View 4 RepliesWarfarin? Cystitis/bladder Infections?
Has anyone else had problems with cystitis/bladder infections when on Warfarin? This is a problem I have never ever experienced previously but for the last few days I seem to have had all the classic symptoms and am wondering if it could be Warfarin-related? I have been taking Warfarin for approx 7 months after a P/E and will be on it for life. My INR is very unstable, (currently 3.4....should be 2.5). A week ago I finished a one week course of antibiotics to try to clear up a chesty cough, (didn't).

Swollen Upper Arm
My left upper arm just above the inside of my elbow is swollen, I can notice the difference and it feels like the muscle although it's been like it for a couple weeks.I've recently been to the doctor as I had some breast pain she checked for lumps and checked my armpit and round nothing but I forgot to mention the swelling. She obviously didn't notice it but I'm away on holiday now and it's playing on my mind. I can't do anything for 2 weeks.
View 1 RepliesUTI :: Water Infections
I've been suffering from water infections since I was around 11/12 I am now almost 17 and recently have an infection weekly for the past few months. The doctors have given me endless antibiotics which one type I've become resistant to and the cranberry power things which you mix with water when I was younger. I literally have tried everything to avoid getting an infection including cranberry juice , barley water , water itself , cotton knickers, no perfumed products around the area , peeing straight after sex and nothing prevents it!! Really needing advice as the doctors will just give me more antibiotics also around November 2015 I had scans around my kidneys and back and everything was clear?
View 2 RepliesUpper Gastroscopy (Endoscopy) With Sedation
I am sixteen years old and had an Upper gastroscopy yesterday!
Firstly DON'T WORRY! Alls I did was worry and it really was ok.
I checked into the hospital, and waited in my bed for about half an hour. I was then taken to a pre-theatre room, where i was told to lie on my back. I had my throat sprayed and it numbed it instantly. I then had the sedation put into a vain in my hand. The doctor then told me to lie on my side, but I couldn't as I was already sedated (That's how quick it works!)
DON'T worry about the air being pumped into you, I didn't feel a thing!
The next thing I knew, I woke up and it was all over. The procedure only lasted for 5 minutes.
I waited around for about one hour for the sedation to ware off and then I went home with my mum and boyfriend.
Today I woke up with mild stomach pains due to the fact I had a BIOPSY took of my stomach, but as the day wore on they gradually got smaller.
Liver Enzymes Twice The Upper Limit
I was recently informed by my primary care doctor that my liver enzymes are nearly twice their upper limit.
I scheduled to get repeat blood work done, but I was given the impression that those enzymes are most commonly elevated by binge drinking or large doses of Tylenol.
I am a young man and have not had any alcohol in the past year (and nothing more than a glass of wine in the past 4 years) and have not taken any Tylenol (or any pain killer) for the past 6 months.
I do take allergy medication daily (Zyrtec, occasionally Benadryl), but that has not changed since my last round of blood work, in which my liver enzymes were fine.
1) Besides disease, why could my enzyme values be so high?
2) What other tests/steps would have to be preformed to determine whether or not I have an illness?
Frozen Shoulder :: Upper Arm Pain?
I've been dealing with FS since Fall. That's when I noticed the dull achy pain that I thought was from a new bra strap digging in. In December I started having the zinger pain that would shoot down my arm with sudden movements. I saw a Ortho doctor in February who gave me a Cortisone shot and sent me to 6 weeks of physical therapy. Very painful, still can't raise my arm all the way, but I haven't had that zinger pain in a while so I believe I might be starting to see the light at the end of this long tunnel.
What I'm experiencing now is an almost constant dull aching pain in my upper arm, like where you would get an injection. I also have a lot of tenderness in the area around my upper back behind my armpit.
Herpes :: White Spots Outside Of My Upper Lip?
Yesterday, I noticed a grouping of tiny white spots on the outside of my upper lip located close to the inside of my lip. They are about the size of the tip of a pen and there are several grouped together. They become very noticeable when I stretch my lip out. Does this sound like oral herpes?
Also, a co worker shared some tic tacs with me on Wednesday and after she handed them to me and I ate them I noticed what looked like a cold sore below her lip. Could it have been transmitted this way?

View 3 RepliesUpper Gastroscopy / Endoscopy Without Sedation
I can see a Colonoscopy coming my way.
Just wanted to say about 4 years ago I had to have an upper tract endoscopy (tube down throat) and was beside myself over it. I'm the biggest wimp going and very frightened of invasive procedures.
Anyway, circumstance on the day were that if I had sedation I'd have no one to drive me home afterwards but I wanted to get it over and one with.
So believe it or not I asked for it without sedation. The nurse tried to dissuade me but I stuck to my guns. I did accept the throat spray though. I calmed myself as much as I could and walked into the procedure room.
I'm please to say I managed it without sedation and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. No pain and only minimal discomfort. I did mumble about getting the endoscope out quick just before the end but by then it was nigh on all over. The examining doctor said I'd done so well to tolerate it. That made me doubly proud of myself because at the time I suffered from severe panic attacks (now thankfully gone).
Back in recovery all my fellow endoscopes who'd had their procedure before me were snoring their heads off. I waited there a while because I wanted the numbness the spray had caused to my throat to wear off. During this wait I heard other patients who had been sedated fighting, groaning, moaning and shouting during their investigation. I'm sure that would have been me if I'd been left with no control.
Now possibly got to face a colonoscopy and heading to that section to see what the score is on that front.
