I am 52 years old.Since having a laparoscopically assisted  hysterectomy ten days ago, I have had lower blood pressure than usual-still within the normal range (this morning,113 on 70). However Ive been experiencing dizziness. Five months ago I was placed on Atacand medication due to High B.P and now taking Atacand Plus. I realise that the lowered BP is due to the effect of the morphine PCA following surgery and the reduced mobility. At this stage in recovery, I am certainly less mobile than usual, but relatively active for this stage of recovery. Should I take my blood pressure  in the morning, once Im up and about, before taking the prescribed Atacand PLus, or should I just continue to take it as normal?

Hello. I was at karate training last night and I punched my oponent. My left, index knuckle (the big one that joins the finger to the palm) made contact with my oponent s elbow. It was immediately painful. Within a few minutes it was swollen and tender to touch. This morning, it has developed bruising, is still swollen, tender to the touch and is slightly numb. I can make a fist, but it is painful to do so. Is it just a bruise from making contact, or could I have done some more serious damage?

I have been diagnosed after years of mis or not diagnosed with tri-geminal neurolgia. I have been given tegretol-xr 100mg 2 times daily.  The last episode about six months ago it did not help. This time after the first day it seems to be working as the pain is gone. Should I only take this when the episodes start again.  Sometimes I can go for a year or more with none. I dont want to have the liver side effects so only am taking when the pains start again.

Hello, my mother-in-law was treated for cancer of the osephagus a year ago successfully however she has just been re-admitted to hospital with fluid in the heart and lung.  Does this mean that the cancer has spread?  if so, is it possible for her to have further treatment she is 68 years old and obviously the initial treatment was very invasive?  Thank you for your assistance.


I fell over on my side at skiing 4 weeks ago. At the time I felt a very sharp pain in my right thigh just below the buttocks and it swelled up and became black and blue with bruising for about 10 days. Since the swelling subsided I have had a soft lump in the location about 6cm roung and 1.5 - 2cm high that is very soft to touch and is quite numb. Do you think this could be a hernia??

At my doctors appointment this week he observed what appears to be a large amount of histamine in my blood (I turned red very easily and it lasted awhile) and I also noticed I get red and hot randomly while indoors or out and it take awhile to cool down, I am a 33 year old female. He suggested Zyrtec at night but the next day after taking it I got red and itchy on my arm and other areas became uncomfortable like needing to continually crack my neck, back and mainly my two fingers on my right hand. The pharmacy suggested Benadryl but that did not help. Now it s been going on a few days, my itchy red fingers hat continually need to be cracked for relief were swollen and red this morning and very painful near the joint and continue to be painful although swelling went down a good bit throughout he day. Now I am becoming itchy in other areas like my left hand and my left ear is now bright red and very hot. I also suddenly have unexplained brushing across my lower back and right side. I am very worried, what could this be?

HI DR. RADHAKRISHNATHANKS FOr BEING AVAILABLE.My dad is 88 and has stage 4 liver cancer, it was never deternined if it is cholangriocarcinoma. Only June 14 he was told a pet scan showed it has metasticisd to aorta and elsewhere, and that he was not a good candidate for chemio. Three days ago he got a bellyache that zantac _ prevacid could not help so his oncologist but him on creon. It worked. So my question is, does this mean the duct blockage to the pancreas is connected to the liver issue?


I have a habit of sticking my tongue in the back of my throat numerous times a day, I did it this morning to get the dried up flem out that collects back there when Im asleep..but I noticed a small bump on the left side of my mouth right behind the skin the uvula is connected to.

I am 15 years old and have never smoked before. I also never drank any form of alcohol. After having braces for about a year, I notices white patches growing along my mouth (where my teeth touch my gum). I often scrape my braces there and was wondering if this is anything I should be worried about. I have had one patch for around 3 months and another for a week. I did some research and suspect frictional keratosis. However, I am worried it might be something more serious, such as leukoplakia. Can you please help me out? The patches are around an inch long and have a \"scale-like\" texture.

