ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | In dec I swallowed a chex mix and now eveything taste like burned chex mix. Had endoscopy Thursday to stretch stricture but doctor said no stricture that muscle is enlarged. Did biopsy on two red spots and said I may have bacteria.... He will go over barium swallow tuesday today have had vomiting 8 times and diarrhea 7 times. I have one kidney due to donation I. 2005. Could this be virus or gall bladder? Thank you | Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor.First I appreciate you for kidney donation. Vomiting may be due to endoscopy which has dilated the sphincter and the reflex mechanism. If you have fever or pain abdomen with vomiting and diarrhea, then that may be due to infection. Please let me about diarrhea (consistency, color, any blood or mucous, foul smelling etc.). If no other problem it may be due to response to the endoscopy. Get done USG abdomen once.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My spouse has bumps in on her tongue, there is one on each side of her tongue close to her tonsils. They are raised and she says she feels as if her throat is closing up. I also think I have thrush, although I am not sure because when I just used tooth paste and mouth wash to clean my tongue it disappeared. HIV? | Hi. Thanks for the query. Raised bumps at the back of tongue appears to be swollen circumvallate papillae that can be due to throat Infection, oral Infection, burning with hot foods or chemicals, acid reflux etc. In case if she has white coating on her tongue then it can be probably oral thrush, and it can also be a potent cause for inflamed papillae. Do not worry, she should start gargling with warm saline solution. If there is pain she can gargle with numbing mouth wash containing Lidocaine. Use specialized mouthwash like Magic mouthwash to gargle. If there is no improvement in a week consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated. Hope this helps. Regards. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello, I m 35 yr old female healthy no past health problems. I was sick with the flu this past Tuesday vomitting liquid diarrhea until the next day, wednesday. Then, Thurs. And Friday and saturday horrible stomach cramps Especially when I layed down. Tear jerking. I went to the local immediate care. They didn t know why my stomach was cramping. I called my locaL pharmacist she said it is common after flu to have acid in stomach and gassy. I took a pepsid and gas x ..I m much better. I own my own tok an enima because I had not been to bathroom no. Two since wednesday and its now Saturday. But now this morning I noticed on the left lower side of my abdomen near pelvis it s higher than right siz by half inch to an inch it like a roundish knot kinda. It doesn t hurt to touch But it just appeared I can tell a cinch when walking something is wrong. Help, what s wrong with me. | Hi ! Your flu and the diarrhea with abdominal cramps may or may not be related. In case of child Chat Doctor. The first diagnosis comes to the mind is a food poisoning. Possibly you did not receive proper complete treatment for it and this led to more severe cramps in your abdomen. You did not mention anything about fever. If it was there, then it goes more in favor of infection in the intestines. There is no harm in taking antacid and antiflatulents, but I am not in favor of your taking enema. After any loose motions, it is but natural that the bowel becomes empty, and it takes time for the bowel to get loaded with fecal matter to get the urge of passing stool again. Also, without knowing the exact cause of the cramps in your abdomen which could be any surgical cause like diverticulitis, one should not opt for an anemia. It is difficult to tell whether the swelling on the left side of your lower abdomen is due simple inflammation with mass formation or a leaking diverticulitis precipitated by self enema by yourself. In my opinion, you should consult at your earliest a general surgeon, who may advise some routine investigations for you apart from going for an ultrasound / CT scan depending on the initial examination findings. One more possibility of the swelling is left sided inguinal hernia, but your history does not go much in favor of it. Anyways I think it is time for you to see your general surgeon and seek his advice. Good luck. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Yes I m 38 weeks pregnant n I been constipated through out my pregnancy but just got out the shower n I felt balls around my anus when I washed so I went n looked at it n there are two white balls sticking out my anus n a large purple discolored circle on my crack u can only see it if I open it no pain and I m more worried about the white bumps | Hello, and I hope I can help you today. The most likely explanation for the bumps in your anal area that you have noticed recently, is the development of external hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are veins in and around the anus that become dilated from the pressure of your uterus and the babies head pushing downwards, especially when you try to move your bowels. The white bumps that you see are most likely hemorrhoids that have not become swollen with blood. The blue one that you see, more likely is closer to the surface, where the blood can be visible through the wall of the vein. As long as your anus does not itch, or that you don't have any bleeding from the area, there is nothing danger about hemorrhoids. They will generally resolve after delivery. I would ask your obstetrician to take a look at them the next time you have an appointment. In the meantime, taking site baths, which is soaking your rear end in a warm top filled with about 6 inches of water for 20 to 30 minutes, can decrease the swelling. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes for the rest of the pregnancy, and I hope you feel better, |

The use of an anti-inflammatory painkiller and anti histamine may help with discomfort and itching that you are experiencing.

