ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello, Im a busy mom and law student. I did alot of yardwork on Monday and that night I took 5 hours of notes with my left arm. I woke up that Tuesday with a colorless lump on my forearm. It is positioned near my cephalic vein. It is somewhat firm and I can kind of move it from side to side. There is no bruising or swelling. | Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some benign cyst or some soft tissue tumor like nodular fasciitis or dome other tumor. You should go for excision biopsy of that lump. Consult your doctor and plan 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. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My 11 month old has had a few falls lately ranging from falling of his brothers bed to kicking himself backwards from the table while strapped to his booster seat he was grumpy on fri so I sat with him and stroked his head and noticed that his head has a large spongy bump on it what would that be caused by ? Is it serious and should I take him into a dr? He seems ok and hasn t been acting differently minus two days of being grouchy which I thought that he was teething but there was no loss of conscious at the time and he seems normal | Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. Bulgy swelling over head in your child seems to be due to falling with trauma on head. In a case of head trauma, if there is loss of consciousness, nose or mouth bleed, seizures then the injury is serious and need immediate neurological assessment. In your case, these things are not present, but a boggy swelling is present, in my opinion, there doesn't appear to be damage to brain. However, you should do a CT scan of head to rule out fracture and hematoma inside brain. A neurological opinion should also be done. I hope this has helped you. Take care. Regards - Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My daughter has been complaining about her legs and arms shaking constantly for the past 2 weeks. We had all the blood work done, and everything is completely normal. With this, she has been having chronic headaches for a few months. A recent MRI had shown she has a cyst in her sinus, which they feel is causing the headaches. However, they are still clueless about the shaking. Any thoughts? | Hi, Thanks for writing in. Legs and arms shaking for 2 weeks is not related to sinus problems including cysts in the sinus. If MRI scan brain is normal then a screening MRI scan of the spine might be done to know if there is any problem in the spinal canal that can be causing this. Sometimes patients get shaking hands and legs even due to partial seizures and this should be evaluated by doing an electroencephalography which will map any abnormal electrical activities in the brain responsible for her symptoms. The sinuses are air spaces in the face where the air gets conditioned to the body temperature and humidity before entering the lungs. A cyst in the sinus is a benign finding and can cause headaches which are positional and more after bending forwards. Any fluid collection or cysts in the sinuses can explain the chronic headaches. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have been having sharp pain in my lower chest under my rib cage lately. I was wondering if it was anything to worry about. I do have a hiatal hernia. I also have suffered from kidney stones and have a cat scan done every year to make sure they dont get too large. I also have asthma, and esphophagal reflux disease and have had my gallbladder removed. Should I be worried about this pain? I am on oxycontin for pain for interstitial cystitis and have to take milk of magnesia every day for bowel movements. | Hello dear, The symptoms are related to the acid reflux & secondary to hiatal hernia. Management consists of: 1. Lifestyle modification- like weight reduction, sleeping on the left side, or with upper body raised. 2. Dietary modification- avoid consuming irritating substances such as acidic & rich foods, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol.3. Medical management-Proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole, Pantoprazole, etc. (which prevent acid formation in stomach) & Risperidone 10 mg twice a day(to be taken 30 min before meal)If symptoms still persist, kindly consult a Gastroenterologist for proper clinical examination. Investigation like upper GI endoscopy will be helpful. There is no need to worry...you will be fine. Take care. |