I m sorry this is so long but thought the details important. In January of 2013, I tripped over my laptop cord and went flying into our dining room table that has a sharp edge and broke my nose. It happened so quickly that I don t know how I also managed to hit the back upper side of my head (maybe on one of the chairs?), nearly broke my left knee and suffered bruising on my right arm, hip and thigh. I didn t go to the ER because when I called them, they said I would be waiting for hours and the waiting room was full of flu patients. The cut across my nose was pretty clean, not gaping. My husband helped get the bleeding stopped. I did look as though I had been beaten severely the next day with major black eyes and bruising in the other areas. I was surprised at how sore the back of my head was since there wasn t even a slight bump. I didn t think much about it as I gradually improved. On July 1 of 2013 my husband and I flew to Wisconsin from Texas and then back again after 6 days. Upon arriving in WI, I started having terrible headaches and confusion. Within 4 days of returning to Texas, my husband had to take me to the ER because the headache pain was unbearable and sudden very high blood pressure. The ER got me stable with BP meds, fluids and 3 doses of morphine. I don t remember any of that. My husband said I kept trying to pull the IV s out. I saw my PCP the next day and he sent me for an MRI which showed I had a subdural hematoma with a thin layer of blood covering my entire brain. I had been taking lots of advil and aspirin for the pain.The neurosurgeon I was referred to said DO NOT take either because of the bleed. He decided not to do surgery but put me on Keppra to reduce the chances of seizures and have follow up CT scans and visits to see him. My PCP put me on Lisinipril for the BP before I saw the NS. I ve had 2 catscans since the MRI and they show improvement. But I m still having periods of confusion, occasional but not constant high BP (I have always had low BP) and mild headaches. I am now off of the Keppra but am taking 1/2 of a 2.5 Lisiniprol when the BP goes up. I am also more depressed than usual (I have fibromylagia, hypothyroidism, and IBS). I am 62, female and concerned that I might never be normal again because of the continuing confusion and memory problems that I didn t have before all of this happened. The neurosurgeon said I may or may not improve further.


The are couple of months now, I have been having difficulty concentration, Forgetful ness, cant talk right sometimes slurred., back of ears to base of neck hot, like fever. I work and its embarrassing when I have to ask someone 3-5 times . Am I lacking something, or is it a condition. Can it be corrected? Please help.Thank you,Vicki Bisher YYYY@YYYY

Well i have a few different concerns about my health. Have been trying to get to doctor but unable to at this time. First question is regarding something I just decided to research up on last night. Hopefully just an ingrown hair but I am worried it can be staph infection or even worse MRSA. I have this hard bump on inner thigh next to bikini line. Its been there for few weeks now and seems to be getting worse. Now it is purple and size of quarter lump underneath, very painful; attempted to pop it and pus came out as well as some blood. My xboyfriend I was with for 2 years had MRSA pretty bad but told me was not contagious. Now 6 months after leaving him im finding out that s not the truth and is actually very contagious especially considering he had open holes from it that were discharging fluid. I used to help bandage and care for his wounds. Could I have gotten it from him?

For years I have had back pain, 4 years ago I had a lamenectomy on my L5-s1, and a discectomy on the disk below, aside from still always being in pain, and pain constantly shooting into my legs and toes, when I need to make a bowel movement the pain in my lower back on the right side increases almost to the point where I m in tears, and stays elevated pain until after the bowel movement. What could be causing this extra pain? Is it a sign another vertabrae has gone bad or pinching more nerves?

