So please tell us the required for it and which medicine should be taken .....as it is a long period i don t know why she is still having pain even after continuous treatment of 8 Months...pleasewe need help | Herpes is a viral infection and responds well to anti-viral medications like acyclovir, both tablets and cream can be used. However, the diagnosis can only be posed by a qualified medical personal. I will advise you take her back to the Doctor to reevaluate her. In the meantime, you can get over-the counter-pain medication like ibuprofen for her to take but not for long. Some of these infections persist in people with weak immune systems. Age happens to be one of the factors that weaken the immune system. I will advise she gets on very healthy diet too during her recovery period. Hope my answer will help you Best regards |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello Doctor,Namaste.. I have 1 year 3 months old boy..he is not feeling hungry..when i met my child specialist,he had given a syrup for increasing appetite..the name for the same is CYP-L. Is it good for giving sir? as my brother is saying ,if its became habituate then we need to continue for long time ..if we stop giving drops then will he stop to feel hungry..pls let me know sir. and is there anything bad to give this kind of syrups for babies? Kindly help me out from this problem as i am feeling v.v.bad for my son. | Hello. Thanks for your query. I would suggest you some funny way to make the meal more loving for your baby. Taking syrups for too long will make the baby addicted to this. You could try to make some finger food and let the baby to self feed. Also, you can take your baby on your lap and eat from the same plate. That's because babies love to copy, and they do exactly as you do. Another way is to take the baby with you in the kitchen and try to cook together. This way he will be more motivated to eat. |

After my last check, my dr put me on prednisone for 14 days (currently on), and he also mentioned doing a bone marrow biopsy. Should I be worried? Is the biopsy necessary in this case? Other than the blood tests I have no symptoms of anything being wrong. | Hello, THX to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that biopsy is necessary in your case to diagnose which causes fall in the platelets and WBC. Any cause which causes fluctuation in the platelets and WBC for about a year requires a biopsy to rule out the cause. Many a time autoantibody is present against the megakaryocytes, which may cause fluctuation in platelets and WBC this cases is ruled out by the biopsy.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I went to the dentist for a toothache and thought it might be a problem with my gums right near the tooth, so my dentist said it might be the root surface so he put something on my tooth and gum, and it was not the problem. Once I left the dentist office my mouth hurt 10 times worse and noticed a long white welt on my gum like inside my cheek but towards the bottom of the tooh. It is so painful I can t eat or even talk right. My cheek and where the welt is is so swollen. What can I do for this for the pain to go away and the welt to go away? And what did the dentist put on my gums to make this happen? It feels like a burn of some sort.. Think that s the only way you can get a welt. | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, i would like to inform you that the white patch which has developed on the cheek and the gum is most probably from the medicine applied on your tooth, I cannot assure if it's a burn until checked clinically.I do not know the reason behind the pain in your tooth, is it caries(decay) or due to infection in the gums. I recommend you to use an antibacterial mouth rinse(twice/day) for 5 days, also, you can apply Dologel-CT over the soft tissue which is sore(apply with finger, massage it for 1 minute and leave it for half an hour). For the toothache you will have to see your dentist as he/she might prescribe antibiotics and painkillers.I hope I answered your query, i wish you good health. |

