I have recently been diagnosed with AS but feel that the diagnosis did not cover all of my concerns. I also have trigeminal neuralgia which can be a side effect of MS. The biological drugs they want to put me on for the AS can make neurological symptoms worse. I m confused as to what to do and how to proceed. I don t see the neurologist until January.
|
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! You should know that biological treatment for MS, usually help prevent possible relapses. They do not worsen trigeminal neuralgia. If active plaques are seen in the brain MRI, a short term treatment with IV methylprednisolone would help improve your situation. Meanwhile, I would also recommend starting anti-epileptic Chat Doctor. ) to help against the pain. It is OK to use these

i got some dark marks on my nose due to an acident,it was not a big wound but it left a dark mark on my nose,how can i remove it ?
|
Hi! Depak, Welcome To Chat Doctor forum, The result in your case would depend upon, how long you have been having the scar, what was the depth of the wound which you had, your complexion, amount of sun exposure etc. You can start of with using creams like retinoid cream, HY Chat Doctor. . Use them in the night, and use a sun blocking cream in the daytime. If this doesn't help then you can also go for lasers, which work for pigmentation. Kindly consult a dermatologist and discuss the prospects of various treatment options including lasers. Regards,

A week ago I banged the back of my head on a sidewalk during a fall.The swelling from the bump has spread across most of the back of my head, and it feels a bit squishy under the skin.Is this something to worry about, or to treat, or to address in some way?
|
Hello Thank you for trusting Chat Doctor Dear it may be due soft tissue swelling or occipital scalp hematoma. First to label it as scalp hematoma we need to do CT and confirm the location. Sometimes hematoma may extend into intro cranial. Simple scalp hematoma may heal itself no treatment required. Body break down the hematoma with in a period of 2-4weeks. You can take tab choral Forte to reduce edema of the area. If you are feeling vomiting, headache and nausea please consult your doctor immediately. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions please feel free to ask me.

Hi doctor,I am a 29 year old male. I was working out in a gym continuously a month back and turns out I overused my muscle. I had pain in my neck and traps and I can feel the stiffness in my neck and traps. I visited an urgent care and they diagnosed it to be a muscle pull and prescribed a muscle relaxer. I am still feeling the pain in my neck and traps and I can feel stiffness in my traps. I feel relaxed when I apply heat. Can you please suggest how I can recover from pain quickly?
|
Hello. I read your concern. I would suggest you to frequently do icing over the tight areas like 15 minutes once every two hours followed by gentle stretching. Hope this is helpful for you. For more information consult a physiotherapist online

Hello I don t understand why I feel like I do I know I have scardosos, I have had 5 neck surgeries over the years, and now I have problems with my lower back pain, which is now going down my legs my arms and hands are weak, I have trouble catching my breath lime today we went and picked strawberries I felt dizzy like I was going to pass out or vomit what is wrong with me
|
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! You should know that weakness of your hands is not related to the lumbar spine. In fact, it can be explained by cervical spine degeneration or spinal canal stenosis in these levels. Other possible causes to consider would be polyneuropathy, especially considering the fact that this is a common complication of acidosis. Coming to this point, I would recommend performing a cervical spine MRI study and a nerve conduction study for polyneuropathy. You should consult with a neurologist and discuss these issues. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Wishing all the best,

Hello, my mom had knee surgery about a month ago, was in rehab for 2 weeks and now she is home about 2 weeks. I saw her Monday and she seemed under the weather, and here in ny it was beautiful out. But anyway, that night she started with a fever. She has had it ever since, and does respond to Tylenol, but fever has been spiking over and over again. she hasn t broken it. what do you think
|
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of your mother. As you mentioned she has undergone knee surgery it is not connected to that. Usually there is a slow metabolism in her which has been making her feel weak. Also, please understand that due to the surgery her mobility is reduced, which has lead to weakness a lot. As the cellular metabolism is slow. It will take body to get adapted to the optimum performance again which is not a concern. Also, on a safer side the blood & urine culture performed will assist if he has developed any infection. Or else in my understanding with personal experience I do not think she has fever due to knee surgery. Slow metabolism will lead to little rise in temperature and bodily physiological functioning. Put her on exercises as it will help improve the strength and metabolism. Also, performing regular breathing exercises will help her to have oxygenated blood for the systemic requirements. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

My MRI result is : several bilateral hemispheric deep and subcortical lacunar infarcts. I am 60 years old woman. I am on medication for hypertension since 6 years or so and medications for diabetes,and cholesterol. My question am I going to have stroke in the future and what are the symtoms knowing that I have been diagnosed with laberentitis since two months and I still feel unbalanced walking. do I have to see a doctore for the brain....???
|
The risk for stroke increases with age, smoking, heavy alcohol use, diabetes and hypertension, is more in males than females. While you cannot modify the risk based on your age or gender, you can take certain precautions to reduce the risk for stroke. 1) Keep a watch on your blood pressure and blood sugar levels (have your hypertension and diabetes in check)2) Have physical activity as per your physicians' advice. Based on your general health and your heart condition, he will prescribe you an exercise regimen.3) Eat a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low in oil and fat.4) Have mental activity - like solving the crossword, other puzzles, or reading books which will help you to avoid the other consequence of lacuna infarcts i.e. dementia (memory loss and cognitive decline). You may still consult your neurologist especially because your giddiness could be related to the small infarcts in certain brain areas. You will be prescribed medications that can bring relief of symptoms even though they may not reverse the infarcts that have already occurred.

Hi I am a male aged 43 and with normal health except for tickling at times at the edge of anus. Also, of late i have got light pale patches at the edges of my moustache that looks very odd. Some say it is due to worms. Plz suggest any medicine.Regards Anand
|
Hello Anand, Yes it may be due to worms. You can take tab ALBENDAZOLE 400 m.g in this way-1 Tablet on Day 1 morning1 tablet on Day 2 morning1 tablet on Day 3 morning1 tablet on Day 7 morning. Also take a multivitamin tablet every day for 7 days. This would kill the worms in your body and expel them. Do not scratch your anal area as you would be reinfected if the worms remain in your nails. Wash your hands with soap prior to any meal. Hope this helps, Chat Doctor.

I have dry scaly skin on the back of both legs (calf)..and on both ankle bones..it will almost go away then return. I had a cream from dermatologist..i would use a rasp to scrape skin then put it on..and each day it would dissapear little by little..but keeps eventually coming back..what is it do you think?
|
Hi, You seem to have necrosis on both lower legs. It is characterized by Chat Doctor. There may be uneasy sensation or itching. There may be genetic tendency. You consult dermatologist and have blood tests to rule out DM, thyroid dysfunction, anaemia, HIV and other internal diseases. After thorough examination and investigations, your doctor might advise application of moisturizer containing liq paraffin and algebra. Avoid soap bath. You may use detail liq for bath. During bathing, you may massage olive oil. After few months' treatment, you might improve. I hope you got my answer. Thanks.

My 21 month son s cheek/ jaw is swollen. It just swelled up. He is not in pain and will let us touch it. I believe he is teething because he has a runny nose and has a pacifier in his mouth at all times. (He does not use nor has he ever used a pacifier before). We are going to call his doctor and take him in tomorrow but what should be do in the mean time?
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The swelling in the cheek and jaw can be because of the wisdom tooth infection(Peritonitis or periodontal abscess leading to cellulitis). Nothing to be panic, Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule the amount of space present for the tooth to erupt if space is there for the tooth to erupt then the gum covering over the wisdom tooth can be removed. If the space is not available then you have to get the wisdom tooth removed. Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole (if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hello doctor,I lost my upper incisor after a childhood injury which later on was replaced by a dental bridge by a dentist who damaged my three healthy teeth to fix the bridge. It has been 15 years now and I want to go for implants. So, I have questions about what would be the whole approach? My bridge will be removed along with the teeth it is fixed on? And after how much time implants will be done?
|
Hello. Basically, getting implants is a surgical procedure where the dentist would be putting an implant in your bone through a small surgery under local anesthesia. After that you will have to wait for a few months for the implant to osseointegrate inside the bone means it will adapt itself inside the bone like the natural root. After that, there will be a second stage surgery, a very small procedure. After a few months, you will be getting the crown or the artificial tooth permanently. But before all of this, you need to get your bridge out, the teeth will not be removed with the bridge. For more information consult a dentist online

