On Saturday the 4th of march I woke up with tender breasts and the following week I had brownish discharge. I didn t take this very seriously until it continued. I then decided to take a pregnancy test where I discovered I was 3-4 weeks pregnant. The next evening I was in bed asleep and woke up with excoriating pains almost biting through my arm unsure of the situation my partner rushed me to hospital. I was in so much pain I thought I was about to die. It was at that moment I was told it may be an ectopic pregnancy and that I would have to be rushed into surgery. 1am surely this could not happen ? Well it didn t I was given all the pain medication and taken to a room where I would sleep and in the morning I would go get checked. By the time morning came I felt almost better I could walk again I was feeling fine - I had the scan and the doctor picked up that I had a 5cm cyst on my right ovary but thought that I wasn t in as much pain to have an ectopic. My pregnancy was still very early and so my readings were very low and unable to show any signs of a baby how ever there was a concern. The next day I went in for what I thought would be a DNC and came out completely shocked that I had double trouble a cyst on my right ovary and a ruptured ectopic pregnancy on my left Fallopian tube. Both removed. it was also very much of a shock that I was 8 weeks pregnant and not 2-3 weeks like everyone had thought. My question is what are my chances of ever having another ectopic pregnancy because I am so nervous to ever try again one day in the fear that I will go through this again. I am so scared that I am not worthy of myself if I cannot have children and I will feel as if I m letting my partner down too.

Dear Dr, I have a constant cough. I had a sinus infection a little over a month ago that required 3 courses of antibiotics to get rid of it. After this I began taking a over the counter med to alleviate post nasal drip aller-fex . This is a Costco product. I have allergies and am wondering if I am having an allergic reaction to this over the counter med? I have been coughing so much i have now hurt my back. I am not coughing anything up it is a dry constant cough. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

My 73 year old father had a direct laryngoscopy on 8-1-2014. Afterwards in recovery he complained of burning pain in his back and there was a red square on his skin where he said it hurt. on 8-10-2014 we took him to the ER with pain in his back and side and they said he had pneumonia. During the next few weeks after several more trips to the ER and two to his Family Physician and two stays in the hospital treating pneumonia, all with constant back and side pain on 9-6-2014 an xray of his chest to look for pneumonia (again) exposed a T6 and T7 compression fracture of the spine that was acute. Is there something in this procedure that caused this fracture? He walked into the procedure and lived independently at home before the procedure with no complaints of pain. he does have osteoporosis which this ENT knew of before the procedure. He had a clear chest xray and was released by his family doctor for the procedure on 7-18-2014. From 8-1-2014 to 9-6-2014 he progressively worsened with pain to the point of walking leaned over at a 90 degree angle and now he cannot walk and will be in long term care. Did this procedure cause his fractures?


I had an MRI of brain and orbits that indicated a meningioma behind the right orbit. This has caused my vision to go from 20/40 to 20/100 in 6 months. Wondering if surgery to remove the tumor would allow my vision to return to normal. YYYY@YYYY


Before my husband and I married he admitted that he had OCD. When he was young he had compulsions to complete acts or something bad would happen . Even now, when taking sips of water sometimes something doesn t feel right and he will have to repeat the act until it feels okay . He admitted to having unwanted sexual thoughts earlier in life. A few years before we met he was viewing porn regularly and started using prostitutes. He admitted to having cheated on me in order to have sex. We went to counseling and he is committed to the relationship, and states he has never turned back to old behavior. He made an agreement in front of the counselor that if he watches porn or has sex with a prostitue (or other) he must tell me within two hours. However, when we are in public he has a constant looking problem . It has disturbed me to the point that complete healing (from the cheating and other behaviors) can t take place. I am beside myself. I have told him I think it is related to the OCD, but he claims he is not even aware of it. Other times he says if he is diligent of being aware of looking in every moment he can control it, but any distraction will make him forget and go right back to it. It is sad to him because he feels that no matter how well he does there will always be something I am not happy with, and he really has worked hard to deal with his compulsions. The problem for me is that I have started to dread going places with him. We both like to go to the gym, and to travel, and I am losing my joy in doing so because of the constant, repeated glances at other women. I explained it might be normal to look at beautiful people, but many, continual glances are not normal (and not respectful to me). We are married now and many aspects of the marriage are quite wonderful, connecting, intimate and joyful. We both want this relationship to work. Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hello. I am 48 years old and have been experiencing pre menopause symptoms for some time now.  Within the last two years, I have been experiencing SEVERE  mood swings like I never imagined anybody could.  This includes crying out of the blue, like a baby and there is no ceasing it. Also SEVERE angry outbursts at anyone and everyone, including towards myself, and those alike are non-stoppable. I feel evil, ashamed and remorseful, but it doesnt end.  These swings come and go, whenever, and have debilitated me greatly and put much stress on my relationship; they have also had an effect on how I feel about myself. I have been in treatment with a Psychiatrist and Psychologist and on medication.  I have recently been diagnosed with BPD.  I cannot help but wonder though if it is not more hormone related since I have never been this way before this stage of my life. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

