| I've had pain in my left leg for about 2 months now. It feels tightening and sometimes a needle-like, radiating pain spreding from my ankle all the way up to my thigh. I've injured my ankle 4 yrs ago, but with no fracture, just sprain. However, I still feel the pain and it seems the pain starts in the ankle, then spreads to the whole leg. I feel pain in any position, but a little relieved while resting it on a pillow. Is there a chace this could be a deep vein trombosis? Thank you! Read answer |

| For a few days every month over the last 6 months, I have had a disgusting taste in my mouth and a sick stomach. Although I feel nauseous I am never actually sick,I just feel lousy. I see a dental hygenist regularly so I no there is nothing wrong with my mouth and I have also had a routine gyneological check up recently which showed I was pretty healthy. I am now guessing that maybe it is either a food allergy or a problem with my stomach. I have shrugged it off in the past as it usually passes after a couple of days but as it is now becoming a regular occurrence I thought I would seek some advice. Read answer |

| I've heard that a healthy person should sleep 6-8 hrs a day. And sleeping too much (over 8hr)is actually worse than sleeping too little(less than 6 hr). I tend to sleep too much. I sleep 10 hrs a day. At the moment I can sleep so much and get everything done when I am awake (study, work, etc). My problem is that no matter how much I sleep, how early I go to bed, I just cannot get up before 9am. I tried to go to bed at 8pm, 9pm. I even tried to stay up all night. It seems like I just have to be in sleep from 5am till 9am. I cannot be awake those hours. My semester starts soon and I have an early morning class and I really don't know what to do. Read answer |

Some years ago I fractured my talus playing rugby. After four operations to drill into the talus to promote regrowth and graft bone from the knee the situation has got a great deal worse. I have a lot of initial discomfort after sitting or lying down for a long period of time which then usually disappears after walking.
My question is, will continued exercise such as jogging purely injure the talus more or should I attempt to slowly increase strength in the joint (the right calf muscle is atrophied) or will this simply make things worse. Is the discomfort I feel arthritis? Read answer |

| I have recently noticed swellings in my groin area (maybe lymph glands?). They are moveable, tender when touched, no reddening of the skin, I think they are slowly getting a little bigger, the right side is slightly bigger than the left. I have had these swellings for maybe 1-2 weeks. No other glands seem to be affected. The only other thing wrong with me at the moment is that I have a very bad cold and have been coughing up slightly yellow mucus, and my nose has been running. I don't seem to have a fever, or chest pain (other than the slight feeling of congestion). What do you think these swellings might be? I would prefer to treat this myself. I read on the Internet that this situation can occur if an infection is present in the body. Read answer |

From: Came Back to Moscow with Poison Ivy...
|
|
|
Hey Doc,
I just got back from New York. The day before, I was helping out my parents, clean the yard, not knowing they had "POSON IVY" (a plant, that gives you an allergic rash), and managed to get some on my legs.
Not knowing it, only waking up the next morning, thought nothing of it, until I flew into Moscow, and now can't stop scratching and itching the rashes.
I have "anti itch cream, cortisone 1%", which does very little. Back in the states we have Calomine Lotion, which helps dry the skin, and also prevent you from itching.
Poison Ivy doesn't exist here, and can't seem to find anything to help me with the itching and rash.
What can I do and use? What medicine, or over the counter drug can I use?
If you are unaware of such a plant, it is similar to what russia has a plant called "kropiva" except it's worse, it doesn't go away so easily...
Will check back for advice, but just in case:

| I have had a problem with my neck since March. Whilst back in England I saw an Osteopath for 6 weeks. He told me that I had had a muscle spasm. I didn't respond well after the first 3 weeks,in fact I got considerably worse. He then changed my treatment and I began to feel better. However I have been back in Russia for 6 weeks and the problems have started all over again. My job requires me to sit on a computer although I do have regular breaks and I do do some excercises to try and relax the muscles. Can you recomend any creams that might help or advise what type of treatment would benefit me. I have spent more than $3000 in back treatment over the last year to no avail,so money is a bit tight at the moment. Thanks. Read answer |

| Hi Doc, I fear this is going to be one of those daft ones, but here goes! Is there a logical explanation for getting night time cramp in the same place from time to time? i.e. the cramp wakes me up and a knotted pain eminates from my the right side of my right calf! The other cramp I get is rare but happens when I'm awake and at home early morning or late evenings; I get really stiff erections in my right toe, it simply goes vertically rigid. I can't relax it, I have to put it under cold water or stand on a cold floor. I used to think it was from smoking too much, but I jacked that in 8 months ago, I don't drink and I eat healthy. As I said probably one of those unanswerables, but this is not a wind up. Read answer |

