My 87 year old mother who is a Christian Scientist fell last week. We hired nurses for round the clock care and now her leg is swollen and leaking. (Weeping Edema) She is not able to walk, so I believe it is her hip that is injured. She was transported to a Christian Science Care facility this afternoon so her leg could be elevated and they could take better physical care of her. I read the cause of this Edema could be heart failure or the trauma to the leg. What is the likelyhood of her recovery without surgical/medical intervention? I live across the country and my sister is there with her. I am not sure how to proceed and would appreciate any advise.

Hi I am a 40 year old man who has various symptoms which may or may not be related. I have in the last week been tested positive for Chlamydia to my horror. I received the treatment on saturday and have taken the four pills at once (Zithromax) a dull ache under my right rib towards my back and there appears to be a small lump there too. This lump not getting any bigger but the ache is getting worse. I also have a dull ache in my lower pelvic area still. I am worried that the infection has led to complications elsewhere in my body. I have generally been feeling unwell for a few months but have not been sick or have not lost weight. I have recently lost my mum to cancer and have been too scared to go and get checked out for this. Can you help.

I have been having pain in my left humerus bone about 2-3 inches above my elbow. It is not my heart. An orthopedic dr I was seeing for my knee noticed I had it wrapped with an ace bandage one day. Without any xrays he claimed it was rotator cuff tear and gave me a cortisone shot. The shot helped a lot and I have had it 3 more times since. It helps each time. However, it continues to hurt. Mostly when I am quiet or trying to sleep. I have to have a large pillow to lay it across when I sleep at night. Any idea what this could be? My email is YYYY@YYYY Thank you for your time and thoughts!

I have pain in my hip area and lower back that radiates down both legs. My big toe goes numb all the time. I have hip and groin area. When bending over, I feel so weak and tired in my lower back and legs. When going up stairs, I have to hold onto the railing for fear my knee gives out. I am OK going down stairs. I have muscle spasms all the time in my back and legs and feet. In fact if I sleep 5 hours without waking because of the pain, I am happy. The doctor says that it is just old age. I am a 55 year old female and am usually very active. I have a physical job which I bend, twist and lift light objects from ground level for 8 to 10 hours. After my pain elevates, I feel exhausted. It is not osteoarthritis per a rheumatoid specialist. I am told it is sprain/strain of my lower back. Hip Xrays show nothing.

I got married after my husband died after the we left my new husband had to stop at a clinic my face was swollen and I had a red rash.  He gave me antihistimines for the allergy he thought I had.  That didnt work it just got worse so he took me to another clinic in a couple of days this doc. put me on heavy prednizone which worked after a week all was well.  When I got stressed about having bridge at our house or lots of functions that I was volunteered for by my new husband the itchy eyes, swollen face and redness was back.  It is like the anxiety is coming out of my face horrible.  Back on prednizone I dont like that drug but I have to do something.

I had a baby 4 weeks ago, the second week I was home I developed a fever and had the chills.  It was 75 degrees outside and I had to wear pants and a sweatshirt or I would get cold. I called the doctors and they said if I think I need to be seen to come in I might have an infection.  The fever went away with tylenol and It went away altogether about 3 days later. I didnt go in because they didnt seem concerned. The past couple days I have gotten really lightheaded while standing up. Last night I noticed (4 weeks postpartum) when I get up to feed the baby and Im sitting there feeding him I get a pain in my upper stomach and in my ribs. Kind of like an aching pain that gets worse the longer I sit there.  Today I am experiencing a weird feeling in the back of my throat. I can take deep breaths but I feel like my throat might be swollen and it feels dry when I breath in. I thought maybe did develop an infection and it has changed to pneumonia.  Could that be possible?


Hello Dr, I have been experiencing lower back pressure on each side of my back. Not very painful more of a dull ache and I can feel a pulse in my lower back when sitting or laying down. I also am bloated and have some cramping. This have been going on for about a week now. I have only had runny stools and not very much or often. Do you have any idea what this could be?