My husband is 3 months post op Thyroid Cancer. Thyroid was removed as well as 6 metastatic nodes. 148 mc Radioactive Iodine was given & I131 scan showed only residual tissue. He currently takes his synthroid 150 mg. But it has been ineffective. 6 weeks ago he had an onset of pain in tailbone. Which has progressed to severe pain & inability to stand or walk correctly. Along with this his RBC Hemocrit & Hemoglobin levels are low, but his Platelet function times are elevated. He has had several CBC W/DIFF labs. His PFT has been up to 206- 247 ranges & his PFT EPI up to 179. They are consistently high with the exception of 2 different times being normal out of 6 draws. His ENT just removed tonsils with bleeding complications. He believes something is wrong & is sending him to Hematology at Vanderbilt. My question is could the bone pain be related to his levels? Lukemia? Or is that not usual or is it two separate issues such as a blood disorder and possibly a discount issue?

Hi, I am 21 years olds and for the last 2 years my wisdom teeth have slowly been coming in. The bottom 2 are almost fully out but have a flap of skin over them it is not painful and i know the importance of keeping my mouth clean to prevent food from getting stuck under the skin so the their is no pain or discomfort associated with the bottom 2. The 2 on top are also partially out but not completely but overall in this process my overbite has gotten more visible and today when my upper right wisdom pain started i was feeling around in my mouth with my tounge and i felt a hard bone like bump towards the right side of the roof of my mouth not too close to the wisdom tooth but its not painful and im not sure if it new or i just never realized it before is it just a bone over growth or is it something to do with my wisdom teeth Thank you for your time and help AAAA

i went to puerto rico 6 months ago. I started coughing up little threads that resemble worms a week ago. my dr sent a specimen to a lab to be identified and gave me a script for albenza. my dr was sure i have a parasite. the lab results came in today and the specimen was classified as a fiber, not a parasite. i was also informed that my chest xray showed a spot on my lung. i ll be going for a ct scan monday. i m scared and i don t understand whats wrong with me. why would i be coughing up fibers that vary in color from clear-white to red-brown? do i have a parasite? should i keep taking the albenza? is it something worse? could this be a sign of cancer?

I have been checking my blood every 5 days and there has been improvement. currently SGPT 105u/l, SGOT 56, bilirubin 9 mg/dl. my concern is why my bilirubin going up? I would expect the number to go down while I am recovering. Also my SGPT and SGOT have been fluctuate in the past three weeks. Last week my SGPT 65 and SGOT 40, is this something alarming? I have checked with three specialist (Gastroenterologist and Hepatologist) and they all didnt seem too worry about my condition, they said I will fully recover. My family are so scared because I am so yellow (jaundice) and they dont let me near my child, afraid of contagious. It has been very challenging these past few weeks for me and my family. My family have been watching my food diet, I can only eat soup, porridge, and steam fish and vegetables.  In the meantime I lost 15lb and still feel nausea with no appetite. My recovery seems to go pretty slow, am I doing anything wrong? Please help...

I have chronic pain issues and my physician has retired and no physician wants to accept my care, let alone prescribe for me.All treat me like a narcotic addict and I am extremely depressed over the entire situation.

About a month ago i began to have severe pain in my growing area and testicles. Sometimes i would have pain near my belly button. My testicles were swollen to about twice their normal size. I thought that it might be a hernia so i went to the doctor. He said i just strained my lower abdomen muscles and that the pain and swelling were just side effects. A few days past and the pain began to lessen. I then found a soft lump on my left testicle. I self-diagnosed myself with a spermatocele . I masturbated and it went away, and so did the pain. I have now discovered a small hard knot on my right testicle. It is painless and is a little larger than the size of a bb. It is about halfway down from the top of my testicle and is facing towards my rear. I am not sexually active and i am 18 years old. Should i be worried? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have PCOS and I had a iud implantation I had it removed early July 2015 because before the iud I was on the depo shot and I really wanted to see if I could have a normal period on my own. Also I was TTC I know the odds of having a pregnancy with PCOS are close to impossible without help from doctors. But at the end of October I went to the bathroom and I wiped and there was very lite pink discharge, it happened probably a little over a week after TTC. I took a test and it was negative, and I have no signs of a period coming. After I had the iud taking out I had a very light period in August September and early October. I m just curious if I could be pregnant, I ve been expirencing sore nipples and also my nipples look as if they are turning white on the tips and there are some small bumps also.