| Recently, following an MRI due to complaints of terrible headaches, sleeplessness, facial twitching (left side only) and facial pain (right side only), ear ringing, and hand tremors, I was told that I have a 1.5 cm pineal cyst pressing on the quadrigeminal plate of my brain. The surgeon I was sent to said he didn't feel the cyst was big enough to warrant surgery or the risk of draining. (Also, there was no contrast on the MRI, which is good.) The doctor prescribed Inderal La (80mg). I also take advil daily. The problem is that nothing seems to help. The headache is now causing terrible neck pain. I also feel slight tingling in my hand. Is there anything you can recommend to help? The Inderal has only helped my tremors, but nothing else. Any information you may offer is greatly appreciated. If the headaches would ease up, I think I might find even a few hours sleep without waking up. Thank you, TJ Read answer |

| My problem started 3 years ago now. At the time I was in a relationship with a girl that I worked with. We'd been together about 6 weeks or so when my partner started to complain about feeling itchy and soar and this seemed to be even worse after sex. I also notice that at this time I was developing a rash which to me looks like small warts or spots under the skin on my penis. My partner went for some test at the hospital when her symptoms became worse. Shortly after we separated. I decided to go to the doctors to seek advise about my problem where I was told that there was nothing to worry about as the rash was actually hair follicles, but I wasn't convinced so I went to my local GUM clinic where I was tested for all the usual STD's and examined. The doctor at the clinic also told me not to worry as it was only hair follicles and all my tests came back negative. I stayed single for quit a long time after that for fear of going through the same problems as I had with my last partner. I recently plucked up the courage to start dating again with a girl I liked at college and everything seemed to be fine for a while. However, I notice that every time we had oral sex together the next day I would have lumps appearing on my lips and in my mouth and these sometimes were quit soar and scabby. These lumps would sometimes appear then disappear after a few hours or sometimes would stay for anything from between a few days to a week; my girlfriend was also getting these lumps/soars on her lips as well. At first I thought that this was probably just cold soars but I became more worried when I realised that they were only appearing when we had oral sex together and that we were getting them in our mouths and on the tongue as well, I also notice the last time we had oral sex together that my girlfriend had some spots appearing inside her similar to the ones on my penis. My partner also started to experience other symptoms but would not tell me what the problem was, she finish our relationship about 7 weeks ago now. I know that she went to the clinic and was given some antibiotics, but she won't speak to me and tell me what the doctor said to her. I went to the clinic and yet again I showed the doctor the rash on my penis and told him that it had been spreading to my lips and mouth. I was told that there was nothing wrong with me and that the rash was just hair follicles, I'm still not convinced. The skin on my penis has been a bit soar recently and sometimes itchy too. I have been back to the clinic for a throat swab and the results came back negative. The thing is that my penis does look normal when it isn't erect, when it is erect the rash really stands out and it just doesn't feel or look right. I feel really desperate at the moment because I'm getting no help and I know there is a problem but I keep getting told there's nothing wrong with me. I have to endure dirty looks every time I see my ex- girlfriend and her friends at college. Is it possible that this could be a rash, because it is soar and it has been spreading to my mouth and lips? I don't want to sound naive but I just don't feel right and I need some advice I don't want to have to go through this again for a third time with somone else. Read answer |

| Maybe you can help me, I'm bisexual and have had sex with another guy, we had protected sex but something happened during our experience, he wanted me to bite really hard on his nipples, which I think now that his nipples must have bleed, he was a black guy and I never noticed if he bleed or not.My first symptoms in the next couple of weeks where upset stomach and some vomitting, I would vomit after eating something. I'm married and think I transmitted this desease to my wife and the worst part of it all she was pregnant when I must have transmitted this to her. I have the odd red pimples on my legs and for a while quite a few behind my legs, in my mouth I have lumps in the top of my mouth that sometimes swell a little but most of the time they are just little lumps and in the back of my mouth I have little warts. My wife has a lot of pimples on her cheeks and gets the odd upset stomach, my son who is now 7 months old has the odd pimple on his body and a few on his cheeks. I've we nt for Hep B, C and HIV testing twice so far and all is negative. I have a thyroide problem and whenever I got infected the thyroide went out of whack it went into hyper. The first tests where done around two months after infection and the second tests where done around 5 months after infection, I will be going for another test any day now. If it's not HIV do you have a clue what this can be. Any response would help. Thank You mp Read answer |

| Approximately 5 years ago, I was diagnosed with cervical cancer and only underwent a cone biopsy. After the surgery, my docto informed me that they had gotten it all. About 1 year later, I had the IUD inserted on my uterus. Now I have had my follow-ups for the last 4 1/2 years and my pap smears have always came back normal. About 8 months, I started getting a lot of yeast infections almost monthly and I also had about 4 bacterial infections. In February, I had a really bad UTI which followed a very bad yeast infection. Now since this, my period has been very irregular coming every 3 weeks, sometimes 2 1/2, and so forth. I had my annual pap smear on May 7th and my dr. was just going to try and watch me for the next few months on the irregular menstrual cycle. I also told her that for a little while now, I have had some spotting and bleeding sometimes after intercourse, and she didn't say anything about that. I got a call yesterday from my Dr's office telling me that my pap smear cam e back showing A typical cells and I am to do a repeat pap in 3 months. Now, is there a chance that the cancer is back? What are the chances of getting cervical cancer again? SHould I be looking out for any other signs or symptons? Read answer |