So consult psychiatrist for detail history and treatment. For diabetes you should consult physician.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,My left foot got numb, then my left hand, and now my right leg as well. The doctor did diabetes, cholesterol and thyroid tests. All the laboratory reports were clear. There were no issues. Vitamin B12 was fine as well. Then, he performed nerve conduction studies and he told me that everything is clear. Now, please tell me what could be the issue. I am currently on Vitamin D and Calcium supplements. | Hello. Considering your symptoms, I would recommend performing a brain MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) study to investigate for possible multiple sclerosis. If the brain MRI results are normal, then you should consider anxiety as the main cause of your complaints. I would also recommend performing a cardiac ultrasound and a resting ECG (electrocardiography). You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I bent over and lifted my trailer (probably around 60-70lb s) to remove it from the truck hitch, done this 100 times before BUT this time I felt a huge pop/click in the lower middle portion of my back. I felt it more on my right side. It initially hurt only a little but was very uncomfortable and I felt a lot of pressure below my lower back and beyond downwards. I now have radiating light pain all around my very lowest portion of my back, tailbone area and even thighs. I have to walk very slow and feel as if I may collapse not from pain but just feels like my back or thighs will give out. If I flex my stomach it also feels the same way. Is it possible I only pulled a muscle in that area or should I seek medical help? | Hi there. Thanks for your question at Chat Doctor. You should get medical help at earliest if back pain radiating to thighs persists. If you had pulled your muscle, the pain would most likely be restricted to your back and would not radiated your limbs. On the other hand back pain after lifting weights associated with pain radiating to limbs, suggests disc related pain. The physician in ER can do simple tests to differentiate between the two. Either way you should get medical help. Hope this helps. All the best. Regards. Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hi, i generally have a 33day cycle, my last menstrual cycle was of 39 days, i want to conceive so my gynac suggested me some blood test which included harmonal, thyroide, blood-sugar, all the test happen to be normal but then she even suggested for a follicular study, which shows that i have PCOS . My follicular study also shows the following details, Day-12th, Right Ovary-MSF, left Ovary-MSF, Endometrium- 8mm. she is suggested for some more scans till the 17th day to check the ovulation dates, but does this reports indicate that i am infertile & cannot ovulate without medication . i am very much confused & upset because i want to conceive asap. Is 12th day growth of the egg seems quite low or can be considered as normal? please help.... | Hi, Thanks for your query. I read your query and understand your concerns. Following is my reply: Egg needs to be 18 mm in size before doing any treatment. That is the reason your scans are exceeding day 17. Ovulation is delayed in women with PRO as in your case. Its better you keep getting follicular scans done regularly to know growth of follicle. See an IVF specialist and discuss necessity of ovarian Chat Doctor.

Folliculometry is normally done with transvaginal ultrasound. It is started on day 2 or 3 of periods with a baseline ultrasound to see the baseline status of the ovaries prior to starting stimulation of the ovaries. In your case follicular growth is increasing normally. It is about 2Β mm/day. On day 15 R. O-13mm might be subjective error or ovulation has occurred with irregular follicular shape. Ovulation usually occurs on 14th day when follicle size is between 18-22Β mm. ET(endometrial thickness) of 7.5 is good. What I recommend you is to continue folliculometry till your follicle size is between 18-22Β mm followed by Chat Doctor in. Chances of conception per cycle after ovulation is 18-22%. Good luck, regards, Chat Doctor. |

Migraines, even ocular migraines are not uncommon. The same is said for palpitation. The MRI findings have to be correlated with the reason the test was done. Sometimes they are present with no clear explanation. You are correct in the report of you blood pressure, slightly high. It warrants attention. The simple diet and exercise recommendations are difficult but may be the most rewarding.

