I was doing some sweeping of my house yesterday. Ever since the I have been extremely dizzy. I have had at least 9 concussions and have neck issues. I also have 2 buldging discs and have had a compression fracture of my spine. I have done some research and think it could be Cervical Vertigo. | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, From history it seems that this problem might be due to pinched nerve pressure due to problem in your cervical spines. While giving uneven pressure on neck like sweeping or nodding movement at neck might give pressure causing nerve irritation producing pain or vertigo. Go for neck exercises, cervical traction, short way diathermy etc. Avoid putting pillow under the neck while sleeping. Ok and take care. |
Hi, I am a 54 year young lady and in 2002 I was diagnosed with invasive squamous cell carcinoma in my righr sinus cavity. After my face was layed open and tumor removed then went through 29 radiation treatments, and all has been great until a few weeks ago I have started having simular symptons and I waterpick sinus cavity now at least 3-4 times a week. Any suggestions? Thanks,Robbin | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Thanks for writing in. Squamous cell cancer of the sinus cavity might become recurrent in some people. It is important that you follow up with your doctor and then get evaluated for possible recurrence. Medical literature says that squamous cell cancers have definite metastatic potential, and patients should be followed regularly after initial treatment. Overall, local recurrence rates after treatment of primary cancer ranged from about 3% to 23%, depending upon anatomic site. About 58% of local recurrences manifest within 1 year, 83% within 3 years, and 95% within 5 years. Please consult your doctor at the earliest and take treatment should there be any recurrence. Please do not worry. |

Hi, I have an itching left arm pit since long time. It itches almost the entire day and specially more when I sweat. The entire arm pit has turned dark. There is a slight discoloration starting in the right as well. A Dermatologist once prescribed me Flucos Gel, which I used for a couple of weeks or so but had very little improvement.

Hi how are you well my mothers 85 years old she had sever stoffmach pain so my sister who lives with rushed her to the hospitals emergency room they ran many tests and found a small spot on her spleen that might be cancer a and in the pass she complained that most foods for the exception of foods that sugary and sweet have hardly any tast so she prefers mostly sweets now recently she tells me that all food tast sweet could this be a side affect of cancer and if so what are her chances of serviving this could the right diet revers this give us your best advice we really would appreciate.. | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi.First there cannot be a cancerous spot on the spleen. IN a patient who is 85 years this can be due to an infarct or hematoma. And cause severe pain. Since you have given history related to food habits and taste, it is possible she has other forms of gastrointestinal disease, which needs a thorough investigation. I would advise CT scan of the abdomen, upper GI Endoscopy and tests of blood, urine and stool. I can understand the feeling you have about your Mother. If there is no cancer, she can live much longer. |

I have been diagnosed with biceps tendinopathy and supraspinatus tenosynovitis of the right shoulder following a vehicle accident over 7 months ago and despite a steroid injection and months of physical therapy, I can barely move my right shoulder, is there any real help for this? | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, As you met an accident where you were diagnosed with biceps retinopathy and supraspinatus tenosynovitis I wonder why the shoulder functions have not resumed even after 6 months. Have you taken an MRI of the shoulder? If so what was the reports? If not then please do take it. I suspect this to be a rotator cuff injury. Because any injury happening to the shoulder with two muscle injury falls in the group. The rotator cuff muscles are weak. You need to work out behind it. Shoulder function can resume only when we have good range of motion in passive for all the movements and also if we overcome the pain. In fact, I should share one of the rotator cuff injury cases of mine. It was a case of 65 years old female with the above-mentioned injury. No passive or active shoulder movements. But to overcome the problems, I use to make the muscle tire by active ROM exercises and no weights. Just gravity assisted and gravity resisted ones. In fact all the shoulder movements like - flexion, extension, rotation, abduction, adduction and circumduction. At the end of the 12th week, she had the best movements without any kind of pain and shoulder was much stronger than before. I will advise you to look for a competitive physiotherapist who can help you get the best outcome score. If left untreated it will lead to other pathologies which are not accepted. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor. |

HI my 18 month old daughter has red eyes for 4 days, they are not overly red so I don think it is pink eye, however she is rubbing them as if they itch, it started with one eye and now appears to be both, thus far she has had no other symptoms and is eating, drinking and playing as normal | You are a doctor.

