Spleen :: Enlarged Spleen - 15cm Normal CBC
i had my annual physical exam month ago. CBC was normal, but on ultrasound my spleen appeared enlarged, approx. 15cm. Month later my spleen was still enlarged, 14cm. I did a CBC + LDH blood test again. Again everything appeared normal on CBC and LDH was 200 (it said that under 330 it was OK). Doc told me not to worry but to have a new ultrasound and CBC (+LDH) in 6 months. I really do not feel like waiting that long. Sometimes during the day I feel extremely tired and sleepy. Any suggestions what to do next other than waiting for 6 months.
View 2 RepliesSpleen Hemangiomas, How To Reduce The Size Of My Spleen?
Why is there NO RESEARCH being done on Spleen Hemangiomas? Are doctors making more money by just removing them and then dealing with the poor health thereafter? I want to know how to reduce the size of my spleen that is full of large hemangiomas. Anyone know anything about this. I also have them in my liver.
View 2 RepliesBowel Disorders :: Nauseous After Eating And Vomiting After Eating Supper
I am what my doctor describes as a perfectly healthy 32 year female. I have a hiatal hernia but that may be beside the point. I had been on Paxil 20 up until September. At the end of October, I began feeling nauseous after eating and vomiting after eating supper. I do not feel better after vomiting and find it almost impossible the eat for 24 hours following. I feel incredibly exhausted after 3pm, and when I feel ill it's at or around 5pm. My blood tests are perfect, not pregnant, and up to this point generally healthy. I am looking for ideas, other experiences, and general info to find out and 'fix' what is all of a sudden wrong with me!

View 4 RepliesEating Disorders :: Getting Panic Attacks Due To Eating
I am a 21 year old female, I am 5'3 and weigh around 103-104lb (7 stone 5-6lb).
I used to be just under 10 stone a few years ago and crash dieted to lose the weight. I wanted to be 9 stone, then 8 and a half, then 8, then I was happy bouncing between 7.10-7.12 for a few months. But recently it has dropped, I was fine at 7 and a half, but as it's gone down I've wanted it to stay down. I weigh myself everyday before eating/drinking. If my weight is at 7.5 I'm not too bad, but jf it js at 7.6 I panic that I'm getting fat and will keep gaining. I try not to eat until my evening meal, which I always make sure I have, though sometimes end up snacking before if I start to feel too hungry. I have 2 cups of tea a day with 2 sugars in each to try and suppress my hunger. I also worry that when I start eating, I won't stop. Sometimes I will have a big takeaway, medium pizza all to myself, continue eating it even if it hurts, and then half an hour after, continue eating. I never make myself sick/take laxatives and wouldn't, but I sometimes try not to eat all day in case I lose control and keep eating and eating. I have anxiety/depression/ocd issues anyway and I'm worried I may have some sort of eating disorder too.
Orthopedics :: Ligament Tightening Surgery
I posted this in foot and ankle but am getting no responses.
I have contacted my surgeon and he is out of town and I am stressed.
So trying this here.
1.5 weeks ago I had ligament tightening surgery. I am still in a sling.
The sling seems to be very loose already as it moves around and I can fit my entire hand down the sling.
I keep getting sharp pains like little lightning bolts. At first it was from where my incision is but today I also feel it in another part of my foot where I think they did work but not totally sure.
I just want to know if these sharp pains are normal or if I should be going to the hospital.
I am supposed to get my cast in one week by now concerned as it will not be as flexible as the sling.

Acid Reflux :: Tightening / Sore Throat
Several nights ago I woke up from sleeping and felt my throat closing, like tightening up and I couldn't get a lot of air through. Since I had eaten a lot right before I slept (rare for me), I thought this was acid reflux. I took a Zantac, and this seemed to help a little. Since then (for the last 3 days) I have woken up every morning with a sore throat and from time to time the throat tightening is still happening. No other symptoms, and I don't smoke, rarely drink, and am otherwise healthy 31 y/o female. Could this all be from the one case of acid reflux 3 nights ago? How long will the symptoms continue for?

View 1 RepliesRobotic Assisted Hysterectomy Hurting After 45 Days
I had a month ago, a robotic assisted partial hysto, I have only my left ovary. I chose to keep in, being 39, I was not ready for hormone replacement therapy. So, I feel pain so bad, and a warm burning sensation in my pelvic area. I was feeling better a week ago, Now, back to the pain before, I had Endometriosis removed during my hysterectomy, and two loose staples (internal) from my surgery in 12-14-15 (appendicitis/Fallopian right tube removal). I was wondering is there anyone else having pain? I was told Oh you'll feel so good in a month after the surgery.....

Hip Replacement :: Spasms At Night Wakes Me Up
Anyone had them or getting them? I get up to three a night, very intense and obviously wake me up. Just wondering how many weeks do they last, didn't have them in hospital.
Also got groin pain, think it may of come from the hip abduction exercise, the one where you take your leg out to the side. Have had pain every time I have tried that one. I have not done it today. Will that pain eventually go too.