There is just some excess fluid around my right testicle. This immediately freaked me out as anything wrong makes me think of cancer. Luckily, I had a physical scheduled already for Wednesday of next week, so I had my GP look at it. He noticed the fluid and did some inspection along with his assistant and felt was around and did not feel any lumps, bumps, or swelling of the testicles themselves. Regardless, he went ahead and referred me to a urologist. The fluid has remained pretty consistent since I noticed. I have some time before I visit the urologist, but my GP did not seem to be concerned. Do you have any idea on what this could be? Is there any way this could be from testicular cancer?Currently, I am on anti-anxiety medicine Lexapro 10 mg. I had my complete blood count done a month ago and everything was normal. | Hello. Relax and do not worry. If you or GP do not feel any lump from testis, then it is not likely to be testis cancer. So, I feel it would be a simple hy ChatDoctor. So, do not worry at all.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, I had an operation on a herniated disc L5 S1, it has been 11 weeks since i had the operation, they didn t remove it they took away the part that was sitting on the nerve, my problem is, is that i still have sciatica and also part of my left foot has become numb since the operation which wasn t there before, i can only manage 30 mins walk and after that i am laid up for the rest of the day, when i saw my doctor he asked me if the numbness in my foot was any better or worse after the operation, i told him considering there was no numbness before i had the operation then i would hazard a guess it s worse, when i ask questions i don t seem to get any answers, i get told it could be down to scar tissue and i may have damaged the nerve leading up to the operation but my answer to that is that they had me in physiotherapy for 8 weeks which consisted of traction, could this have had any effect? and what is the cause of the numbness in my foot? and could they have done damage themselves? Your help would be most appreciated as i just want to get back to normal. Regards | HiT hank you for your question. From what you have described seems like you had L5-S1 laminectomy. Numbness appearing after surgery may be related to prolonged retraction or excessive traction on the nerve though it can not always be explained. Traction has been recommended for less than 48 hours as its effect is only due to bed rest. Traction by itself is very unlikely to have caused the numbness. The numbness may take long time to resolve up to 6 months and may not always resolve completely. If your pain is getting worse it is worth obtaining the MRI of lumbar spine with and without contrast as it has already been 3 months, to find or rule out scar tissue or stenosis at the adjacent level. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. |

For your extreme pain you can immediately start antibiotics and painkillers. Your dentist must have given you antibiotics previously. Please take one more short course of three day, simultaneously visit your dentist too and get the tooth extracted.Meanwhile, please brush your teeth and rinse vigorously, so that all the decayed debris are flushed out and then do rinsing with antiseptic mouth wash for three times daily. You can do, one more home remedy, if you have it, you can apply clove oil in a cotton pellet and keep it at the painful site for three minutes. Later on you can spit it out. Please remember, this all is for relieving pain only, but exact treatment must be received from your dentist for complete relief. Hope it helps. Let me know for further query. Thanks. Take care. |

He had a colonoscopy done and they found nothing to even suggest he has diverticulitis. They also eliminated Crohn s and Celiac disease. The only thing we have noticed that aggravates the pain is steak so he avoids it but still has the pain. He describes it as a bruised feeling. It s a dull pain unless he eats something that aggravates it or if the area is touched then it is a sharp pain, and he says it s not a cramping pain at all, just a very bad bruised feeling. It also causes him weird bowel movements that range from diarrhea one day to close to constipation the next.

Her pedia gave me already antibiotic Cefaclor and its her 3rd day taking med. im wondring, how will i know if the med is curing my babys UTI? what other causes of uti aside from hygiene? Thanks! | Thanks for putting up your query at Chat Doctor. I understand the cause of your concern. Our urinary tract under normal circumstances contains certain bacteria and there is nothing unusual about it. When this number increases beyond a certain limit, the situation is known as urinary tract infection (UTI) and although the body sends its white blood cells to fight, they cannot do so adequately. The dead white blood cells are known as pus cells, what has been detected in urine. If the urine is cultured, the sensitivity of these bacteria to antibiotics can be determined. If the bacteria are sensitive to the antibiotic that has been prescribed, the fever comes down. It may take a few days time and there is nothing to worry. If the fever comes down, you can assume that the antibiotics are working and the UTI is getting cured. Since the bacteria that cause UTI are already present in the urinary tract, all you have to do is to keep their number in check and this can be done by maintaining proper hygiene. I hope that helps.

As your range is 85 degrees, you need to push harder and active hamstring movement should be achieved, and the knee ROM should be 120 degrees for better stability and mobility.