I am allergic to wasp. I am pretty sure I got stung by one a few minutes ago. Now I dont feel good. It feels like someones trying to block me from breathing. It may be exaggerated, but it feels like that. Also, my nostrils feel like there on fire. I got stung on my ear lobe. Is there anything dangerous about a wasp sting? Are ther anymore symptoms I should watch for?
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor If you are allergic to wasp stings, then it can potentially cause a severe allergic reaction. Immediate treatment would involve the use of oral antihistamines. If the oral antihistamine is not having an effect or your symptoms are worsening then you should seek medical attention. IF the area is painful the use of anti-inflammatory pain medication such as Catalan, ibuprofen or naproxen may help. Symptoms and signs of allergic reaction are: weals, itching, nasal symptoms, in severe reactions-swelling of the tongue, chest pain, shortness of breath, wheezing, dizziness hope this helps

I am 25 years old. In my case i am 100% sure that there is a link between Masturbation and my Gyne. Whenever i masturbate, i can feel some heavyness and discomfort in my Breast area, the discomfort stays for a day(this is happening for the last 9 years). In the last 1 month...i masturbated a lot, now the boobs appears to have become big. Even if i dont ejaculate, i can feel the heavyness and discomfort in my boobs while i am masturbating. I don t think it is due to the workout of my right arm during masturbation. There is some definitely some connection between Masturbation and Gynecomastia .
|
HelloThanks for your query. You have been indulged in frequent masturbation since long time, and you have noticed heaviness in your breast and the size of the breast also gets increased on masturbation. Please note that Gynecomastia is due to hormonal imbalance and not related to masturbation at all.First there is myth in a mind of common man that excessive masturbation is the reason of varied health problems But I would like to state that it has been discussed in scientific forums all over the world and proved scientifically that masturbation does not have any negative effect on any organ or system in the body. All the problems that you are facing now are mind related and due to anxiety. Please consult qualified endocrinologist for clinical examination hormonal assessment to rule out any hormonal imbalance as a cause of Gynecomastia. Chat Doctor.

I have a bunch of bruises on my legs and arms, which I can t totally account for. I took a pretty good fall and the pool last weekend where I twisted my ankle when they all started showing up. I only twisted my ankle. My ankle is only mildly bruised. Following this by a 3 or 4 days later I got a severe cramp in my calf muscle in the middle of the night and for the past two days my calf has been hurting. Is this something I should follow up with my MD?
|
Hi, Bruising and calf pain following injury may be due to calf muscle strain with bruising. Bruising may be due to blood vessels injury lead to blood leakage lead to hematoma formation. Avoid exertion, use compression, take rest. Elevate the limb. Use NSAIDs if necessary. If symptoms not improved please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

small lump behind left knee. Believe it s been there for 7 months post schleratherapy. Will it go away on its own or do I need it drained? Could it be a bloodclot. It feels somewhat close to the surface by adjacent to a tendon so it bothers me since I can always feel it.
|
Hi, If the lump has occurred after a Sclerothrapy then it is most likely a thrombosed varsity. A vein which was scleroses has a clot in it which is the desired effect. Did you use any kind of Compression after the therapy? You should use compression to decrease the swelling. If it is not red and painful then it does not require Chat Doctor. You should use compression in the form of CrΓͺpe bandage or Class II Compression stockings. It should get resolved with that. Otherwise, you can see your Surgeon who can have a look at it. Do not worry. It would be alright. Take care,

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more but better to rule out pleuritic pain first. You are having chest pain associated with breathing. This is characteristic feature of pleuritic pain. Most common cause for this is lung infection. So first get done chest x-ray. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry about pleurisy. Musculoskeletal pain is more likely. So avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Avoid movements causing pain. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

i am female &1 week post op (open) inguinal hernia repair with mesh . I have noted a lot of swelling in the area ( groin) . i am an RN but do not have experience with this type of post op problem . i am concerned but not sure how concerned i need to be. i am hoping this is all a normal part of the recovery . Basically asking & hoping others have experienced the same . I have a lot of bruising but was wondering if this is secondary to the heparin therapy i received post op? I stayed overnight in hospital & was given 3 doses of routine post op heparin therapy. The overnight stay was a planned event . Please advise if some of this could be normal. ? My next appt is next week .
|
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. From your history, it seems that the swelling could be due to a hematoma formation (collection of blood in the subcutaneous tissue) post surgery, and the bruise could be due to the hematoma itself. In the worst case the swelling and induration might be due to a recurrence of the hernia due to in adequate repair. However, this needs to be confirmed by a clinical examination and related investigations. It is unusual for the routine post op heparin therapy to cause such bruise. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

Our daughter was diagnosed with an ear infection on Thursday. Today, Sunday, she is complain ing of intermitent knee pain, ankle pain, and back pain. When I took a look at her back I noticed a small bruise (the size of a nickel), an hour later, I noticed a large swollen area around the small bruise, no additional bruising, just swelling, a little larger than a softball in diameter. What is happening with her? She is not taking any oral medication, just drops for her ear.
|
Dear patient What is her age? If she is around 10 then ear infection with multiple joint pains and with nodules in back suggest diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever. Is joint pain shifting for one joint to others? Is she having palpitations? Acute rheumatic fever is condition caused by bacteria in which first there is sore throat and ear infection followed 2 weeks after with multiple shifting joint pains and nodules over the body. You need to consult physician or cardiologist as soon as possible and get yourself examined. Large dose of aspirin and injection penicillin is usually given for treatment.

Last night I started having a toothache on my upper left side. The only thing that would alleviate the pain was cold water, and this morning I woke up and it feels even worse. I have taken ibuprofen but it hasn t helped much. I am 20 years old and have not had my wisdom teeth removed (The pain is not towards the back though).
|
Hi, i read your problem, you did not tell about hot water response. As you have pain when you woke up in the morning was even worse, it may be due to bruise. But you did not give the proper dental history. So I will suggest you please go to a dentist and go for the whole mouth examination done and radiographs too., and please follow all the given instructions. Nothing to get worried go for proper treatment do not leave the treatment in between as you will get relief. Take care Chat Doctor.

My mom was diagnosed with lung cancer 8 years ago, which spread to the brain 3 years ago. Recently we were told the lesions in the brain have continued to grow and at this point there is nothing else they can do as she has received focal radiation 2x and full brain radiation. She has other areas that are affected like her adrynoel gland but we are told that without treatment for the brain the chemo for the lung area isn t really going to help as the brian growth will be the ultimate issue. Her doctors have stopped treatments and have given us a 3 - 6 month prognosis . However, her oncologist has also indicated that her cancer is a slow growht cancer. She was given an MRI in April where they indicated there was minor fluctuation. Had another MRI on 6/6 slight increas from 1.9 x 1.8 to 2.2 x 2.1. Another lesion increased from 1.0 x 0.9 to 1.4 x 1.0 and a third increased from 1.3 x 0.7 to 1.5 x 0.9. She had her final MRI on 7/24 and the three increased to 2.9 x 2.4 from 2.2 x 2.1 and 1.8 x 1.1 from 1.5 x 0.9. From what i have read once a patient stops chemo it seems like the general prognosis is 3 - 6 months? Do you think the prognosis is accurate? It doesn t appear that the lesions grew signficantly.
|
As the appearance of the sessions tells us she has slow growing tumor. The brain sessions can be treated now with new radiotherapy techniques such as MRT, SRS after seeing the MR even though she has received radiation previously.about chemo, if general condition is fair she can continue chemo -It is not like that chemo stopped the prognosis is 0nly months. The brain lesson will grow continuously until she receives the radiation therapy

But its should be used once your period become regular and after correction of hormonal imbalance. You can also ask for Progesterone pill in second half of period: to support implantation, Camphene citrate: to induce ovulation USG and ovarian follicle study should be due after taking treatment. If ovarian follicle size between 18-21 mm then there is high chance of pregnancy. If there is problem in maturation of ovarian follicle then Chat Doctor injection should be useful.

I can understand your concern, this pain can be due to periodontal or periapical problem or trigeminal neuralgia also but as you have pain in jaws don't worry don't take so much stress be relaxed and consult to dentist for Act treated tooth that if there is any periapical pathology present in RCT treated tooth causing pain. If there is periapical pathology then go for RE RCT and oral prophylaxis, but if you won't get relief then go to neurologist for opinion. Hope this will help you.