I have a diagnosis of Oral Lichen Planus, diagnosed through biopsy, of 6 years duration. It has flare-ups and quiescent phases, but right now I am in the worst flare-up I have ever experienced. Steroid mouth washes dont help, only adding thrush to the equation, so I mostly just put up with it, eat soup, and yogurt, and hold bio yogurt in my mouth for several minutes, several times a day, as this has been the best treatment I have found so far. I have been googling (well who doesnt these days!) and I wondered if Lysander might help, it seems to be effective on mouth ulcers. Any advice?

Hello. My name is abdul. I live in India. I think i have depression. When I was 16, I developed a relation with a woman who was 25 at the time. We broke up when she got married and had a baby with someone else. I stayed till I saw that my relation with her was ruining both me and her marriage. So we called it off. She got divorced and blames it all on me as all of it was my fault. I don t know if I did the right thing or not but she makes me feel as if I was the guilty one. I have depression because of her. I need someone to tell me if what I did was right or wrong.

Good evening. My daughters had hand foot and mouth beginning last week, so about 12 days now for the earliest. My question is not about them really. My husband nor I have gotten the virus, at least we have shown no symptoms. However I work with a woman who is 8 months pregnant and is afraid to be near me or touch anything I have touched, for fear of her baby getting it.  Should I keep my distance from her if I have no symptoms? I keep reading different lengths that the virus can be alive and that Lysol does not kill it.  My kids seem fine, that have gone back to daycare. Can I give it to this girl? If I go to my primary doctor  can they test me to see if I have it? I need to do something to be sure I can be at work. In need of advice! Sincerely, stressed out!

Hello, I have a discomfort, it is on the left of my breast bone, going under my breast, around my side, and will also be directly through to my back from the point of left of my breast bone. I have been having this since April 9th. I wnet to my local Urgent Care facility, and the chest X-ray, and EKG came back fine, but I still have the paiins. I am a woman, almost 44 years old. I do not want to go to the local emergency room and waste their time. In the range of 1 being low pain to 10 being severe pain, it ranges from 3 to 5. Sometimes the pain next to my breast bone is sharp, but mainly it is a constant discomfort. Medical history is a small hole in my aeortia, not large enough to preform surgery, I was toldit was a heart murmur, but the Urgent care physician said she did not hear the murmur. Parents only have high blood pressure, NOT me. Paternal grandmother has angina attacks, I do not know how often, I do not think it is very often my parents wouldhave told me. Other than that there is no othre family history of heart issues. With this information coud you give me your best answer? Thank yu very muchPatricia

Hi! This last year has been hell with my thoughts. I went to a psyche ward last summer. Unfortunately nothing has helped me in the long run from having intrsive thoughts and urges. I have had numerous med changes. I had thoughts of suicide . I walked in front of three cars last summer hoping to get hit-its good that I didnt get hit. I am currently reading Mans Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl. I feel I dont know what the right thing is. I have OCD ,PTSD, Scizo-effective, dystymia and other mental disorders. I have automatic thoughts of insane hanus stuff.

They did blood tests for thiroid funcion. I am still worried that this is a serious illness. Im a 24 year old smoking male.


Are there any doctors who are familiar with Lymes disease and its treatment in the Binghamton, NY area?  My son has had a bulls eye rash for 2 weeks and its beginning to fade.  If it is Lymes, what is the correct treatment if he was bitten 2 or 3 weeks ago?


I was circumcised at 18 and am now 62. After circumcision, glans was and continues to be very sensitive, so much so that I have never been able to tolerate oral sex and even regular sex has at times been painful. My circumcision left all of my frenulum intact. It is a huge flap of skin from below the corona to the tip and hangs down about 3/4 of an inch. I am just now finding out that it contains nerves. Can that be the problem? I lost my last girlfriend because she said she enjoys oral sex and I wouldn t let her and even her rubbing her hand against the glans makes me go soft due to the pain. I still want to be sexually active with a woman, but fear the same problems in the future. Any suggestions?