My doctor mentioned it is just a coldand you will be o.k. prescribed cough sirup which has been of no use. I started taking advair yesterday. Please advise which specialist I must see and how long it is going to take before my coughing stops.Thanks, John | Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. You are having chronic cough. Chronic cough in old age with co morbid condition like CLL must be investigated thoroughly. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done1. Clinical examination of respiratory system. 2. Chest x-ray. 3. PUT (pulmonary function test). 4. CT thorax if required. Following are the possibilities in your case. 1. Lung infection2. Bronchitis3. Metastatic spread in lungs. So chest x-ray and CT are needed to rule out infection and metastatic spread.

Ive been feeling really strong movements in my stomach most of the day, and Im not sure if Im late on my period yet. I havent gained any weight according to the scale, but my stomach looks like it got bigger too. Ive taken 4 pregnancy tests on my own, that came back negative. And had negative results at the ER. Could I still be pregnant? If not, what is this caused from? | Hi. This shows that you are not really pregnant. This may be due to a condition called - Pseudocyesis : Means there is no actual pregnancy, but the patient gets all the signs and symptoms. This is confirmed by a negative ultrasonography. He is patient who has the extreme desire of having Motherhood again develops this sort of problem. No one really knows the reason and the exact mechanism by which this happens.

It also is painful to stand up straight sometimes or moving torso in certain directions. Is it a cyst or is it a muscle that is sprained? | Hi, Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related both to a cyst or a strangled muscle. That is why I would recommend consulting with your family doctor for a physical check up and some tests: - a hip X-ray study-complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate for inflammation.- a lumbar column X-ray study. An ultrasound of the region would be helpful in case of soft tissue lesions, which are better identified through the ultrasound. Hope to have been helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Apart from medicines, you can do some hot fomentation two to three times a day for relief. It is usually caused by touching of the eye with dirty hands or when there is water in eyes.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am 30yrs of age, I live in Abuja(Nigeria) where malaria is the most common form of illness. In 2012 a test was carried out on my blood and I was told that a ring form of plasmodium was found and my sugar level was ok, in early 2013 a similar test was also carried out and I was told tis time that I was affected with malaria and thyphoid, but did not suffer from much of malaria symptoms and I belive thats because i am 0+ and genotype AA. normally after these tests I am always administered with some antimalarial drugs andother relvant prescritions but because of the nature of my job, I am sometimes not frequent in taking them. secondly I am not sure the malaria issue has been properly handled as I still feel a burning sensation under some part of my skin anytime I fast up till 10am and I sometimes experience weakness in my body especially in my legs, this (slight abnormal weakness of the limbs) was worse when I was less than 16yrs of age. then I used to get tired of standing after like 5 to 10minutes. Another issue I really did suffer from since childhood is memory failure. some times like five years ago. pls doctors what should I do? | Dear, I can understand the distress you're suffering from. Here, as I can figure it out, you are having two complaints1) Pain or weakness in legs, more so when after prolonged standing.2) memory problem well, as far the problem of malaria goes, which you mention to have had in 2013 a year back, I suggest you get a complete mammogram test now to check if the problem of malaria still persist. Similarly, get typhoid antibodies tire check by doing Tidal test. This will rule out the possibility of the above two infections. For your problem of leg pain, there could be various reason. It well could be a sequel of these infections, as any illness follows with period of weakness for few weeks at least. Or it could be an independent neurological condition. However, if the pain in legs is very troublesome to an extent where it prevents you from doing your daily routine activities, I strongly suggest you to consult a neurologist. This complaint I your warrant a proper physical examination. For your worry of memory it again requires a battery of question and a details history, which could be possible in personal examination. Hope to have helped you with your query. Thank you. Stay healthy. |