Hello doctor, I m 36 yrs,trying to pregnant via IVF asap. My doctor was asking if I had TB in the past,as my tubes are damaged. My two sisters and father had TB 12 to 15 yrs before. Can I know whether I got the infection from them? That time our family doctor had not suggested to take anti tuberculosis med to any other members in our family. They had the TB dieases from the chest.but here doctor is telling now I had the uterus and tubes infection.the lining is not properly my 2 IVF got failed. Now I m taking AKT 4 tablets for 3 months as he suggested .wanted to know if I ll cure after that ? tubes are already damaged it can not be cure. Uterus will get cure ?

Hi, You may have endometrial tuberculosis (TB). Having family member with TB is a risk factor. You might have got TB infection from a family member. Even you had the infection many years ago it may stay in your organism unnoticed. When your immune system weakens it will produce clinical symptoms. Although TB mostly affects lungs, but it may involve any organ including the uterus. Your doctor prescribed AKT4. You probably have diagnosed with active TB, and it is curable. If I had a patient with active TB in the uterus (endometrial TB) I would suggest attempting to get pregnant after a patient totally cleared out the infection. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the choice if the tubes (Fallopian) are severely damaged and after the treatment usually patients will have normal pregnancy. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Have a broken tooth and is causing a lot of pain, because I am on coumadine for cardiac reason I have to be off of it for 4 days before they will remove tooth, what is the best thing to take for the pain? to get me thru till they can pull it 4 days from now. I am a wimp and have zero pain tolorence.
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain in the broken tooth can be because of the infection in the rot tip or movement of the fractured tooth fragment while chewing. Since you are cardiac patient, and you are on blood thinner Chat Doctor. If I am your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to get a complete blood investigation like BT, CT, PT, including INR. If the INR is normal then you can get the tooth removed without stopping the Coumadin. Meanwhile, you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500Β mg and metronidazole 400Β mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic) and analgesics like paracetamol for the pain. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Dear serve understand your concerns went through your details. Body pain and chest pain are a characteristic symptom of anxiety disorder. There are many reasons for this chest pain which links it to anxiety disorder. Anxiety causes digestive issues and acid reflex problems. This acid reflex issues can cause congestion of chest and thus chest pain. Anxiety breathing will be usually fast and this fast breathing can cause hyperventilation. Hyperventilation can cause chest pain. Panicking on chest pain can cause further deterioration. Relaxation techniques, cognitive therapy etc. can help you overcome this problem.

Hi, I have been trying to conceive for just over a year now. I was on the pill from when I was 15, I came off it Jan 2013 (I am 29 years old). I have a 29 day cycle. I started using the clearblue fertility monitor. One month I ovulate mid cycle, the next month is always very irregular. The first time I ovulated around day 17/18 of my cycle and this time the fertility monitor has shown high levels of estrogen from day 12 - till today day 19 and I still haven t peaked and ovulated. Is late ovulation a problem? Is there a way of regulating when I ovulate? Could this be why I am struggling to conceive? Thanks so much in advance for your help.
|
Hello Mam, I just read your query.* See normally ovulation occurs around 14th day of cycle. But it may vary, so women are advice to conceive between 12-14 days of cycle. But the ovulation period may vary in every woman according to her hormones and cycle.* As you have mentioned fertility monitor, and you are keeping an eye on ovulation. But let me clear you one thing that along with ovulation, size of egg and rupture of egg is also important. Sometimes size is mildly lesser than the normal size and sometimes egg is normal and ovulation occurs, but egg did not rupture as a result one will be failed in conceiving.* So I advise you to start taking Tab. Folic acid(5Β mg) one tablet once a day. As it will help in proper growth of egg.*If you still want to give some more try without help of doctor then take this tablet daily for three months and keep on trying. * Other way is taken this tablet and go for ovulation study in a nearby scan center as it will provide you the exact knowledge about your follicle and if somehow follicle does not rupture, and you will come to know about this, then you can consult your gynecologist. She will recommend you one injection which help in rupturing, and it would be easier for you to get conceived * Eat healthy and fresh food. Do exercise and walk daily as exercise and walk will help in increased pelvic blood flow as a result better uterus health.* I know that you are completely concerned about your problem, but still go for general check up of your husband as well as for his semen analysis too. * All these factors will help you in solving your problem.* I hope you are satisfied with my answer. Thank you.

hi, my name is justin and i suffer from chronic pain for several different reasons and i take creams, do physical therapy, exercise, and take medications. my question is what i can take that is equal to or similar to dilaudid 8 mg tab? I take methadone primarily but sometimes (mostly at night) I have to take another medication for breakthrough pain and i am prescribed dilaudid 8mg tablets and they don t seem to work very well.
|
Hi, Okay, the methadone does not appear to be prescribed. Taking opiates that are not prescribed is dangerous, illegal and signals more of an issue than just pain. The other key point is that the system gets used to opiates and more and more is needed for the same effect. The fatal dose does not increase to the same degree and this, of course, leads to a dangerous situation. Addiction treatment with methadone is usually helpful with pain. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

i have recently been told i have spondylotic changes at the mid - lower cervical spine with osteophytic spurring and mild disc space narrowing at c5/c6. What doe this mean? i have a lot of pain in my neck and suffer from pins and needles in my hands, especially the right hand.
|
Hi, thanks for posting your concern in the Chat Doctor. Simply speaking, cervical spondylosis refers to a condition in which there is mechanical wearing of the intervertebral disc cushions due to lose of HY Chat Doctor. The surrounding ligaments also lose their elasticity. There is biomechanical incompetence. The joint space narrows down, annulus bulges forward and facets override. There may be abnormal growths or spurs on the bones of the spine. Gradually one or more nerve roots are compressed resulting in articular pain, tingling, numbness in the distribution of the affected nerve. For rehabilitation and conservative management, immobilization of the cervical spine is the mainstay of treatment. Traction may be applied, although it has no proven benefit in cervical pain. Superficial and deep heat therapy to the local tissue may help. Analgesics and muscle relaxants may also be taken. In case of progressive neurodeficit, intractable pain or documented compression of nerve root(s) surgical intervention may be needed. For any further questions, please write back to us. Regards.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your creatinine level is slightly high. There is high chance of kidney damage in hypertensive patients. You should consult your doctor and start treatment to reduce your creatinine level. You can start with lasix tablets. It is a prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly and regularly check your creatinine level.

yes, i am trying to get my husband to see a neurologist to find out how extensive his brain and heart damage is, and if they will ever heal after he got hurt at work last august while running an excavator at a dairy farm by the toxic gases from a liquid manure truck that ran all day every day for the entire 5 days he was there fixing the canal.
|
Hello. Thanks for asking from Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. There are mainly four manure gases which cause tissue damage - HY Chat Doctor. They cause mainly irritation of breathing apparatus e.g. nose, oral cavity, larynx, trachea and lungs. This is followed by poor oxygen intake and ultimately hypoxia and asphyxia. Poor oxygen amount in blood leads to damage to brain, heart and rest organs. Direct damage to brain and heart occurs at high concentration of these gases which is usually fatal. Now in case of your husband, damage to heart and brain can only be predicted after evaluating his signs and symptoms. If he is conscious, oriented, following simple commands, able to answer simple "yes-no" questions, able to remember important date/ad

Hello doctor,I have epilepsy since childhood. It had disappeared for a while, but it has resurfaced now. My doctor has given me tablets of Lactum 500 mg and 250 mg. How can I prevent it? Are there any precautions? Please help me.
|
Hello. I read your query and understand your concerns. I am sorry to inform you that currently, medications are the only effective option to prevent further occurrence of seizures. I am glad to note that there is a response with medication. So, you need to follow the advice of your doctor. In addition, to prevent seizure episodes, the following things should be practiced to the possible extent. Although I am not sure what the dot in your CT scan is, often it represents either tuberculoma or cysticercosis. These two conditions need treatment for a duration of two years or more and many of the individuals get cured over a period of time. I hope this answers you. Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions. For more information consult a neurologist online Take care.