She was diagnosed in Russia and treated it with a host of medicines bought here, mainly Ruling, Nistatin, Viferon-3, and Makmiror. However, she has not told her husband yet that he is the culprit and it seems I have to do this.

| Dear docror(s), My question is not related to his field of expertiece though. It is again connected to the plague of the 20th century (or the 21st one as we will see): HIV/AIDS. Here we go..... I had had a swab sample taken from my urethra for general check-up purposes. Prior to that I had no complaints or clinical findings of any active STDs. This was a sort of real trauma to my urethra (being hurt too much at the time when the sample was taken; ouch!). On my fourth day after the swab I got engaged in insertive fellatio from a sex worker. And I felt some uncomfortableness at the opening of my urethra the next morning. My question is: Should I be concerned about contracting HIV? Is any testing indicated for a situation like mine after the window period? Would the irritation in the urethra end up in 4 days and pose no additional risk of transmission after a swab was taken? Can you -based on the clinical data(please see "P.S.")- state that it is safe for me to believe that I had only negligible risk and I can continue to practice sex with no worries of infecting anybody? This is important for me to arrive at an ease of mind and restart a normal life. P.S. I know that most experts do not recommend testing for HIV after insertive fellatio as there are no documented cases of infection due to insertive fellatio and the risk is only theoretical. Thanks.

| I have been receiving back rehabilitation at a Russian Orthopaedic hospital for 20 days. My lower back, my main problem area, inflammed quite badly during the last 5 days of treatment so the doctor prescribed Diclofenac which I am still taking. Two days after my treatment finished I started having problems with my neck. It feels really strained and the left side definitely looks different to the right side. I am pretty sure I must have strained it during the re-hab whilst using a resistence back strengthening chair. My question is, is it necessary to see a doctor or is it likely it will get better in its own time as I don't know how long these things take to heal? It has been 9 days now and the Diclofenac which is helping with my lower back inflammation is obviously not doing anything to help my neck. Also if I don't need to see a doctor is there anything I could try myself to make it a bit more comfortable until it heals. (I don't particularly want to go back to the hospital as the l anguage is a huge problem and I have to keep paying translators to come with me.) Thank you. Read answer |

| At the end of october, a friend of mine who has genital warts was visiting me. After a shower, he took his boxer shorts off and left them on the floor. Approximately 2 hrs later, in the middle of the night, I accidentally put them on me. Recently, I've been diagnosed with the same STD. I understand the various treatments and that it will never go away. I am curious though as to if the outbreaks will be constant for the rest of my life, or is it similar to a cold sore in that you only get them when you have a weak immune system. Also, the current oubreak is on my penis. Is it a regular occurrance to have the warts show up in my anus or on my testicles? thank you. Read answer |

It doesn't hurt that much in my vagina, but it hurts my stomach more and I don't know why. And when I do have sex I don't have orgasms, I would like to know why for that as well, thank you.

| I have this bump on my back the has started to get large in the last few months. It also has become more sensitve not painful that is but tender. Here is the history to do with this. About three years ago I thought I had what is commoningly called a blackhead where I come from on or near the center of my back. I tryed to dislodge it by squeezing it which did get it out, but once that was done I realized that it wasn't a blackhead. It was what would be called mole or a small birthmark. It was about in size a 10th of an inch depth a slightly less in width. It didn't seem to have any effect to the area at the time except a very small lump like a pimple but as I have already stated it has now gotten larger something in the area of a marble in size. Any help or advice here will be gladly appreciated! Read answer |

My throat aches, my voice is very harsh, I have constant headahes and earaches (sometimes not being able to hear very well, and the rash is still there plus I am so tired even though I am getting plenty of rest...This has been going on for ten days now and I feel miserable.

I have not decided yet on whether I want to have a baby in the next 1-2 years, so I'm not really sure if it should treat it just live with it. I have read an Internet medical site that cervical erosion sometimes does not even need to be treated. Is it true? Or if it does need to be treated, how long can a person wait? And what is better: cryosurgery or lazer? For the record: I am 26 years old and the disease, according to my doctor, is not at advanced stage. Read answer |

| Hi! My wife was on 11th week of pregnancy when she had done her CMV test during her hospitalization beacause of pneumonia. Now we got the results showing that IgM is negative and IgG=100. I understand that it means that somewhere in her past she got this virus and her organism had developed those anti bodies. However from a material I read I know that fourfold raise in IgG antibodies may indicate current illness. However we do not know what IgG level she had before her pregnancy. I have two questions: 1. Is it possible that she got this virus in the begining of her pregnancy and then in 11th week we so IgG=100 and IgM negative? 2. What are the normal levels of IgG antibodies in people who developed them during primal illness? Thanks. Read answer |