The last 6 weeks she had a small bump on her head it got a little bigger, we thought it was a cyst and so did her doctor. She went to a demacologist last week had a byopsy and they say its cancer, its from the esophageal cancer...What does that mean? It spread? Can she make it? | Hi, Thanks for writing in. Cancer is a difficult condition to treat, and its progress cannot be predicted. The treatment changes with response to therapy and the appearance of any clinical sign including lump anywhere in the body during recovery must not be ignored. As there is biopsy proven cancer in the bump on her head, it looks like the cancer has spread to that area. Please get a full body PET CT scan done to know if the cancer has spread to other areas as well. As the cancer has spread to the head region therefore presently she has stage 4 cancer and in this situation the survival is on an average 6 months to 2 years though few people with this problem can survive for a longer duration if treatment is started at the earliest and the cancer spread can be controlled. Please consult her oncologist and have a detailed discussion and investigation to assess her situation completely and provide adequate treatment. |

This morning there was a brown discharge & im sort of cramping. Does this mean im not pregnant and my cycle is coming on ? | Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the symptoms of pregnancy like nausea, vomitings, increased urination, sore breasts start 2 weeks after missed period. The first sign is missed period. Any brown discharge or spotting before the expected period date might be due to period. Anyway if the period is missed consider testing by a urine pregnancy test after a week of missed period for accurate results.However, it is too early to feel any pregnancy symptoms, and mostly it might be period.

It immediately swelled and I just iced it daily until it felt better. I have a bad habit of sitting with my legs bent to the side and I get severe pain when I try to straighten out the knee I injured. What could be wrong ? | Hello, I have studied your case. As per your age and history there is possibility of soft tissue injury in knee. Most commonly meniscus injury occurs may be associated collateral ligament injury. You may need to do MRI knee to see for any functional defect. As per your symptoms you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion. Rest and ice fomentation along with supportive brace will help to reduce locking episode and pain. Small meniscus tear can be managed conservatively with physiotherapy with USG and TENS. Large meniscus injury can be managed by arthroscopic repair. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us.

Pain and fever have subsided but I still have the mucus discharge. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. No it is not normal to have mucus discharge from anus. You need to evaluate this. Since you had prostate cancer treated with radiation and diverticulitis, possibility of internal disease is more. So you should consult gastroenterologist and get done 1.

Six last Sat, five yesterday and after the extractions I immediately inserted my brand new smile :) The dentures fit and I promised my husband (and dentist!) that I would never complain... just so happy to have my smile back. I had been taking oxycodone for many years due to numerous issues from a gastric bypass (my body wasn t absorbing enough nutrients) as well as complications from chemo. I am 55yrs old. I never had a problem with opiates. My doctor retired (poor man had colon cancer). I live in CA and everybody swears by marijuana. Not for me. So for the last 8 months my G.P. has me taking suboxone 8mg and 800-2400mg of Ibuprophen. I have apt w/G.P. tomorrow he has always been very difficult when it comes to writing prescriptions. Just asking for an antibiotic has been like pulling teeth....! So, my question is.... can I stop the suboxone today and take an opiate tomorrow for a few days and then go back to the suboxone? My dentist wrote a prescription for tramadol?? But the pharmacy said the insurance company denied it. Are there ant other STRONG pain medications out there that I m not aware of? It hurts so badly and I am a bit nervous because my next issue is foot surgery. I have always had a very high tolerance to medications. The anesthesiologist at Mt. Sinai had to give me 3 injections of ?? to put me out before my mastectomy! I sound like a cry baby, but it really hurts! The dentist said it should take about a week to heal. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! | Hello, This would have to be done by a physician of course. The blocker in Suboxone is short-acting and 2 days at the very most (and more likely 12 hrs) would be enough to get the blocker out of the system. The Suboxone is still there. It is a strong narcotic. It often helps the pain. The first thing which you may have already done is to go with a heavy dose of anti-inflammatories since this does not interact with the Suboxone and is a strong pain reliever for dental pain. The Suboxone could be stopped BUT anyone on Suboxone is a high risk of having addiction problems when not on it. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

