I had root canal therapy last year but could not afford it so the office sent me home with out putting a crown on it and with a temporary filling to cover the hole. Two days ago that filling came out. I still can not afford the dentist . I was curious as to how dangerous my situation is or isn t. Also if there is any sort of filler or sealant I could purchase my self to fill the hole safely and to keep out any infection. I also need to know the best way to keep the open hole clean until I figure out what to do. Thank you.

In the past couple of months I have increased fatigue, my ankles have started to swell and I feel bloated. I have gained some weight, but I have not changed my eating habits. I take medication for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and restless leg syndrome. I started taking Prestique for anxiety, even though I know it is primarily an antidepressant. The fatigue, swelling and bloated feelings have me really concerned.


Why does a dr. insist on parkinson s diagnosis, when all symptoms relate to patient s physical problems? Example; shuffling gait is from no knee cartilage in rt knee, no rt arm swing when walking is due to rotator cuff surgery when 21 yrs old (now 65), and rt arm tremor also from rotator cuff (both since surgery). If a patient did not have these causes of symptoms I could understand a suspicion of parkinson s, but his dogmatic insistence leads me to believe he is either following orders of his drug company patrons, or he is short-sighted (to put it kindly). He prescribed carbadopa, which will lead to parkinson s if I don t have it, and will eventually kill me. Your thoughts, Dr?

hi i was diagnosed about 8 months ago with patellar tendonitis. it started in my left knee and i was prescribed 2x months of PT. after the treatment was up, the pain began to shift to my other knee - now its in both again. ive been icing almost daily, not exercising and its getting worse. symtoms are constant popping of the knee, burning feelings after standing for too long, more pronounced pains when bending the knee, and the knees often feel hot/swollen. icing does help, but only to relieve the pain. thoughts?


I was in a car accident about 5-6 weeks ago where the airbags deployed and I suffered chest wall injuries. I was treated at ER. Chest x-ray was normal as was a follow up x-ray a week later. The pain is gone pretty much though I still get a little pressure at times. However, I have an irritating cough and feel minor tightness with breathing that hasn t gone away. I am getting enough oxygen and can breathe deeply, but the shallow breathing is still causing me to cough and be just a little lightheaded. I m still under care of a doctor. He told me it s from the bruising to lungs and chest (but no more serious injuries were found) and that it will take time to heal. I just need to rest. Reading online under chest wall injuries I don t find many people that have this issue well after the accident. I can get relief from the cough and minor breathing irritation when I rest but it returns with any movement. It wears me out. I do have a history of bronchitis and asthma when I get the bronchitis but have never smoked.

hi, just over 2 years ago whilst pregnant at 27 weeks my blood pressure plummeted and i ended up in hdu, and in hospital for over 2 weeks until my blood pressure began to increase. It stayed at 70/30, and then increased to 80/40. Originally they tested me for Addisons Disease, but this came back normal. This gave me vertigo symptoms and what i called a skippy heart. An ECG was carried out as well as an ultrasound of my heart and despite a slight irregular beat, nothing was seen as significant. During childbirth I had electric shock feeling down both arms and legs to my hands and feet and then it was gone. After this I have had constant tingling and burning in my hands and feet. I have been to the doctors and had a nerve conduction test but to no avail. The doctor has told me to except it as one of those things that nobody knows. Until now I have but the burning and tingling sensation in the hands and feet are getting worse, as is my fingers are clicking and feel like they need to crack or are in the wrong place. This i can handle to a degree, but I keep getting the skippy heart feeling which makes me feel panicky and weak. What should I do next? I ve made an appointment at the docs for next monday but do not know really what to say apart from the above. Please help, as I am now beginning to get anxiety about going out without someone in case anything happens. I am a professional with a good job, social life etc but frightened of this sensation. I had gestational diabetes when pregnant, although high ketones and low sugars mainly. My mum is type 1 and dad type 2.


Hello. I have a tiny hard colorless painless lump on the tissue of my anus today.

My blood pressure has always been stable at 120/75 even during pregnancy and the most stressful times.  I have recently been to get a repeat prescription of my HRT - Femiston 2/10mg and my pressure check showed as 152/100.  This is obviously high, what could have caused it.  I have to go back for another check in 3 weeks.

Hi. I m experiencing extreme breast tenderness and a heavy feeling in them. I am also having what I would consider extreme food cravings. Also some mild nausea but no vomiting. I had a tubal ligation almost 4 years ago. Is it possible that I could get pregnant anyway?