I got a bad lung infection in early November, coughing very bad. Everything cleared up with Biaxin XL, except yellow mucus in the morning that turns to clear mucus shortly after awaking. My throat feels sore, especially these past two days. The back of the throat near the roof of my  mouth only is sore now after gargling with slat water last night.I have a bottle of Biaxin Xl on hand that I was to use back in December if my throat swab came back positive. It came back negative but I have been having these sore throats and yellow or green mucus almost since the first treatment of Biaxin XL in November.I wonder, should I take the Biaxin XL 500 MG twice daily now. I find it difficult to get to my doctors office, being handicapped.

Please Docter, i tested positive to Hepatitis B a year ago but i am not sick in any way. I left for school last year and it was the school s requirement that i present a medical report about myself and this report was to be conducted by the school itself. After their test i was not given any feedback on my health until last two month tha the school s Docter told us in an open forum that some of us had Hepatitis B but that we can not transmit it to anyone. My question is how did i then get infected, What are my chances,what is the way forward and lastly how dangeriouse is tis to my health. Am 28years old with a pregnant wife who is negative. Am also a male. I have not had any treatement


My sister has been very ill for over 5 months now. She had a baby on January 28th this year. And after maybe one month later, she started getting sick. She s had so many symptoms that it s been hard to diagnose. She said it all started after she drank some coffee/cappuccino from Bad Ass Coffee in Albuquerque that was sitting in her car all day. She started by having constant headaches and a pulling sensation in her head and mouth. She started having trouble sleeping. She keeps taking sleeping pills, not only to sleep. But also to try blocking out her pain. Her family has told her not to take sleeping pills. But she won t listen. She s been very weak, and says that she feels like her body is turning into stone. She can t even tell when she s hungry, or when she has to go to the bathroom. She s also been losing weight from not eating much. She s also been having a burning feeling in her stomach, and says it feels like her stomach is being squeezed. She keeps sending me text messages saying she s dying, and telling everyone she loves them. Her husband and 2 older kids (8 and 15) are at their wits end. She s been to several doctors, had multiple blood work and MRI s, and everything keeps turning out negative. Nothing is showing any problems. I can t remember if she s had a CT scan? What can POSSIBLY be wrong? She s scared to death, and she s been an emotional wreck. A recent doctor gave her some sort of antacids etc., but apparently they haven t helped. There s definitely some sort of neurological problem as well, because she always gets twitches and jerking all over her. She s always saying that it feels like something is pulling her down. Our whole family is at a loss for ideas, and we re all very worried. It s nearing 6 months now. It don t look like our family will be celebrating the holiday season this year.


I was put in a hospital for a nervous breakdown they put me on a antiphsychotic and it made my mind weird and I still wasnt relaxed, is that possible? why would they make you take a category of medicine that isnt related to my anxiousness and insomnia? They classified me as schitzophrenic and I dont understand why I am stuck with that and they insisted so much on me taking a drug that was making more problems for me. I was discouraged already from having a faulty nervous system and hyperness and now Im more frustrated and discouraged because It has turned into a phscycotic disease. I never heard voices i never saw things that werent there I never wished any harm on anyone or myself. they asked me those questions over and over, I had just had some real bad dreams and was under alot of financial pressure and wasnt fully sleeping. Can you explain this?