The stones are in both left & right kidneys and are rather large, without the stints the pain can be unbareable. what can I do. | Hi, Thanks for writing in. Your doctor is giving you the right treatment for kidney stones. Usual treatment for kidney stones is breaking big stones into smaller parts and allowing that to come out through stents. If the stones are large then they have to be taken out by surgical methods. It is best you get a CT scan plain PUB done to know the exact size and number of stones. This will help your doctor to give you the best treatment in this situation. Chat Doctor. Regarding stents, the decision of your urologist must be accepted and if there is any complication stents can be removed or might require reposition. |

They do not hurt. the tops of my shoulders however are very painful...like I got hit. The only thing I can think of about the blotches is I had shrimp at a restaurant last night. I ve never had a reaction to shrimp or seafood before. I am 56 male, 165 lbs | Hello, Shrimp allergy is likely only of your SY, ptoms started within the hour of eating the food (and also they do not last that long). However, foods like shellfish do have a lot of histamine and can release even more histamine if you are prone for urticaria. You can get a skin prick test for seafood (must be off all antihistamines) and is likely to be negative. What you are having is urticaria, when mast cells on skin release histamine and can be occasionally triggered by histamine-rich foods. See your doctor for a prescription of long-acting antihistamines like fexofenadine 180Β mg AM 90,g PM plus/minus cetirizine 10Β mg at such time. |

I am 80 years old and have osteoporosis with several compression fractures (all of which I have had fixed) so why is my back hurting so bad? I had a an x-ray several days ago and they did not find any more fractures but my back continues to hurt. | Hello, The reason for back pain may be vertebral metastasis, and it may not be picked up on x-rays in early cases. MRI of the Dorso-lumbar spine needs to be done for early diagnosis as it is very sensitive and specific for vertebral metastasis. You said your back is fixed. Are there any metal implants? If yes, then you need to check for MRI compatibility. Meanwhile, take rest and apply diclofenac gel on the affected area. Please visit an orthopedic spine specialist with MRI report.

She needs a primary care doctor but no insurance, use county facilities which give her the run around and frustration.Well we are both currently unemployed with no income.

Increased heart rate & palpitations can have a lot of causes. It can be normal sinus tachycardia due to anxiety or stress, or it could be abnormal supra ventricular tachycardia. For the diagnosis, you need to do ECG at the time of palpitation & tachycardia. If the duration of palpitations are short enough to reach a nearby hospital, we put a 24hr ECG monitoring (Holder Monitor). You also need to do a 2D Echo & thyroid function test to see for any associated abnormality if any. Infection & fever can also increase the heart rate. Thanks |

COPD treatment needs following things to be done simultaneously. 1. Quit smoking if habit is there.2. Inhaled bronchodilators having long acting beta 2 agonist and corticosteroids. 3.

I will explain to you how a viral illness behaves so that you can be more confident. Fever of a few days 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 two fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably a viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once the viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days.

She is not crawling yet and only rolls over onto her side. She does not roll to an object. Her eyes move back and forth almost constantly. She has no control over them. She can t seem to hold her head straight, it leans to the right. What could this be? Her mother may have taken the morning after pill but the baby is here. What could this cause? | There are many reasons of developmental delay. Preterm with could be an important cause. Other causes could include lack of oxygen during or soon after birth or could be due to certain genetic syn Chat Doctor. The taking of morning-after pill is not likely to be associated. The cause needs to be evaluated and irrespective of the cause, early detection and early intervention of developmental delay improves the outcome grossly. I would suggest that you visit a center for child development without delay and get the child evaluated. Treatment will consist of appropriate developmental support to stimulate the developmental milestones one after the other. Cognitive support might also be required. |