When I floss/use teepee brushes between certain teeth its very painful and it bleeds. My right side of my face is slightly swollen and the area just under my jawbone is slightly swollen and tender. Ive had this problem for over a year now and lately i have just noticed it more. I think it might be an infection because your glands can get swollen with that cant they? Ive been feeling sick on occasions aswell and yesterday when I woke up, I felt awful and my temperature went from 37 celsius up to 38.60 celsius. I felt better next day, but still feel a bit sick. Could this be a tooth infection? | Hello. As you said several times after x-rays dentist denied for any tooth infection. So you should believe that it can't be tooth infection. You may need scaling if gingival bleeding is due to calculus. If not have check up for blood reports once by consulting physician. For swelling on side of your face you can go for orthopentomogram, X-ray of whole face.to get more idea on condition. You can consult back for further queries. With you good health. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I got punched in the face about 5 days ago. It was an uppercut to the jaw on the left side. It wasnt until yesterday that i noticed any clicking but i felt no pain. The only time that i would feel it is when i would move my jaw side to side. I just woke up now and it hurts a bit but nothing absolutely unbearable. When i open my jaw wide i can feel a slight shift on my right side. It also hurts now to open wide. | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain and deviation of the jaw, limited mouth opening can be because of two reasons. The first could be because of the disc displacement in the jaw joint secondary to the punch on the face. The other possible cause can be a fracture in the mandible. So consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. You need to take a radiograph like OPG to confirm the diagnosis. Later it can be treated accordingly. Till then, do not open your jaw too wide, take soft diet. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |

Thank you, Alison | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you were diagnosed to have Lyme disease which is an infectious disease caused by Cordelia bacteria, and it is a tick borne disease transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks. The symptoms are suggestive of the Lyme disease. I would suggest oral doxycycline, if you have taken this and if there is resistant to this you can take either cefuroxime or azithromycin. These medications should be taken for at least one to four weeks. You need a few tests including labs to check his kidney function and an ultrasound of the kidney area and a urine culture to rule out an infection. I think the best way to do this would be to go the primary doctor again and tell him or her the new symptoms. Thank you. |

Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would after a clinical assessment of your abdomen advise you for an ultrasound of abdomen to know the status of your gall bladder and other organs of the abdomen. Local tenderness (pan on pressure) points to inflammation of the internal layer of the abdomen near the affected organ, which has to be dealt with at the earliest. Therefore, I would suggest you to visit the ER of your nearest hospital to have a clinical assessment and related investigations for further management. Till then, you could go for an anti-spasmodic and a proton pump inhibitor Chat Doctor. 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.