after pathological examinaion it is found that alkaline phosphate is 302 as my age is about 56 years .i was suffering with harpis before two years. alway feel itching at the skin of abdomen and it put hand on abdoment feel senstivenes and some type of slight touch pain may can help what is problem and which department of CMC should be consult .
|
Hi. Thanks for your query and history. There are many causes of increased ALK Phosphatase- the major being hepatitis with obstruction to the outflow of bile. The other causes are bone problems like secondary cancerous growth, some cancers and so on. The first thing I would advise you to be :Liver function tests. Ultrasonography of the abdomen. Bone scan. Once the cause is found, it will be easy for the treatment to be given. As for the Herpetic neuralgia: it can take months and years as the age advances for the pain to settle. You can try for nerve ablation and such surgical procedures or Medicines like GAbapentin in increasing dosages.

suddenly experiencing groin pain. As I sat down on the couch two days ago it momenterily felt like I pulled a muscle in my inner left thigh. It quickly turned to testicle, groin and lower abdominal pain. The sensation was as if I was kicked in the groin. The problem is: I ve been in exteme pain in those areas for two days. I ve tried icing the area and then tried heat. I ve tried being very stationary with little movement and then I tried to slowly walk it off. I ve been taking advil to help with the pain. I continue in pain but when the effect of the advil wanes, the pain effects my body temperature and I shiver with chills. This Isn t just an ordinarty groin pull. What could it be and what should I do?
|
Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The symptoms seem to be related to a pulled muscle in the groin. I suggest using muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three times a day. I also suggest using magnesium supplements. Furthermore, I recommend using cold compresses for local application. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards! Chat Doctor.

Hello! My 3 year old son went swimming to our gym pool with his dad, and after they were done, he started being very cold. After we got home we covered him with clohes and blanket. Maybe and hour after that he got fever. Gave him ibuprofen, fever went down, but it was back in few hours. My husband also said that my son may have swallowed some of the pool water. What can be the problem? Should I take him to the doctor in the morning? Thank you
|
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. You did right in giving him Ibuprofen. Fever of few hours without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.

Hi, I am almost 6 weeks pregnant and have had a small amount of bright red blood from the vagina, not enough to stain underwear, only visible when I wipe after urinating. Was a very very small amount of tissue in toilet. Now I have an almost clear discharge similar to what I experienced when my period was due. I m really worried, do I need to see a doctor?
|
Hallow Dear, No bleeding is normal during pregnancy and indicates some threat to the pregnancy. If at 6 weeks pregnancy you had little bleeding, you have to be on the guard. 1. Please restrict yourself to the bed. Fortunately you do not have any pain. So even if this is threatened abortion, attempts can be made to salvage the pregnancy. Maybe you will be given Progestational preparations. 2. Report to your Obstetrician for proper evaluation. 3. Ultrasonography may be handy to identify the cause of bleeding and the integrity of the pregnancy. I hope this helps you. D Chat Doctor.

Hello, This MRI finding is not indicative of sciatica. Sciatica usually causes back pain irradiating in one or both legs, which is triggered by walking or sitting position. For this reason, I would recommend performing regular physiotherapy and checking your knees too (an X-ray study of both knee joints, coupled with inflammation tests). Take care.

I curruntly are being treated for stage 3 breast cancer ..her 2..Im on the last of the herceptin of which I will finish in november..It was time to do a pet scan and it came out positibve..today I had a mamogram that showed something wrong so they did an ultrasound..my lymph nodes are swollen and my breat on the right is swollen..I have a Breast mri scheduled for wednesday and they they will be doing a biopesy..is the cancer back...I cant stand the waiting its driving me insane..what does a positive pet scan mean...does it mean def cancer?
|
Welcome to ChatDoctorThanks for the query. Well, positive pet scan is a bad sign, but it still doesn't mean that there is cancer recurrence since a lot of pets scan results are false positive. However since this was stage 3 and there is breast swelling and lymph node enlargement, I am afraid that this may be cancer, and you need to wait biopsy and start treatment right after it. You ll probably need both chemo and radiotherapy. Wish you good health. Regards.

I have a red, very itchy, inflamed rash on my neck, thighs and lower legs. It is intensely itchy and has been this way for months. I had a similar outbreak this time last year. I was given prednisolone and steroid cream. I also tried a scabies treatment and some anti biotics. Nothing I tried relieved the issue. Eventually it went away however now it is back I am concerned it will not clear up again. I have introduced no new products or foods to my usual routine. Please help!!

Hi, Thanks for your querySeems like you have developed an edematous skin condition. These types of skin allergic reactions tend up come or exacerbate every year at about the same time.Airborne allergens play an important role in such cases. Treatment of these includes the use of both topical and systemic steroids. You seem to be similarly treated previously. I would advise you to see a dermatologist and get a skin biopsy and blood allergy tests done. So you should visit a nearby dermatologist for proper assessment and treatment. Hope it helps Best wishes for a speedy recovery Chat Doctor.

My 4 year old has Paronychia on her left thumb and I noticed today that underneath her nail is white, and appears to be pushing up.

I think she might have been sucking on it. Is it time to take her into see her physician and get her on antibiotics?

Hi thanks for asking question in Chat Doctor. Here your child suffering for parochial. In early stage it is treated without surgical intervention. Apply local antibiotic cream over it and soak that nail in warm water 3 to 4 times a day. Usually it resolves with these measures within few days. If still no benefit then oral antibiotic needed. If abscess develop secondary to infection incision and Chat Doctor. If still parochial not improving then consult surgeon for surgical repair of it.

I had a car wreck in 1992. Through the years Ive had a lot of neck and back pain. In 2008 I had a cervical fusion of C4-C7. I am in severe pain all the time. I had a MRI in 2010 and one a few weeks ago. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia as well, so Im not sure if the chronic, severe pain is from the neck problems, the fibromyalgia, or both. I had to quit work due to the pain makes me sick at times, severe headaches. legs & hands give out and tire very easily. I am a 41 year old female. This is very frustrating to me. I feel like if it keeps progressing, Im not going to be able to do much of anything. I can tell it just continues to get worse. This is the MRI results from 2010-There has been anterior fusion of c5, c6 & c7 with surgical screws & an anterior plate creating metal artifacts. Hypertrophic changes of the odontoid process & associated atlas are noted without narrowing of the adjacent subarachnoid space. There is no visible abnormality of the cervical spinal cord. At c4-5, osteoarthritic changes of the left facet joint are noted. There is a mild left-sided neural foraminal encroachment. There is bulging of the c4-5 disc without focal disc herniation or obliteration of the anterior subarachnoice space. No cord compression. At c6-7, posterior osteophyte formation without neural foraminal encroachment or disc herniation is noted . Ok now this is the results of the one I had a couple of months ago. There are postop changes consistent with an anterior fusion from c4-c7 with a compression plate transfixed of the vertebral bodies with screws at all three levels. There is a mild to moderate disc space narrowing at c4-5 and mild disc narrowing the AP diamter of the thecal sac to 10mm and very mildling effacing/flattening the cervical spinal cord. No significant spinal canal stenosis is seen at the surgical site. The neuroforamina are patent though there is mild right foraminal stenosis at c6-7 due to hypertrophic changes of uncovertebral joint. The visualized portions of the posterior fossa is unremarkable. So my question is has my problems progressed from 2010 to now, and are all these issues enough to cause this severe pain, numbness, & weakness in hands and legs. Or is it a combination of this plus the fibromyalgia. I try to go get a massage when I can afford it. The lady that does my massages said I have huge knots in my neck and shoulder muscles. She can never get them worked out completely. The massage does help at the time, and for a short time afterwards, but never last. I have tried injections and physical therapy. Nothing helps for any amount of time. Some days are so painful, I can hardly stand it. My neurosurgeon says another surgery is definetly in my future, but he wants to try and treat me with facet injections for as long as possible because I am so young. I already have trouble driving because I cant turn my head very much. I have limited mobility in my neck already, so I know that another surgery would probably make it impossible for me to continue to drive. I would appreciate another opinion. Thanks,
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have gone through your detailed descriptions, and it helped me a lot in understanding your problems. It is unfortunate that you have severe neuropathic pain and limitation of daily activities. Regarding your disease progression, there is little or no disease progression as per the MRI reports. I agree surgery is not required at present. In addition to the treatments that you are having at present, medications such as pregabalin or gabapentin would be useful. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/