Well, I used to be on the depo shot. Only received 2 injections. My last was the beginning of december. I started on a regular cycle (for me) in march. At the start of may me and my partner have started to have unprotected sex. At the end of may (26th) I got what should have been my period. It was more of a brownish pink discharge and really only saw it when I wiped. I had that for about 4 days. Two weeks later I had some more of that discharge which lasted 3 days. With that one I started to get weird symptoms. My breasts feel sensitive, nausea, light cramping, back ache, uncomfortable to sleep on stomach, can t even wear tighter jeans around the waste, weird feeling in uterus, and some pulling more in the upper stomache area. I took a hpt last tuesday (negative. Then did a blood one at the doc (negative). Now the 21st close to when I m suppose to start my period, I m getting the same discharge. Still having those symptoms. But now with gas, and an increased appetite. I don t want to say I m pregnant, that would just get my hopes up. So what do you think?

They like trying to destroy youth s bodies.

Hi, Ive been having a productive cough for a few months now. I get it once a day, about 1-2 hours after Ive woken up and I have a chesty cough on and off for an hour. Recently Ive taken up a really hard workout session that I do for 40 minutes, 6 days a week and my chest and sinuses seem to have gotten worse the more I do. As well as the productive cough once a day, I now have a constant feeling of mucus stuck at the back of my nose and throat, almost like Im at the end of a cold, but Ive not had the cold. My nose is dry, so Im not blowing anything out and coughing only eases the mucus on my chest, not my nose. Any ideas? Is there anything I need to change in my bedroom? Also, the house has a lot of dust (all the houses on our road have the same problem) and we have parrots too, would any of those factor into this?

My 4 year old has swollen lymph nodes on her neck, just under her ears, and she says it hurts there. When I look at her throat the sides (tonsils?) are swollen and red, though no white spots and I can see her epiglottis. Strep has been going around her preschool, but when I called concerned to make a sick visit appointment the nurse told me it was probably viral b/c her fever was only 100 degrees. Concerned it is strep presenting without a fever, as I ve heard this can happen. Is there risk to having her not treated quickly if it is strep? Does it sound like routine illness or should i be worried?

Hello. My 16 week old baby girl has had a few short black hairs in her stools occasionally. The stools are also a bit mucousy, and sometimes a little bit frothy. She passes wind fine. She passes stools usually about once a day on average. She is fully breastfed. Where are the hairs coming from?? I saw something online that they could be amino acid chains?!? Also, my husband has a hairy chest with very dark hairs. Could it be coming from there, and if so, could it harm her? Thankyou.

I had open heart surgery almost 10 months ago. Everything was okay until about 6 months after surgery. As for my heart, my cardiologist assured me that everything was okay. The symptoms that I shared with him were, very very tired. I could sleep all the time. I had a cough, that seemed to be worst in the morning but it could start anytime without any warning, occasionally night sweats, lost weight, from 190 to 160 and no appetite. He told me these symptoms had nothing to do with my medication or my heart. I had blood work and I am anemic. I was put on iron and vitamin D. What could be wrong with me? Thank you

I have had severe back pain at S1 . I may get back pain also around the thoracic region. I am not on any Rx s. I am feeling the pain at this point intermittently. I am working with a physical therapist, and I am at 9 visits with the therapist. I have history of hypothyroid issues. I want to be pain free, and without medication just like I was before this started. I was in a slip n fall accident in 2014 and an auto accident in 2016. The auto accident resulted in surgery of my right leg due to fractures to the tibial plateau, tibia, patella, and a torn lateral meniscus. My gait is unusual, and it has changed. I am happy that I am walking now.

hi, i m in early stage of jaundice where my blood test results are given below


I had a lumbar/sacral MRI scan(pars view) done 15/06/12 after I eventually got to see a specialist on 11/05/12. He told me I have a slipped vertebra above sacrum and demonstrated on a plastic spine . He also mentioned that nerves were misfiring causing abnormal muscle tension in glute and hamstring and other leg muscles going unused.( I have been doing physio to strengthen thighs. I had arthroscopy , debridement and removal of bone cysts 2008. Cartilage damage in left knee then only stage2, right a little better). I have not got my scan results. The extreme discomfort in lower back stabbing and wrenching pains in hip and odd numbness side of left leg worsening steadily.I cannot find a comfortable position to sleep. Any activities are severely unpleasant. I have an active job in retail and I find I cannot do things at pace anymore as I cannot tolerate sudden movements .I find bending down to access low objects a torture which I have to force myself to do. This makes me urinate too frequently, strangely lifting heavy objects is not any more painful than the bending.( When I first started having back symptoms I thought it was severe cystitis and even had a course of antibiotics.) Walking to and from work is also a torture. I cannot even handle sitting in one position for very long esp on hard chairs. Luckily I do not have the opportunity to sit at work except for on a kickstep (I work 50hrspw ave). I still go to gym about once a week where I was told the leg press is helpful. I choose my activities carefully but still like to push!! My current pain relief daily is up to 400mg tramadol, 240mg cocodamol,2 naproxen(crap) omeprazole and now amytriptiline25mg evening and I still get breakthrough pain( and I am now a cabbage). I need treating as I am getting worse, I dont think resting works particularly either. How do I proceed?? I have only been offered a phone appt with specialist for fri 6/7/12 for 10 mins. I asked diagnostics to send scan to gp but they failed at that too. I cannot concentrate as I can t get comfortable. What should I do???????? How is it acceptable for a working person, who pays ni, to be fobbed off and not given any specific info or advice just some meds. I do feel the slip is not stable and wondering what may happen next...should I obtain my own copy of mri??


