon but he told that its a sensitive area to operate. He needs time for it n gave medicines.

Finally in the end of December I took her to India (New Delhi). There we appointed a medicine Dr. He gave tests. In the reports he found a huge deficiency of vitamin D. After that we consult a neorology Dr. He gave for MRI test. In the report ARACHNOID CYST can be found. He gave 6 months medicine. Now my daughter’s spinal chord and the lump is paining. My daughter is now screaming out of pain. As a mother it’s very painful to see my daughter in this condition. Please, please n please help me out. Help my daughter. Suggest us something. I am attaching the reports n prescription. I will be grateful to you dr. If u can suggest us anything.

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

Hi, my name is (…) and I have been through so many tests, and surgery and have gotten worse. No healings in sight. I had laprascopic gallbladder removal Dec. 16, 2016. I have seen cardiologist and ruled out my heart. I have had chest xrays, HIDA Scan, blood tests, h.pylori tests. Emergency visits. So here is what I am experiencing right upper abdominal pressure. Chest pressure, stabbing pain off and on to the right of my navel when walking and driving. Urine that smells like poop, frequent urination, abdominal heaviness, can not get in a comfortable position when sitting, fatigue, weakness, extremely low vit. D, slow healing with bruises, like the one I got from getting my blood drawn and its been 3 months. Always feel that I have a lump in my throat.

I had Carpal tunnel syndrome surgery, still feel numbness?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

40, male. I had CTS surgery on Feb 3 and the numbness in my thumb, index and middle finger is no different than before surgery. At follow up, doc says not to worry and be patient but I’m frustrated at seeing no change. The CTS was diagnosed both via clinical exam and EMG test. Is it normal to have no change? At what point should I start to be concerned with the lack of results? Thank you.



How to treat leiomyosarcoma and rectal cancer at the same time?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

Hi,
My 54 year old wife had been battling stage 4 leiomyosarcoma for the past 10 years. She has tumors in about 8 locations, lung, stomach, limbs, bone. It has been slowly advancing and is chemo resistant. Now if you can believe it she has rectal cancer with invasive adenocarcinoma. It was removed w/o clear margins through TAE. It was 5 CM, poorly differentiated cells, invaded perirectal tissue, invaded perineural, and has suspected lymphovascular invasion. How in the heck does she attack both at one time. TY



I was born with one kidney and tested slightly positive for hsv-2?

Posted on by — 6 Comments ↓

I am 39 yeare old male, a little over weight but overall healthy. I was having bad abdominal pain, especially during ejaculating and saw a Dr at a walk in clinic assuming it was a prostate infection as I have had them in the past. As a precaution she ordered std tests and a CT scan to test for diverticulitis. The CT scan came back negative but showed I was born with one kidney. The std tests came back negative for all except herpes. I was pretty sure I have hsv-1 since I’ve had cold sores 1-2× per year for many years but they also said i tested slightly positive for hsv-2 which is very concerning and confusing. I have only had sex once in the past 6 months and it was protected and no oral. The test results were as follows: herpes simplex I/II IGM .9 reference range <.9 Hsv I IgG 38.9 reference range <=.9 Hsv II IgG <.1. Reference range <=.9 HSV 1 IGM antibodies IFA. Detected A HSV 2 IgM antibodies IFA weakly detected I am very confused could you please tell me what it all says? Am I positive for hsv 2?