| My 3 month baby has an extremely irregular pattern of bowel movement. He passes stool only about once or twice a week. The stool is normally soft. Although the last time which was on Wednesday it was a bit hard. He has a umbilical hernia which I have been told not to worry too much about. I have read conflicting reasons for this- some say it's common in breast-fed babies others say not. I am breastfeeding 100%. I have tried stomach massages, pushing his legs up his stomach, drinking a glass of keffir every night and have even tried giving him warm-preboiled water to drink. He has had some bouts of colic but I gave him Infacol and now he is passing smelly wind from the rear very often. Occasionally he seems to be discomfort but this not very often. Any suggestions?

She is again experiencing same symptoms as before (weakness, loss of appetite, painful joints..etc) and we are awaiting test results to see if she again has CMV. I was doing research on the net about CMV...little is know to me about this infection. I was looking at the CDC(center for disease control) site and they classify this virus in the herpesvirus group to include simplex 1&2. The site said that CMV can be contagious. But never really explained the "what" is contagious and the symptoms resulting. Is one to expect contraction of flu like symptoms a person would have w/ mono or more like warts and such resulting from genital herpes...it is the same virus group right?...signed, no symptoms but confused and worried!

On the couple of occasions I've used Viagra, the results have been very satisfying, but I don't want to develop a dependancy. What can you suggest might help me long term ?? Read answer |

| My boyfriend has been particularily uninterested in sex for the past few months. We are living together for the first time this year and have been together for 6 years. We started having sex about 4 years ago. He has always been especially excited about sex, but lately has quite frustrated. He is able to get an erection and keep it, but he hasn't initiated sex in months. He doesn't seem to be particularily stressed about anything and is not on any medication, but I have to admit, his diet is less that admirable-but nothing different from the way it always has been. Please clue me in on why my 20 year old boyfriend is so uninterested in something that most guys his age can't get enough of. Thanks, Roni Read answer |

| I sent you a question on January the 9th about insomnia. You said it was "unlikely to have a medical cause". If "unlikely" that does leave some room for some possibility. Do you have any ideas? Even remote possibilities, are there for example some stimulants beyond the obvious, caffeine and nicotine, that I might unwittingly be consuming? A related question is to do with the damage that sleep deprivation does to tissue, particularly beneath the eyes. Why does it do that? And what are the chances of the regeneration of this tissue for a fit 30 year old? Are there other things apart from a good nights sleep that I can do to aid regeneration, creams? diet? etc. Thanks.

| On Friday evening, I just started coughing. A dry, non productive cough and I have had difficulty breathing - feeling like I could not get enough air. I had a fever (up to 101 a few times) over the weekend but few other symptoms other than malaise. The fever is gone, and the cough is slightly better, but still a dry one, and I still get this sensation after the slightest exertion that I am completely winded. It seems to be irritated by the cold. Prior to this, I was in decent shape exercising a few times a week. I am 35, do not smoke and lead an active lifestyle. What can cause such a cough / breathing problem and is there anything to be done about it. Read answer |

| >This sounds like 'formication' (polyneuropathy) but would be highly >unusual if starting in childhood and staying in only the fingers and toes. None of us have encountered this before in this type of presentation. We assume you have seen a doctor before for this - were there any changes in sensation found on physical examination? I haven't seen a doctor about this, probably because it seems like such a bizarre thing. As for any other symptoms, I do also have a slight itch similar to that in my index fingers and toes, also near the bottom of my inner lip, and as for the itch, it's only in an exact spot... near the tip of my fingers/toes, which never varies. Not sure if it is related, but I have also experienced some odd muscle twitches, especially when lying flat... I have asked a doctor about that symptom, who more or less dismissed it, but didn't run any tests of any sort (not a great doctor in my opinion). I never heard of 'formication'(polyneuropathy) before... is there treatment, and how serious is it? Read answer |

| I need your help. I am a 26 year old male with Severe Ulcerative Colitis. I got a blood transfusion in January of 2002, and was also diagnosed with high liver counts. They are going to do a Biopsy on me next month to see what it exactly is that is causing the problem, but they are pretty sure it is no Serosis since they did an MRI on me in March of 2002 and my Bile ducts looked ok. My question is, with in the past 2 months, I have had severe itching all over my body, including my legs, arms and the top of my scalp. The doctors have yet to help me with any meds to stop this, and have yet to give me a cause. In the meantime, I am itching all over and it is driving me nuts. It is as bad as Chicken Pox (but I know it's not Chicken Pox)with no rash, but a few little red bumps all over, but they do not look like Chicken Pox. i am about to fill the tub with Alcohol and soak in it, it is so bad. do you have any ideas.

