After multiple visits to the emergency room and doctors with CT scans, blood work, ultrasounds etc. I am still experiencing pain in my joints, muscles, ribs etc as well as muscle weakness, tremors throughout my body esp in my legs making my legs feel like jello. I am also now experience extreme chills (worse at night) not to mention neck pain.

Any suggestions or paths you can direct me in would be very much appreciated. Thanks Leslie

I have had a history of kidney stones, but there is no obstruction noted.  I have had a complete work up to rule out other conditions-GI, GYN, and Ortho.

I am not and have never been depressed, rather upbeat and active. I was told to take the RX before bed. Any suggestions?


I started the ChatDoctor diet about two months ago. I have had idiopathic peripheral neuropathy for 30 years. It has bothered my feet and ankles.

I hit my head pretty hard on the sharp corner of a book case full force last sunday. When I fell, I was anticipating hitting the bed, and did not immediately try to catch myself, unfortunately, my head hit hard directly on the sharp corner of the bookcase, probably one of the hardest I have had. I did not black out, but my ear became numb, and my head/shoulders hurt terribly. Then, throughout the week, I have been so tired, sleeping a lot more than I ever normally would, along with a dull head headache. On Friday, when I walked out into the cold, the spot on my head immediately began to throb. I instinctively reach to touch it, and it was very tender to the touch. It eventually subsided, but I have remained since then for the last two day with a dull head ache, achey shouders/neck, and my ear on that side seems to hurt, almost like when you are beginning to get an ear infection. Its hard to tell if I am just getting sick, or should I go to the doctor because of the injury to the head?

I just completed 6 weeks of physical therapy for a diagnosis of achilles tendon. They worked on reposturing my weight from the balls of my feet to my heels, stretching the tendons with exercises and graston tool. Although I have gained more range of motion in the ankle I continue to have my main symptom of heel pain, especially after sleeping and sitting for more than 30 minutes. They have suggested I see a podiatrist for other options. I still have questions about if this has been helpful treatment, if I should be using orthotics or specific show types, if my S--- sock helps in bed or need a boot, if a podiatrist can help. I have been suffering for 5 months.

Yes, I vehad a n respitory infection inially diagnosed as pnuenomoia. Had a chest xray first, results opacity 2cm at upper left lobe with no evidence of pnuemonia. My PCP then ordered 5 day course of zithromax follow up 2nd xray. Results were same. Both xray reports suggested CT scN TO R/O OTHER PROBLEMS, ETC. pCp ordered two weeks of levofloxcin after 2nd xray as she was not convinced that I did not have a bacterial infection. The entire time I was coughing, sneezing and had sever nasal congestion. I had a low grade temperature for the first thre days of the respitatory infection, then normal all the while the coughing etc. continued. A CT scan was then ordered and it revealed that the left lobe opacity was still present, mild reticular densities present at the lung apices and mild reticular opacification at the posteromedial left upper lobe suggestive of chronic fibrosis. There is also a 6mm nodule at theright middle lobe and mild bilateral dependent atelectatic changes. There are reticular and/or fibrotic changes at the lung bases. Finally could you define sclerotic densities at the soft tissues ajacent to the bilateral proximal humeri. I had a follow up PET/CT scan with some radio active substance today which is to r/o malignancy. thank you for any advice, etc. you can give me. Joan Z. Riverhead,NY

Hi Doctor, my wife has been going through breast cancer treatment and has been in a very critical state. We have 3 young children, and it s placed alot of stress on me. I am 46 yrs old male. Last Friday, I had rushed her to the hospital and then back to work, had only a protein bar for lunch with some coffee, then stood for 1.5 hrs and taught some folks at work. After 1.5 hrs, I suddenly felt very dizzy. I went and grabbed some Cliff bars (2), OJ, and a Gatorade. I excused my self, went to the car, felt a panic attack come on, and was take by ambulance to the ER. They performed radioisotope testing on my heart along with a stress test. All turned out normal, and I was sent home. My neck is still stiff and I still feel woozy. Any room for concern?