Hi. I had an injury to my right shin over 15 years ago. I hit a fire hydrant as I was riding my bike which caused my chin to get caught in between the two. My chin was facing outwards and the fire hydrant smashed my shin which caused in to push my skin in, as a result I had a slight indentation and severe swollen. Over the years I was told I had nerve damage due to the accident, and I always had a very slight indentation. A few days ago I noticed my shin was very sore. It has been sore for a while but it went away and never thought twice about it. Just recently I go to rub it because it was sore, and I realized I have a massive indentation in my leg. It is very noticeable especially when you feel it. I am confused because it was many years ago and now it is taking affect. Thank you

HI Doctor I have been diagnosed with Typhoid (Widal test). I have started medication from today which include some antibiotics (Formic Xl-200 and Furoxone),  Repral -20 (for stomach problem), vitamin B complex and parasitamol tablets. I am feeling some chest pain once in a while and headache, my throat also feels little swollen. Is there any other medicine or precaution i should take now.


Hello, I am a 20 year old female. I have been having chest pains for about a week now and I am pretty scared about what is wrong. In addition to the chest pains I have been burping a lot weird because I usually don t burp at all, and my left arm down to my middle finger has pains sometimes. I m not sure if that is related because I do hair a lot so for years sometimes my hands cramp up. Also, some background, I have asthma and 2 weeks before this started my asthma had gotten so bad that I had developed bronchitis. The coughing had put a lot of stress on my chest as well but the pain had went away after I took some medication. Some more background is that I had gained around 40 pounds in the last 10 months from inactivity (I used to do sports for 6 years & then stopped). Lastly, I thought the chest pain was from me crying a lot because I had a traumatic event recently and the pain came right after and got worse everyday that I was crying really hard. Sorry it s such a long message but as you can see, I have a lot of factors playing right now so I m really all over the place in terms of finding out what is wrong with me. Thank you in advance!

For 2 days now I ve been having very bad pain in my lower left side of my abdomen. The pain is mainly on the side/front part of my abdomen but also goes to my lower back left side only. This is the second time in 2 months it s happened. The pain sometimes goes to my leg, or if I bend my leg up it causes more pain in my abdomen. Yesterday it went away on its own, but today it started again and the pain has intensified, what could it be? I eat relatively healthy and exercise 4-5 times a week. I m 28 years old, Hispanic 5 2 113 lbs.


I had a seizure last night.  Right before my heart started palpitating and I got really dizzy.  Wondering if this could be related. I am 33 years old.  I had my first seizure 2 years ago during a pregnancy, and a second one last summer, not related to pregnancy.  All 3 times I noted some heart palpitations prior to the seizure.  I also have Vitamin D deficiency.  I am not on any medications other than Vit D supplements.


Its almost a year and a half since I started experiencing severe, but infrequent lower abdominal pain. The pain would last for  2 - 5 mins and would go away. It would then comeback after days, weeks or months. Possibility of inguinal hernia, kidney stones or any major development was ruled out after tests and scans(MRI and ultra sound) . My doctor gave me medicines for urinary infection. But the pain still comes and goes. It is mostly very sharp around the lower abdomen and would increase when I stretch (as in a yoga posture, standing with hands up, bending to the back). I am not able to say if its those testicles causing pain. The pain is usually sharp, around lower abdomen and rarely dull pain around scrotum. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

For many years my husband has suffered with a medical condition, unfortunately I cant remember the name and hes not here to ask.  The problem is he tends to get blisters on his gum in his mouth and now occasionally on his penis.  The doctors/dentist explained that it was a gentic illness and he was prescribed Dapsone Tablets for a couple of years.  He stopped taking them around a year ago, but now the problem has started to emerge.  The Dapsone Tablets kept the problem at bay a little but it never really cleared up and I was just wondering if you have any other ideas of what it may be.