THE PAIN COMES AND GOES AND ONLY HAD IT FOR LIKE 2/3 DAYS NOW.. NO SIGNS FOR A HERNIA BUMP...???? IDEAS???? OR GO TO DOC S??? | Hi there Thanks for your question at Chat Doctor Groin pain is most commonly associated with strain of the muscles, ligaments, or tendons present in that area. This is more likely if the onset of your pain is associated with any injury which happened while playing, or after you slipped or twisted. Such pain would usually respond over 2 to 3 days to rest, painkiller medicines and ice applicationAnother common cause of groin pain is an inguinal hernia. An inguinal hernia occurs when internal tissues push through a weak spot in the groin muscles. This can create a bulging lump in your groin area and cause pain. Kidney stones (small, hard mineral deposits in the kidneys and bladder) or bone fractures can cause groin pain as well. On the other hand if you have been having pain for more than week, and it has not responded to the above measures then other cause of one-sided groin pain have to be considered. These include urinary tract infection, any inflammation in ovaries (in females) and testes (in males), intestinal inflammation, hip joint related pain etc. Groin pain due to pinched nerve in the spine is relatively uncommon and is usually associated with involvement at higher spinal levels mainly L2/3/4 levels. An L4/5 and L5/S1 problem is less likely to be associated with groin pain. At present there is not enough evidence to say that your L5/S1 disc is the reason for you groin pain. I would suggest you to see an orthopedic surgeon, so that any lesion around the hip area can be ruled out and once that is done other less common cause can be ruled out in a step wise manner based on your response. Hope this helps the Beauregard Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hurt my back in a fall in 2001. Muscle injury was said to be the cause of my pain. Spine has been checked and is not the problem. Pain is very bad, can not work very much if at all. Tried massage, many physio places, chiro,trigger point needling,acupuncture,reflexology among other things. Taking oxyneo 10 mg2x a day,oxycocet as needed0-2/day Best in the mornings and gets worse with walking,sitting,bending,twisting and movement that I use hips or lower back. Any ideas? | Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As you had injury of spine in 2001, this could have made the muscle weaker. As too many therapies you have undergone and all have different principles of application. Massage - this will produce vasodilation and reduce pain but even weaken the muscles. Chiropractor - this will help to unlock the facet joint and reduce the joint induce pain without strengthening the muscular system.etc. etc. therapies have their effect. Physical therapy, now you need a proper neuromuscular assessment with focused on the spinal injury and then a proper rehabilitation plan should be implemented. Usually in my clinical practice we do get chronic pain of spine cases but with proper implementation and long term planning of the various areas to strengthen have helped our patients to better comfort. I will advise to find a spine specialist physical therapist who can. Reassess the spine and provide the best outcome to your overall body strength. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor. |

Over the next couple of days, my finger is numb and I m unable to feel with that finger. It seems like those dots are on four of my fingers on my right hand and one on my left hand. Could it be the dye that cause it? If not, what could be the cause? How could I cleanse it? | Hello, Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern I went through your query, and I feel, There are at least a dozen different chemicals in hair dye that can cause a severe allergic reaction The chemical P-phenylenediamine (or PPD) is used to ensure the color you use stays bright and shiny through several washings. However, it has also been shown to cause skin blistering, burning, and rash. The color of dye on the fingers will fade with time, or you need to check the package of the dye to see if it has instructions on that. I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision-making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back. Thanks. |

I am taking a lot of medicines for blood pressure and chest pain. Please advise what to do?. | Hello! Thank your for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to irreversible changes in the retinal artery, causing troubles with the vision. Coming to this point, a better control of blood pressure values would help stop the progression of these changes. You should also know that with such blood pressure values, you are at an increased risk for stroke, heart attack or intracranial bleeding. So, I would recommend discussing with your doctor on the possibility of optimizing your current antihypertensive therapy. Some blood tests are needed to exclude secondary causes of uncontrolled high blood pressure: - complete blood count for anemia-thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid dysfunction- blood electrolytes for electrolyte imbalance - kidney and liver function tests - fasting glucose and HbA1C. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues! Kind regards, |

Based on the history you seem to be suffering from occipital neuralgia for which your doctor has prescribed neurons. Neurons (methylcobalamin) is a form of Vitamin B-12 commonly prescribed to treat peripheral neuritis associated with Vitamin B-12 deficiency. Continue taking it as prescribed. If you do not get relief I would suggest over the counter anti-inflammatory medication such like ibuprofen along with pregabalin tablet. Physical therapy or massage therapy would also be beneficial in such cases. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

Expired medicine cause more harm and reactions to your body. Continue with the ibuprofen for the pain.