Is there any procedure to remove lesion. Till today i dont have any record of seizure. | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. A calcified lesion is most often due to a healed tape worm infection, called as neurocysticercosis. Since the worm is already dead, as suggested by calcification, albendazole is not necessary. The visual symptoms could be a sign of seizure, and it may be due to the location of lesion in the occipital lobe. So, Extol may have to be restarted and continued for long. Tingling in knee is an unrelated problem. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. |

That is why diagnosis of tuberculosis of reproductive system a clinical examination, laboratory testing of blood, histopathology of endometrium, examination of uterine cavity with Histerosalpingogram are considered along with PCR test. Endometrial tuberculosis is a notorious condition as far as conception is concerned. Of course, in these days of modern medicine any type of problem is treatable. The only thing needed is the earliest diagnosis & prompt complete treatment under an experts' guidance for specified period (minimum for 6 months) along with nutritive diet, vitamin/iron supplements for maintaining good general condition.

Now your queries- 1) Chances of adhesions and & tubal blockage can be prevented by regular & sufficient medication. 2) In uncomplicated & cured TB endometriosis, natural conception is possible. Due to adhesions, possibility of tubal pregnancy is raised in Genital TB. To avoid tubal pregnancy, one can be careful & get all the investigations including Mystery salpingography done before planning for pregnancy 3)In fact, TB treatment, taken properly, for sufficient period prevents any damage in reproductive organs. 4) Yes, after a complete & successful treatment of TB, & its reassessment you can plan for pregnancy.

Now i feel that my abdomen are large size and tight after food but i have no any symtom like no fever, no pain, no lose wts. I dought for again abdomen TB. | Hi. Thanks for your query. Read your history and understood the problem. It is good that you had been diagnosed and well treated for Tuberculosis of abdomen. Since you were asymptomatic for last year the chances of an active TB of abdomen is remote. The probable causes for belatedness and tightness of your abdomen can be: Intestinal sub-acute intestinal obstruction due to stricture formation of intestine; this is quite common sequel. Can be a mild gastroenteritis. I would advise you the following. X-ray of the abdomen in standing position. This is the cheapest and simplest test to see for intestinal obstruction. Ultrasonography and CT scan of the abdomen to confirm. Routine tests of blood and urine. Enterocolitis if obstruction is suspected, Diagnostic Laparoscopy: this helps in diagnosis and well as therapeutically. One can cut the bands / release the adhesions. Take a course of an antibiotic and metronidazole for 5 days, is there is a response, nothing to worry. - Maintain healthy food habits, avoid too many fibrous foods as they can cause repeated sub-acute intestinal obstructions. If no relief further investigations and treatment will be required. |

Small kidneys with diffuse increased echogenicity of renal parenchyma billaterally and loss of corticomedullary differentiation. Likely related to chronic medical renal disease. Mild to moderate left pelvicalyceal dilatation with mild thickening of urothelium. | Hi, Thanks for writing in. I guess you have got ultrasound scan done, and the report findings are mentioned by you. The details in simple language are below.1. Small kidneys with diffuse increased echogenicity of renal parenchymal bilaterally and loss of corticomedullary differentiation. Likely related to chronic medical renal disease. This means that the kidneys have slightly shrunken in size and the appearance of the renal cortex is increased. In other words, the kidneys have started to function below normal and this might be related to conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure should you be having either or both of them.2. Mild to moderate left pelvicalyceal dilatation with mild thickening of ruthenium. The left kidney shows a suspected block in the collecting system and also the thickening of the lining of tubes connecting the kidney to the bladder on the left side. The above findings are indicative of a decreasing kidney function. This needs to be reviewed by a nephrologist, and they might suggest further testing to know the quantitative functioning of kidneys by doing tests like creatinine clearance and radioisotope renal function. Treatment is based on controlling any other medical condition that you might have and delaying the progression of renal failure by giving medicines. |