had blood tests which showed that i have a low level of folic acid. my doctor was very vague about what causes this. i am 52 year old female. i wonder if you could tell me more as i have been extremely tired for weeks hence the reason for the blood tests

Is this just to get pain under control or would she be in final stages? This has happened so quickly please advise


Hi! i read this statistic online. Of all those people diagnosed with stage 3 nasopharyngeal cancers, 6 out of every 10 will live for at least 5 years. (It may make more sense to think of it as 60 out of every 100, which is the same thing.) Does this mean the patient will not be able to live after 5 years?


I am pregnant and have been diagnosed with an assumed optopic pregnancy. My doc wants me to take one very low dose of methotrexate to help move things along.

Do you think I could pump and dump and resume nursing within a month or so? Please let me know. Thanks you!

I have a lump I believe to be a cyst in my left breast behind my nipple and it causes my whole body to ache. I had a breast exam last May and it seemed normal. I also had a hysterectomy in May this last year. The pain lasts for a few days and then goes away for about 2 weeks then it comes back.

She told me she cant drive and now she is driving and out of control. What do I do?

My 53 year old husband had a total thyroidectomy in November, followed by 6 weeks of IMRT radiation treatments in Jan & Feb. He has been on Levo at 150 since the surgery. His last blood work in April showed TSH at 0.2, T4 at 1.5, and thyroglobulin at 1.1. He has been supplementing with iodine at 12.5 mg to increase energy levels. He has another scan on July 30th and is taking Cytomel for 4 weeks now, then stops that for 2 weeks prior to the scan. Last 5 days before the scan he has to avoid iodine containing foods. Should he stop the iodine supplements now? Could this affect his blood tests adversely?

I have a mild redness on my foreskin and aching testicles. Doctors have tested for STIs and have been told Im all clear. I had unprotected sex with a female and oral sex with a male in August 2013.

Other problems I currently have is a sore back and itchy feet. Just incase they are related.


hi my partner is 43 years old, she was told about 8 months ago she had pancreatic cancer . It was decided a whipple op was possible for her. But the op was aborted after the surgeon spotted cancer on her liver that didnt show up on the scan. She just had her gaul bladder removed and they stiched her up. She was then put on an intence 6 month course of cheemo. But we ve just had results of a 3 month scan after 6 sessions of cheemo. The cancer hasn t shrunk or increased.

After talking with her doctor, shes decided to stop cheemo to give her body a chance of recovery and to give her a better quality of live before the inevitable. What i want to know is, How long are we lookin at, weeks months or years? How many? Thanks

My daughter gave birth in early Nov.  She had trouble with milk production, so doctor prescribed reglan, which she has been taking since then.  Last week in a blood test on Jan 3rd, her liver enzymes were high; they were even higher in a second blood test on Jan 6th.  She has been drinking a lot of gatorade to stay hydrated after giving birth.  Could this be part of her problem?  Tests have ruled out Hep B & C.  Doctor has taken her off reglan as of Jan 6th.  She has also started having dry heaves in the morning and sometimes nauseous in the afternoons.  She is not pregnant.


I started my birth control pill pack on April 12, and took my pill at 9


Hi Dr, Hope all is well. I have recently been diagnosed with Factor V for blood clots (Thrombosis) My GP advised me not to go onto the birth control pill. As i am getting married soon i went to n Gyne (New Dr) and he said no its fine i can go onto Yasmin as i have used it before as a teenager and nothing happened he insisted that the Factor V test was unnecessary and claimed that 9 out of 10 people have it.... I have been taking the pill for a week now but have been experiencing numbness and pain in my legs. I also have Lupus so pain is not something new to me. This feels different tho, legs feel stiff, weak and uncomfortable. Please can you advise Best Regards Monique

Two weeks ago this saturday, we discovered that my 5mo old son has red papul-like spots only on arms and legs. He did however have a couple on face but nothing like arms and legs. Blood work was done and urinalisis and everything looks normal. Almost looks like some type of insect bites like fleas. But it went away for a couple days, and is now back. I am so frustrated! He has eczema and allergic to peanuts. But he only gets formula and/or breastmilk and some rice cereal. Allergist says it could be a form of hives. But they are too symmetrical (circles) for me to believe they would be hives.

