The other day I hit my hand on the corner of a counter. The area I hit was on or around the knuckle of my pointer finger. Now my hand has some swelling, bruising, and there is a burning sensation through my hand when I move my pointer finger or thumb. I have full mobility in my fingers and everything, but the swelling, even though it isn t extreme, isn t just on my knuckle where I hit it. So I m a little concerned even though the pain isn t severe. The pain is pretty mild as long as I don t touch the spot I hit. There is some swelling up my pointer finger, as well as down from the knuckle to the area between my pointer finger and thumb. I get bumps and bruises all the time, but I ve never had some a simple one have such a spreading of swelling or have the burning sensation. Do you think it more than just a bruise?

Hi,I have been on Paxtine for depression for 10 years.  Last year I had a blood test to discover why I was feeling so tired. It was discovered that I had raised liver levels.  I stopped drinking my nightly couple of glasses of wine for 3mths and was retested but no change.  A month ago, I read on the internet that antidepressants can affect liver. How true is this?  I have been slowly trying to wean myself off Paxtine but have relapsed into severe depression.  What should I do- continue weaning or go back on the Paxtine?  Katrina

Hi, For the last 6 months I ve been having dull abdominal pain on the right side, also light back pain in the same area. With months the pain hasn t changed much, it has become slightly easier to point the location on my stomach, in the beginning i could show just the area. Sometimes it feels it has moved bit to lower abdominal, sometimes it feels like hurting just below my rib cage (most common in horizontal from navel). Also for last two months my bowel movements are loose and light or yellowish. I do not have to go too often, just 1-2 times a day. Also i have noticed that lately all my stomach is more sensitive than it used to be, sometimes hurts after some foods, sometimes slight heartburn . So far I had whole abdominal ultrasound, which was okay. Had some liver blood tests, also okay. What could be the problem? What tests should I do? Im female, 28, not taking any medications, no other diseases than endometriosis .


hello, my dad has done a polypoctamey about 40 days ago, since he got out of the operation, he stayed 3 days in the intensive care in good health on the fourth day he got hypoxia, they put him on oxygen mask, after 1 week negotiating if its a heart problem or lung, they discovered that he has lung fibrosis and that he has infection, so he stayed on the mask for about a month during this time he used a treatment called sebab, however he was getting better as he has been in the hospital for 45 days, 4 days ago he got fever then the saturation in his blood went down to 60% on 100% oxygen mask, so they put him on the sebab for a whole day until his heart down part stopped working, then they put him on ventilator with high sedation, after that they discovered that he has kidney and liver failure, my question is what is the probability of him coming out of this, also if you need any xray or reports I have it here and I can send it, I forgot to mention that yesterday his WBCs went upto 39000

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...my 4 year old son has itching at bottom of scrotum and it usually results after he wets himself by accident. I recently noticed that the bottom of his scrotum is more enlarged like a small lump since I gave him a shower today and put 1% hydrocortisone on his itchy area. this was not as large before I gave him the shower. He has in the past few months periodically had frequent urination, has not been able to release it all or would say that he had to go very bad and then when he went to the bathroom nothing would come out. I took him to the doctor a couple of months ago about this frequent urination and accidents and the doctor informed me that it did not appear medical but perhaps he was just waiting to the last minute to use the bathroom. He did not have this problem a few months ago at all and has been potty trained since he turned 3. could the sudden puffiness/lump on his scrotum be the fabric softener on the towels and his underwear or detergent


For the past 2 plus years I have had a flat red rash that starts on my neck and works it s way around the whole of my neck. It becomes hot, sore, and can be there for days.

It normally starts when I feel my neck tingleing and some timed it can be itchy - quite itchy when it s completely around the whole of my neck. The doctors haven t been able to advise what it is and just tell me to moisturise it.

I have been diagnosed with mild acid reflux.  I have had a echocardiogram and a nuclear stress test and botChatDoctore back good.  Am I suffering some type of nerve problem?