Hi. Last Monday I was at work when all of a sudden my upper back area had a burning sensation and then I felt like my sides and chest had pressure. Mostly noticed in my sides and back. Then I felt a little dizzy. Lasted a couple of minutes. I am 51 years old. I quit smoking 10 months ago. I am about 30 lbs overweight.


First light headless starts with blurr vision, then numbness in left arm occurs which also goes to my left hand. After that ends, I get huge pounding headaches for about five hours. Sometimes the pain in head is directed in one area, sometimes all over. Aftr the headache pain decreases, feels like I have some sort of sinus issues, because head is all cloudy. It always happens in this order and has happened to me twice in this one month. Right now I am fine but woke up with left ear pain, this could be unrelated, but felt like stating the issue.


i have been having back pain for the last couple days  I thought I slept wrong  it is located down and on both sides if I were to put my fists directly above my hips in the back it hurts right there sometimes I cant move without pain  if I sit up straight and push my chest out it hurts really bad  not sure if I slept wrong or if it is a kidney infection  I dont want to go to the emergency room if it isnt necessary

Yes. I have bowed legs and I was wondering if I got a brace if that would help straighten permanently? My back is pretty bad and I am 21 years old. By the time I qualify for surgery the extensive damage will already be done. If a brace is a good idea, what type should I get?


Hello my name is Mike and I have no idea whats going on. It feels like theres a tight band around my upper abs and its very uncomfortable. This has been going on and off for awhile but has ben going on for days at the moment. It also feels like its hard to breathe and feels kind of like a gaggy feeling at times without ever throwing up or gagging or anything. I do have anxiety disorder but i dont see how that could make me feel this way. This feeling is very uncomfortable and is ruining my life at the moment. Any ideas as to what this feeling could possibly be would be greatly appreciated.

hi, im 21 and trying to conceive. I have normal periods, I ovulate every month(confirmed through temping my bbt), and I feel like i ve been trying close to a year. I have always been pretty healthy. No, we have not actually had a pre conception check up so I really don t know how good of a sperm count my fiance has yet. but my question is, I check my cervical position and have noticed in the passed that I have tiny bumps on my cervix. I googled it and it said cervical polyps. I heard it can hurt chances of conceiving, and I m just wondering if there are any home remedies I can do to get rid of them. Like I said, I don t always have them. Just feel them every now and then.

Im a 53 yr. old female, 5 ft tall, weight 195lbs and still loosing weight. My problem is a burning and stabbing pain in my back and rt. hip. I have been receiving pain injections in my lower right side of my back and right hip for over a year, they seem to only last for a short time. I also have a pinched nerve in my back at L-4and L-5. the pain is so bad that I have a difficult time trying to stand up from a bending over position. One Dr. suggested that I may need back surgery if the injections continue to only last about a month. I still continue to have pain even with the injections. The pain is so intense that it interferes with my daily activities. I have a prescription for Vicodin and Zanaflex which doesnt do much for the pain.

Also my hands drew together and I was unable to use them. I fly often and have never experienced this tingling feeling. If I was the pilot I would have crashed, it rendered me unable to do anything. Have you ever heard if this? Thank you Renae

Hi, my name is Monique. My brother called me tonight to tell me about my father this past weekend. He is 72 years old and always a very active man. He still works (barber). I learned he has been taking something called a quinie for leg cramps. Another possible name Qualaquin? I guess the drug is prescribed here in the USA but it comes from Canada. Over the weekend, my father had difficulty moving around. Said everything hurt, including his back. he would lay on the floor and moan from pain constantly. This is very unusual behavior for my father. I guess he just renewed his prescription (that he has been taking for years) recently which has me concerned if this is a new onset of symptoms. I know he is also on a BP med, however I don t know what kind or dosage. I was told he also drank a lot of water over the weekend too. I m concerned there is more going on here and possible med interactions or something completely different. Leg cramps are a far cry from being in a ton of pain and not being able to move along with the excess intake of water. Can you please advise?

