At the area of the pain was now a hardened cord with a bit of a bump at the middle of the cord. It is not visible but can be palpated. It seemed like my penis took longer to become flaccid after that. I stopped any masturbation and let it rest for a week. It seemed nearly better but masturbating very gently caused it to return somewhat. I have gone a bit more than a week without masturbation now but want to check that something like this will go away and not be any long term damage. I still feel a dull pain at the area at times when the penis is flaccid. No issues with erections or ejaculation. Is this a lymph or vein issue? Will NSAIDS help or is there anything to help with lymphatic drainage/healing?

He does a lot of strength training and aerobics. he did not get continuous 2 hours sleep too 24 hours before the medical test. I thought this would have increased the blood pressure and for an aerobics person heart muscles get thickend as per my knowledge.

She was on diluadid in the hospital and she was good she dosed off but was coherent when she was awake. Now that we have brought her home they sent her with Oxycodone IR 80 mg and she immediately became a mental mess. She mumbles and is trying to pick up things that are not there and she can not answer anything. She is also on Morphine liquid and is to take a .25 on the syringe if she has pain in between the 4hr intervals of oxycodone. Anyway, I acted on my belief that she is over medicated or having a very bad reaction to oxycodone. Last night I did not give her the oxycodone but only gave her the morphine and gave it to her every 4 hrs. Before the 3rd dose would have been due it was like she woke up, she got out of bed went to the kitchen got something to drink and gave me very sensible intructions on what she wanted from the store. She has not been eating or drinking anything for a week and if she went to the bathroom it would take at least on hour just to get her down the hall because she would stop and try to pick up stuff that was not there. She made absolutely no sense at all. She couldn t hold a glass or eat. I asked her several times if she was in pain and she clearly replied no she was ok. So when her oxycodone was due again I gave it to her instead of morphine and she was once again out of her mind and not in this world. I do not want my friend in pain at all and I do understand that at this point, the point is to just make sure she is pain free. I want her pain free. I am aware that she will not be able to communicate before this is all over but I do not think this is the time. So, my question is what would cause her to have such a bad reaction to the oxycodone? Is it because her liver is not working right ? if that is it why don t the morphine mess her up like that? I just really believe she would not want to spend her last few months incapacitated if she didn t have to be.

The cough started last June. I waited until July to see my family doctor. He gave me cough medicine with codeine, an inhaler, and put me on prednisone. When I went back the next week for a follow-up, the cough was worse and I was struggling to breathe. He gave me another round of prednisone and changed the inhaler. At my follow-up visit with his the next week, he threw up his hands and sent me to a lung specialist and a heart specialist. Loooooooooooooooong story short, after EKGs and a nuclear stress tests, the heart doctor said, Whatever is causing your airway constriction, it s not coming from your heart. The lung specialist sent me for x-rays of the upper chest and neck, CT scans of the upper chest and neck, breathing tests at a local hospital, etc., and finally said, Whatever is causing your breathing issues, it s not coming from your lungs.

I ve had lower abdominal pains which have worsened over the past three months. I was in hospital six months ago with an infection which was diagnosed as a sizeable cyst of 4inches on my left ovary but nothing was done and I wasn t given a follow up appointment. Since then, a similar pain has developed but worse on my right side which some days leaves me doubled over and a pain in my lower back started about a month ago. The pain in my left side is more of a dull ache which never goes away but the pain in my right sometimes is a sharp, burning pain. Some days it feels like extreme period pains but I never used to suffer during that time and now I m sometimes bedridden for a couple of days. I m not sure if its linked. I finally plucked up the courage three weeks ago to go and see a doctor who took blood tests. I d been told to go back this morning for my results. Unfortunately, the original lady doctor I d seen has since left the surgery and my appointment this morning was with a male doctor. He told me my levels of CA125 were 67 and although slightly elevated, it was nothing to worry about. He has arranged for a pelvic ultrasound in three weeks. However, he has ruled it out as anything to do with my ovaries and is suggesting that because of the pain in my back, it could be something called Scoliosis . He has also referred me to a musculoskeletal Clinic for an assesment. I ve never had any problems with my back previously. I can t see how this can explain the severe pains I m having and why this wasn t explored further when I was in hospital. I also can t find anything on the internet about what the level of CA125 should be? Should I get a second opinion or just wait for three weeks till my ultrasound? I d refrained from getting worried or reading anything on the internet till just now because what the doctor said, doesn t make sense. Now I m concerned that some of the symptoms of ovarian cancer are symptoms I ve had over the past couple of months. I m 31 yrs old and have never had children. I am asthmatic though and my recent cervical smear came back clear as did the other blood tests they did for thyroids etc. I m sure though that after I d told the doctor how I was feeling he would ve mentioned it as a possibility but he didn t mention it at all.