I was on previously on birth control to regulate my cycle and came off of it in September. My cycle has been somewhat irregular since then, but I have still been having periods every month. I had unprotected sex last month (pull out method), but had my regular period two days after.

Could the late period still be due to me coming off of birth control? Or should I go to the doctors to get a pregnancy test completed?

My 12 year old son had his gallbladder removed last March of 2010. His relief was temporary. In January of 2011 he started having recurrent chest pain and bilateral upper abd. pain .Upper Endoscopy showed eosinophilic esophagitis which a repeat was done in April after Prilosec and Previcid treatments to show eosinophils were elevated. He was then switche to Nexium and a Patch test is scheduled for this Friday at Danville Medical Center to see what he could be allergic to. The allergy tests done so far showed no food allergies. He continues to have chest discomfort and bilateral side pain in the upper abdomen.A calcium channel blocker called nifedipine 5 mg. po was started one capsule po 15 min before meals which helps with the chest pain but not with the bilaterl sides discomfort.  He is to have an esophageal manometer reading on June 24. His stool is brown, occas. constipated but when he has a bm it is flaky loose with occas thinner stool. What do you think this is???????????

Hi well I want to give you some basic info, my name is Jenn I am 18, 5 1 and very overweight . Anyway I recently got diagnosed with cellulitus due to a scratch by my dog. I am on Augmentin the highest dose 875-125mg twice daily, my question is this can Augmentin cause nerve damage? Other then the cellulitus I have been having health issues but doctors think its anxiety/panic attacks. Anyway I haven t slept really for 8 days, I was having panic attacks in my sleep. I recently started taking the augmentin (day 3 in the morning) and I feel worse, YES the swelling in my arm is going down but I am having back pain , bad tension headaches, (I have been having weakness only on my right side for about 3 months now in the middle of testing) and also starting today (2 days into the antibiotic) my feet ( both) feel very stiff its unvonfortable sitting for to long (can this be caused by not sleeping or something else??) and my legs are weak and I can not stabd for very lobg my back hurts, and I get dizzy. But strangly when moving my feet feel a BIT better. But now a frightening new symptom appeared and I don t know if it is from the Augmentin (this NEVER happened to me before.) My right ring finger is bent and doesnt want to straighten but can be straightened if I really try to but just resting it it remains in a bent shape ( not at the tip the bend is more towards the middle and bottom) and now my fingers from time to time spread out the dont stay side by side when I m resting my hand it doesn t really hurt its just very annoying and when I squeeze stuff it s very week and I can t squeeze that hard (this problem with my hand is only the right one) also it feels like an electric shock going through my hand and fingers when I do tasks with it it s overall weak but the ring finger is VERY weak and can t do anything with it (what can this be I m nervous!) also I have had tests for Lyme (negative), a bunch if blood tests to do with my heart (fine), anemia (fine), Mono (negative) no diabetes, and I have had 2 EKG S both fine. My only medical problems are asthma (even though I know if your diagnosed it never is cured its always in you just dormant but I haven t had an attack or needed my inhaler in over 7 years) and carpal tunnel other then that Medically I have no other issues. Sorry this is so long I really appreciate your help and time!

My son is 11 months old and has moderate eczema. Since my other children had it when they were young, we know how to keep it under control. But for the past 4 weeks, he has been frantically trying to itch his scrotum. There doesn t appear to be a rash there, so I initially tried an anti-fungal cream for a week, but his symptoms didn t seem to improve. I just changed him and I noticed blood in his diaper from all the scratching. I put aquaphor on it to provide a barrier between his scratches and urine for the night. But, this whole situation has me baffled! Any suggestions?