It happened today again with very low temprature (about 95F; 34.2C) and blood pressure about 140/95, pulse about 45-47. Generally he is pretty healthy person and doesn't have any serious medical problems. Could it be connected with the excess of the fluid in his inner ear or something else?

Sometimes in an hour she does 5-6 bowels. I am on a diet containing milk and cereals with whole wheat bread in breakfast and then I take a whole wheat tortilla cooked in raw butter and along with this i take some vegetable or pulses garnished with lots of butter. Is this diet okay or does this is causing wind in the baby. Secondly my elders have told me to avoid orange juice and apples if they are little sour. their apprehension is that baby will catch cold.

They itch and are uncomfortable at times. Other times, I forget they are even there. I have been researching the web and believe they may be Thrombosed Hemorrhoids, but I cannot find a photo. I noticed the bumps about a week ago and thought it may be a heat rash. After working out, I was extremely sweaty and did not take a shower right away.

| I am a female of 28 yrs. I was getting fat after the delivery of my second child (born in Jan. 2002) and my neck was also getting bulged slightly. Dr. found I am hypothyroidic (tested in August 2002). I am under eltroxin since then (100 micrograms). Once I started this medicine, my periods have stopped completely. My eyes started vibrating (recently) when I concentrate on books, not only that I am feeling like fainting (for a second only) occasionally. Dr. found I am normal and asked me to continue with eltroxin. I consulted an ophthalmologist for my eye problem and according to her my vision is perfectly all right. After one month of medication, the count of antibodies has come down to normal. Dr. suggested scanning of Pituitary Fosse and found it normal. I am still under eltroxin. I would like to know whether all these symptoms are side effects of taking the medicine eltroxin? Or do I have some other problems? I am planning to consult an endocrinologist soon. Read answer |

| My boyfriend has fairly serious acne, but recently it has gotten much worse. For the past few months he's been getting huge (up to almost a centimeter) pimples that can take weeks to go away and are horribly painful and disfiguring. He started getting them right after he was put on antibiotics for a 'positive manteux reaction' (TB test). He has had them before, and claims that he received some sort of blood transfusion to cure it. (He's from the former soviet union, so I usually don't trust anything sort of past medical experience of his.) What I want to know is: 1) could these terrible pimples be related to anti-TB antibiotics and 2) have you ever heard of blood tranfusions or any related thing being used to treat out-of-control acne?

To describe it more precisely in size, it looks as if someone hit me in the rear-end with a small baseball and it left a dent. What could this be? Read answer |

| I have recently, within the past 2 weeks, had a enlarged blood vessel on my penis. I am not sure if this is something I should be fairly concerned about or not. It is not painful, but it seems to get worse when I put on a condom. It becomes almost stiff with blood. Maybe I"m just using condoms that are too tight, but it is still fairly enlarged w/out one on. Any clues as to why this may be? Read answer |

| This is my fifth attempt to pose my question since May and I won't bother anyone if this one does not make it, so here goes. I have been having a terrible time with heart rregularities. Lone Afib episodes in 92 and last October, then a bout of SVT (supra-ventricular tachycardia) on May 17th. They had to use the paddles (cardioversion) on me the last two times in the hospital. Other than the tach, my ECG and echo-ECG were normal, with no evidence of structural or circulation problems. They prescribed INDERAL-LA 80mg once per day. I also take Xanax 0.5mg up to 3x per day for a severe Panic disorder which has plagued me for 20 years. My Questions...Is this INDERAL regimen going to be helpful or is it just another expensive pill? This stuff is $170 per 100 capsules here in the USA. Radio-ablation was suggested, but that is out because of my poverty stricken circumstances and my reluctance to risk becoming dependent on a pacemaker, as sometimes happens. Is there anything else you can suggest that be helpful? I'm literally at the end of my rope with the doctors being uncooperative and unwilling to answer questions. This has seriously affected my quality of life and has left me weak, nervous and not sure if I can enjoy my former favorite activities. Any ideas or suggestions would be most welcome. BTW, I'm male, 46 and do not use alcohol, tobacco or drugs. THANKS! Read answer |

| This is a repeat question. I sent it to you a couple of days ago, but you never responded, so I believe the question got lost and never got to you. My 14-year old sister has curvature of the spine, problems with salt metabolism (since birth), flat foot and one of her legs is 1.4 cm shorter than the other (according to the doctor she saw, this is because of her flatfoot, which caused curvature of the spine and resulted in different length of her legs). The doctor told her that she should exercise more to build muscle and told her she should wear special soles in her footwear to cure the flat foot, but it doesn't seem sufficient to me. Do you think this treatment is sufficient or should we do other things like massage? I have heard curvature of the spine can be cured by surgery, but we don't want her to go under the knife and would prefer conservative treatment. We are mainly concerned about the curvature of the spine and different length of the legs, as it looks like the problem will aggravate as she grows up. Can something be done in our situation in addition to exercising and wearing soles? Thanks in advance and I'm looking forward to your reply. Read answer |