So this is an issue that requires a lot of background info, so here we go. In January of 2013, I had a mysterious and large mass appear on the right side of my neck. There were two parts to the mass, one solid and one filled with pus. No known cause, but whenever I had a needle biopsy done there was nothing coming out of the solid half of the mass so there were never any conclusive results. I had a CT scan done and there was another mass found on the outside of my lungs, but this one was benign. ENT surgically removed the neck-mass and the mass in chest was overlooked due to benign status. So, fast forward to January of 2014, I had to get a follow-up CT scan on the chest mass, and when I got the results a month later I was told that it was now about half the size than it was a year sooner (Good news!). In April, two lumps appeared on the back of my neck, one on the back right side and the other on the back left side. Along with this, there was a bit of swelling on the outer side of my right arm. I was given some antibiotics and sent home. The two lumps on the back of my neck are still there and very solid, but never hurt. The swelling on my right arm has never gone away, and it sometimes has small bursts of pain but nothing to stop me from any regular activity. Finally, recently, there has been some swelling on the left side of my neck, but it isn t similar to the lump I had on the right side of my neck. This swelling seems like soft tissue. Any idea what this may be? During the multiple biopsies and tests the hospital I was with had ran, there were zero signs of tuberculosis and lymphoma. An infectious disease specialist said that it may have been kikuchi disease, but there were no tests to run for it so it was only a theory. I didn t think it would be kiuchi, because I had fit none of the symptoms. If you re able to help, I would truly appreciate it.

The first time I ovulated around day 17/18 of my cycle and this time the fertility monitor has shown high levels of estrogen from day 12 - till today day 19 and I still haven t peaked and ovulated. Is late ovulation a problem? Is there a way of regulating when I ovulate? Could this be why I am struggling to conceive? Thanks so much in advance for your help."} {"_id": "00814", "text": "So....Im 39, a smoker and on the contraceptive pill.......local doc said I need to change to the mini pill or other method.

It is painful in the front, where the leg meets the pelvic bone. Sometimes I hear a snap when I change from a standing to a sitting position.

My hips are arthritic and the right one has bone spurs, but there s still a little cartilage there. It s not bone on bone. Celebrex 2 times a day has not alleviated the condition at all, so I don t think it s inflammation from arthritis. I think it s the ligaments in the front.

They called it cellulitis. They gave him a shot of antibiotics and a prescription for cephalexin (to start taking today). I have been measuring his leg in about the same spot everyday and it has been about 14 inches around at that spot (including this morning) I measured it about a half hour ago and it is now 14 and 3/4 in that spot.The redness has also increased. Do I need to take him back to the hospital or give the antibiotics more time? Thanks."} {"_id": "00939", "text": "Hi, I am 21 weeks pregnant and I am suffering from loss of appetite and nausea.

My ribs do not hurt except for that particular area. I cannot wear a bra or anything that will slightly squeeze the area as it causes a constant pain that feels like the area is a constant cramp. If i stand too long I get relief from hunching over as stretching the area just plainly feels like torture. In fact that s how I discovered the lump between my ribs. I have long hair so I put it up a lot and it s been painful to lift my arms to put it in a ponytail. I have noticed this pain for a while now. (Months) I ignored it because I blamed it on my back and the herniated discs I have. Three right around where my bra fastens in the back and three on the bottom L3-4 through L5-S1. Now it it unignorably painful and I realize it has nothing to do with my back. It feels like a tight gripping constant cramp in the middle of my chest right in my xiphoid process area. There s been no trauma or injury or explainable cause for this pain. There is a noticeable bump mostly hard it s about 3 or so inches long. I can t tell how wide.

I was taken to the emergency room and received a good cleaning along with 2 stitches, X-rays revealed there were no objects or debris left inside the wound and my leg was not broken but had hyperextended during the crash. I visited an Orthopedic surgeon Wednesday the 29th of October where I was prescribed antibiotics but wasnt given a promise that it would prevent infection. I am in so much agony and pain as of right now, not only has the pain gotten worse but it is traveling up from my shin to my knee cap as well. I am almost 100% certain my puncture has gotten infected, I keep it clean and wrapped with gauze but it stays swollen and hot to the touch. I have become nauseous and lost my appetite these past 2 days and have noticed a bruise on the heel of my left foot which seems to grow increasingly. I did not notice the bruise until yesterday and it was dime size, now it is the size of a half dollar coin and is very purple. I am concerned I may have an infection in my bone as well because of the excruciating pain inside of my shin and knee cap now. I will call my Orthopedic Surgeon on Monday morning to schedule an appointment. What are the chances it may be developing into gangrene? Should I go ahead to the emergency room or can I wait? All other areas of my body that were injured have healed beautifully except for my left shin.