When does growth spurt end normally for boys? I have been craving for foods more than i usually do. I will be 18 this year and obviously i m done with puberty. I was wondering that does my craving for foods mean i am experiencing puberty again or it s just because i like to eat?The last time i grew was when i was 16, i find it hard to believe that i just grew an inch because i started swimming regularly for months and i only ended up growing am inch, which is dissappointing.Does it mean i can still grow?
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Growth is a natural process. Muscle has nothing to do with increase in height. When your bones increase in length, height increases. Muscles provide support to bones and posture to the whole body. Growth is noted even up to the age of 25, but usually between 20 and 22. Growth spurt can start anytime between 15 and 20, but the duration is not at all calculated. Duration could be from one year to 3 or 4 years. Enjoy with whatever you have. Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

Hi! My 18 month old had hand, foot and mouth disease last week and passed it along to my husband. Little blisters began to form on his hands, feet and mouth on Friday but is still not feeling any better. He has a cough (he s had over two weeks), low fever, mild headache and feels light headed. My impression of the diseases was that he should be feeling better after the blisters appeared but that does not seem to be the case. He feels worse now than he did Friday. Should he see a doctor tomorrow?
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a group of viruses known as retroviruses. This is a condition which can lead to fever, blisters on the hands and feet, mouth sores, sore throat and a poor appetite. It can spread from one person to another through direct contact with discharge from the nose and throat, saliva, infected stools, or fluid from a blister. There is no specific treatment for HFMD. Medication may be given for relief of symptoms such as fever and aches. I would suggest yo to follow1. Good personal hygiene2. Oral NSAIDs3. Topical anesthetics to minimize the pain caused by the blisters.4. Wash your hands frequently. Thank you.

Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Your pain after intercourse may be related to muscular pain and pain due to fatigue.

yes sir.i m 21 yrs old.my height is 5.1 and weight 42 kg.i hav been suffering for chronic diahrea for last 3 yrs.i was advised that it was due to anxiety by asian institute of gastrology.they refused to give any anti depressnt initially and advised to stay relaxed.i m btr now but still get the lose motion at sometimes.so i consulted a pschychiatrist and she prescribed me rexipra 10 mg and prothiaden 25 mg.is it ok to take these just for anxiety?
|
From the history you give, I understand that you have been having diarrhea (frequent stools). Gastroenterologists would have investigated you in detail and then come to the diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syn Chat Doctor. This is considered a functional gastrointestinal disorder. That means there is no inflammation or other abnormality with your intestines, but they are a little overactive. Such a condition is likely to be seen if you are anxious or having stress. This is the reason, you were first asked to relax by yourself. You may try yoga or psychotherapy to help you relax and tolerate the stresses in life. An alternative way is to take medications like Escitalopram (extra) and tiepin (prothiaden). You may consult your psychiatrist for further dosing adjustments and see if one of these medications work.

I have not been feeling very well since November, experiencing shortness of breath, chest pains and morning nausea . Visited the er twice because I thought I was having a heart attack , but my primary care physician is convinced I have a panic disorder . However, I still wake up in the morning feeling nausea and discomfort in the chest. What can I do?
|
Hi there, thanks for asking. If panic attacks last more than a month, it is called panic disorder. If you have not been evaluated for the medical causes that might induce panic like hyperthyroidism, some benign tumors, heart issues like arrhythmia, you should your doctor to do that since it is not done in the emergency room. Panic attack or panic disorder is treatable. There are good medications for it discovered during the last 20 years. If the therapy is combined with talk sessions, you can discontinue the medication after a while. I wish you a good health.

He diagnosed with prostate enlargement and there was nothing on the scan reports. My problem is with my penis. Help me. I m getting married next year. I m not getting strong erections and unable to get one
|
Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum In short: Prostate enlargement is unlikely at this age. Explanation: What caused your penis to swell? Any swelling due to injury or infection can cause erection dysfunction temporarily. You may be having prostatitis(infection of prostate) as your doctor said something about prostate. So, take complete course of treatment and wait till your infection and swelling gets cured. You will regain your erection capacity after that.

I am a 74 year old female.....relatively active. stress with a 93 year old mother...I am the sole caretaker . however she is in assisted living and a wheelchair. I have some pain in hip and knee joints. I am overweight by about 30 lbs. I do eat well , but do indulge in ice cream and cookies. I feel I am gaining weight , but the scales don t show that. now I am having hot flashes. I see my primary care doctor at least every 6 months. my blood work is very good. the thyroid is borderline normal.
|
As per your explanation I suggest having check on your calcium and via d. And start taking this since you need it as per your age. As well for pain initially you can use hot pack and use some pain relieving ointment after use of hot pack for 10to 15minuts. This should help you. Also visit once physio therapist to have idea on what all exercise you can do to strengthen the muscles so that it won't pain you back by supporting your joint. If needed you can also take few sessions of physiotherapy for early relief. I am sure every thing will be fine with all this but still if you have issue do visit your or tho doctor to discus it in detail. Hope this must be useful for you. Take care

Hi, You have mentioned pain in your Left upper limb region since 4 days with difficulty in movements along with one episode of shortness of breath / headache etc. Can you tell me : - whether you are only feeling pain in the left upper limb or is there any pain along with numbness, weakness, paresthesia etc. also in the limb? - how severe is your neck pain and since how long has it been there? - Do you have symptoms of acidity/reflux previously as well? - As far as your cardiac issues are there, you will have to get ECG and show it to your physician to rule out any issues there Since you are also pregnant right now, I cannot advise you too many medications but what you can start with is gentle physical therapy, Ice fomentation and local analgesic spray/ointment application. You can also use a sling for 4-5 days on the left upper limb just to offload it. Daily brisk walking is important. In case symptoms of shortness of breath, chest pain etc. arises, you must immediately go and meet the nearest physician so that any cardiac issue can be ruled out. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me in a greater detail in a private consultation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

i have just been diagnosed with spinocerebellurar ataxia, a neurodegenerative disease. my mri showed shrinkage of the cerrebellum. next week getting more tests. can you tell me if i will need a spinal tap? is there anything i can do to stop or slow progression? does it help to have a gluten or sugar free diet? is this always hereditary? im worried my 2 children might have this. thanks!
|
Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Spinocerebellar ataxia is a hereditary condition, depending on type of disease we can say the probability of occurrence in next generation. It is a progressive and irreversible disease, although not all types cause equally severe disability. Physical therapy generally emphasizes postural balance and gait training for ataxia problems. Medications are available to reduce symptoms. Consult your doctor for examination and management. Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care. Regards

I ve been sick for about 5 weeks with various upper respiratory issues. I went to the doctor again today with a sore throat, and she gave me some amoxicillin/penicillin. Upon inspection of my throat tonight, I found a rather large yellow lump in the back of my throat. It isn t near my tonsils (not tonsil stone) but rather in the very back of my throat, where post-nasal drip can be found. What is this yellow lump?
|
Hi thanks for spring your problem here in this forum... Yellow lump that you are telling about in the posterior region is most probably the post nasal Chat Doctor. .that is found when the damaged tissue gets infected...if your doctor have examined you then it may not be something dangerous...you should take the medications advised by doctor...hope it will be fine soon...I will add one thing to do saline Gorgas frequently.....thanks

Im 21years 8months of old. recently because of excessive pain i got u/s for scortum and im diagnosed with bilateral Grade 1 varicocele and epididmyal cyst on the right testis.im having pain or discomfort from past one year. please teme the best solution possible, because Im afraid of ma on coming marriage life
|
HelloThanks for query. Based on your statement you have Bilateral Grade 1 Varicocele with Epididymis Cyst on Rt side. Grade one Varicocele do not require any active intervention and can be dealt with measures like wearing scrotal support, avoiding Chat Doctor. And taking mild painkillers when required. As regards Epididymis Cyst it is benign painless cyst and does not require any treatment. Monitor the grade of Varicocele by doing Ultra Sound Scanning of Scrotum every six months and get your semen analysis done to know the total sperm count to rule out Oligospermia which is deciding factor as regards surgical intervention to treat Varicocele.

hi. I had my gallbladder &gallstones removed 14 months ago. yesterday, I got a sudden sharp pain on the righ hand side of my stomach. after about 10 minutes I started to vomit badly. in total I vomited 6 times in 30 minutes. the pain continued for 2 hours and then gradually eased. today my side is tender. please could you tell me what this might be.
|
Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Sudden sharp pain with vomiting may be due to acute gastritis, acute GE or obstruction. Since you have right side abdomen pain the chance of duodenal ulcer is more. I hope there is no blood or green fluid in your vomits and not suffering from fever. If your bowel movements are normal. Take tab pantoprazole with metoclopramide and tab. Dicyclomine. Since you got your gall bladder removed and if symptoms persists take your doctors' opinion once. Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care. Regards

I have pain in my right leg on the inside near calf, it has been painfull for the last couple of weeks. its in the same area where i fell a couple of years ago and i had a huge bruise which last about 8 months do you think i should get this checked. thank you Helen
|
Hi Helen... Your calf pain can be related to the fall, If there is any unhealed inflammation exists in the tendon or bursae. Or a mild strain in the medial collateral ligament. That might give rise to such issues...Don't worry... I recommend you to get your knee checked to find the source of the issue...and start appropriate treatment...meanwhile... I suggest you to kindly icing frequently in your painfully area...Don't strain your knee like running squatting.... Keep your knee wrapped with a compression bandage if possible.... Hope this is helpful for forever back in case you need any further clarification....