I m on cycle day 14 and I m currently taking metformin , iron,b12 and on cycle days 3-7 5mg of letrozole to induce ovulation . I noticed around 5am I was spotting and didn t think much about it and figured maybe it s ovulation bleeding . But after having it last all day along with cramps that have now started tonight and gotten stronger, I m wondering if it s something else going on. Anyone else taking some of these meds and have any positive news? I was really hoping that this cycle the meds would work and we d finally be pregnant. I m feeling pretty down and worried that maybe yet again there will be no baby or that maybe somethings happened that will make it impossible to conceive. I know I m likely over worrying but I could really use some positive reassurance

Hello. I went to the cardiologist today and had both an electro cardiogram and an echo cradiogram done. I ve had a heart murmer since my birth, though I am not sure exactly what kind it is. However, I do know for a fact that it is an innocent murmur, and that I should expect to outgrow it within the next few years. I am fifteen by the way. Now, I have smoked marijuana several times. I began this year. Usually it went fine. Then when i began to do it more frequently and at higher doses, I would feel the increased heart-rate, panic, etc. I realize this is normal. But i once fainted for a few seconds as a result of standing up too quickly while high. I understand that this is brought about by a rapid decrease in blood pressure? That s only happened once though. Other side effects have been a slight cold/fuzzy feeling in the left chest at the very beginning of the buzz, which goes away shortly. My question is if I can safely use marijuana in moderation, like once a month or probably less. How does my heart murmur play into all of this? Thank you.

My 15 yr old son has been diagnosed by an orthopaedic dr (actually 2 of them) with a pars fracture (bilateral) and disc desiccation of L4-L5.  He shut down for football season and rested in a brace for 6 weeks in October, then began PT/core strengthening for 6-8 more weeks.  Back pain was better and he eased into wrestling season and did well for about a month, when the back pain came back.  He has had xrays, 3 mris and most recently a CT scan.  He shut down again at the beginning of baseball season and has been resting for 6 weeks.  Still has back pain.  Plan is currently to rest until June 1st and then try PT, swimming, core strengthening again and try to go back to football in August.  Im wondering if it is more likely that the pars fracture or the disc degeneration is causing the pain?  What treatment do you suggest?  Do you think he will have to have surgery of some sort to return to competitive sports?  Sports are his world!!  Would a bone stimulator help?  Does he need a bone scan to determine if the fracture is hot or cold?  Please help!

I have been suffering with lower back pain for two and a half years, having sought help with chiropractor, physiotherapy, laser, and acupuncture treatments.  Have now had a MRI and met with a neurosurgeon who has indicated he can preform back surgery on my L5-S1 vertebrae. He said he would chip (removing bone) a passage way between the two.  I understand this procedure could also possibly be done by endoscopic surgery.  Is one better or safer than the other?

I have been sick over a month. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with bronchitis, an upper respiratory infection, and laryngitis. I have a dry cough and am bringing up mucus. My ears have been hurting but I do not have an earache. I went to church about 2 weeks ago and it was outside in high heat. The next day I started coughing and passed out. I have been on 3 antibiotics in the last 2 months. I am currently taking doxycycline. I was at work today and after eating part of my lunch became very ill and started vomiting. I came home early and was laying down when my the back of both of my legs started cramping. The cramping is located in my hamstrings and the back of my knees.


I am a male  68 yrs old with Parkinsons and osteoporosis. Because of the meds for Parkinson, my teeth are deteriorating rapidly (dry mouth). The recast that I have taken for Osteo slows down the healing process when teeth are extracted, increasing the risk of osteonucrosis. I have several teeth that need removing and the dentist is afraid i might have complications. The dental work will be very costly either way I go -- partials , implants.  We are exploring the area of dentures. Am I a candidate for dentures??


i was eating sunflower seeds (not shelled) when i was putting them in my mouth, i felt as if i had inhaled one because i felt a light poped inside my wind pipe and i thought to myself oh no i inhaled one, will it harm me? i started coughing like crazy and ended up vomiting twice from the coughing but nothing had been coughed up, its been a little more then 10 minutes after i felt the pop and the coughing started, now the coughing has subsided to only a cough every now and then but they are pretty deep coughs still. If i got to a doctor what will they do? and will i be asleep when they do it? also will the seed cause any health issues if their is one in my air way? plus can it get in your lungs or does it get stopped before it can enter them?