An U/S on Feb. 3/14 shows 9mm left of my appendix and I am wondering if I still need surgery to remove that piece. I have not got my energy back, but every day is a little better, but I am so tired after 8pm at night I cannot keep my eyes open. I was supposed to see the surgeon Friday, Feb. 14th but he cancelled due to an emergency. I have had to take a considerable time off of work and lost another day Friday, so I am trying to decide if maybe I should just forego the surgery, however this tiredness makes me wonder if I am still recovering from the appendicitis or does this indicate that I should have it removed, or is this common to still be so tired. Prior to this happening, I never went to bed until 12-1 in the am and 5 hours sleep was plenty for me. I work as a lab tech in a busy Family Health Team for the last 7 years, full time on the go, so this is very out of the norm for me. Any thoughts? I would appreciate your opinion even though my doctors at work keep assuring me that is normal, I am still recovering, etc., no one has actually said if I still need surgery.

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 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.

We started to make out recently-not sex yet-however i noticed that i never see the head of the penis. It is covered with the foreskin. I tried pulling it back but he had a lot of pain. He said he can retract the foreskin when flaccid. He uses oil. However i never saw the skin retracting when he is erect. He said he has been like this from childhood. My initial thought was that this is phimosis. He said his problem is a short frenulum. He also looks really small down there-like 3-4 inches when erect. So 1) does he have a frenulum breve or phimosis 2) Can a short frenulum cause the head of the penis not to be exposed at all? the photos i have seen of this condition show the glans pointing downwards. With this man it is not like that-instead the glans is not exposed at all. 3) could his small size be due to problems like phimosis or frenulum breve? Can these conditions limit erections? 4) if he gets treated for will there be any increase in size at least up to an inch? I am not looking for a big guy it is just his small size worries me.

The range should be 6-29 and mine is 35. I looked back on my previous tests when I was under another doctor s care BEFORE I was taking cholesterol medication and it was 28. The range they showed though was from 0-40 as acceptable, not 6-29. This most recent test was done because I was diagnosed with a benign hemangioma on my liver which was found incidentally looking for something else, a benign fatty mass on my kidney. I am also wondering if my high ALT is the reason my glucose is so high. It is 119. Before when I was tested under my other doctor when my ALT was low my glucose was low too. It was 92 so I feel there could be a connection between the 2 readings. So while my cholesterol is low, 174, due to the statins, my ALT and glucose are high as well. My current cholesterol reading after going through a life style change WITHOUT statins is 264. Do you think it s the statins that are causing my high ALT readings? Or is it the benign hemangioma on my liver? I am also concerned my medications are affecting my glucose negatively. I ate less healthy when my glucose was low.

Usually occurs 2-3 times a week recently. At the end of the work day or sometimes during the day the bottom of my chest area which I am pretty sure is the Xiphoid Process area has an unusual tightness. Literally the middle of my torso. It usually will take 1-2 hours after work when at home for it to subside. Then when I press on that hole location at the bottom of the sternum and just above that on the bone itself it is tender and tight, which causes some trouble breathing and hyperventilating. In the past, I ve suffered from panic attacks but this is something different. Again, I believe it to be related to stress as I have an anxious feeling when it occurs and I definitely am going through a lot more stress than I ever have with work, personal life, etc all at the same time. Also, I ve been sitting down a lot more at work and I m not sure if it s because I ve been slouching forward too much.

They took the material away, investigated inside to check the root canal was alright and replaced the filing using less pressure (I think they also changed the type of material) and in two parts so it would impart less pressure.