| My regular and longterm girlfriend came back last week from a holiday with a girlfriend in Egypt. She was particularly ardent and attentive with me despite having very badly blistered lips (from the sun) and more general sunburn. I shaved immediately before going to bed to make life more comfortable for her. Within two days I have become covered with what looks like severe acne in all the places I shaved, and the lymph nodes in my neck are sore. As part of our lovemaking she gave me oral sex and I now find one small spot on my penis (nothing like as big as those on my face) but with the same darker centre. Being an internet junkie I checked out the symptoms on a self diagnosis site and got the answer 'herpes' back. I shall be going back to London in a week and will have a thorough check up, but in the meantime should I be concerned about her fidelity? Read answer |

| Concerning my foot question on April 10, I have since gone to my polyclinic, had x-rays done, and yes, it is a heel spur that they say is symtomatic of gout. I also tested somewhat high uric acid and cholesterol levels. I normally do a lot of walking and as you can imagine, walking Moscow streets and metros is pretty stressful on the feet / heels, so it's possible to be stress-related too. As I'm fifty this year, I imagine age has something to do with it too. The clinic put me on a "compress" nightly, and I am doing therapy sessions with a Swiss instrument that resembles machine-gun hammers beating my heel. They also put me on a low uric acid diet. Initially, it seems to be helping although wouldn't mind knowing what you think? .and thanks.. Read answer |

Not this time. I have tried pepper plasters, Ben-Gay, ibuprofin, and massage. All have had only temporary benefits, and while the sharpness of pain has diminished the discomfort has spread to a dull ache in the shoulder and now lower neck and upper arm.

| I'm having the sharp pain in my shoulder, it has restricted my ability to move my arm, I can swing it around in a clockwise motion seemingly unrestricted but counterclockwise it doesn't have the same free straight movement. This is my right side the left arm I can reach behind my back to maybe more then up above the middle of my back but the right arm I can only go to the waist any higher and the sensation is to strong it is almost to the point of complete immobilization. It feels like at times, like a shooting nerve from the shoulder blade to the elbow. The pain will run down the length of arm. The only thing that I can think of that may feel similar is what it feels like to be hit in the shin or as some call it the funning bone. Except it is much more extreme. Read answer |

| Dear Madam, Sir, I might be moving to Moscow with my family. We have 4 kids, daughter 12, son 9 and 2 girls both 7 years old. The question is what can I expect from medical services in Moscow. Is there any reason to question the availability of good and instant treatment. Are there reasons to fly out of Moscow for treatmnent abroad. In general What are the concerns for dedicated mother with 4 children. Furthermore if you by chance know an expat family with children living in Moscow I would like to contact them. Although this is not a medical question, I would appreciate your reply. Thanks in advance, JLo Read answer |

| Dear Doctor, For almost 3 years now I have had a very signifigant problem, but the doctors I go to cannot diagnose anything. My symptoms are as follows: Nausea all the time, dizziness, numbness in certain parts of my face, weakness of limbs, I have what look like bug bites(they itch) all over my body. I have had numerous gastro tests done, but nothing can be found. I just had a healthy baby boy, so apparently it did not affect him. Do you have any suggestions on what this may be. I have been on medications that never work and my quality of life is very low. I am only 22 years old, I want my life back. Thanks for your input! Read answer |

| Up to 30 years of age i have seen that i can eat anything on earth but sea insects, namely shrimps, lobster, crab,... If i even get some of these in my mouth, a burning and itching sensation first covers my lips, then goes deep inside my ears and back to my throat almost paralysing it. On the other hand I am completely fine with molluscs for example. I think it is some sort an allergy against some pigments or enzymes present in these insects. 1)Is there this type of allergy in literature? 2)Is there any testing methodology which will discover such sort of allergies? 3)If this ends up to be an allergy, is there going to be any treatment for it, to enable me back to shrimp/grasshopper eating?? tks.

| Hi to all, I guess you will never fully understand how helpful you have been to the members of this site. Recently I had protected vaginal sex with a woman with unknown STD status. Shortly afterwards I noticed a lesion similar to a pimple at the root of my penis where the condom was not covering. I believe that it was a pimle or ingrown hair which blew out during sex , and came into contact with some vaginal fluids. There was no apparent blood but the skin was a bit damaged. Do I have to get tested for any STD's like Hepatitis, HIV or others under such conditions described, even if the sex itself was theoretically "safer sex"? Thanks. Read answer |