I tried Lymecycline a couple of years ago and multiple creams for acne in the past.I have a history of mental health problems. I have a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome, OCD, anxiety, and depression. My anxiety levels have been chronic for many years due to the severity of my obsessive thoughts and compulsions etc. I think that my poor mental state has impacted on my health. I have had severe skin problems since I was about 17 or so. I get huge cysts that often recur in the same place with large boils. I have some large permanent cysts. I seem to break out at certain times.I also have a condition known as a functional neurological disorder. I will be seeing a neurologist here in the at a movement disorders clinic to deal with this in the near future. I also developed eyelash ptosis, where my eyelash in my right eye keeps growing long. My Ophthalmologist told me that it needs to be trimmed regularly with scissors or that I have to use curlers, as it can impair my visual field. The neurological or psychological aspects may be affecting my other conditions.I have had athlete\s foot for the past year. Due to my mental or neurological problems and depression, I have been housebound for most of the last year. I tend not to shower much or brush my teeth due to this (but I am trying to change my life with the help and change this). I walk around in my bare feet in the house most of the time, and when I do go out, I tend to wear crocs.The athlete\s foot has become more itchy or burning recently. Also, for the past year or two, I have two fungal nails. My big toes on both feet are very yellow looking at the front of the pins (I have ingrown nails in the past). What I am concerned about is my fingernail.I do not know how I did this? About two weeks ago, I noticed that my middle finger on my right hand was very painful when I touched it. I cannot remember if I pulled the nail, and this has caused some infection, or if it is related in some way to the fungal nail infections on my toes or my athlete\s foot.I will show you some pictures, and I would like your advice on what to do next. Due to my mental state, I have not taken good care of my body, but I am trying to address this.My athlete\s foot is entirely wrong. If I start treating this with cream, I am likely to see an improvement. Also, what can I do about the fungal nails? I also have a pilonidal cyst on my tailbone. It was initially very painful to sit down (I am overweight, spend a lot of time sitting at my desk, etc.). This cyst is intermittent, but there are times when it can be very itchy. As you can see, I am not in the best shape, but I am trying to address both my mental health and my physical health by starting to take better care of myself, eat better, exercise, etc.The main concern is the fingernail. Do I have an infection? Can it be serious to blood flow/losing limbs, or is this my anxiety and the things I\ve read on Google. I am quite concerned. I cannot see a doctor for another week or two. I have had this fingernail problem for about two weeks, and it is very sore and very red. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I have gone through your case and all treatments which you have taken so far. It is good that you have explained all your medical history as every doctor should know it in detail. However, your finger infection is not related to history. It is a new event. Regarding your finger, you need nothing to worry as it is an infection of the skin, and your finger will not go away. In my opinion, this is not a fungal infection. It is a bacterial infection. I can very well understand that it must be very painful for you as it is entirely red. You need some oral medication for its treatment. 1. Take capsule Amoxil 500 mg three times a day for seven days. 2. Take tablet Ibuprofen 400 mg two times a day for seven days. 3. Apply Pyodine solution or Fucidin acid cream two times a day for seven days. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello, I have a question regarding herpes. My partner and I found out that he has herpes virus but no symptoms for the past ten years. The question is I have no symptoms and we have two children together with no symptoms either. Is their any possibility that we could be infected or carrying the virus? How can we be sure? | Hi. Thanks for the query. If your husband is diagnosed that he has Herpes virus but have not got any eruptions in the past ten years clearly indicate the virus is in dormant stage. Once a person is exposed to Herpes virus he becomes a lifetime carrier of the virus, although there is not always an active infection and the virus can remain dormant in small numbers in the nerves and can stay inactive in the nerves for years. In case if there is reduced immunity of the body or the resistance is reduced due to some reason then the reactivation and multiplication of the virus can take place leading to outburst of infection. You can consult an Infectious Medicine Specialist and get evaluated for viral infection by undergoing tests like Antigen-antibody reaction, Polymerase chain reaction etc. as per requirement and the test report can help in assuring you with the exact condition. Hope this helps. Regards. |

Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Fever of 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 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. I DO NOT THINK THIS IS RELATED TO MOLARS. Regards - |

Now as you are having recurrent palpitations and breathlessness despite having this pacemaker that should slow your heart rate. This means your pacemaker is not sensing the high heart rate (if it is there!). This could be due to the depletion of the battery or some fault with the lead. First get an EKG done to see if real tachycardia is there that is causing your symptoms of palpitations and breathlessness. And if it there, then get your pacemaker interrogated to find out the cause of its malfunction. |

Varicose vein with blood clot and pain while walking can be a sign of veins thrombosis. Painful and tender calf is typical for this condition. Hematoma if left alone can lead to infection.