My 53 year old son has 7 gold capped teeth.  I had several murcury fillings in the past , of which I experienced a unpleasant time each time when Iwpould be using a silver-plated fork or spoon into my mouth.  My son has developed an incurable disease, Scleroderma.  A autoimmune problem.  There is little known about  Scleroderma.  I know I am clutching at straws.  With that much gold in his mouth causes me to wonder. I know that gold does react differently than the old  murcury, but I am wondering if  all that gold is causing some sort of reaction to his immune system.

I had something on the left side of my head between my eye and my ear pulse rapidly several times due, possibly to a flickering screen I was sitting near for several hours. I became very dizzy while this occurred. I became very warm immediately after and cold after that. For about a week afterwards I had a fuzzy not all there feeling. Paramedics could not determine my issue and I went to the ER who could not detect anything wrong with me (blood or EKG). I went to the doctor for a follow up and complained of the fuzzy feeling and another dizzy spell which occurred in the exact same place as the original symptoms appeared (the screen was replaced). The doctor said to wait to see if it came back and to see him again in a month. My back, especially my upper back, neck, head, and shoulders are exceptionally tight even after getting a masssage. My heart feels odd at times. Got any ideas?

In the chance someone get shot in the chest , causing a sucking bullet wound, what should I do? I understand that you should form a bandage sealed on three sides (fourth left open for air to escape the wound) but should is still apply a good amount of pressure?

But I cant see doing this with ought pressure or the victim might bleed out?

Dont laugh. Just had my 58th bday. Had an intense bout of vertigo a few months ago. Symptoms resolved ( mild ringing in ears continues, very background, not problematic) but I have been off my game ever since. Lost quite a bit of momentum and had been doing yoga, biking prior. Tired, general all over body fatigue in way Ive never experienced before and have been athletic and fairly hyperactive my whole life. Normal weight (5 ft 8. 145 normally. 160 now) Not really pain, just physical worn outness that makes me want to sit or lie down. Something that up until now I didnt do much of. Ive always been the energizer bunny, kept late hours. Dont take any meds sedatives etc. Rarely drink even moderate alcohol. Less than 1 glass a mth. Do drink typically 2 cups, now up to 4 cups of espresso in a day ( made at home) Maybe ibuprofen 2x a mth. More lately!Have become more sedentary and gained more than 10 lbs as a result. Fatigue tends to hit early evening (7 or 8) and everything from feet to hands feel heavy. My 80+ yr old mother was recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Might it be? Is this what old is? Also do feel like I am forgetting things more. I have had adhd my whole life, btw. Any advice appreciated. Thank you.

Im 57, in fairly good health. In the last couple weeks, Ive noticed difficulty breathing in the shower. Sometimes Im light headed when I get out. Theres also a tightness, discomfort in my chest. Ive had my heart checked in the last couple years and didnt have any problems. I can play with my grandchildren and go up and down stairs fine. Just the shower. I have similar pain sometimes after eating and have suspected a hiatal hernia. Ive never had upper GI tests, but have been prescribed heartburn medicine.


I am a student in a university and I have taken psychology classes and such, and I was wondering about my mental state. Now i know that may be weird to ask but I need to know if a have anxiety disorder or something because of my past and how do I stop being the way I am.I want to start by saying I have had a hard childhood. The asian culture I grew up in was very demanding so I feel as if now that Im on my own living and supporting myself without my parents completely...the things i experience are because of my past and i just am not consciously aware of it. My parents never told me they were proud of me and I was always not the best...I was never good enough for my parents even though in reality I was above average in school all the time. The past four years have been difficult and i have just recently moved out two months ago. My parents and I were able to try to mend things together and I got close and dependent on my parents and then they got mad and left me over and over...they never stayed the same. WHat I mean by leaving me...I mean disowning me...stop talking to me...etc. Im in a wonderful relationship with a guy I will probably marry in the future. I want everything to be well, but I have concerns. My boyfriend is wonderful, but I get scared for no reason that Im going to lose him. Sometimes because Im afraid he will find someone better. Im so insecure and I dont have any reason to be and I know that i dont have reasons to be but i am and I dont know why. In addition, I feel so sad and sometimes mad- but more sad- when things dont go as planned. Its almost like I am so uptight and stiff and not flexible like I know I am. I want to know why I act like this. I get periods of sadness as well even when I have no reason to be. Im really happy out of my parents house. But i have the concerns I have listed above.  Also...if this is all because of my past, how do I let go of the past? How do I stop my mind from thinking too much negatively?thanks