I ve been a type1 diabetic since I was 7. I m now 50. My blood sugar control has been good,using humalog (short-acting insulin) and Lants (insulin for basal blood sugar contro),but I was in an auto accident 8 years ago. I had chronic fatigue just weeks after the accident. Many tests were done, but nothing significant was found. i have had high liver enzymes since the accident, but a biopsy showed no disease. Doctors said, Just live with it. This year i went to an osteopath, who immediately noticed my liver was congested and had structural damage. Even though my hemoglobin A1C tests have been in the mid 6 s, when i get low, my blood sugar will sometimes spike after just 5-10 grams of carbohydrates. other times I m still low after 25 grams of carbohydrates. This happens 1-2 times a week, with no triggers I can anticipate. In talking with a diabetes educator, I learned that this was probably a function of my liver being off. Is there any way I can anticipate how my liver will release sugar, or is it simply a guess and check process? I went to a new endocrinologist last week. When she looked over my labs, she said I should be referred to a liver specialist. Since my A1C levels are good, and I check blood sugars regularly, eat regularly, and do everything according o good diabetes control, she say the only variable is my liver function. She is very concerned about my blood sugar spikes and dips that don t seem to follow the rules. I take milk thistle for my liver, do liver massages and pumps my osteopath taught me, and also use creams and clay for liver support. Is there anything else you can suggest to balance my blood sugar as I get my liver healed? How long does this generally take to get a liver fully functional with enzmes in normal range? Thank you, Jayne

My daughter is 29 and pregnant (only about 6 weeks along). Years ago she had an appendectomy and it seems they left staples inside of her.

I had my four impacted wisdom teeth removed about a month ago. I was given antibiotics before the surgery, ibuprofen and percocet after, and an antiseptic mouthwash both before and after. At the post-operative appointment about a week and a half after the surgery, the dentist said I was healing excellently. For the past week or so Ive been experiencing pain and tenderness (no weeping fluids or anything) in the lower right socket, and for the past day or so its been swollen to the point where there is a visible bulbous lump in the socket and the swelling can be seen as asymmetry of my face. The tenderness has spread to my right jaw bones, and they feel slightly warm. What could be wrong and what should I do about it?

Hi Doctor, Since nearly two years I had slight pain and sensitivity in my upper middle tooth. Recently upon having severe pain, I consulted a dentist and after initial examination he took an xray of the affected tooth. It revealed the bottom of the tooth has completely damaged.

Pus is also appearing in the jaw near the damaged tooth as small bubble. What shall I do, kindly advise me. Thanks, Philip Daniel Abu Dhabi

Yes please, I m pretty sure I suffer from depression , when I feel down I drink to excess, although I am a reasonably heavy drinker anyway. Also I do take drugs casually, mostly cocaine but most weekends. Anyway I ve had a problem with going to the toilet for a number two. I seem to need to go very regularly, and often there is blood , lots of blood, not in the stool but seemingly afterwards. And if I sit there it will just drip for ages. I ve just split up with my girlfriend and am drinking to massive excess, I ve not eaten for 4 days and this problem is worse than ever. Im pretty sure it s alcohol related and I know I need to go to the doctor, but can you tell me what you think it is? I m scared, both sets of grandparents died from cancer , also my father.

I am a 17 year old male currently at sixth form and hoping to either go to uni or the army. i took an online test to see if im depressed, and it said that i MAY (stressed it wasnt a diagnosis, which is why im here) that i may have mild to moderate depression. I am happy sometimes, but then i think about my life and i just think its worthless, like im a pathetic nobody, and i am, quite frequently, thinking about ways i would kill myself. I dont have an urge to do it, but i believe that i would if i hd the willpower or something to drive me. I have had horrifically low self esteem for years, had a spec needs class a few years ago to help and it did, apparently im improving but i cant even ahve an argument without almost getting teary. i need a diagnosis before i go see a doctor to see if it may be real or if its in my head

I have been experiencing re-occuring head colds. The symptoms usually last about 2-3 weeks and started happening in December. They include sore throat, dry cough, runny nose, fatigue, and labored breathing. I have had about 5 cases of the same-exact cold since December and I cannot seem to find relief. My doctor told me to try allergy medication which did not provide relief. I also tried over the counter cold medicine with no results. I have had asthma since I was a child which may explain the breathing difficulties but my health care provider noticed a heart murmur at my appointment last week. I am just wondering if these symptoms could be related with an underlying issue or if there is anyway to relieve my symptoms.