I have taken tea and hot water and have gotten some nice belches, but I can barely breathe because my chest hurts so badly. Should I rush to the hospital? | Hi, Sir/Madam. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Many of your symptoms could possibly relate to an underlying acid reflux disease. Acid reflux disease is occasionally known to cause difficulty in breathing, chest tightening and belching. At this moment, I advise you to get an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to detect the presence of any mucosal ulceration or erosion in the upper stomach which is causing you the symptoms. Simultaneously It's important to rule out other serious cardiac ailments which can present similarly. For this I recommend that have a 2 D echo and ECG. Once these cardiac issues are ruled out, the focus can be shifted on Gastric issues. For the endoscopy, I advise you to see an expert, Gastroenterologist.Meanwhile, for symptomatic relief I generally treat my patients with oral tablets of Pantoprazole and Risperidone. I suggest you to please see a doctor if his/she views are same and if he/she can prescribe these Chat Doctor. Further management is largely based on the results of the endoscopy.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi doctor,I am 26 years old and now 36 weeks pregnant. I just noticed my stool appeared as a mixture of white and brown long particles. I never had white poop in such lengths. My scan reports were normal a month ago. Is there any problem to worry? Is there any threat to the baby? Should I visit the doctor urgently? Please help. | Hi. Passage of white or brown particles in stool does not harm baby and there is no need to be alarmed. You can visit a physician or gastroenterologist for a physical evaluation, to confirm the nature of the problem and take treatment if required. If there are no other stomach symptoms, that visit too is not an emergency. If you have white string in stools along with other symptoms like loose stools or vomiting and pain in abdomen/fever, you need to visit a doctor as early as possible. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Im a 16 year old female. Iv been experiencing occasional sharp pain in my chest and often get the feeling I cant breath properly for up to 4 seconds, where I feel as if theres no oxygen, I have had an asma test and an ECG however mother came back as um usual | Hi thanks for asking question. You have normal ECG so cardiac cause here seems to be less likely. First you might have such pain by bad sleep posture. Simple analgesic can be taken. Hot compress found useful. Take sleep in supine position. Second by any hard activity or weight lifting of heavy object can lead to muscular strain and such pain can occur. Analgesic taken for it. Third if you have gastric problems then by it chest pain can occur. Treat it with omeprazole or suitable treatment. Mostly above-mentioned causes most likely in your case. But if still want to rule out if history of cough and fever then respiratory viral infection has to be ruled out. Possibility of pneumonitis like infection also has to be ruled out. Chest x-ray and CBC will be helpful. Antibiotic may be needed for it.Finally, if you are taking excess stress then also pain can occur. Wish you good health. Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, I am a 38 year old woman. Two years ago, I lost 100 lb with diet and exercise. About two years ago, I started having back pain (lower right side). About 1 year after that, my right shoulders starting hurting while using exercise equipment. In March (while on the treadmill), my toes on my right foot start to cramp under like spasms. From that point on after walking about 30 minutes I experience the cramping. Later(over the past 3 months), I ve had a tightness in my right thigh (which actually started slightly prior to the cramping) but is now accompanied by knee pain and throbbing . My right arm continues to hurt and for the last two months I ve had a twitch in my wrist. My pinkie finger shakes when I use it for support. I ve been to several doctors. The only thing I ve been told is that I am anemic (iron deficiency) but they are not sure about the source of my symptoms. I also have a sore tooth (molar)on the right side of my mouth. What could be causing my symptom? | Dear Madam, it is good to know that you have lost 100 lb with diet and exercise. Your back pain, toe cramp and tightness in the thigh all have source in your nerve coming out of spinal cord in sacrum area. We have a soft tissue like substance in between our vertebra. These are called vertebral discs. If these discs gets torn or displaced due to many reasons then the nerves get entrapped between vertebral bones.it causes pain, muscle cramps, numbness along back and two legs. Also you should give rest to your right arm which has been injured. Your wrist twice has caused the local nerves affected causing finger shake., so please go for a comprehensive orthopedic check-up to know the exact status of your wrist joint. But I assure you that your sore tooth has nothing in relation with your muscle cramp of leg pain. Thank you. |

L3/4 Disc - Posterior central protrusion indenting the thecal sac and impinging on the traversing roots at the lateral recess. Whole spine survey: c3/4 and c5/6 discs - posterior protrusion indenting the thecal sac and cord . no cord edema seen. - is surgergy necessary for this? | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor Psychiatry from India. I have read your question carefully and understood it. Furthermore, I can understand your concern. Furthermore, I will try my best to answer your query. The condition you are mentioning here is called prolapse intervertebral disc with neuronal compromise. I will make you understand this disease. Our vertebral column is a bony structure which is made up of many bones called vertebrae. Vertebral column is hollow towards posterior side to accommodate spinal cord. In between two vertebrae there is a cartilaginous disc which is a main part of vertebral joint. Sometimes due to wear and tear or injury to vertebra, an intervertebral disc gets prolapsed and bulges posteriorly. If this prolapse is severe then this disc may impinge upon the spinal cord and emerging spinal nerves roots. This condition is dangerous as it may cause paralysis of lower portion of body. In your fathers' case it is more complicated due to multiple levels of involvement at both cervical (neck) and lumbar region. Sooner or later surgery may be required. I suggest you to follow the advice of his treating neurosurgeon who may advise correctly the right time of surgery according to functional capacity of your father. I wish your father a better health. |