Swallowing is extremely difficult and I went to see local urgent care where they prescribed me with Amoxicillin 500 mg and said it was most likely pharyngitis even though I have not had tonsils for many years.My main concern, even though it is a worse case scenario, is esophageal cancer through HPV can occur, as my girlfriend was recently diagnosed with HPV. Again, I know this is the worst case scenario, but since she was diagnosed I really been concerned about HPV-related cancers. From what I read and what I\ve been told, there are no real tests to check in men for HPV and even though there is the vaccine it is not recommended for men ages 26 to 45 years.I have already been taking Amoxicillin for about four days now and nothing improves. I have also tried taking regular over the counter cough drops and gargling with salt water. This has not helped at all either I have also been told that throat cancer from HPV can usually be spotted unless you have lesions in your oral area. Right now I am at a loss of what I really need to do? Any help or advice would seriously be appreciated. I am also under Amlodipine 5 mg. | Hello. Your problem can be due to pharyngitis. It is possible that Amoxicillin is not effective enough in your case. You may need some other antibiotics. I want to see your throat myself. Can you send me a picture of your throat? (I should be able to see posterior pharyngeal wall and tonsils). We can think of HPV-related problems only after ruling out other infections. Did you lose your weight? Are you having any swelling in the neck (lymph node enlargement)? The only way of ruling out HPV-related oral cancers is by taking an oral biopsy. Before concluding anything please send me a picture of your throat. I will be able to guide you in a better way. Take care. |

Visualised vertebrae are normal in shape, size and outline and invertebral discs are normal in height.Could i get your opinion on this please? Do i have a herniated or prolapsed disc and would it require surgery? | Hello, Thanks for your query.

It means L5 vertebra is shifted forward along with whole spine when compare with S1 making spine unstable and painful. It is not a herniated or prolapsed disc. Herniated or prolapsed disc are not visible in x-ray. They are seen on MRI. There are two treatment options. First option is to use of lumbosacral support to decrease movements, neurotropics such as methocobalmines and analgesics for pain relief (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. Second option is go for surgical operation(reduction and fusion). You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.

Sorry to hear about the spinal tumor in your brother. It is important to know the size, extent, location and grade of tumor he is having. Most low grade tumors are treated by surgery.

He also seems to have some amount of breathing difficulty today while sleeping, although he does not have any background in asthma.I have some questions:I have given him Zyrtec (Cetirizine) syrup 3.5 mL today late evening, which probably makes him feel a little better.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi. Since a few weeks ago Ive started getting these white puss filled pockets on the top back of the roof of my mouth as well as on the inside of the lower gum on the same side. Ive quit smoking some time ago and have been chewing Nicorettes. Is this reason for concern? They burst and reappear every now and then, this morning after eating some yoghurt. Thank you | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pus filled bumps can be because of the tooth infection or gum infection leading to periapical or periodontal abscess formation. Nothing to be panic, Consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. If I am your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to take radiographs like RVG or IOP AR to rule out gum and teeth infection. If it is a gum or teeth infection I would have prescribed a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500Β mg and metronidazole 400Β mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Then I would have suggested going for scaling and root planing for gum infection. RCT or extraction if it is a tooth infection. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | What is the risk of spinal cord injury in a person with a unilateral fracture of the left facet of C-6? 2 years ago I suffered this injury in a mountain biking accident. No surgery was required. I returned to work 8 weeks after the incident. Presently have no pain and a slight rotational deficit at the limit of turning my head. I wish to begin cycling again but am concerned about re-injury or worse suffering a spinal cord injury from another fall. I am a 6 tall male 200#. | Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history. As the C6 fracture cannot lead to long term spinal cord injury. There may be a possibility of having nerve root impingement in the future if the neck muscles become weak. I will advise you to undergo and thorough clinical examination and an MRI of the neck. Also, with physical therapy you can regain the strength in the neck muscles and keep the normal anatomical alignment of the bony structures in the cervical spine, and you can avoid nerve root impingement. Using a collar while your sports is important to avoid any injury to the neck muscles and even can avoid the misalignment of the cervical spine. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor. |