Regarding your concern, I would explain that it is not a rare finding when chronic limbs' edema complicates with skin irritation and superimposed infection. Besides the advices given by dermatologist, I would recommend to promptly treat the predisposing substrate; that is edema (it leads to inadequate blood circulation to the surface tissues, predisposing to more readily skin inflammation). I would recommend adjusting CHF therapy; especially loop diuretics. At least an intravenous root of administration would be preferred, to decrease congestion as soon a possible, and an appropriate oral maintenance dose should follow. A comprehensive clinical evaluation; physical examination, coupled with cardiac ultrasound conclusions, liver and renal function tests, blood electrolytes, chest X-rays would better guide optimization of CHF therapy. You need to discuss with his cardiologist to review these data and make the best decision. Hope to have been helpful. Greetings! |

Mentally she has declined- not wanting to take medication and thinks she has to pee all the time. Her communication has declined, she cries all the time and hits her nurses. | Hi, Whatever symptoms you have described, it looks like she is in encephalopathy, for which she might be hospitalized for further management and check her blood parameters like renal function and electrolytes which are usually deranged and there are chances of getting infection too. If there is any abnormality better to correct to regain her conscious levels. And about pee, that will be because of diuretics which your doctor might have prescribed. So starting with encephalopathy measures like adding cephalic spy 30 ml twice or thrice a day so that she should pass stools at least 2 to 3 times per day if not consider giving her cephalic enema. Tab RIGHT 550 MG twice a day for at least 15 days should be given as this is an intestinal antibiotic with no side effects. Avoid NSAIDs.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi doctor, I have been suffering from severe stomach pain which I think is trapped wind. I keep fit by running, and sometimes these cramps get so bad I cant run. It takes a long time for the wind to pass, is there anything I can do to sort this out. I am booked in for an abdomen scan in May but in the meantime this is happenning more regularly. | Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Your description is so vague that we can't come to a conclusion. First you should try to locate the pain, if it is in the upper abdomen it may be gastric, hepatic, or pancreatic, if in the middle part may be due to worms, or renal, if in the lower part, urinary tract infection, pro Lithuania, illocal tuberculosis, chronic appendicitis, etc. Meiosis or internal herniation could also be possible. If you can localize the pain you can have a temporary relief in the meantime. You can use anti spasmodic for relief of pain in the meanwhile. I advise you to consult a physician for relief of pain till you are confirmed of the origin of pain. Wishing for a quick recovery, and thanks for calling. Best regards. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, I slipped on wet seaweed and fell down concrete steps yesterday. I fell on my back and side. My back is very tender (I have back problems) but my left side is very bruised and my ribs just below my breast are agony when I breathe deeply or sneeze etc. I can t lie down as it s too painful so am sleeping upright on the sofa but the thing that I don t understand is that my feet and ankles are swollen - why would this be? | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. After going through your query I think You are suffering from acute backache after injury. Treatment of it is rest and analgesics. Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective. Sometimes strong analgesic(such as attract three times a day after meals) is required. OMEPRAZOLE before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics. You can discuss with your treating Doctor. There are two possibility, one is simple muscle injury, second is possibility of rib fracture. To further investigate chest x-ray and MRI of the region is advised. Your feet and ankle are also swollen. It may be due to prolonged upright position has made feet and ankle dependent leading to edema. However, you should check your circulatory system checked if swelling is consistent even on lying down. I think your query answered. Welcome to any follow-up query. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I had an MRI and the laundry list is crazy. I have 2 bulging discs, a tear, stinnosis, two of my vertabrae have shifted, 2 different types of arthritis,degenerative disease. I went through injections and adjustments. No help.my leftbside especially my knee and leg feel like dead weight. I am in constant pain. Any ideas? Please, I am desperate. | Hello MRI findings may suggest degenerative changes in cervical spine. Degenerative changes are generally age related findings. It is due to chronic stress on annulus fibrosis. Degenerative disc disease is indicated by bulged disc at two levels and stenosis of neural canal. Majority of degenerative disc disease patients are benefited by conservative treatment in the form of physiotherapy, analgesics and muscle relaxants. Surgery is advised in non responding cases. Physiotherapy helps in strengthening of para spinal muscles, and it prevents further changes. Your findings also suggest two types of arthritis. You may need definitive treatment for arthritis depending upon type of arthritis. Generally arthritis need lifelong treatment. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I m wondering if any of you may know what would cause a dent/valley in a quad muscle (not natural muscle shape)? I have a 3-4 inch long (horizonal across the left quad) and about an inch wide dip that has recently shown up on my leg. I have never injured the leg, or severly strained the muscle. It has never shown any pain, nor have I lost any strength in it. You can see the dent while standing...and it can drastically be felt when running a hand down the leg. It is about 1/3rd of the way down the quad from the hip. I ve done a lot of research on this online, found about 20 other people with the same problem...but those that have gone to the doctor about it have all heard that they have never seen it before as a response. I m pretty fit, not at all over weight, so I don t think that is it at all...I m really perplexed by this and wonder if anyone else has heard/see this before? It almost looks like the muscle has been cut in half for a visual. Again...I ve NEVER injured this muscle in the past. | Hello, I have studied your case. I would like to give differential diagnosis for your symptoms and history. There is possibility of Deep vein thrombosis leading to leg hardness. Ultrasonography/color Doppler leg will help to rule pathology leading to pain like deep vein thrombosis. Another possibility of nerve compression leading to pain and numbness in leg and back side of knee. I will advise you MRI spine to see for any nerve compression. If required you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care. |