In psychology, complex simply means feeling. When I am showing superior complex, in actuality, I am feeling superior to someone and am I showing it as my jewelry and behaves as if the other person is inferior to me. At the other hand, when I feel inferior, my feelings are that I am feeling inferior to the person in question. These complexes are purely feelings or emotional attributes. Person with inferiority complex with a person named A may not show the same complex with person named B. That also is true with superiority complex. Therefore, these complex / feeling are also based on perception and personal experience. If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR.

I had been taking ordenary carbidopa/levadopa 23/100, but my neurologist wanted me to try the Controlled Release type. I started having a problem taking a deep breath and yawning, and in checking out info regarding this new med, it lists bizarre breathing problems as a possible side-effect. This matches my symptoms, for sure, but I was wondering what the considered a bizarre breathing problem. I even had to go to the ER two nights ago as it was getting really bad. After doing all kinds of tests there, they said they couldn t find any serious problem (with heart, lung, etc.) They did find I have a UTI and prescribed med for that. But they didn t help me with the breathing problem. So any info you could offer would be greatly appreciated. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Parkinson's disease is neuropsychiatric disease. You're all routine reports for heart and lung are normal, so possibility of psychological cause for your bizarre breathing is more. And hence, better to consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic and other anti-psychotic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query.

(re-occurrent chest infections) New consultant, 2012, does not agree with allergy and thinks it is something else. I have just recovered from pneumonia (hospitalised) and tamiflu, they found this in one of my lungs, after bronchoscopy to find cause of inflammation in the lungs. I was too ill for them to do biopsy, but they performed washings...that is how they came across the flu virus. Have taken the emergency meds for that now and hopefully on the road to recovery. I have fostair steroid inhaler and ventolin inhalers and doxycline for a month. I have a consultant appointment in early May. I do trust my consultant and he wants the answer to what is attacking my lungs as much as me. I hate inhalers though, especially the steroid one, as have osteroporosis...on a natural diet and exercise programme for this. Any advice you can give me? | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am not certain what the diagnosis is at this stage: possibilities (1) central bronchiectasis, with asthma and aspergillus sensitivity (not certain if this test was done) is APA (Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergilli); (2) or depending on the nature of your work, or the number of avian species at home it is hypersensitivity pneumonitis. You need the following tests:1. HRCT Chest2. Precipitins3. Or Aspergillus IgG4. Total IGE levels5. Skin prick test to aspergillus species6. Pulmonary function tests must get these tests done when you are well from this recent infection. A combination of steroids and antifungals could be tried if it is hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

A. USG - to know structural normalcy of your uterus and Ovaries. B. SG - hysterosalpingography, within first ten days of the cycle, this helps to know about the patency of fallopian tubes. C. SEMEN ANALYSIS, to know about the quality and quantity of the sperms. 4) If you have history of regular cycles then day 10 to 20 of the cycle.is the most fertile period of cycle. If you happen to have unprotected sex act in this period, then You Stand chance to get pregnant. 5) please start on Folic acid, vitamin B 12 and Omega-3 supplements at least 3 months before you plan to get pregnant.

Minimal invasive procedure ( incision under my right breast) discharged on 11/29. 11/30 had palpitations and irregular beats (PAC and some PVC ) - no atrial fib. Was put on Lopressor 25 mg daily (12.5mg in am and 12.5 mg in evening). I still feel SOB ( same as before the surgery).