The first hospital that we went to, told us that he has chronic heartburn which he does, then they gave us Omeprazole and Zofran to stop the vomiting. We went home later that night he started to vomit again, not even water would stay inside of him. I took him back to the hospital and they told us the same thing again. I took him home and watched him suffer. I decided that I could not watch him suffer anymore, so I took him to a Private hospital. The first hospital was public. The private hospital ran a bunch of tests and they determined that he has very bad ulcers and it is actually blocking his stomach. This is the reason why he cannot keep food down. They decided to put a tube inside of him in order to get the gastric acids out. My husband stopped vomiting and he is now sitting in the hospital with this tube. The second thing that they told us is that he has fistulas in his gallbladder and it is communicating with other organs. They told us that although he does not have an infection, this has to be fixed. They also told us that he is a very strange case because he is so young, he is 26 years old. They also told us that he has two foreign objects inside of him, then after the endoscopy they told us that it might be ulcers that calcified. They told us that they are not able to deal with his case and he has to be transferred. My husband has been waiting to be transferred for two days and the big hospital stated that they do not have a bed yet. My question is, are the doctors lying? Are they simply trying to run experiments on him because he is rare? Why wont they show us his Cat Scan?"} {"_id": "02677", "text": "My sister was just admitted to the hospital last week.

What I m going to tell you is what I think is wrong with me but you may prove me wrong and give me a better answer so here I go. First off, I have to start off with my first problem, I have Brachial plexus injury in my left arm due to the fact that my doctor pulled me out of my mother s womb when he should of done a c-section. Always he ripped my shoulder tearing a nerve cause me to lose control in my arm. Due to great parent, the worked with my arm so by the age of two I regained control of my left arm again. Though I can only half feel in my arm and half control my arm, I m not that mad about it. However, this is where your going to think I m weird, but please continue to follow with me. Due to being sick for a while I went to a doctor to get some meds. (I did get better but not with the doctors meds just to let you know) Anyways, this doctor, not my normal family doctor,(he was on vacation) keep asking about my period every time I came back to the doctor about the meds. (Big thing is I ve always had a tough time with my period, I was on birth control when I was in grade 9 to help with the heavy cramps and pains during my period, however I ve always had one period that s fine and one that is late over and over again, I never know when I m going to have it. It could be a few days or 2 to 3 weeks after it s due.) So the doctor ask me if my period has started and I told him no, cause this was the one that was always late. So after going to the doctors three times, he gives me the birth control pills for 3 months to take without taking any breaks between them. I m on my 2nd one of the 3 and I am leaking old period stuff.

Should I still be worried or get a second opinion?"} {"_id": "03153", "text": "I am a self employed, 48 year old black male. At the age of 28 I started treatment for borderline hypertension. Several years ago I developed diarriha which has stayed for months at a time broken only by a day or less. I also had bladder problems and urinated at least 4 time during sleep hours. I have been feeling extremely ill for over 24 months. It started suddenly one day when I noted what felt like a tight band around my right wrist. My hand would later became a bit numb, but that sensation would subside. After a few weeks, the tight band sensation seemed to migrate up into my left elbow and the weakness continued. After the elbow, the weakness moved up to my shoulder and caused what I can only describe as a nearly useless left arm. it was very weakened and I was not able to lift or get much use from it. This would go on to last for several weeks. During this period I was bothered by the weakness, and assumed it was something of a pinched nerve. However,since I am a right hander, I simply used that dominate hand while waiting for the issue with the left hand to subside. The numbness in the left arm and hand lasted for more than two weeks. Just as suddenly the arm issue had arrived it disappeared. Nearly a month later the same numbness appeared to begin in my right arm. But, after a few days of the tight band feeling on my wrist, it was gone. Several days later, I began to feel what I described at the time as a slight twisting sensation in my left testicle. That light sensation soon became a full blown twisting feeling in the right testicle and up into the lower right abdominal area. On the second day, the pain in those areas was unbearable and I found myself in an emergency clinic. I was advised to alternate ice and heat on my groin area. Since no swelling was observed I was told it was ok... given advil and sent home. Over the course of the next several weeks I began to be extremely fatigued. I could only function for approximately 2 hours in the early day. No amount of sleep or rest changed that exhaustion. The exhaustion was soon followed by what I would later come to describe as almost hourly hotflashes. These hot flashes initially the hotflashes were in my face and shoulders. However, they soon spread to my shoulders, chest, and arms. Additionally, I began to feel very mentally slowed. My memory was seemingly failing and my abilities to complete my normally routine tasks became a true challenge. During these early days I was treated by my private doctor who advised me that I appeared yellowish... and might be anemic. He also informed me that my prostate was very enlarged...Complete blood panels would come to show that I had high lymphocytes, low neutrophils, low platelets, low testosterone, lowered liver and kidney functioning. Except for liver and kidney tests, These results would remain constant for the next two years testing each 60 days. Additionally, the tests would show very low vitamin D and Potassium for the entire period. After exhausting my financial resources, I was left to seek care and answers at the local VA hospital. After repeating the tests, the VA doctors continue to find those same results. Throughout this period, I have experienced night sweat from light to extremely heavy. The VA Doctors started tellng me there is no signs of lupis. They say prolonged diarriha may be irritable bowel and the hot flashes and pain in my right testicle and right groin may be in my mind. In approximately May 2011, I began to experience painful nodes in my neck and under my chin. Ocassionally, they would be swollen but most often just a bit painful. This was soon followed by a loss or change in my vocal quality. Soon, that same pain had spread to my upper chest just below the clavacles. That was followed by pain and soft puffiness in the clavacle spaces. Nothing can be felt there but soft puffy swelling... like a soft balloon on each side. Additionally, I have started having intense pain in my achilles tendons and hand tendons.The doctor ignores my thyroid questions because my TSH is within some expected ranges. All tests are negative for infection however, I feel horrible. Although those statements about these issues being in my mind have eased since the discovery of the varicocele and hydrocele in my right testicle. After nearly 18 months of the same complaints and symptoms... an ultra sound completed at my insistence would finally show the varicocele as cause of the pain. In August 2011, i was rushed to the hospital with a fever of 105 degrees. No infection was found and the fever was listed as a fever of unknown origin. After several IVs and a dose of potassium, I was sent home with a fever of 101.