A long story that I will try to make short.  Six year old child with six days of high fever 103-104 in November.  a week later she started to complained of chest pain.  She complained a few times over two weeks. took to doctor and saw cardiologist.  xray normal, echo normal and holter monitor for 24 hours was normal.  end of December no more chest pain for about two weeks.  Chest pains returns and ped. says may be gastro try tums.  First week on Tums still frequent chest pains lasting from 10 sec. to a minute.  Then three weeks chest pain free.  saty on tums for another week and stop.  Week later chest pain returns but more intense and often (15 times per day).  Make an appt. with ped. gastro but have to wait 1.5 months (appt. tomorrow).  Chest pain is persitent during this time.  Then for the past 6 days she has once again a high fever (103-104) with fatigue.  Ironically the chest pains seems to subside but still there occasionally.  Ped. said possible respitarory infection as she heard slight whizzing.  Started antibiotic today.  Are these fevers and chest pain related?

I Have 2 BULGING Disks In my back and suffer from pain most days and nights. I ve been on Norco 10/325 for 3 years (4) per day for three years. They just simply did not work anymore and my doctor gave me Percocet 10/325 as a new medicine to try. They seem to really work a lot better / still (4) times a day. Just wondering how much stronger are they than Norco and I am always worried about how much more addictive could these pills be than Norco. I have heard and witnessed somebody go through Oxycontin withdrawal when he was tapering down to get off the pain pills. It scares me cause sooner or later and I am going to have surgery and get off the 4 Percocet I take a day. Please advise!

My dad had a major heart attack and he is on life support ventilator and done angioplasy .Now doctor is saying he is improving but little by little but still critical .Also now he has some water bubbles in lungs which they are saying they are precuring.


The culture shows I have proteus mirabilis. I am allergic to all antibiotics except Doxycycline Hyclate Oral. The culture susceptibility results did not list that as one of the treatments . Is there any combination of natural remedies that could fight this? My primary care doctor states I cannot take any of the antibiotics on the susceptibility list that printed with the lab culture. Are there any non-antibiotic remedies? ie. cranberry juice? probiotics? Doxcycline almost helped, but then I got worse. I have been running a low grade fever for the last 3 weeks. Bronchitis type illness will not go away hence the cultures. (Had minor cancer surgery June 15th, this developed about 4 wks later while undergoing radiation. Any out of the box ideas/suggestions could save my life! Please help. If you would extend your support I will provide you any other personal medical details.

My friend had an abortion done last year some time. She didn t have it done @ a clinic or hospital. She bought the abortions pills by someone, did it @ home and never went to hospital or clinic or seen any doctor after that. She never had a womb scrub or whatever. About a month ago she found out she s pregnant. The day after that she started bleeding but didn t think anythong of it as they say that it is normal to bleed in your first trimester. However, when she eventually decided to go see a doctor they did a pregnancy test and it showed negative. Is this a result of a miscarraige or what?

Hi All, I hope you are doing well! I am in rewa(mp), I have my brother who is suffering from epilepsy from a quite long time (around 16 years). In childhood he slipped on a stone during playing cricket. After one month we realized that he is suffering from fits. During those days we showed him to local good neurosurgeon, he took care of him but we didn t get any development in his injury. After that when fits were continuously coming twice in a month. My father took it very seriously n showed him to another neurosurgeon in jabalpur, he referred my brother for CT scan. We did whatever he said, we followed his course of tegritol n other medicines for around 3-4 years but didn t get better results. Meanwhile we took a appointment in AIIMS Delhi, there also we showed his results and as per docters advice we did his ECG. We followed AIIMS doctor course for around 4-5 years but also didn t get any results. Meanwhile my brother who was taking around 900 mg medicines on a daily basis was felt very week in his studies. My father was very disappointed during those days. That time we heard few similar cases got resolved by the Dr Kartekein (Neurosurgeon specialist) of Allahabad, my father did not lose his hope and another time we showed my brother and his all reports to him. We are in his course for almost 9-10 years but also did not getting any results. My brother was a bright student in his primary education but due to this epilepsy (fits) he has to sacrifice his whole career in it. His dream was to become Docter but due to these heavy dosses he is now a student of BA only. We have lost our hopes but i saw the reviews of your cases and is expecting some better result from you. My father is clerk in govt. Sector. Please let me know if can solve this case and help us from this curse. Please also let me if you need any reports of my brother, i ll send you through emails or if any appointment can workout. Really appreciated your help! Regard, Sandeep Rawat