I have recently been prescribed Meloxicam 7.5MG (one tablet twice a day) for substantial lower back pain - Injections in the back last only about 1.5 weeks. Is this medication safe? What exactly are the potential side effects? Are the side effects likely? Thank you very much for your insight. Merry ChristmasRon J. Lint
|
Hi Roof meds are taken after meals, especially pain meds, lesser chance for side effects ts. Empty stomach may give acidity, flatulence,cramping or diarrhea, but in very rare instances that too if precautions are not observed. Usual earning is if you are ulcer or acidity patient, these meds have to be taken under cover of pantoprazole or omeprazole 20 on empty stomach in morning, and meloxicam after breakfast and dinner

How can I control the excessive crying issue ? I ve been in a relationship for just about 2 years, everything has been fine till the last few months where I have been crying an awful lot. I cry whenever he leaves to go home and when I have to leave to go home. I cry and near about anything. Is it possible to control, if so how ? Really need help on how to stop this... :(
|
Excessive crying/being in tears constantly at each and everything MAY be a sign that you are constantly sad, a cardinal feature of Depression. There should be other features which must be assessed to say it is depression. I guess that there are certainly dynamics in the relationship (guessing from the words "he leaves to home" and "I leave for home") which are ongoing and are causing stress to you. These are what we call as "psychosocial perpetuating factors" So, if your social/functional/occupational life is being disturbed by this excessive crying, or it is causing distress to either you or your family.............then you need to seek help. My advice is to try and solve this social problem of relationship, either by yourself or with help from trusted confidants. If that can not be done, then the only option left is to have a psychiatric consult so that you can be helped by either talking therapies/medicines. Good Luck

I am a 62 1/2 year old Black Female. I tend to be very, very emotional and depressed lately. In the past three years 3 of my loved ones have passed away: my husband, my mother, and my oldest brother. Am I menopausal compounded with grief? And what are the symptoms and what can I do about it? Thanks
|
Hello, Thanks for putting your query on Chat Doctor. I can understand what you are going through, and I am sorry for losses that you have faced.It's common to feel depressed after loss of loved ones but since it is affecting your functioning treatment is required. If I had similar patient visiting my clinic I would have started her with low dose antidepressant like Escitalopram 10 mg for 6 months and then would have tapered it down slowly before stopping it. Hope I have solved your query. If you have further queried please feel free to ask.

If I fall asleep on my left side and stay there, I will wake up with left sided chest pain. This is the only way to have the pain. It hurts on the inside, not to the touch. It will last up to two hours but subside. I have already been to a cardiologist with no results. It has been happening for ten years and nothing is helping.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since your chest pain is associated with specific position (left sided sleeping), possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. No need to worry about heart diseases as your reports are normal. So apply warm water pad on affected areas. Take simple painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. Wear chest belt. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden jerky movements. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

hello doctormy daughter is suffering frm fever nd v have done the test the reports state that she has typhoid nd the ratio of widal test is 1:320 nd have been statrted on antibiotics zifi 50 dt do tht medicine is effective. nd also suggest me her diet plan . hw long does it takes to cure ths diseses.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The medications for typhoid fever need to be given for 7-10 days during which fever should subside. Following recovery from fever, other things like weakness etc. should settle in another week to 10 days. If the disease was very severe, nutritional supplements (vitamins & minerals) for about a month can help replenish the body stores. With the availability of antibiotics in this era, it has become very easy to treat typhoid, and it is not a Chat Doctor. Typhoid patients should consume soft diet for 1 week if symptoms persist then inclusion of normal diet. Here is sample meal plan for typhoid patientsThank you.

I have been having severe upper back pain, I went to an after hours clinic because it had gotten so bad, they referred me to a Neurologist he had a CT done and a nerve test done on my hand because it was also giving me alot of issues. He told me I have nerve damage in my arm and my neck has bone spurs and arthritis, but back back hurts worse in my shoulder blade area. He gave me shots in my back which helped for 3 weeks. He has reffered me to an Ortho Surgeon, I do not have heath insurance and they want $ 500.00 up front. I wonder why my pain is so severe?

Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Propably, you could be having a herniated disc in the cervical spine causing compression over the nerve roots that leads to pain in the scapular region and in the arms. The general treatment guidelines for this problem are as follows -Rest: A soft cervical collar is advisable. It should not be used for more than a week or two as it may worsen the condition with prolonged usage. Medicines: Analgesic are needed in the acute phase. Muscle relaxants are essential for relieving muscle spasms once the acute pain subsides. Neurotrophic vitamins like METHYLCOBALAMINE (activated It B12) or PREGABALIN will help in alleviating the neuropathic pain. Cervical traction: may enlarge the disc space, permitting the prolapse to subside. Intermittent cervical traction for not more than 30 minutes at a time. Weight up to 8Β kg can be added. Physiotherapy: Once the acute phase of pain has subsided, Isometric strengthening exercises of the paravertebral muscles are started. Moist heat can be useful Hope this information is helpful. Good day

Hi, The normal range of testosterone levels in healthy adult males is between 280 and 1,100 nanograms per deciliter (NG/DL), I can suggest some methods to improve your testosterone level and your sexual desire:- Lose weight.- High-intensity exercise like peak fitness (especially combined with intermittent fasting)- Consume plenty of zinc.- Strength training.- Optimize your vitamin D levels.- Reduce stress.- Limit or eliminate sugar from your diet.- Eat healthy fats.- Flax seeds increase testosterone in a men body. They also contain essential fatty acids that are necessary for maintaining libido. Flax seeds help in the proper release of all sex hormones, facilitating sexual desire. Taking one tablespoon of flaxseed every day will ensure your sexual health. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have had the same boyfriend for about 8 months now and have been consistently sexually active with him. Sometimes my vaginal area is a little sore the next day, but this time it is itchy, red and irritated and I recently felt little bumps or ridges inside my vagina. My discharge smells and looks completely normal except for when I ve tried to put itch cream on it and it gets a little thicker and whiter. My boyfriend is completely fine with no irritation at all to his genitals. We tried having sex again a day after I noticed it hurting and there was a very sharp pain when he tried to enter that nearly left me crying in pain. There is some burning during urination but I feel like that happens only if I ve recently been scratching the area. I have been having these symptoms for about 4 days now with no change and it may just be getting worse since I can t help scratching and messing with it.

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with Chat Doctor! If I were your treating Doctor for this case of this red itchy vaginal lump, I would come up with three possibilities, these include: 1. Recent fungal infection possibly carried out from skin on genital area2. Catholics cyst like benign vaginal growth/polyp getting infected!3. Vaginal infection, trauma, congestion, minor vessel injury/hematoma, polyps etc.: needs antibioticTherefore, your condition needs gynecological examination, culture, urine and PAP tests therefore kindly go for these tests and revert to swishing you best health!

Hi, Both Caver ta 50 mg and Nan oleo are only helpful for Erection problem, both did not have any role in Sperm production. If you do not have any Erection problem please avoid those tablets. Your semen count is (0.05 million/ml) is very low. You need detailed Fertility work up. Please do repeat semen analysis with minimum 3 days to max 5 days Sexual abstinence. Check your early morning fasting Serum Testosterone, Serum FSH, Serum Prolactin, Serum LH, Check for Varicocele (Scrotal Doppler scan). If any correctable problem u have correct the problem first then take the following Chat Doctor. If Everything normal take Tab. Caring (Twice daily for 3 months) and Tab.