| We are looking for some advise to cure the boy in Russian clinic. Thanks We have been searching the Titanium Rib Project web site and we're e-mailing you to ask for your help or advice. Our son (and grandson) Harris Clark is 4 years old (date of birth 15th September, 1997) and he was diagnosed with Kyphosis Congenital Scoliosis since the age of 11 months, when he was placed in the care of a wonderful surgeon in Edinburgh, Scotland. His condition was first noticed in x-rays following a dose of pneumonia at approx. 6 months - the x-rays showed the initial curvature of his spine and further investigations were carried out after this. To date he has had 3 bone grafts, 2 by donor and the last one using sections of his own ribs (March 2001), to strengthen his spine. Harris has reduced lung capacity due to the deviation of his spine and he has suffered further bouts of pneumonia and repeated chest infections. His surgeon feels that due to his poor lung capacity, Harris might not withstand further surgeries and he is very reluctant to operate again. Having seen the BBC Television programme "Tomorrow's World" on the Titanium Rib Project, we asked the advice of the surgeon, but he felt that this procedure was inappropriate for Harris. We are devastated to find out that his prognosis is as poor as his surgeon has told us, and we want to investigate any other possible avenues for Harris. Can you suggest who we could contact, what we can do etc. to find out about any other related projects or investigations which might improve the chances for his future? Read answer |

| Dear doctor, Do you think that your clinic could post its price list on your Web site. It would be quite useful to be able to quickly compare your services and prices to those of your main competitors (EMC, AMC, IMC). Also, if you take ona patient, what sort of liability do you assume and what sort of malpractice insurance coverage does your clinic have? Is the clinic in Moscow a completely stand-alone entity, or the subsidiary of a parent based in a developed country?

| I need a second opinion. Over the past half a year I've had three episodes of furunculs (rather large and painful boils) in different areas of the body. These episodes were either preceeded by or followed by flu-like symptoms. I've been seeing a Russian doctor over most of this period. He's taken a culture twice. The first time they found nothing. The second time they found that the boils were caused by staph bacteria, but the doctor said that it wasn't a very serious form. During two out of my three outbreaks, when I was in Moscow, I was treated with antibiotic injections. This took care of the boils, although the boils left scars. My Russian doctor says that the problem is in that my immune system is weak. He is now planning to put me through a course of injections with an immunity stimulator called POLYOXYDONIY. This is a Russian drug. I agree that my immune system seems to have stumbled. I've been getting sick A LOT more over the past two years than ever before, and recovery time has increased noticeably. I'm ruling out HIV since I've been tested negative twice and do not engage in HIV-related behaviors. I have two questions. What in general can you tell me about weakened immunity. And can you comment about the drug that my Russian doctor is planning to apply. FYI, I'm a 33 y/o male, without any history of chronic or otherwise pronounced medical problems, who's always enjoyed pretty good health. One more thing. I've asked my Russian doc to draw some blood and send it to the lab for general testing. Any comments? Thanks in advance. Read answer |

| My preemie son was born May of 2001. He was supposed to be born July of 2001. I just found out that he has a umbilical hernia that needs to be operated on this month (August). Of course I am very worried because he is now only close to 10 pounds in weight. I would like to know what the rate of survival for him from this opperation will be. Please be truthful with me, for the truth is what I really seek in this matter. Thank you so much for your time in this matter. Read answer |

| For the past month or so, I have had an irritating problem in the corner of my lips. The skin there gets very dry, and sometimes cracks open a bit. There is no pus or any other leakage, just dry skin. I have never had a cold sore before, so I don't know if these are similar symptoms. I also do not have herpes. I have been using lip balm several times a day where the skin gets dry(it is supposedly medicated - main ingredient octyl methoxycinnamate). After several days, it goes away. Then a few days later it reappears. I want to know what kind of over-the-counter cold sore medicines are available and if you can reccommend any other medications that might make this stop. Thank you. Read answer |

| Strange request for you. I'm having to leave Moscow unexpectedly and will depart in a few weeks. The agency which has made all my arrangements for visa and travel are trying to charge me a very large amount of money to leave on such a short notice. They say that it is in the contract (which is true). However, they have said if I get a doctor's note which states that I can no longer live in Moscow at this time, there will be no extra charges. This can be for any reason (environment, stress, trouble at home, etc) They just want it to be from a doctor and have a stamp. It's just a formality. Do you know who could help me with this? I would be willing to pay. I'm just a student and need to save where I can! Thanks so much! Read answer |

| I live on the polluted east side of Moscow between factories and the MKAD. Since moving here I've had bronchitis, strange headaches, sore throats, and just haven't felt like taking a deep breath for a while. None of this is normal for me. I can't do much about outdoor air, but I'd like to improve the air inside my apartment. (I open the windows often since I don't have air conditioning.) I'm considering getting a household air filter in Europe or the U.S. But most of the information about them mentions that they help prevent allergies and the spread of disease. They don't usually mention pollution, ozone, carbon monoxide,formaldehyde, coal dust. Would any kind of air filter do any good? Exactly which substances cause the worst of Moscow's air pollution? Do you recommend looking anywhere else for an answer? Thanks so much. Read answer |

Now she is having the same type of pain again but on the left side. Could this be something to be concerned with or should we give it time and see if it passes? It started about a week ago but it is getting worse. It hurts when she lays on her left side, very tender, and sometimes she saies it hurts if she moves around too much.