I m not sure what s going on with my leg.. I can barley walk on it at times it s really painful. It s always acing! I ve been to many doctors they have no idea what it is. It started in my lower back then went to my mid-back then went straight to down my leg. It s most painful when I m going to bed or waking up. I found that Motrin it the only thing that works. It doesn t get rid of all the pain, but most of it. I know it s not muscle pains, it s not a herniated disc, I have no clue what it is and now recently I m getting stomach pain and pooping out blood. I don t know what else to do.

had a root canal done after xrays were taken. there was a sore bump near the next tooth back.  besides on the other side of the mouth on the bottom there was a tooth that was sore when I put pressure on it..  xrays were taken and the problem was there was a puss pocket at the top of the root.  The dds redid a root canal.  That evening at home I put some pressure on the gum near the root canal area and green puss came out.  still a few days later the tooth on the mottom on other side of mouth is tender..could there still be infection I certainly felt he should have done so.  Is there a concern about this situation.  I do want to have a mouth that doesnt hurt. in the mouth?  the DDS did not give me an RX for an antibotic


I have had ISADH, for a long time. My nephrologist believes it s from head injuries I sustained over my lifetime. I met with a new nephrologist today, as my previous one left the group. I am confused and concerned, because I don t fully understand this disorder and am told to restrict my water intake to no more than 4, 8 ounce glasses of water a day. We also talked about using pedialyte, Gatorade, Co-Co Nut water, and Almond Milk, as part of this fluid intake. Do I still heavily salt my food? And worst cast scenario, she said I could get brain swelling. Please, if any of you docs can shed further information, and relieve some of my anxiety please do. Thank you. Virginia (Jenna) West

Hello, I sometimes develop an odd rash on my penis. Ive only had it three times ever. Twice on my Penis head and once on the skin just below the head, where the foreskin was removed. It seems to happen when i masturbate frequently with lotion but im still worried its something else. There arent any blisters, but the skin is red and dry. only slight itching sometimes. it seems to be worse when i masturbate without lotion. During the day it mostly goes away, but if i masturbate it will get very dry and cracked and flaky. What could this be?

I have a hard almost sausage shaped lump that is under my bottom right rib, and starts just at the side of my abdomen (4 inches off centre) and goes around the side of my body.

i have type 2 diabetes i checked my blood sugar earlier this evening and it was 430. It has never been that high before, but I have missed taking my glipizide rx for about a week because it ran out and it is too soon to have it refilled at my pharmacy. I took 1,000 mg of my husbands metformin (which I used to take) and checked it again about a 1/2 hour later. my sugar had dropped to 380. should I wait to see if it continues to drop or would it be safe to use my husbands novolog 70/30 mix to bring it down? if so, what is a safe dose?

My mother is 92, has Type II Diabetes (managed with diet and a pill).  She has developed an odd assortment of symptoms in her right leg which may or may not be related.  For about a week or so she had what she described as a pain in the muscle of her right thigh.  We put heat on it and she massaged it herself.  That pain went away and then she woke up with a swollen right knee with what looked like blood blisters and heavy bruising under the skin.  We iced that for several days.  Now the knee is improving but the lower leg is swollen and the skin is very tight and shiny in appearance and dark brownish red in color.  From the first symptom to the current about 4 weeks have elapsed. Ideas?

I take Phyentonium Sodium and Levetiricem (spelling off) to control seizures. I had a brain tumor in 1981 and in 2009 I had a seizure (2 Gran Mals back to back) and then in 2013 I had a seizure but it was was a Gran Mal. Doctor said these medications are to control seizures but they are sure affecting me in a strange way. I have a balance problem with walking, vision not good, tremor movements in the hand and my speech is slurred at times. In 2009 I thought I was having a stroke. I had a tremendous headache for about two week then I all of a sudden could not speak and walk. Doctors thought it was a stroke. I had 3 MRI s and every kind of test there was. Said it probably was some scarring from 1981 surgery. Not completely sure, but started me on this medication. Just had my Lab work done to check my levels for the Pheynetonium I m taking and it is too high (23.8) reducing it by one pill. I have never had the Leveticem checked, Doctor said not necessary. My question, why do the levels fluctuate and should I be checked for another condition and a should I have Lab work for the Levetericem I take.

Hi, I am a 38 year old woman. Two years ago, I lost 100 lb with diet and exercise. About two years ago, I started having back pain (lower right side). About 1 year after that, my right shoulders starting hurting while using exercise equipment. In March (while on the treadmill), my toes on my right foot start to cramp under like spasms. From that point on after walking about 30 minutes I experience the cramping. Later(over the past 3 months), I ve had a tightness in my right thigh (which actually started slightly prior to the cramping) but is now accompanied by knee pain and throbbing . My right arm continues to hurt and for the last two months I ve had a twitch in my wrist. My pinkie finger shakes when I use it for support. I ve been to several doctors. The only thing I ve been told is that I am anemic (iron deficiency) but they are not sure about the source of my symptoms. I also have a sore tooth (molar)on the right side of my mouth. What could be causing my symptom?