Hello, Post-cancer rectum surgery the symptoms of sacrum pain, lower limb swelling is common. Continue the medicine advised post surgery and use stocking for lower limbs to avoid swelling. As there is a lack of venous return the stocking will provide good support to the muscular system to help improve Chat Doctor. Also, for sacrum pain, it is due to muscle weakness. I will advise doing an exercise like knee flexion-extension, ankle toe movements, bridging exercise etc. to improve the muscle physiology. As post surgery cases are advised for physiotherapy for their muscle property to be maintained I will advise doing simple exercises by which you get relief. Hope I have answered your query.

I am having pain in my right side and my lower right side of my back. I cannot stand or walk without severe pain. I went to Er, they did x rays and found nothing. gave me strong pain meds and sent me home. it went away for 3 months and now it is back. I became very nausea with it last time and am afraid I will again. Who should I see for this?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. After going through your query I think you are suffering from chronic backache. Treatment of back pain is exercises, NURSING GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (diclofenac 100mgSR). Sometimes vitamin D deficiency is the cause so get your vitamin D checked. If it is low then vitamin D supplementation (On DK 60K weekly with milk) can be taken. Avoid long continuous standing. Sit in a straight posture. Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. To further investigate MRI of the region is advised. If you are thinking to go to hospital then see an orthopedic I think your query answered. Welcome to any follow-up query.

Hello?Im a 24 year old female with no medical history or allergies whatsoever. Over the last year, my menstrual cycle has decreased in occurrence. In fact, it comes every 4 months. The first time this happened, I was terrified I was pregnant because I also began producing a sticky, yellowish clear fluid from my breasts-10 pregnancy tests (including one administered by a physician) indicated that I was not pregnant. When I do get my period, it comes with tremendous bruising on my hips, thighs and sometimes forearms. My appetite is very poor. I have had had my iron levels checked but all signs point to normality. I do not carry health insurance and simply do not have the means of diagnostic testing. Any idea what might be going on with my poor body?
|
Hi thanks for posting your query on Chat Doctor. Menstrual disturbances in your age group point to some underlying endocrine abnormality, most likely thyroid hormone disturbances. I suggest you to get screened by complete thyroid profile. Correction of thyroid abnormality can correct menstrual irregularities if any. Bruising on hips and thighs and forearms has to carefully evaluated through blood coagulation testing like BT, PT, INR. AN ULTRASOUND of the abdomen helps to visualize and detect any co-existent abnormality. Consult your gynecologist for further queries. Thank you. Take care

Hello NainaThank you for getting in touch with us. As I see, you are suffering from a grief reaction after losing your boyfriend. It is natural for anyone to have a grief reaction if they lose someone close to them. As we don't know when you lost your boyfriend, it would be tough for us to make a diagnosis. If this has carried on for more than a year, then we would recommend you to get in touch with your Doctor. You can also consult him/her if this grief reaction interferes in your day to day functioning. Hope this helped. Regards

while i was sleeping i had an enemy put a tiny electronic device used for communication purposes into my mouth, i did not swallow it nor digest it. My research has shown that because i was sleeping it may have went down the wrong hole and is not stuck into my larynx/ epiglottis. Furthermore, It has been causing me severe pain every now and then, i have recently went for an X-ray and am scared if it does not show up on the screen that my doctor will not bring me for the surgery i need to remove it. if it is indeed stuck where i think it is,(when i speak through the remote i can hear it inside me) How & is it going to be possible for me to remove it myself? please help me as it has been an ongoing burden for months now and i fear for my life as every now and then i feel jolts of electricity and know it is causing me severe brain damage. The ones that did this to me are laughing and praying for it to damage my body enough to have brain damage for the rest of my life and end up in the psychiatric ward. please help me..HOW CAN I REMOVE IT FROM MY LARNYX/ EPIGLOTTIS MYSELF?
|
Hello, thanks for your query. Any foreign body(electronic battery after ingestion, if not removed in time can cause breathlessness, lung infection, forceful breathing, I feel you do not have any foreign body according to your symptoms. For confirmation u need to do X-ray or endoscopy by an ENT surgeon. Electronic devices after ingestion with liquid medium all around will not pass any current to any part. All the best. Take care.

hello, couple weeks ago i got my 3rd tattoo on the next day i woke up and i had really fast heartbeat i had to go to the hospital cause of that i got scared cause such thing never happened to me before i felt horrible for over 10 days i got tested every possible blood test and everything was ok since then i cant finish my tattoo cause im afraid that i will have this heart attack again.. whats the cause of this situation?.. after all its my 3rd tattoo and im not allergic to the ink.
|
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms may be related to anxiety. Is your tachycardia persistent? What is your actual heart rate? What were your blood pressure values, during having a fast heartbeat? An allergy would not cause just tachycardia, but also other symptoms like skin rash, itching, low blood pressure, etc. Based on what you refer, from your repeated blood tests, an infection which could be related to tachycardia has been excluded. So there is nothing to worry about! You can continue with your tattoo. Hope to have been helpful! Greetings!

His understand your concern. Mood swings/ sadness/ lethargy/ weakness/ loss of apatite/ insomnia etc. are the symptoms of psychological stress. Detail evaluation may indicate or lead to diagnosis like depression or anxiety disorder. It can be treated with medicines like anti-depressant and antianxiety. Escitalopram, sertraline, mirtazapine etc. can help to reduce all psychological symptoms. It will elevate your mood and decrease anxiety or stress. Anxiolytic medicines like Mizoram/ clonazepam/ lorazepam can help to restore good sleep. But before that you need psychiatrist consultation for confirm diagnosis and evaluation. So consult and get help. I hope I have answered your query. Feel free to ask. Thank you.

After having sex, The next day I noticed when I had to pee it burned very badly, so I had looked in the mirror, and there was a red sore with a white center, it doesnt look blister like, or bump like,its just a little pea sized sore.? Could that just be from not lubricating enough?
|
HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor, Burning sensation after sex is due to many reasons like inadequate lubrication, infection, local injury, etc. For proper diagnosis consult your doctor. If inadequate lubrication do more foreplay, or you can use artificial lubricants. If there is infection take treatment for that. Do investigate for urine routine and micro. A swab and culture will confirm the diagnosis. Please maintain thorough perineal hygiene. Do not use local cleansers or rub vigorously, as it would deplete local vaginal flora. Thank you.

a friend has multiple tumoes on her lower right leg. She has had several of them removed, but the dontknow what they are, just say they are weird. She was born & raised in north Germany & spent 8 years ina tuberlosis hospital as a child, did all her schooling there. What does she need to do to get the Dr.s tocheck whether the tumors could be related to the tuberculosis???
|
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. But if you have some tumor then it's not due to tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is not associated with any tumor. So there must be some other cause. If you have recurrent tumors then go for biopsy and search the type of tumor and then take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Hi.thanks for sharing your problem here in this forum.Evian tablet contains vitamin E...vitamin E is an anti oxidant which means that it remove the free radicals in the body which is good for health...vitamin E also protects good fats of body...you can use it as supplement. As for as bad effects are concerned it occurs when you use it in overdose...this may cause anticoagulation(thinning of blood) but this occurs very rarely.you should take care when you are using it with aspirin as this is dangerous,,,hope you get the answer...thanks Chat Doctor.

Have Cellulitus. It has been about 9 days. There is less pain but still have squishy lump area on shin. It is not real hot. Doc put me in Doxycyclene. Why would she not have put me on lower dose clindamycin ( although they gave me a 600 mg shot intially )or axithromycin or clarithromycin. I am allergic to penicillin and the abovw are substitues..

Hello, Thank you for your queryAntibiotics are prescribed based on the type of organism that is most likely to have caused the infection and the Chat Doctor. This differs between locations and even between hospitals in the same location. Each facility has a treatment protocol. Antibiotics are prescribed based on its benefits and risks. Ideally, a culture test of the discharge from the infection or of your blood is done to identify the causative bacteria. If the infection is not subsiding and cured with the current course of antibiotic, you will need a change of antibiotics. Hope this helps. Wish you good health

The past 3 day I have been having bouts of dizziness, been doubled over with stomach pain which is around my belly button which seems to hit in waves, nausea to th point of vomitting, shakiness, hot and cold flashes and painful frequent bowel movements. I have takednn my temperature and it has gone up from 97-100 is this cause for worry??
|
Hi, Looking to the history you might be having acute gastroenteritis giving all these problems. Take antispasmodic for stomach pain and medicine for vomiting like Ogden. You might require one course of ofloxacilin medicine course for 3 days. To control frequency of motions you may take Operative for a day or two. Take plenty of water and electrolytes and keep HY Chat Doctor. Take light diet like curd, rice, buttermilk. Ok and take care.