I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically. Regards - |
My mother is 77yo. She had most of her bowel removed 4 months ago due to cancer. At the time she was diagnosed as stage 4, as it had spread to her lungs and liver. The latter is now quite enlarged and she experiences severe intermittent pain. Recently a clear sticky fluid has begun weeping from her skin, around the eyes and neck, with a significant amount now coming from the lower legs. This morning there was also blood trickling from her calf, her feet have become a very dark shade of purple.I have called the palliative care people, who dismiss it as "the progression of the disease". What causes this? Can it be treated? is it a sign she is nearing the end of her life? | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | HiT hanks for your query. It appears that she is at the terminal stage of her disease. This current problem may be due to low protein in blood or compromised skin integrity or a coagulation abnormality. I am afraid there is no specific treatment for this and the doctors who have evaluated her are the best persons to suggest if there is any. Hope this helps. Regards. |
Hi, I have a similar case to this one, in a 5 years old:my 3 year old child fainted today. she was outside in the hot sun and was eating an ice popsicle. she suddenly cried out. walked 2 feet to where her mother was and fainted. i picked her up straight away and she awoke. when asked she said she had a pain around the nasel area but does not remember fainting .any clue?I suspect vaso-vagal fainting due to the cold popsicle She had a similar case 3 years ago, which ended in pre-syncope. (she didnt faint as happened today...)In the last 3 years she has eaten hundreds of ice popsicles and ice creams, nothing happend....Thanks. | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | It might still be a vasovagal attack. Has your child any dental problems like fillings, etc.? Because the raw nerve roots at the base of the teeth are connected to the vagus nerve. When these nerve roots get irritated, she might experience a short period of fainting, but when they are not irritated, she might eat her entire ice cream without any problems. |

I have been having lower back pain with shooting pain in both legs. Also have been having bouts with diarrhea several times weekly with pain in the lower part of belly right above the pelvic bone. I am wondering if these two things might be related. | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi I am Chat Doctor. . In my opinion you have a kind of sciatica due to nerve compression, actually these two symptoms are not related, but bowel movements may exaggerate the pain sensation. For my patients I may recommend physiotherapy, hot massages, spinal straightening exercises will be helpful, painkillers like Advil tabs when needed, gentle massaging with anti-inflammatory gels, B12 vitamin supplements, muscle relaxants will be effective for most of the cases, in more severe and chronic cases steroid tabs or injections are prescribed. If pain persists I recommend MRI scan on your spine to exclude any spinal disc herniation and follow them up with your neurologist for proper evaluation and management.

basically i have been repeating myself alot lately i used to do it in the past but its been more common. its not like a stutter or stammer its only with one word out of a sentence. i will be speaking normally and then it hits me and i find my self repeating the word or sentance over and over sometimes even up to 20times. the wierdest thing is i can break away from saying it but to carry on telling the story i have to repeat it again. i was wondering if you have any answers as to what could be happening. | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. From the description it is not easy to diagnose you properly. But I see a case of obsession here without any underlying physical / physiological cause. You had that disturbing sensation once. You expected it to happen again and tried. Then you started experiencing it as you were expecting it. Then your body brought the familiar symptom because you are expecting it. Then you started worrying that the symptom is coming again and again and expect it. Body brings it again as you are expecting it. You become worried and so on. That is obsession in simple terms. Ignore it and the problem vanishes. Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck. |

I have had very heavy and painful periods for many years.....I am trying to conceive right now (miscarried in November, ectopic in March which resulted in losing my right tube.....is there any chance for me and could the cause be rooted in my heavy, lumpy and painful periods? | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hallow Madam, Since you have conceived twice in your life, there are very good chances that you will conceive again. However, the history of ectopic pregnancy cannot be ignored, and you will have to be on the guard for it. The best option is to monitor the ovulation by ultrasonography and time your sexual intercourse on the day of egg release. You will have to submit for the ultrasonography day 9 onwards for about 5-6 days. This should give you better results. If you choose to have pregnancy when the egg from the side on which tube is intact is selected, the chances of pregnancy will still be higher. I hope this helps you. |

I was bitten two days ago by a fire ant, three times on my middle toe on my left foot. It became inflamed and red very quickly. I used benadryl, it stopped the itching. Yesterday morning the swelling had spread to all 4 small toes and into my foot. My doctor prescribed prednisone and topical steroid cream. Also told me to take zyrtec or clariton over the counter. I took the steroid and it seemed to reduce the swelling but by the evening two of the insect bites were black and the surrounding area was also black and swollen. I soaked my foot in epsome salts that helped the pain and reduced the redness and swelling some. Today the bites are still very black and swollen but not exceptionally painful. Should I be concerned? Should I lance them and soak again? | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor It would be best not to puncture them because they can introduce infection if the technique is not sterile. You may want to add anti-inflammatory painkillers to your current regimen. They would help with pain relief and also reduce the inflammation due to the bites. Examples are ibuprofen, naproxen should continue your other medication and can also the foot baths. It is possible that the bites may become infected so if there is no improvement you may need a course of antibiotics. I hope this helps |

26 yo female - 5 6 145lbs. I recently missed the bottom 2 stairs and fractured my ankle. I have been to the DR recently for an annual physical. All bloodwork/labs show normal including thyroid and hormones. The night I fell and fractured my ankle, about 5 min after the fall I got extremely hot, started sweating, and got light headed. I felt like I was going to pass out. I lost hearing except for a high pitch ringing noise. This lasted a minute or two.