I have an unusual cold sore or canker sore on the underside of my tongue. I have a history of renal cell carcinoma so a biopsy was done. The biopsy came back stating inflammation. I have had this at least 2 months and is very painful and is getting larger. I went to my nurse practioner and she prescribed a miracle mouthwash. This only numbs my mouth for a few minutes and the sore isnt improving any---only getting larger. She says I need to see an oral surgeon. What is your opinion? To me it looks like a big ringworm! Its in the shape of a circle with a round edge and red on the inside.

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?

I had a kidney stone and was in hospital for 2 days. I had a series of IV meds and painkillers before the stone passed.

I ve had this small blister on my lip and as the days progress, more little red bumps on my lip appeared and that caused my lips to swell..this had gone on for 6 days i believe then the swelling went down and the blisters were hardly even noticeable. Two days later, i woke up and my lips began to swell again, appearing very dry and chapped and little red bumps appeared again. I believe it was something i ate that gave me this reaction but i cant seem to find out what it was that i ate. Please help. it is very embarrassing to go out with my lips like this.

I have an assortment of rashes that come and go for no apparent reason.  One severe rash on my left shin improved after steroid pills and lotions.  The other (different) rashes cleared some with the oral steroid until dose was lowered - so dose was increased-with improvement; then decreased with increase of rash again.  Right now, as this afternoon has begun, the rash on my face is starting again.  Is there no solution to this sort of condition?  My hands are really bad and that has been ongoing for over a year.  I wear latex gloves over slathers of vasoline to keep the palms of my hands from developing deep, painful gashes.


I have a 5 year old with severe headache and nosebleeds. He developed a slight rash yesterday after running a low grade fever for 4 days. No fever for 24hr now but bad headache and nosebleeds came on today. My hope is that it is just viral. Should I be concerned it is something more serious?

I have pain in my lower right area, above the hip, and the upper part of my thigh. I don t think it is, but just to be safe, do you think its appendicitis? It hurts when i pee, but not when i generally move or push down on it. It feels a lot like a period cramp , however, my period isnt due for a couple of weeks more or less, because my period is still irregular. Also, the pain in a period cramp usually starts throughout the whole area of my uterus , but then gradually moves to the lower right. Do you think this is appendicitis or just a period cramp? just being safe here.


Had gallbladder removed March 2012. Last 4 months have developed pain under right ribs (lower, almost at the bottom of ribcage), almost constant gas, and I can at times feel my right side twitching. I take Nexium and Carafate for GERD and Welchol when needed for excessive bile , which I get frequently since the GB surgery. I had a colonoscopy (clear) and endoscopy (minor gastritis, 3cm of Barretts and 1 diverticulosis ) last May. Im concerned about the gas and pain under right side lower ribs. It is the same type pain I had prior to gallbladder removal.

I am a 40 yr old female and have had discomfort in the right lower quadrant of my abd, and would describe it as gas-like pain. this has been for 2 days. I am not constipated , bowels are normal. This morning the pain has seemed to change and move around, it feels like its in my coccyx and burns. I did have lapband surgery for weight loss 10/27/11. y only health issue at this time is pseudotumor cerebri which is getting better due to weight loss. Could this pain be kidney stone? I did go to the doctor about 3 weeks ago and they dipped my urine because i felt as if I was getting an infection, same type of pain as described above. There was wbc s no blood, no protein . I took cipro bid for a week, the culture came back normal