Female, age 60, with osteopenia. I fell on hip 3 weeks ago and after about 3 days the bruise showed with little pain except to the touch. Now bruise is gone but hip has more pain with lump at the previous bruise site. Is this normal? The pain seems to be radiating from inside out. Maybe I should not have gone dancing or continued with exercise. At what point should I go to the doctor? Thanks, T. T.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion you should immediately consult orthopedic doctor and get done 1. Clinical examination of hip joint 2. X-ray of hip joint. Since you had fall 3 weeks back and having gradually increasing swelling and pain, possibility of fracture is more. So don't wait at home. Consult orthopedic doctor and rule out fracture. You may need painkiller and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

|
Hello, As your job is leading to the trouble to the knees it has got reduced joint space. Due to continuous compression of the patella over the bursa there will be swelling, pain and redness. I will advise for doing hot water fermentation and stabilize the knee joint in a knee brace. Do simple static Qua Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your query.

I am 45, have a history of migraines that have been much less frequent since stopping birth control pills. I was prescribed 50mg vyvanse for ADHD and started taking it yesterday ( at the recommended half dose.) I have had a migraine for 24 hours .... Is there a possibility the vyvanse is causing the migraine? Thanks.
|
Hi, Vyvanse is unlikely to cause migraines. Vyvanse (amphetamine derivative) commonly prescribed to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Its most common side effects include decreased appetite, insomnia, Chat Doctor. The exact cause of migraines is not known. There are certain triggers such as lack of sleep, skipping a meal, caffeine or alcohol, and being under stress, sensory stimulation like unusually bright lights, loud noises, or strong smells, hormonal changes or while on birth control pills may also cause recurring migraines. Avoid those triggers and consult your treating doctor if there is no relief. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

Hello. Three days ago I got my wisdom teeth pulled. Today, on the third day after surgery, I felt a little lump in one of the extraction holes right next to my stitches. It wasnt there the first day not that I noticed anyways and I dont remember feeling it on my second day either but I ate a sandwich very slowly and with small bites and washed my mouth out with warm salt water to get the bread pieces out but felt that bump shortly after it doesnt hurt to bad just feels kinda irritating. Is it bad? Should I go see my dentist or will it go away with time as it heals?
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The bump could be the flap which has been raised during extraction of the tooth. Slight swelling will be there following extraction. Complete the course of antibiotics and analgesics for 5 days. When you for suture removal you can take an opinion from the surgeon about the lump. Do saline gargling and keep the extraction site clean. I hope my answer will help you. Take care.

hello sir Due to accident my left hand arm injured and doctor put a Stich before 10 days and they suggested to take taking tablet Pantocid one tab every morning & Emanzen D, Augpen 625 Bid (Twice in a day) for 5 day after dosage completed i stoped. now still i am getting pain in woond place and it also may be swelling so what should do now again that tab continue or what should do suggest me sir
|
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you had a stitch 10 days before and the wound still hurts, this is a normal phenomenon of healing, and it will heal soon, for which you shouldn't get worry more. Continuing the medication by the advice of the same physician should be helpful, but I will recommend you to do quick icing around the wound area and keep it under sunlight for healing. As most wounds heal within 10-15 days of time post stitching you should keep patience to allow it to heal. With gods grace everything will be alright. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

distended, uncomfortable bellyfor the last couple months (worse in the last week) I have had a bloated, uncomfortable abdomen. it is distended. I have cramps that come and go. my bowel movements are inconsistent. sometimes they are small and hard, sometimes the strain causes small amounts of blood. when I have a bowel movement, I dont feel satisfied. nothing is helping. I drink a lot of water, eat healthy and take probiotocs. I am a 27 year old woman. I have a son that was born on 1/30/12 and i am still breastfeeding. my last menstrual cycle was in April of 2011. I am 57 and 150 pounds. I am otherwise healthy and have never had stomach problems before. I am not on birth control or taking any medication.
|
HI. The causes of the bloating and pain in abdomen with all the other problems you have told can be due to :Intestinal infection, IBS or diseases like tuberculosis. First undergo a course of an antibiotic and Metronidazole for 5 to 7 days along with probiotics you are already taking. IF there is a complete relief, nothing to worry. If there is no relief, you have to go for further investigations::Blood, urine and stool tests. Ultrasonography and CT scan colonoscopy to rule out any ulcerative lesions or cancer or tuberculosis. The investigations will lead to the diagnosis and further treatment.

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...hi. i have exteme dryness in breasts which results in itching n flakiness, skin just flakes out... i saw images on google but it is not that much extent uptil now. but it brings me to tension. can that be treated??? is it a sign of breast cancer??
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Chat Doctor. Most causes of breast itching and flaking of skin are benign. Please consult your doctor for a clinical examination and diagnosis. It is important to confirm diagnosis. If required you can also get a screening mammography done to make sure there is no sign of malignancy in the breasts. Fungal infections are common in the breast region and can cause skin flaking with itchiness. There is sweat formation in the skin under the breast and this causes a favorable condition for the fungal infection. If confirmed it can be easily treated by applying antifungal ointment for a month.

im on metoprolol for blood pressure and pac. I increased my dose from 50 mg twice per day to 75 mg twice per day last night. I noticed this morning a couple of hours after my dose that I started to feel alittle dizzy and nauseous also a little nerveous. I checked my blood pressure and it was high 150 over 106. Its never that high. didn t know if it could be from the nervousness or what.
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Increase in dose of antihypertensive can cause dizziness initially. Your high blood pressure may be due to your anxiety and nervousness. So you consult your physician and check the blood pressure again. Also set the dose of antihypertensive accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

58 yr old male. Been having a fairly constant flutter in what appears to be my upper left portion of my stomach. No pain or other gas related symptoms. It is just annoying. Usually I can even see the movement on my stomach wall. Been going on sporadically for about a month now.
|
Hi, Further details are needed to a better judgement: - does the fluttering sensation appears after eating or after doing any other physical activity?- are you also having shortness of breathe?- any other symptom (nausea, changes in bowel movements)? The constant fluttering sensation could be related to: - gastric problems (HERD, gastritis)- heart problems (arrhythmia)- neurological problemsFurther investigations are needed: - upper endoscopy-abdominal ultrasound-EKG- Holder monitoring-stress test- Ct-scan of spinal cord (thoracic and lumbar section)Hope it helped!

Hi. I can understand your concern. Possibility of bronchitis is more in your case. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is needed for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

For the passed three weeks I ve been experiencing nausea, and a week ago began to have dizzy spells, the worst being yesterday when I nearly fainted, and today where I could do nothing but lie in bed. Adding to this, I have not had my period for entire month, until today, though, today was different. A large portion left my body, it was a deep red, about the size of two pinky fingers, along with a blood flow. After this exited my body, the blood stopped and so did my dizziness. I am under the impression that this could be a miscarriage, but if so, does that explain the symptoms? I do not have a family doctor to go to, they are very difficult to get in my city, and was unable to sit and wait in a clinic due to my dizziness. I m hoping by tomorrow that it will be gone, though the nausea remains. Can someone please explain this to me and perhaps aid me in what I should?
|
Hello thanks for your query. I'm sorry you are having a tough time. It would have been easier to determine if you had a miscarriage if you mentioned the date of your last menstrual period and if you had a urine pregnancy test done at home. It's not possible to day with absolute certainty that it is miscarriage you have had though it looks like that according to the signs you mentioned. Please try these things to make you feel better.1.

For gall bladder surgery how much money is needed ........ Can anyone say this ...
|
Hello;Thanks for your query. The cost of surgery depends upon the city, hospital and the class in which you get admitted during the time of surgery. So the best person to give you the idea regarding the expenses will be the operating surgeon. First decide on the hospital and the doctor under whom you are going to get admitted, and he will tell you the cost of the treatment. Hope that answer is helpful. Thanks

Do regular aerobic exercise like running, cycling, swimming etc. 5. Avoid stress and tension, if you are having stressful life. Don't worry, your blood pressure will control with all these.