HI , my name is Evi, I am 40, and I had a Hysterectomy a few years ago because of cancer, and I am on hormone pills.Last  month while working at my job, I was not looking where I was going and ran into the corner of a cardboard box , and bruised my left breast, it did not leave a mark. My left breast is still sore, and there is a kinda  hard place in my breast. I went this long with out having my breast looked at because I thought I would go away like all bruises.   I have told my husband about this and he looked up my symptoms online, and told me it might be what is called a deep tissue bruise or a breast contusion, that takes a long time to heal. This worries me alot, because it has not healed, and plus having cancer once. Could this type of bruise become cancer?This has me so worried.Hope you can help me . thanks


About three weeks ago, my calf was swollen, red, and itchy after a 7 hour car ride from SF to LA. I also noticed there was a lump/bump beneath my skin at the location of the swelling and a noticeable warmth at the site. I waited a couple of days to see if the swelling would go away but when my condition stayed the same, I went to an urgent care center. They ruled out DVT based on my symptoms and they suggested it was an infection of some sort and prescribed me an antibiotic, which I never took. I wasn t 100% confident with their prognosis since there was no open wound/bite mark of any sort and the itch felt like it was beneath the skin and not topical as scratching did not alleviate the discomfort. Over the next few days, my lower leg became increasingly swollen and the bump moved to my inner calf/leg. When I noticed my ankle started to swell, I went to the ER to get an ultrasound and it too came back negative for DVT. Long story short, over the next two weeks, the lump/bump, which is now more of a mass the size of a child s fist, has migrated. What started as swelling from my lower calf has migrated to my inner calf, up to my knee, up to inner thigh, front of the thigh, and now, at the three week mark, it is on my hip. The mass is still warm to the touch, itchy, and has also left slight bruising and small residual bumps along it s path. I have been to my family doctor twice since going to the ER and he has no idea what it is or what could have caused it. He has referred me to a rheumatologist and am now waiting for my HMO insurance to approve it before I can see her. I have been stressing about this for weeks without any answers. Please help!

Flew off a jerski and hit my left side hard! Possible fractured ribs, that I know there isn t much you can do for them. My concern is the popping, bubbling feeling I have under my left breast, where the rib pain is. It is very difficult to move at all and deep breathing is painful. I am using pain meds to cope, but do I need to be concerned about the popping, gurgling feeling in there?


Sure, thank you very much. I am a man, 6 1 tall , 210 lbs, fairly active, 50 yrs of age. I have been bothered by shoulder pain, ( non dominant Shoulder ) for about 6 weeks. I cannot really remember how I hurt it, but it bothers me quite badly. I don t have any loss of motion or range issues. From what I can determine, it appears, at least according to the various web-sites, to be Frozen Shoulder. I am concerned that it could be a probelm with one of the Rotator Cuff Tendons, but I not sure. Once I move the shoulder it gets better, and does not bother me as much. There is slight pain in the top of my arm, Deltoid, and when I move it a little more rapidly, I can hear the joint clicking ...Your thoughts?


I am a 48-year-old female who exercises regularly.  However, during exercise on exertion only, I experience severe chest pain/tightness that radiates down my left arm into my wrist.  I have to stop exercising, breath slow for it to subside.  I also experience occasional palpitations (any any given time) that feels like an \"air-bubble\" coming up and I have to cough to get the \"normal\" feeling back? I have jhistory of pneumothoraces & pericardial cysts (resection surgery 1x). No sure if all related or cardiac related?