Four years ago I had protected sex with a woman (I am male) and 3 days later had a terrible burning sensation on my penis and testicles. No rash or discharge, just terrible skin burning. Since then, it has come and gone, but always been slightly present. Sometimes, however, it becomes intolerable. I have been tested for all STDs several times, prostatitis and herpes four times - always with negative results. In fact, the most recent herpes blood test was done in December 2010, with negative results for both HSV1 and HSV2. I have also visited a urologist who did no tests and told me it was probably not a urology problem. A neurologist did some minor tests but found nothing. There are no marks, no lesions, no spots, no discharge, no bumps or anything other than an incredibly painful penis and testicles. Occasionally it "feels" like there are cuts or tears, but there has never actually been any. Sometimes, when I am standing it feels a little less painful. When I am sitting, the burning can also be felt in the thighs. Do you have ANY idea what this might be or what I could try to alleviate it? It has been many years and I am at my wits end. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, It could be an urethritis.

My sister has been coughing for 1 month. A doctor suggested that she take an x-ray. The result came out a saying that there are suspicious densities on her upper lobe and apicolordotic view is suggested . Her doctor is currently on leave and we are already worried about the result, we cant wait for her to comeback. What are the possible diseases that may have caused this densities? Also, what maybe the cause for having her take this apicolordotic view. | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Suspicious densities mean the radiologist isn't sure whether there are densities or not and if there are then what ? Apicolordotic view will confirm whether there are densities or not, as the clavicle will not obstruct the view. Most probably it looks like tuberculosis if there are upper lobe densities, however we need to do further investigations to confirm and clinically confirm a disease |

My daughter and son in law have been trying for 2 years to have a baby. In that time they have suffered 2 miscarriages. They have 1 unsuccessful attempt at artificial insemination and 1 unsuccessful IVF treatment. The doctors say it is unexplained infertility. They are both healthy in every way. So I discovered the Natura Cure product and want to know if it is safe and worth giving it a try before I recommend it to them? | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, I have gone through your query. NaturaCure is a herbal product, and it claims to treat infertility, but Success has not been documented. It is better to avoid all these products. As you have mentioned that they have gone for IVF also, then there may be some abnormality in semen analysis or uterine problem in your daughter. You can upload their reports on my page so that I can have look at it. Better than Naturalize, give him Oligocene and her Ova care. Hope I have answered you. You can contact me on my page http://bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Regards |
hi ive been suffering lower abdominal pain now for 7 months ive been to the gp numerous times and have been referred for an ultrasound scan, recently after sexual intercourse i started bleeding bright red fresh blood, after the intercourse myself and my partner could feel like a lump on the front wall of my cervix and abdominal pain increased | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, thank you for your query, Vaginal bleeding, and a cervical mass may indicate the presence of malignancy. Also, moderate pain during sexual intercourse and vaginal discharge are symptoms of cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is a malignant neoplasm arising from cells originating in the cervix uteri. The pain in your lower abdomen is mostly because of the lump on the cervix. The most common cause for cervical cancer is Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)At this point i would suggest you to undergo a basic Pap Screening and a further Biopsy of the lump to confirm the diagnosis. Depending on that your OB/GUN will start the prescribed treatment.thanking you, wishing you good health |

I am a vet tech at a small animal hospital. I was scratched during a dog nail trim a week ago. It has almost fully healed but now I m getting sever pain in my arm from the elbow to my hand, on the bottom side (sensitive ski. Area) is there any concern from the scratch or is this something totally different? No swelling and no rash. | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Thank you for contacting us. I will to ad Chat Doctor. The single most important thing to rule out here is an infection. Antibiotics are prescribed for bite wounds to prevent infection in certain situations. For example, if:1. You have been bitten by a cat. All cat bites are usually treated with antibiotics, as they are much more likely to get infected than dog bites.2. The bite wound is on an arm or leg - especially a hand. These sites are particularly prone to nasty infections that can cause severe damage after a dog or cat bite.3. The wound is large, deep or punctured. A puncture wound may not look large but may go deep into the tissues.4. Your injury needed an operation to clean it out, or repair the damage.5. Your resistance to infection is low. For example, if you are on chemotherapy; have no working spleen; have diabetes; have an immune system problem such as AIDS.6. You have an artificial heart valve (and sometimes, if you have an artificial joint). Antibiotics will also be prescribed if your wound has already become infected. It might be infected if:It is getting more painful rather than improving as time goes by. It has become red or swollen. It is oozing. Sometimes the doctors exam will discover some red lines in the skin of the arm - this is known as lymphangitis - this also needs antibiotics. Best to get this checked by your doctor as soon as possible. I hope this helps. Please message me back if you have any further questions. Best wishes and I hope you get better soon.A |

Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, I will suggest you to continue the spine strengthening exercises as advised by a professional physiotherapist. Avoid over straining your spine. Do not lift heavy weights. Do not lean down to lift a weight placed on floor. Sit in a lordosis posture (your tummy protruding in front) on chair. If you need to lift a weight from floor you need to sit on floor first and stand up with a strong support. If physiotherapy keeps your spine healthy you can wait on being operated. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

I feel like I constantly need a wee like someone has put a weight in my bladder and everytime I go to the toilet after a few seconds I m in so much pain that I m nearly crying or make a painful noise and I have to stop myself from weeing. I thought it was just normal after I had sex about 3 weeks ago but it has been on and off a lot since then and it s resulted in me holding in my wee because I don t like going to the toilet | You are a doctor.

I broke my wrist 3 weeks ago today (compression fracture) and my fingers are still swollen and it cracks a lot. Is this normal? I have not taken any pain medication and by far am not a baby about pain, but I would say this is most often very uncomfortable. | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, As mentioned in history about the compression fracture, were you in the cast for 3 days? If so then this is just weakness of the muscles and will become better with simple exercise of the hand and wrist. Using hot water fermentation for relaxing the muscle will be also helpful before the exercises. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor. |

I thought I sprained my ankle badly week and a half ago and did the RICE therapy. On Monday I saw an orthopedist who said I had actually fractured my fibula and put me in an air cast. She said I could walk without crutches on the cast and that my swelling would go down. My foot is still swollen, but the troubling thing is that in the past 2 days I have gotten extremely light headed and felt like I was going to faint (this has never happened before). This has happened after long periods of walking/moving around. Could this be related to my ankle? | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, What I would say is this nowhere related to the fracture of the fibula. Next thing I would like to know are you on any medications? If so please check this could be related to that. Also, what is your age? Are you on any High blood pressure medication? Are you diabetic? If the above one doesn't fit your category than this should be just having weakness of the body and nothing else. For swelling, I would advise you to keep the leg elevated over a pillow at most times because you have a cast applied and also there is very less mobility, so there will be an obvious chance of reduced venous return. Keeping the leg elevated helps more. Try having Lemon juice with added auger and pinch of salt for dizziness. Rest assured, you should do well. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor. |
hi, im michelle and im 20, ive had a stroke 3 years ago and now im wearing a walk aid on my right leg. however, the right side is affected and i cant feel anything. although, recently, my right heel hurts. i did some research and the two that popped out the most is the heel busitis and heel spur. usually its fine in the morning but then it right leg and heel hurts like crazy. should isee a doctor or possibly take some treatments. what do you think? | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, as mentioned by you the brief history of you I will recommend to first take an x-ray and confirm that it's a spur. Also, post that your physician may help with treatment which will help ease the symptoms. Next to understand is that this spur once confirmed needs an attention by doing some exercises for feet and also getting a shoe insole. Which will help further to avoid the pain and reduce the inflammation.regards. Jay In Chat Doctor. |
My baby boy is 11 months old. For the last 3 weeks, he has been developing a rash (like mosquito bite as it starts with tiny dot and while going it leaves a black pigment mark, which usually feds away in one day). The rash occurs every 2 or 3 days. What can be the cause? | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Possibly chemical induced rash from clothes. Look for any relation with specific food, environment or clothes.2. Location of rash is important to correlate. Food could be generalized, whereas others will be localized.3. Apply calamine lotion locally and if excessive redness then antihistamine syrup can be given. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again. |

The causes of the swelling of the feet are hypovitaminosisB, anemia, heart failure, etc. I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.

Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Dear Mrs, There is a little possibility that your medication can cause high blood pressure. Sometimes they can cause high blood pressure in the beginning of the treatment but blood pressure normalizes after some time. So, don't panic. If blood pressure is not more than 150/90, try lifestyle changes for 3 months, cut the amount of salt intake and exercise regularly. Take care |