He said it is such a small dose that I dont have to wean off of it. 30 years ago I was put on Inderal for migraines(dont remember dose) and I had Sob and developed allergic bronchitis from the Inderal. Is it possible my continued sob could be from the low dose Lopressor and can I stop it abruptly since it is a low dose and I have only been on it for 2 months? | Hello Lopressor and federal are of same group drugs, through Lopressor is more cardiac specific. However, there are fair chances that if you did not tolerate federal you might not tolerate Lopressor too. The dose of federal you are on is very mild, however I would prefer that you take once a day 12.5 mg for a week and then stop to make sure that PAC s don't occur. Yes both federal and Lopressor can cause allergic bronchitis (asthma) like picture, and it should be avoided if that is the case.

I have read your query and here is my advice. Are you certain that your grandsons rash is due to chickenpox? With the availability of the varicella (chickenpox)vaccine, chickenpox is much less common than it used to be. The vaccine is given in the USA to a healthy child in two doses: at 12-15 months of age and between 4 and 6 years of age. So it is possible that he is fully immunized against chickenpox already. However, if he does have chickenpox, it is absolutely essential that you take him to the doctor immediately! A complication of chickenpox is pneumonia. You should notify the doctor's office before you take your grandson in so that the doctor and staff have time to make adjustments, so other persons will not be exposed.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Im 31 and have Peripheral Neuropathy. My veins on the top of my feet are bulging and tight. This has caused severe burning sensation and pain. Ive asked my Rheumatologist and primary care doctor. Neither of them seem to know what this is caused by or what can alleviate the symptoms. | Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! Regareding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms are related to the peripheral neuropathy. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist and discussing the possibility of starting therapy with Gabapentin or pregabalin for the pain. From the other hand, considering the fact that you have bulging veins on your feet, it is necessary to perform a Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels to exclude possible chronic venous insufficiency, which can trigger the situation. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes, |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I had my gallbladder removed six yrs ago...I have been seeing a chiropractor three times this week and felt good today;however, I just ate a salad and I have pain under my right rib cage again. It doesnt hurt when I breath...but this is very uncomfortable | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since your pain is associated with eating, possibility of acute gastritis and hyperacidity is more. So better to avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Avoid stress and tension. Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach. You will mostly improve with all these in 5 days. If not improving then get done ultrasound examination of abdomen to rule out internal cause for your pain. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am 71 years old and my blood pressure has been droping to 115/7 or 20/75. What is to low or to high for me at my age? I feel great. and I am not sick. I take 10/40 blood pressure med and 25Mg of Levothyroxine has been taking it for one year now.Let me know what is to high and low for me concerning blood pressure.mamahrodgers2@gmail | Hello What you had mentioned asymptomatic. So the readings which you have mentioned are likely a false reading and machine error. Because it's possible for any person to have such low BP without any symptoms. One would have dizziness syncope etc. So I think no need to worry about it especially of you are not having any symptoms. And recheck the BP with arm lying relaxed and straight. There should not be a bend at elbow which may falsely lower the BP. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts. Regards |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I m very depressed. I ve been fixated and obsessed with the same woman for almost 30 years. I separated from my wife a year ago. This woman contacted me a few weeks ago. I thought she might be single. We talked today and she is still married. I professed my obsession and love for her. I know this is going no where, but I can t help but feel like there is no one else for me and that I will be alone for the rest of my life. How do I put her behind me. | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You are having these obsessive thoughts mainly because you are possessive. You feel that, without her, your life could be shattered. Love makes us to think so. Is it so actually? Everyone has to leave the earth one day and the other survives, even though crippled with grief. That too for some time. Then they come back to life. That is the rule of life. If you try to forget forcefully, those obsessive thoughts will bounce back. Instead, you should consider those thoughts are energizing. Also engage yourself in entertaining activities / vocation. If you still need my help, please describe the whole problem in detail and post a direct question to me. I shall definitely help you with psychotherapy techniques to overcome your problems. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | ive been having chronic back pain in lower right hand side for around 4 months now and have took a load of different painkillers and anti inflammatories also have been prescribed tablets still no better it started when i was in work in october i was handballing 25kg bags for 12 hours a day 6-7 days a week constantly the pain spreads across to my left sided and up my back but not into my legs, Im thinking i might of slipped a disc because its constant pain. | In my opinion you should stop worrying. For immediate relief have some painkiller along with a muscle relaxant and have proper bed rest for 2 weeks. Do not lie down on soft mattress use hard one instead, do not sit for longer durations and do not travel long distance for 2 weeks. When getting up from bed always take a lateral position first then hang your legs down and then get up. When working, maintain a good posture of your back. Add a lumbar support cushion to you chair. Do not strain your self or over exert. . U can also apply some good anti inflammatory painkiller gel on your back. If the pain increases do some hot fermentation locally and make a routine of doing some back strangling exercise daily. Start will 10 mins twice a day to 20 mins twice a day and walk for 30-40 mins a day alt east. I am sure you will be fine in 2 weeks |