Then tonight I had really bad tightening of the stomach and kept burping then pains in my stomach got really bad then I had terrible diarihia. Im really worried whats happening please help | Hello dear, The symptoms as mentioned in your post is attributed to accumulation of gas in the stomach. The presence of constipation and the pregnant uterus pressing over the bowels has an additive effect over this. Under such circumstances, you need to regularize your bowel movements first. Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of Pantoprazole preparation (to be taken twice a day before meals) & antacid gel (to be taken after meals). They prevent formation of excess acid in the stomach & provide symptomatic relief. And it is also needed that you take certain precautions regarding your diet & lifestyle, such as:1. Take soft, plain, non-spicy foods.2. Chat Doctor. |

He had a Peg inserted in his small bowel two weeks ago however the feed appears to be running through him.

I am sorry about your father and his serious diagnosis. This is obviously terminal stage of malignant disease. If his cancer is inoperable NAD he needed ileostomy this means that his therapy is only palliative. It is hard done predict anything in such cases, but he will probably pass away cause of respiratory failure caused by obstruction or infection.

Her medication is also going on since many years but none of the medicine has yet resolved the issue of low hemoglobon count completely. This is a recurring issue & comes after every few months. She has a habit of chewing Pan Masala. Is this leading to all the health problems. | Hello Thanks for the query. Your aunt is suffering from severe anemia.(2.7) is a very severe anemia and will take a very long time for correction with medication. Moreover, taking medications for anemia for a long time leads to gastritis and increased acidity. She needs to be evaluated for such low hemoglobin levels and the cause of her anemia should be treated. That could be due to increased blood loss during mensuration or bleeding hemorrhoids(Piles)Please get your Aunt to a good physician and get her examination and routine blood investigations done. She may also need blood transfusion or Haematinic Injections to increase her hemoglobin levels. Pan Masala cause Gastritis and may cause peptic ulcer and upper G.I.

Please suggest me a remedy. | Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. I appreciate your concern regarding hair fall. Hair fall is usually ascribed to multiple factors like diet and nutrition, hormones, stress, acute or chronic medical conditions, Chat Doctor. From your description, it seems you might be having Halogen Effluvium, which is hairball secondary to stress. If I were your dermatologist/trichologist, I would like to take through history including family history, history of recent major trauma/illness/stress/medications etc. and recommend some basic investigations like CBC, blood sugar, Thyroid function test. Some other special investigations like pictogram and endoscopy and further aid in diagnosis and prognosis. I would suggest you a course of oral tablets containing biotin and other essential vitamins and minerals for minimum 3 months. Also, would put you on solution containing 5% minoxidil once a day and a hair serum containing peptides for hair growth at night.(Groupie solution etc.). I would advise use of gentle shampoo and conditioner on regular basis and use of coconut oil twice a week.

Thanks for your question... I understand that it can be very distressing to deal with a family member who is addicted to alcohol and who refuses to take any steps to change himself. It is also very difficult to stop any habit or addiction without the motivation and co-operation of the person. Also, most people who abuse alcohol or any other substance have already been told the enough number of times by their relatives and friends to stop or cut down the habit. But remember, the very definition of addiction implies that the person has lost control over the substance and is unable to stop or control its use, despite knowing that it can cause him / her harmful consequences. Now, at the same time, this does not mean that there is no way out. There are a lot of people who have sought help and have been able to quit / control alcohol. One of the key factors in success is to get the person motivated. Merely telling the person repeatedly to stop usually does little good. I would suggest that the most practical way is to get him to see a doctor whenever you find an opportunity. He may not be willing to see a doctor for his Chat Doctor. Once you get him to see the doctor, then that can be used as an opportunity by the doctor to discuss his |