What is the best approach to the following. While sedated yesterday I was asked to give permission that a new dental bridge for several of my front teeth looked good and I was pleased with it. I was helped by two people and asked to look at this mirror about 3 feet away. I could not even make out my mouth everything was fuzzy. Just wanted to sit down. I said I guess so. It was permanently glued in and now that I am awake, the bridge is plain awful, ugly and to big for my mouth. The front teeth slant to the right, teeth are to big and it looks just terrible. Cost $7200.00 and I am unhappy. Initial conversation with office tells me that I okayed the placement. I asked if they always asked patients that are sedated to give consent. So far I am stuck with this nasty bridge. What do I do?

For the past couple of days I have had deep pain in my right knee and ankle. The pain in my knee is just below the knee and feels like a rubber band constricting my leg. The pain in my ankle is also deep pain as if an injury to a bone and the pain circles the ankle. In addition to that, there is a bulge in the Achilles tendon that was extremely painful a couple of months ago. I have been fairly active as a 51 year old female, however I have already had total knee replacement on my left knee and disc fusion, rods, screws and cages placed in my low back. (Yep, walking train wreck). Lastly, the muscles on the insides of my legs feel as if I ve been riding a horse for days. Is there anything that could account for all of those symptoms, assuming it isn t due to stress & over use? This doesn t feel like pulled or strained muscles and I haven t had any falls or other injuries.

Hello,  I have had triple by pass surgery.  I go yearly to the cardiologist for a check up.  This year he told me that my heart was skipping a beat but nothing to really worry about.

For a year or so now when I am relaxed watching TV and not moving around I will find myself all of a sudden gasp for air.  It is kinda like I forget to breath and then I gasp for air.  Could the two be related.Thank you


hi my husband of 32 had a non penetrating chest trauma on his left side after cycling into a post 2 years ago,we went to a&e to check it out but they didnt seem to worry about it,even though no tests/xrays were done.shortly after he suffered repeated heartburn and could pinpoint to a tender area on left side of chest where it felt to be burning inside.he took omeprazole and domperidone for 2 years but symptoms persisted,he had a camera into his stomach but everything looked normal,his lymph nodes are ok too.however for the past 6 weeks its got so bad that he has severe heartburn constantly even without eating food,his left side of neck (jugular vein?) is very tender to touch from head down to collar bone,heavy feeling in lower jaw and tender area still in chest.it was so bad that i took him to hospital 3 times thinking he was having a heart attack,ecg were ok and blood pressure and oxygen levels good.the doctors dont seem to know what it coud be,its taken over his life,he has lost 1 stone in 6 weeks as hes been off his food afraid things will make it worse still.he had an allergy test and it came back clear.please can you give us any suggestions what it could be and if you think there could have been some injury 2 years ago off his bicycle that nobody picked up on.as he is a muscular fit guy the doctors just shrugged their shoulders when i suggested he have an xray or scan for damage to the heart tissue or vessels etc??? please reply as soon as possibleregardsnicola (uk)

My son got hit in the mouth last Friday and the hit knocked his two front teeth loose. (Baby teeth, he is 6&1/2) I took him to the dentist the following Monday. The X-Ray showed that his roots were mostly dissolved. However, they pulled one tooth bc it was sticking out uncomfortably.  Yesterday while he was eating the other tooth fell out.  Now, he has a dangly piece of flesh hanging from the socket. I think its nerves??? I jiggled it around and he can feel it.  Will this come out or dissolve on its own or should we have it removed?

My lips have been really irritated for the last 2 weeks. First I thought it was because of the change of climate I just relocated from Georgia to California. I do have eczema. They just felt really dry in the beginning so I would reapply carmex as needed. Then the area between my nose and lip also became irritated. A few days ago it got worst and after I applied carmex my lips felt wet and really raw. Once the moisture was gone it would be yellow crust when wiped my lips. There doesn t appear to be any bumps. I haven t been to sleep in two days because it is so uncomfortable. Please help! Thanks

Any insight?