I have had mri of my back, rib along with xrays and ct scan and everything comes back normal. any ideas | Hi, I understand your concern. Tremors in your hands associated with a feeling of cold water running through your veins should be related to any metabolic issues you might be facing as long as MRI of the back was normal. Further, tests recommended determining the right diagnosis including:- Thyroid/kidney/liver function tests-complete blood count to rule out anemia-monitor your blood pressure and blood sugar levels everything is ok, then, anxiety episodes should be further evaluated by neurologist and psychiatrist.

I have been sitting down now for around so an hour and my heart beat is still thatis this bad? | Hello. Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Alcohol intake is tolerated variously by various individual organisms. In most cases, almost always, it produces a marked widening of the vascular bed (vasodilation), which, in turn, activates a complicated response in the body, which results, among others, to "speeding up" the heart rate. My opinion is that, if this heart rate is regular, then there is nothing to worry about. To some extent, this happens to anyone who consumes alcohol in a certain amount, whether you get Chat Doctor.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My sister has got Typhoid of type H 1:80 and type 0 1:160. She was treated in the hospital for 4 days . Now she has been discharged . But my query is how many days would it take for her to be completely alright ? Also after 15 days we plan to go to my uncles place where my 2 year old cousin stays . Is it safe for my cousin if my sis stays with them after 15 days ? | Dear Friend. Welcome to Chat Doctor. Hi, I am Chat Doctor, I have read your query in detail, I understand your concern. We usually treat typhoid fever for 7 days. In very severe cases we treat up to 14 days. Since she was admitted and treated in hospital, so I suppose that she must have received injectables for treatment of typhoid. If her fever has subsided, and she is feeling well, there is nothing to worry. She can go and play happily with your 2-year-old cousin, no issues in that :-) This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am between 15 and 16 weeks pregnant and went to the ER for intermediate chest pains and tightness. The d-dimer blood test came back positive, slightly elevated. I did not want to undergo a CT scan with contrast but the doctor urged me to get it done to rule out a PE. We argued for awhile before I consented due to the risk of a blood clot In the lung. He assured me the baby would be fine and that the exposure to radiation is about the same as a cross country flight. He also stated the contrast does not pass the placenta. Research online has lead me to panic....I cannot verify his statements. The CT scan revealed that I do not have a clot in the lung. Can you please shed some light on this? Thank you. | Hi, CT scan of chest is not in the area of pregnant uterus to cause direct harm by the rays and the contrast does not cross the placenta. There is a very minimal 1/185000 chance of increase risk of cancer to the child, which I feel is very small compared to the need of the CT. As when we suspect pulmonary embolism in pregnancy a proper diagnosis by CT could be life-saving for mother and fetus. Hope this helps. Regards. |

A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As you feel on the right side of the body pains, it could be related to either a systemic issue or may be neuropathic issue. Getting a thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised post which some simple medication can help further in the recovery. Also, as the body ages, there leads to abundant symptoms which are most of the time due to slow metabolism. Performing regular exercises like general body conditioning should help improve the physical and functional status of your body and get rid of pain and aches. In my clinical practice Certain patient doesn't have any in particular diagnosis but still have this kind of symptoms. I recommend them general body conditioning exercises which has given a majority of difference in their physical and functional status. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor. |
