View 4 RepliesOrthopedics :: Popped Dislocated Ribs By Sternum
About two years ago I had pneumonia and while violently coughing I popped 4 of my ribs by my sternum. I went to the ER and they said it was fine that they were dislocated, then a couple months later to Urgent care and they also didnt see concerned. Well the past week or so they seem to have pushed out more and are in pain and my back has been hurting extremely bad on the same side as my ribs.
Question
1) Is this dangerous?
2) Would it require surgery?
Am I Pregnant? :: Aunt Flow Still Hasn't Shown Up
My husband and I have been TTC for about 1 year. I was suppose to get my period on Sunday, it is now Thursday and Aunt Flo still hasn't shown up. I took a PG test yesterday and it was negative. Today I am experiencing an unusual amount of white, watery discharge. Also, last time my husband and I had sex (Sunday) he said, my discharge was thicker and creamier than normal. From what I've read, I think I might have an infection BUT I can't help to HOPE I might be PG.
View 1 RepliesEar Disorders :: E Tubes Have Drained Out?
I have been suffering from ETD since July. Been on several types of sprays, antibiotics etc. to clear this clogged, crackling and sometimes dull earache not to mention my biggest nightmare of ears ringing 24/7. When I wake up it feels like the ringings gone until I get out of bed then it's starts all over again non-stop. Anyway, I woke up this morning with my mouth covered with mucus. I don't have a cold, even if I did it wouldn't be that bad. Could it be that my E tubes have drained out?

View 3 RepliesHemorrhoid Vs. Rectal Prolapse - Grape Size Round Something Popped Out
After a bowel movement few days ago, I now have a large (large grape size), round, firm protrusion. I have always had a tiny "tag"/hemorrhoid since childbirth, which never really bothered much. But this new thing that has popped up (out, lol) is awful. It hurts to sit, touch, especially to stand up or sneeze (since such movements need to squeeze) and its difficult to bend down etc. However it does not hurt to go to the bathroom, does not itch or anything. It's just in the way and highly sensitive. The doctor's office (via email) thinks it's probably Hemorrhoid. It's just that the symptoms seem to match up more to prolapse which scares me. And will it just get better on its own, with proper diet and rest?
View 2 RepliesBartholin's Cyst :: Drained Two Days Ago - Tender
I just had my bartholin's cyst drained two days ago. I know it's healing there is no pain and the swelling has gotten smaller. But! Sometimes it hurts because it's kinda dry and tender and my skin is moving like it might be trying to go back to it original form. Is it normal that it hurts a lot when healing? I'm scared it might be because it's getting worst and not actually healing. Please help!
View 4 RepliesHemochromatosis :: Cut Out Alcohol Completely?
I'm 25 and was told I have hemochromatosis about a year ago. I drank pretty heavily in college and have on weekends since. I eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. I noticed a slight tint of orange on one of my fingers and fearing the worst. I have slight discomfort on my right side sometimes but never pain.
I question if I have done too much damage to myself and fearing the worse. I had questions as does this condition take years to effect or can it take a turn for the worst in the 20's?
I have been going with Green Tea and many other recommended options for a long time. Do others that have this cut out alcohol completely?
Do I Have Post-Traumatic Stress? Tired, Mentally And Emotionally Drained
I feel like I'm on the outside of everything. I don't feel much of anything, most of the time, and I always just want to be alone because I feel I have to pretend in front of other people. I've been through awful things during my life, the most recent being the loss of two beloved pets within 4 months of each other. Yes, I consider their passing to be awful. I've been through cancer, abuse, abandonment, etc. My earliest memory is witnessing my mother being beaten by my father.
I'm not a miserable, unhappy person, normally. Lately, I just haven't been able to feel or care about much. I'm tired. Mentally and emotionally drained. I have zero energy for other people, which saddens me deeply. Often, all I want is to be left alone to stare at the wall or bury myself under the covers.
Maybe it's depression, but the reason I suspect some kind of PTSD is because my brain feels as though there's a block that prevents me from processing any new experiences. I don't know how to explain it...it's like wanting to run from the room, covering my ears with my hands to keep from hearing any bad news or having to deal with anything unpleasant.

View 3 RepliesMultiple Sclerosis :: Sense Of Smell Completely Gone
My sense of smell is now completely gone and I seem to also have lost the ability to taste salt. (I looove salt) When my sense of smell started to fade, I did notice it changed my ability to taste, but it was still there.
As odd as it sounds, I've also been dealing with some weird congestion, but since it started well after the sense of smell problems, I don't think it's to blame. I've tried decongestants, and while they clear up my sinuses, they don't seem to touch the low grade headache and nausea that comes and goes as randomly as the congestion. I'm not producing anything that would make me suspect any type of infection.
As frustrated as I've been with the neurologist here, I called today and have an appointment for January.
Let's see
-enlarged red nucleus
-irritability in the temporal lobe, possibility of piliform blah blah blah
-auditory hallucinations (temporal lobe)
-and guess where the sense of smell is controlled? You guessed it, temporal lobe.
And I'm expected to believe that these are all incidental findings??? If I'm crazy then I have the uncanny ability to produce symptoms from the same area of my brain. And for the record, I didn't know smell was controlled by the temporal lobe until I looked it up.
Anxiety :: Bladder Not Emptying Completely / Frequent Restroom Trips
I have been dealing with anxiety my whole life and have had off and issues with emptying my bladder. I will use the restroom and will either feel like i need to go again right after or will experience burning then I know that it didn't completely empty, will go back and be able to go a little more then the burning will fade. I have had this for a long time and wonder if I could have possibly been born with a minor abnormality causing it or the chronic anxiety not letting the muscles relax enough to empty my bladder. I am constantly told I have a bladder infection by doctors and think this might be the reason. I do experience a tiny burn at the end of the stream but no other bladder infection symptoms. Unless they are diagnosing it solely because of hematuria, which i do have a minor kidney issue that causes microscopic blood in my urine. Does anyone else with anxiety suffer from this? Could it just be the muscles too tense to let the bladder empty?
View 2 RepliesHemorrhoids :: Boil On Butthole?
I think i have a boil on my butthole and i don't know how to solve this. I'm not sure what it actually is. It hurts when i sit down and it looks like a white bump when i checked it out myself. It hurts to touch too and the butthole stays enlarged after i clean myself after going to the bathroom. It doesn't stay enlarged all day though only for like 5 minutes after i use the bathroom and clean up. What do i do? This was probably my fault because i probably had an ingrown hair and didn't shave right. I'm scared and want it to be gone. It has been here for one week but it looks worse than it did last week.
View 1 RepliesAcne :: Boil On Scrotum
I'm 16 and I have some kind of boil on my scrotum that's been bothering me for about a year. Sometimes it's hard, sometimes, it's soft and I would like to know what it exactly is. I also get lots of boils in my inner thigh region as well. I usually just rub Bengay on them for temporary relief. They're very common and I'm kind of embarrassed to tell my doctor because I have one testicle. I feel like him looking at it while I have one testicle will trigger a lot questions.
My sister also experiences these boils in her inner thigh and has a massive boil or cyst it may be in her armpit. It's kind of the boil/cyst I have on my scrotum. Her doctor one day attempted to draw out some of the fluid for testing but since the boil was to hard, he didn't get deep enough to draw any fluid. This was a really painful process for my sister and it still is. My brother had run ins in the past with boils when he was younger showing up on his buttocks. So to conclude everything, I need answers, quick.