I recently disinfected plastic water bottles with hydrogen peroxide @ a store where you can purchase purified water. they had peroxide there to sanitize bottles you bring in. I rinsed the bottles out before I filled them with water. But there may have been some peroxide residue left, because the water tastes funny. My lips also tingle a bit after I have drank the water from the bottles. What are the dangers here for me. Should I discard the water Can I boil it instead. Is there a health risk?


I am 26 years old, about 57 and weigh about 140 lbs.  Not much to say about my medical history...I do have a weak immune system and have allergies almost always.  I am allergic to lots of foods/medicines/chemicals/scents.  The most major thing to mention is a knee surgery I had about 10 years ago. I live in Maui and there has been concern about dengue fever.  I may have been exposed about a week ago (hiking in the rainforest/waterfall  areas).  I went to the doctor yesterday with some symptoms but nothing was determine.  Today I have more symptoms and wont be back to the doctor till Thursday.  Is increased peeing (like every hour compared to maybe once every 5-6 hrs) a symptom of dengue?  And if I have dengue is there anything I can be doing NOW to help before my next doc visit to confirm what I have?

I am currently on day 8 of taking ChatDoctor injections to lose 15-20lbs. last 2 days I have been having lower back pain with it bein a 10 yesterday after sitting at my desk all day at work. Lying down helps with the pain but it is still there even with with it being about a 5 - The only thing I can think of that might have caused this is the ChatDoctor diet or I had to help my husband push his big heavy motorcycle up on a stand. Went to dr s for something else on Monday and he just gave me some muscle relaxers (pulled muscle?) but even taking those and a pain pill - it still hurts.

I have extreme short term memory loss and tingling of the nose, feet, and hands at times, also migraines that no medicine seems to work on. I m very irritable, and very short tempered.

Hi I am an occupational therapist and one of my clients (1 year old) recently in January had her adenoids removed.  Since her surgery, she has developed what seems to be an allergy to milk products causing breaking out of her feet and lower legs every time she drinks milk or eats anything with milk in it.  It goes away.  She was drinking milk and eating other dairy products before surgery without any breaking out.  Could this be a result from the surgery?


I am 71, very active  and just learned about 2 weeks ago that I have intraductal carcinoma in situ of the breast.  I am having a difficult time trying to determine if I should have a lumpectomy with potential radiation and hormone therapy or a simple mastectomy.  This area of calcification was picked up on mammography (yearly study) and they didnt know if I could have had it in 2009 since it is  right up against the chest wall which made it difficult to capture via xray.  If I should need radiation would proton thereapy be an option.  I have had 2 brothers that had this method of treatment for prostate cancer.  I really do not wish to take hormone therapy if at all possible because of the side effects that I have read.  I would be grateful for your comments.  I live about 160 miles away from Oklahoma City.  Thank you.

Every so often, my girlfriend gets abdominal pain and nausea. It becomes quite severe and we end up having to go to the ER. When we do, they always just give her anti-nausea meds and pain killers take a urine sample, tell her that her white blood cell count is low, and then tell her shes fine and send her on her way. But it keeps coming back, generally several months apart, and now shes pregnant and it came back again last weekend. Any ideas or advice?


my period started on 01 April 2010 and lasted 5 days. I had unprotected sex on 10 April 2010 and started feeling sick 3 days afterwards. For the past week, I have been feeling sleepy, very tired, lower abdominal pains, headaches, backache, leg cramps, a non-smelling egg-white like discharge which changed in texture to watery milky, but still not smelly. I thought I was pregnant, so i took a home pregnancy test on the afternoon of 20 April, it came out negative.  I took another one this morning, 21 April, it also came out negative.  Is it possible that i may have tested too soon? or is it possible that i may have contracted an STI? I still feel the pain on my lower abdomen, though its not as strongly as the first time i felt it.  Please help!