In my opinion, your pain is more suggestive of musculoskeletal nature as you had heavy exertion by shifting big box. But still I advise you to rule out cardiac and pulmonary cause for this. So get done1. ECG to rule out cardiac cause.2. Chest x-ray to rule out pulmonary cause. If both of the above are normal than it muscle be due to muscle pull. Try to follow these.1. Avoid heavy weight lifting.2. Avoid heavy exertion.3. Avoid bad postures in bed.4. Take good painkillers and muscle relaxant.5. Apply warm water pad to the affected area. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hey. i am 16 weeks of amenorea and a lot of contraction. i take natural progesterone utrogestan but I am living in Kenya and my doctor in kenya asked me to get an injection of primolut 250mg, I have called my doctor from my country in Belgium who said not to take that injection because its useless in my case and not good for baby and forbidden since many years in pregnancy in belgium, my cervix is closed but long of 2cm only and many contractions. primolut injection or not? thxs a lot | Hi there,Both Primal and Progestin are forms of progesterone and given safely in pregnancy. They are given in women whom we suspect to have threatened abortion to prevent from losing the pregnancy. Any one form of the progesterone is fine, you need not take both. They both have similar effectiveness and since you are taking progestin you should continue it. And more so if your cervix is long and closed the likelihood of you losing this pregnancy is very small. You need to relax and be positive, once reached 16 weeks and with cervix closed and no prior history of miscarriage, you are very unlikely to miscarry. Please continue the progestin till 24 weeks and relax. Also continue the Folic acid and other vitamins you may be taking. Anxiety and stress will only make matters worse, continue the progestin. Hope this helps. Regards. |

Trying to cut alcohol down and only drink at I am 47, am overweight woman . | Hi welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. The pain in your case is strongly related to the intake of alcohol. There can be associated peptic ulcer or chronic pancreatitis responsible for your pain. I strongly recommend you to have an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to detect this pathology. Specific management depends on the endoscopy results. Chat Doctor. Weight reduction and cessation of alcohol intake will help to improve your symptoms. Surgical management involves total pancreatectomy. Discuss this with your doctor. Post your further queries, if any. Thank you. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | For the last eight years I have experienced constant pain in both right and left thumb joints. I can trace the beginning of this to a day in February in 2012 when I woke up with a crick in my neck sending sharp pain down both arms. That resolved in a few weeks but the pain in my elbow joints and thumb joins remained. The elbow pain has subsided for the most part but the thumb joints ache and make it painful to put certain types of pressure on them such as shuffling cards and untying knots. | Hello, I think the origin of your complaints is the neck, maybe herniated cervical disc or discography. Even though you do not have any pain in the neck the nerves of the arm and thumbs have origin in the neck. I suggest you to do a neck MRI and rule out or confirm this diagnosis. Also, EMG (electromyography) helps to see if the nerves are compressed or not. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