my husband is 51 recently he had a pain in his chest . it went away. then a week later he had a fever (he was much hotter to the touch than normal, his temperature was 48.9) and he had mild tremors (he felt cold and shivery) and was breathing quite fast. I have never known him to breathe like this. He felt nauseous, and had a sharp pain behind the eyes whenever he coughed (he has a small dry persistent cough for 2 years now). The next day he went to the doctor and she said he had high blood pressure 160/100 both lying down and standing, he has always had low blood pressure till now, and she thinks this may be caused by the varnish he had been coating the floor with. A week later his BP had gone down to 140/100. I cannot find any internet information which link a mild fever to high blood pressure. His fever has cleared up, but the high blood pressure is still there. Possible background risks may be exposure to ticks recently, a moderate drinking problem (about 1.5 litres of beer daily) and a family history with heart attack (only 1 case, his grandmother at the age of 65) a problem with blood in the stool for twenty years now, that comes when he is stressed, and then goes again.

i have been hospitalized 2x every yr for the past few yrs.  i was dx with rrms in 2008 but they backdated it to 2006 when i first had my symptoms, trying to get help thru my primary physician, then a gastroenterolgist saying i had gastroparesis then a trip to shands.  about 6 months later a lost feeling in my feet and legs resorting to using a cane and being referred to a nuerologist at usf i have been thru all medications shots, tysabri (jc positive), and each of the oral medications.  my body rejected each treatment.  the last was aubagio with 3 hospitalizations this year.when i was taken off this.  I had been on steroids several times to treat my relapses but usf changed doctors and this one isnt easy to get calls returned.  or getting him to visit me in the hospital which is relatively close to his office.  I have been told by this doctor i have progressive ms because of the amount of lesions that are active in my brain- very little brain matter has not been affected by lesions and this past time i had no mobility inmy hips down and was in wheelchair much of my lesions old and none were active and my body was rejecting the medications and i received plasma transfer 5x and over 10 days after 3 days of the steroids before that in the hospital.  within hours of my last plasma transfer i was released.  i have been in a wheelchair for since june and finally this week i asked my home physical therapist to order me a manual wheelchair since i have been getting around house using transport through my primary physician which is being delivered.  I was release from hospital on 6/28th with orders to see my neurologist within 4 weeks but still have not heard back from him to schedule this appointment.  what comes after primary ms?  are there any medications specifically for primary ms rather than the rrms

I am a 57 year old woman, basically very healthy, though I get a lot of colds (probably from my 10 year old students).  I have developed a cough that resonates very deeply in my chest, and, when I lie down, I can hear all sorts of gurgling and wheezing sounds.  I got myself kind of worked up last night, I think, and also had very sharp pains across my chest that did not feel like reflux or indigestion, but certainly could have been. I do have other cold symptoms (needing to blow my nose), but no fever.  As I said, I have had lots of colds in my life, but this one is presenting quite differently from anything I have ever had.  Another factor is that I do have asthma (mold allergy), but it is mild and I only use my inhaler about a dozen times a year.  I live in New England, though, and the mold from wet leaves is probably quite high right now.  Thanks very much for any insight you can give me.

After a lot of treatment medicines and therapy I could start walking again at the end of yanuari 2011. But I still have some pain and little swelling from time to time on my right leg. Since march 2011 I started noticing that every month I get some big red-blue bruises on my right thigh. I lately noticed that the come these last months 1 week prior to me getting my period and remain for 2 weeks at least. Why do I get these bruises? I had a scan of my bloodvessels at the hospital twice, I did a echoduppler, I went to a skin doctor, I did 5 test at the lab and no doctor can figure out what is the cause. They now start asking me if someone has beat me. Unbelievable. Can you help me please with some suggiostions or solution?

Hi. I have 2 small bumps on my penis where the shaft meets the head, one on either side. One is redish and the other has a pearly dome on it, both about 1 mm in size. Neither hurt unless I pick at them which I know I shouldn t do and even then the pain is minute and barely noticeable. The redish one began as a pimple with a white head so I popped it like a pimple and it healed into a redish bump. The white one I recently squeezed some waxy, black head like substance out of but it has gone unchanged completely. These are both a week and a half old and I have zero other symptoms. I know it could be HSV, HPV or syphilis STD wise. I went to the local free clinic and I m waiting on results, I just need an experts opinion in the meantime.