I have seen my GP who had referred me to a cardiologist, neurologist and ENT. My Dr first referred me to a cardiologist after she couldn t find the cause for my dizziness to have a 24hr holter monitor the results came back as a First Degree AV Block but no further action was taken regarding this. They later done an ECO, Stress ECO, Brain MRI, Brain CT and they all came back clear. My cardiologist wasn t satisfied so he referred me to another Cardiologist interstate in Queensland for a Transcranial Doppler. My results where positive Grade 5 so 2 weeks later they attempted a PFO Closure which was unsuccessful, they could not locate the hole. After surgery they told me it was the first time this had happened to them and they were unsure of why they couldn t find the hole or a reason for the test to be positive at a Grade 5 level and he told me to see a ENT. The ENT i seen done a hearing test, allergy test and another test where they squirt water in your ear. All results come back normal except they discovered a dust might allergy. They later done food allergies and blood tests to check for other virus the results came back with no food allergies but a positive to Epstein Barr Virus. The ENT told me and made me believe it was a rare viral infection from the middle east that could be fixed with vitamins and B12 injections. I went home done some research and discovered over 95% of the population has it, i went and seen my GP the next day to discuss my results which she had sent to her to discover i do not have a current infection and the ENT had lied. I had a slight B12 deficiency so my GP gave me the injections anyway and she also gave me a dose of steroids in case it was Vestibular Neuritis but unfortunately they didn t work. My GP has referred me back to another Cardiologist in Sydney this time my appointment is in 7 weeks.

I also noticed there was a lump/bump beneath my skin at the location of the swelling and a noticeable warmth at the site. I waited a couple of days to see if the swelling would go away but when my condition stayed the same, I went to an urgent care center. They ruled out DVT based on my symptoms and they suggested it was an infection of some sort and prescribed me an antibiotic, which I never took. I wasn t 100% confident with their prognosis since there was no open wound/bite mark of any sort and the itch felt like it was beneath the skin and not topical as scratching did not alleviate the discomfort. Over the next few days, my lower leg became increasingly swollen and the bump moved to my inner calf/leg. When I noticed my ankle started to swell, I went to the ER to get an ultrasound and it too came back negative for DVT. Long story short, over the next two weeks, the lump/bump, which is now more of a mass the size of a child s fist, has migrated. What started as swelling from my lower calf has migrated to my inner calf, up to my knee, up to inner thigh, front of the thigh, and now, at the three week mark, it is on my hip. The mass is still warm to the touch, itchy, and has also left slight bruising and small residual bumps along it s path.

Only when i get hurt on my body a purple colour spot occurs and after some period of time say after six or seven days it gets lighten and disappears.my bleeding time also appears to be normal.I have been married since 7 yrs and have 2 children.earlier my platelet count used to stay within the range of 25-30 thousand,but since last 2 yrs it remains within 10-15 thousand.when iwas 11 yrs i had undergone a platelet transfusion & bone-marrow testing (the report for my bone marrow was ok),but it did not help in increasing the count.my spleen X-ray is also normal but since we have heard that the platelet count between 10-15 thousand is not normal & can cause any risk at anytime, so i just wanted to ask u what type of treatment i should follow.i dont want to undergo any surgeries or any transfusions any more & would prefer going through an ayurvedic treatment, so please suggest what should i do.