i have shortness of breath and i do take inhalers for what seems i have reactive airway disease which was said by my doctors, but i have been taking them to a point where i feel cured, (i was sleeping good and ate like how i usually ate) but than like 2-3 days later it came back again, but i used to feel chest pain and now i dont feel chest pain anymore (no tightness,pain,) , wheezing or coughing i dont have either, i have kind of a rapid heart beat (not to fast,but fast even when im just sitting down or walking) and when i lay down to sleep (back or on my stomach) i suddenly feel like my airway narrows to a point where i could breath but so little.. and my heart does pound at that time, this causes me to stay awake for a whole night or day since i suddenly cant wake up, and i rarely sleep cause of this.. but my stomach and whole lungs dont pain at all, it just feels as if im not getting enough oxygen so my heart beats kinda fast, and yes i can feel the slight narrowing from the bottom of my throat to maybe my chest (but no hard pain at all) (not the stomach area) but when im outside i cant really feel it anymore (but my heart still beats kinda fast) so what is it? ive been given inhalers qvar and proair to help with my problem and i dont have asthma . a year ago it worked fine and i was cured (last had it on march 2011) then came back this month of august 2012 and it was going away but came back with no chest pain or odd coughing. could it be cause i own cats? is it dirt and bad air? maybe exercise and eating healthy can help? i also been eating kind of less,drinking plenty of water,and walking 30 min in the morning outside and walking for 1-2 hours or more out places, and i stayed away for fatty foods and it seems like i dont get cravings for that type of stuff anymore.. seems like for these past 2-3 days, i ve been eating fruit,salad, little soda , and a small-medium size meal atleast once a day,


Hi, My son is 17 months old. Within the last three weeks he had tummy bug and ear infection. His stool started being grey then it turned whitish which was accompanied with vomiting. It lasted 3-4 days. After two weeks he started it all over again, and he has just started having grey stools again, the third time within a short period of time. He doesn t really want to eat, and he lost lots of weight. We took him to the Gp, who said our son has mild ear infection and is not dehydrated. I am worried for him. He is so week now, when he walks he keeps falling all the time.

I am absolutely fed up with my reoccurring fever, chills, and feeling of weakness. I am 19 years old, and feel as if i am constantly getting sick. For the past month or so, i have been having a reoccurring fever with chills and weakness and an occasional soar throat. I felt better for a day or so, and now it is back. I was tested for strep and it came back negative, and my dr sent me home with allergy medicine, which really is not what i feel i needed. I get enough sleep, excersize, and i at healthy, so i am really curious why I keep feeling this way. I am scared, and assuming the worst, I would really just like a second opinion at this point.


My 22 year old son is going to be seeing a doctor in a week for headaches and a possible seizure. I m wondering if I sent his doctor an email to inform him of his high anxiety levels, social anxiety, depression, etc. That he s suffered since middle school if she would keep it confidential and not tell him I contacted her. It would do some real damage if he knew I contacted his doctor. I don t think he would lie to her but he doesn t see himself as the family does and may not bring up these issues. This is the first time he s agreed to go to a doctor and I really just want to be sure she knows. Should I let it go or will it be kept between us? ?? Thank you. Cathy

Hi,I just recently noticed this morning that my meatus is a little inflamed. I went to a local urologist and he prescribed antibiotic ointment as a precaution and I requested (he did not require) a urine test as I had received unprotected oral sex a week prior. I am circumcised, masturbate quite frequently and am in asia currently. As I do not exactly have the highest confidence in the local doctors, I was wondering what diseases, if any, I am at risk of having and if the urine test should pick them up. Thanks.


Hello, I had a root canal on Friday morning. But my dentist couldnt finish it because it was infected. Yesterday I was in so much pain I couldnt stand it. So I called my dentist and he had me meet him at his office and he re-opened the hole in my tooth and let the infection drain out through my tooth. Then he filled it back in again. Now today the pain and swelling has been gradually getting worse. The swelling and pain is now up around my eye and into my forehead. Im on 2 different antibiotics. Im on Flagyl and Augmentin. I started those 2 this morning. Should I go to the E.R. in case the infection spreads to my brain or will I be ok? Thank you.

My one year old just started waking up with small red spots around her mouth and chin. They look more like spots that bumps, however, one every once and awhile will have the tiniest white bump in the middle that is just slightly raised. They don t seem to bother her to much, but I ve also noticed that around the same time she started getting these, she also started crying out or babbling in her sleep. I check on her when she cries out while she is sleeping, but I never find anything wrong. I m not sure if the two are related, but figured it wouldn t hurt to add that information.

Since my daughter was born 6 months ago I have been struggling with weightloss, and  was wondering if it would be okay to try a pill of some sort and which would be best with my pre-existing medical condition? I bought some samples of Sabas ACE (Appetite Control and Energy) recently, and was wondering if they are actually safe to take for someone with my background?


I am wondering about symptoms of scolosis (sp?). I ve had it since childhood, and have many problems at age 77. I have difficulty standing for normal periods of time --- walk with a walker --- weak legs and hamstrings, etc. Please name other normal symptoms for someone my age with the disease.