Hi me and my husband have been trying to have a baby for last 6 months. We both are working at different place and not living together.

She gave an injection and we kept contact for next 3 days. But That month also i got my periods. Can u guide me on next step. Is too early for me to go to doctor for check ups for me and my husband.

I am 23 and in law school currently. I was diagnosed with ADHD about 5 or 6 years ago. I took Concerta (54 mg) just about the entire time. Recently (last few weeks) my doctor changed to Methylin (20 mg/day) because insurance was giving us problems with Concerta. The Methylin really did not do anything for me. I saw my primary care physician in December, and discussed this. I told her side effects from the Concerta (cannot sleep, no appetite, mood swings, etc. common from what I have read about Concerta). She then wanted me to try 20 mg of Methylin in the morning, 10 mg in the evening because of the long days I need to be focused in law school. Anyway, getting to the point of my question (I wanted to provide background the best I could). Since I have switched, I have actually found the new medicine to work. It is not as, umm not sure how else to put this but, punch you in the face, like Concerta can be. It is more even throughout the dosage. BUT, I have been having terrible, terrible headaches since I have been taking it. On the bottle, it says that is a side effect. I am wondering if this is a normal side effect. If this is normal, is there anyway to stop it aside from taking Tylenol, Advil, etc.? They usually do not even touch it. I take 2 rapid release Tylenol, and another about an hour later because it is still killing me. Should I see a doctor or is this completely normal?

Hello, my name is Deanna.Ever since I had my dentures relined last December... I have been experiencing many conditions.  First my gums are very itchy and raw.  I thought this symptom would get better so I continued to wear the dentures.  Its been 3 months now and the symptoms are getting worse.  Still the itchy raw gums, and having more and more sinus problems, I also have itching in the ear and itchy skin.  I first thought I was having allergies and tried every kind of allergy medicine, nothing worked.  Then tried Benadryl, it helps for small periods of time, then all symptoms come back.  My sinus and ear problems continue to worsen.  Ive been doing a process of elimination and concluded it all started when I got my dentures relined.  What can I do?

Only when i get hurt on my body a purple colour spot occurs and after some period of time say after six or seven days it gets lighten and disappears.my bleeding time also appears to be normal.I have been married since 7 yrs and have 2 children.earlier my platelet count used to stay within the range of 25-30 thousand,but since last 2 yrs it remains within 10-15 thousand.when iwas 11 yrs i had undergone a platelet transfusion & bone-marrow testing (the report for my bone marrow was ok),but it did not help in increasing the count.my spleen X-ray is also normal but since we have heard that the platelet count between 10-15 thousand is not normal & can cause any risk at anytime, so i just wanted to ask u what type of treatment i should follow.i dont want to undergo any surgeries or any transfusions any more & would prefer going through an ayurvedic treatment, so please suggest what should i do. I m taking only homeopatChatDoctoredicine for this problem and also other problems if i get like cold, cough,fever etc but i m affected with these problems very rarely.I have never taken any allopatChatDoctoredicine for my platelet problem due to the fear of side effects.

My 9 year old son woke up with a headache this morning which then developed into a fever 101.4 . Tylenol only helps until 30 minutes before his next dose. Then it goes back up. He has the chills and a fever and a stuffy nose. What could it be? Mono? Influenza? Sinus infection?Thanks, Worried Mom


my 4 year old son has a very rounded ball of skin (now approx 3/4mm on his inside lower lip.

He has a fungal toenail infection in each toe on one foot which doesn t seem to be going despite topical medication - he s had it well over 2 years but is otherwise very healthy and fit. What is it?

Hi Dr. Goyal, I was recently had a CT scanned with some findings on the following


I have bad allergies and asthma, i sneeze alot and cough from asthma. The past few days days i have been getting pain on the left side of my upper back area and i have been having pain in my chest area and i am very shaky and it  hurts when i breathe. What could be causing this?