I am currently just over 22 weeks pregnant and my breasts have grown over 12 cup sizes already. I used to be a 32d and am now well over a 32k. I have been seen by the breast specialists at the hospital who have told me that my breast are very engorged, with blocked ducts and valves as well as inflammation of the breast tissue however there solution is that I just get on with it. I am absolutely beside myself, I can t sleep the pain is unbearable and the radiologist thinks I have a rare condition caused by pregnancy (which he couldn t give me a name for) and that I should just learn to love my breasts. He also said they probably wouldn t ever return to their original size. I have looked on the net and have now convinced myself I have gigantomastia which is distressing me greatly as some of the pictures on the net are horrendous. I have gained a stone in weight and yet my bump at the moment is only small. I am having trouble functioning and am desperate for help.

At 18 years old i had an unexplained inability to urinate and wore a catheter for several weeks. My Dr. did a urethral dilation surgery as a last resort after many tests that showed nothing (including CT scan). Incidental finding on CT scan showed I had mild, symptomless spina bifida. At 45 I have been diagnosed with stage 3 ckd due to creatinine level of 1.21, eGFR 54. I am trying to understand why, as I am in *perfect* health, excellent BP, glucose, etc. I am wondering if maybe my kidney damage was caused by ongoing hydonephrosis (either due to spina bifida or partial blockage). I am suspicious becuase of having two sonograms (one in pregnancy, one for this condition) where the technician said my bladder was full when I could not feel that it was. Also have had mild back pain on left multiple times that radiated down to left labia. Any thoughts or advice?


i have haemmoroids and have been using anusol cream for the past few days. unfortunately they have not shrunk and i feel the constaint need to use the toilet only to find that i can not pass anything. iam in pain all the time which seems to radiate into my scrotum


Hello there. I need some sound guidance in my health situation. I am a female 50 years old. I have been a farmer, and worked hard all my life. I was always full of energy. Worked like 3 mules. Now I am at a dead halt. I hit a wall. I started to have double vision , severe headaches. I had 2 bad episodes of severe weakness, in which they lasted for a week. I live alone.I drove myself to the emergency center, and almost jumped the curb. They run a blood test, thyroid, urine, and it all checked normal. So i had a family doctor advise a brain scan with and without contrast. It reads on the findings. The anterior pituitary is enlarged to 9x9x9 mm and has a convex superior border that encroaches upon the optic chiasm as it bows into the suprasellar region. The impression states--- Hypertrophy of the anterior pituitary without discrete mass or differential enhancement. Recommend correlation for any endocrine dysfunction.Superior aspect of anterior pituitary shows a convex border that encroaches upon but does not definitively impinge the optic chiasm. Please let me know the best and what type of testing I need to get my life back on track. I am even having trouble concentrating and it is effecting my memory .... Thank-You also if you recommend a top notch endocrinologist in upstate South Carolina would also be helpful.


Hi there, Im trying to self-diagnose something. Basically, Ive had a few ingrown hair scares that I thought were possibly HSV II. Theyve always turned out to be ingrown hairs. Im very careful about protection etc. but Im concerned now that I again have a possible HSV II issue (that may just be an ingrown hair). Im 26, 135 lbs, 59, no health issues, and my question is - can HSV II or genital HSV I be just one bump close to the crease between my leg and my pubis mons? Because that is what I have, one little bump (that is very possibly an in-grown hair). Ive been reading that genital herpes is usually a cluster of sores. What do you think?

Hi, I m 36 weeks pregnant and concerned about my health. I ve been having pelvic pains for several weeks now and was unable to get physio because it was too late. I m not sleeping at all as my pelvis is clicking and my legs lock up in bed and I m having to hold onto my radiator to get out of bed in the mornings and to help me move my legs. This pain is affecting me both physically and mentally as I m constantly feeling low aswell as being in alot of pain. My pelvis can t cope with the weight any longer and I m afraid of it cracking or breaking which is making me very apprehensive about labour. Will my doctor induce me at 37 weeks for this?