I was in a car accident about a month ago where i was rear ended at a stop light by a speeding SUV. To make matters worse, this is the third accident in the last 14 months. I have 3 cervical disc bulges,1 cervical disc herniation, 1 thoracic disc herniation contacting the thoracic cord, and 4 lumbar disc herniations with one making contact with the S1 nerve roots. This most recent accident has me completely out of work. In addition to severe pain, i ve been having memory loss, confusion, occasional stuttering and I haven t had much of an appitite. When I do try to eat I hurt extremely bad throughout my adominal region (as if i ve over eaten) after a few bits. i ve already lost 10 pounds and 1.5 dress sizes. I am treating with a Chiro 4 days a week, I ve had a cervical and lumbar epidural, and will be meeting with an Ortho in the next couple of weeks. It seem like everyone is working on addressing my pain issuse, but seem to be neglecting everything else. Please advise what you think my non-pain related sysptoms may be. Thanks

Hi Doctor,We have been trying to conceive from the past 8 to 9months. All our tests were normal(hormones,Ultrasound,HSG,Sperm Analysis). I have never missed my period but my cycle after marriage varies between 27 to 34days. Am I ovulating properly? And do we need to wait and try for sometime or do we need to contact the doctor for further examinations?


I have been having problems with my back for a year now and the my doctor cant make sense of it. I work in banquets(parties like weddings) as a server for about three years. At that job you lift trays that can weigh anywhere from 30-60 lbs. over and over (reason why I stay it is the best money that I have made so far and im the only parent working) at the end of every shift my lower back hurts pretty bad and I feel it more when I cough or sneeze. and nothing takes the pain away even if I took 3 extra strength pain killers like ibuprofen, Tylenol, ect. Then I had an incident where I was shoved in my back and my body/back did a whiplash type of move but it was the most painfullest experience that I ever felt, ever step I took, every twist or any move would hurt crucialy. It took awhile to heal when it did it didnt heal all the way, so it seems. Im still having the normal low backpain when I lift at the end of my shift, but also from the injury I have pain on the side of the injured part low right side of my back that can go into my hip and down my leg but they mostly hurt at diffrent times not all at once( rotates daily). My doctor doesnt seem to be understanding and thought it was a damaged nerve. Got an MRI. No nerve damage but the nurse on the phone told me its a bulging disk and that I need to be seen right away. I go back to see the doctor and all he talks about that theres no nerve damage puts me therapy, and gave me 120 naproxen, which are not helping me at all. Im just trying to make sense of this there is pain and allot of it and my doctor says there shouldnt be pain. On top of that pain I have bursitis in my right sholder and endometreosis which hurts greatly. I dont know what to do Im in pain al the time and dont understand why or what is happening? How would a doctor handle this because I dont think mine is a good doctor or at least he seems to be not understanding or helping me

I m 17 and i ve been feeling very dizzy and lightheaded lately which never really happens to me. I know it s not my heart because I had it checked a couple months ago after a fainting spell I had. I have depression but I don t think it s from stress or anything since it hasn t been that bad lately. I have been eating a little less than normal but not too much. I haven t been sleeping well, when I do sleep I usually have really weird dreams and I wake up really really sweaty. That has never happened before besides when I have a fever and I don t have a fever. I do have low blood pressure but it s not seriously low last time I checked. I would love to not go to a doctor if it s nothing serious since I do not have insurance... if you suggest I go please let me know. If you have ideas on what s wrong please let me know so I can look into it more.