I have chronic bad breath and I think it is caused by food particles getting caught somewhere behind the uvula  or where my nasal passage meets my throat , not sure,and the food breaks down into a sort of foul smelling paste as it is lodged there out of sight.This horrible smelling paste appears as tiny bits about the size of 1/3 of a rice kernel or smaller . These bits will dislodge and fall down the back of my throat , maybe 3 to for bits  once every 4-6 weeks . I spit them out but I know there is more stuck back there because my breath smells like the broken down food substance I have spit out.I am so mortified frustrated with this disgusting issue ! Thank youThis has been going on for at least 20 years but I was able to mask the foul smell with mints and mouthwash but now the smell is constant.

I have a lump on my shoulder blade For the past several months it has been hard, about the size of a small marble and not painful.

My husband was diagnosed with stage 3 renal cell carcinoma 6/2011. His left kidney was removed. In 3/2012 a second surgery removing more of the renal vein was necessary and was found to be cancer; however it was deemed successful because margins were negative. Two spots in lungs were found this January a repeat ct scan shows no additional growth but mentions at least two hypodensity areas in liver. Are hypo densities a concern for liver metastasis?

I am a 37 yr old man. After a recent abdominal/pelvis MRI with contrast I was told that I had a 5mm benign cyst in the right lobe of my liver. How can they be sure it is benign, simply via MRI Imaging? I had one CT of the Abdomen/Pelvis 2 years prior and another 5 years prior. Neither of these CTs showed this cyst. Why did it suddenly show up now and can I be sure its not metastatic cancer?

Hi my name is Jessica Potvin and i have family members in my family whom are bipolar and i am experiencing alot of problems within the last year that i would like to ask. First off i am 25 years old and i have 3 little boys. I am constantly fighting with my Husband over stupid things. I tend to cry alot when he says something to me that is not even mean. I also tend to tnrow things when i get angry and just hollar for no reason at all. My moods change frequently and i dont know why. One minute i will be watching tv very happy and the next i feel very irritable and crabby and that i have to do something. I feel sad most of the time and i do not sleep very good at night. just having my hair touch my face wrong sets me off. I would like to be able to discuss issues with my husband but every time we try it seems that i become very angry and start hollering and crying and thinking that i am the worst person in the world. I love my boys very much and i get very angry at them to the point where i feel annoyed and want to scream. I have really bad hot flashes, feel very lazy most of the time with spurts of uncontrollable energy. I see a doctor on the 14th but i just want an opinion of what to expect. I never give myself credit for anything and i constantly feel like whatever i am doing is wrong. I am just tired of my spurts affecting me being happy and letting my family be happy also. please let me know what you think. thank you

Im a 48 1/2 yr old female experiencing dull pain at the right side belly button which feels worse about 30 minutes after eating. I feel almost all the time. I moticed it about 6 weeks ago but feels worse now. My right ovary was removed 7 years ago during a complete hysterectomy, although the left ovary remains. I went to a doctor who took an abdominal x-ray and blood work and found that my appendix looked normal, and no elevated white blood cell count, although he did find a renal stone that has since passed. I had my last colonoscopy 3 years ago with only a non-cancerous polyp found in the rectum. Im very concered, to the point of not eating. Can you help me, please? Thank you.

I have had this issue for 2 years and my doctors still aren t sure what is going on.My lower legs swell, are discolored, warm and tender, with pain shocks lasting only seconds. I have RA and had a tendon replaced in my foot 5 years ago. I had tests ran by a vein specialist, shows no clots, GOOD blood flow and heart beat. My doctor says no infection or diabetes. The vein specialist said leaking veins.This continues to get worse. I was taking Cimzia for my RA and have stopped for 5 weeks now under doctors direction. Still no relief. I have been taking methotrexate still for RA.


I had total knee replacement 8/13/2012. I had an infection when staples weere removed and my knee came open wirh infection. I was a long painful process Since then I have had two episodes of minor infetion in same leg I recently had an indo bone can which saw infection on or near artificial knee . What can I expect from Dr Goytier?