Hello, I hope you can help me.I had an MRI which revealed I have a herniated disk at L5 causing nerve pain down my right leg. I had a nerve root injection at the end of August which was meant to relieve inflammation and allow my disk to heal. Unfortunately it only gave me a few days relief and the pain is back. I am due to have a lumbar steroid epidural in 1 months time but have just found out I am 5 weeks pregnant. I have not yet informed the chronic pain clinic through which I am being treated, I believe the injection I am booked in to have in 1 months time will be done under intensive imaging. My query is- is it safe for me to still go ahead with the injection (I need to inform the clinic) will they still perform the lumbar epidural (I will be 9 weeks pregnant when it is due to take place). Also, is it likely I will be able to go through to full term with pregnancy? Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

Hi, I have a blister like inside my mouth and it is in the inside part of my cheek, it is very small and not visible but I can feel it with my tongue, it has been there for more than a year now it never goes away and every time i get pain right in front of my ears that blister gets really big like huge, and at times i feel numbness on one side of my face but the shooting pain its almost always there on my face. I dont know if all this is related or they are symptoms from different conditions. I dont know what to do every time i go to a doctor, the doctor says \"I cant see or feel anything with my finger like a blister inside the mouth\", but as i said earlier its not visible but i feel it with my tongue and it gets huge and then goes back to its normal size again. The pain is very sharp. What could it be? I am afraid its nothing cancerous related. Please advise


Hi Dr. Grief Yes, Thank you . I have a number of issues going on simultaneously that could be contributing to this odd, relatively new symptom, so probably it is nothing to worry about, but i thought i would just ask... my muscles all over my body will cramp up and get completely stuck and almost deformed looking and feeling! I cant say that there is pain but it does not feel pleasant trying to contort them back in to place. I had a surgery in 2010 that resulted in a DVT and 16 large pulmonary emboli that I know did some damage to my left leg and one toe and does cause me some pain, but that really isnt where this muscle contorting is coming from. Also, I have Lyme disease and suffer tremendously with that... but again I have been dealing with it for almost 3 years so I feel this is a possible cause, but odd that it has started this late, but understandable, as Lyme disease is a hateful PAINFUL experience and horrible with its intensity and constant new and obsolete injustices! So, possibly this weird one as well?! The last thought I have that could be causing the muscle issue, is that i am taking a medicine for my severe migraines. It does cause tingling, so could this be interfering with my muscles all over my body and neck too? I would hate to stop a medicine that has been my first help for migraines since childhood. I would appreciate any feedback or helpful suggestions! Thank you for your time! Tracie


I am 30 years old and trying to conceive last 1st time in last 1yr but no result.

I had a welt-like rash on my upper arms, shoulders and back last night after dinner. It spread rapidly and moved around those parts of my body. My wrists and hands were also itchy with bumps. This morning I woke up with a sore throat and runny nose, like I had a cold. What could it be?


It started a few months ago....i noticed when I awake in the morning or it may wake me up, my toes are burning...the sheet lying lightly on top of my toes increases the pain..also, my knees started throbbing severely at the same time....I almost feel its virus related....the pain in my toes often radiates upward, but its a different foot or toe, its random...the burning is the problem...there is some burning in my hands, but slightly less intense as the toes...toes are bad....they are NOT HOT OR SWOLLEN

Now I have repeated my USG yesterday and have three lumps in right and one in left breasts. Am having pain from the week of ovulation till the menstruation on both breasts. Is this can be turned cancer? Do this need needle incision for further check up? Do I need to change my lifestyle to avoid such things.


My son bumped his mouth with his arm and a hot wheel car. Now the gum above his front tooth is hanging and bloody and I can see the upper part of his tooth that would normally be concealed by his gum. Does he need to see the dentist or will this heal on its own? I feel that a flap of gum would not just reattach itself and probably needs a stitch ...