| About a year and a half ago I was diagnosed with a hypothyroid condition and was prescribed Synthroid to help correct this. I thought this was an easy answer to a lot of issues concerning weight and energy levels, but after 18 months on this treatment, these problems are worse, not better - I have gained additional weight without having made other changes to diet and lifestyle, and I am constantly tired. A check of blood levels about 6 months ago showed everything "normal" so it was decided not to change the Synthroid levels. Can this be right? Shouldn't I feel a bit less tired and more energetic after more than a year on this treatment? Read answer |

| Three weeks ago pimple-like things appeared around my pubic area. I went to see a doctor at one of the Western clinics here. He dignosed it as a recurrence of HPV, something that he had previously found and had me treat. He again prescribed Efudix (a.k.a. Efudex) 5% cream, to be applied twice a day for 30 days. It took me two weeks to find Efudix here, and I started to apply it about a week ago. Around that time I noticed several boils eveloping in the pubic area near the base of the penis. A few days later they ruptured and expelled pus. One appears to be healing. The other one is still producing pus and has turned into a rather large open sore about 4mm in diameter and 2-3 mm deep. Treatments with Efudix and anticeptic have not yet helped. The area is sensitive to the touch. I think that other boils may be developing. My questions are as follows. First, is this consistent with the HPV dignosis, or should I be concerned about having something else? Second, is Efudix appropriate for treating HPV? I've done some research on the Web. www.drugstore.com describes Efudex as "an antimetabolite used to treat actinic (solar) keratoses, which is a skin growth caused by exposure to sunlight. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor." Various sources on the Web, including www.dermnet.org.nz, state that HPV is treated with either Podophyllotoxin solution (Condyline) or Imiquimod cream (Aldara). Efudix is NEVER mentioned in treatment of HPV. Finally, I wish I could send you a few digital images of the affected area. Is there a way to do that confidentially? Read answer |

| Dear doctor, I was diagnosed last year with hypo-thyroidism. I was prescribed L-Tyroxin (100mcg) once-a-day. The medication seems to have taken very little effect except for giving me increased heart rate and difficulty in breathing at night. Is this a common side-effect of the drug? When I last visited my GP he explained to me that I had an added problem with my anti-bodies which were fighting my natural hormones. One of the sysmptoms of this has been a tremendous weight gain (from 50-92 kilos)and spots or acne. Could you please tell me if there is a suitable alternative to L-tyroxin which helps to reduce weight but which doesn't affect the heart. And, is it possible that my antibodies are also fighting the artificial hormones which are put into my body through the means of oral medication? Thanking you in advance for your reply Read answer |

| I'm a 33 y/o male who has always been in pretty good health. About two weeks ago I came down with what looks like the flu. Symptoms: heavy feeling in the head, pressure in eyes, sore throat, coughing, general fatigue, no high temperature. Other family members have gone through the same thing. However, two weeks later I'm still coughing pretty hard and feel pretty bad, while they've mostly recovered. I also suspect that this is effecting my heart negatively. Nothing major. Over-the-counter stuff (Contac, Dr. Mom, Robitussin) isn't helping much. It's helping treat the symptoms but not the underlying problem. Should I be looking into antibiotics/antihistamines? I'm a bit concerned that if I don't treat this thing more aggressively it could turn into pneumonia. The word is that this ORZ infection going around Moscow is viral. Do antibiotics or antihistamines help in treating the effects of this sort of thing? And if so, which ones should I ask for at my local apteka and in what doses should they be taken? Thanks in advance for the consultation. Read answer |

| I am trying to get pregnant but with no luck. My periods are quite irregular and I cannot calculate my cycle, therefore have no idea when/if I ovulate. I was on the pill for several years, but I don't think my periods were regular even before that. Also, when I do get my period, I only bleed on one side (I can see by the tampon) - is this normal? Is there any medication I can take to make my cycle regular or to help me conceive? I am 30 this year and don't think I have any medical problems. I would really appreciate any advice about this matter, I am scared to visit a doctor in person. Read answer |

| I am 26 years old 5' 10" and weigh around 245. I have recently put on an extreme amount of weight - about 35-50 pounds in about a year and a half. I am also a light smoker and under an extreme amount of stress. My issue is over the last few months I have developed an irregular heart beat. There is never any pain involved. It just seems to skip a beat. Almost feels like my heart is going to jump out of my throat. Then back to normal. I cant really place what makes it happen. I know that as soon as I get wound up as my heart rate starts to increase it seems to do it more. But there are occaisions that I will just be sitting down and it will do one of those numbers. What my question is I'm sure that this has to do with my rapid weight gain since i jumped from around 180-190 to 240-250. I have not seen a doctor as of yet because of lack of insurance. I am just looking for a little piece of mind. I have recently started to loose weight and would like to start to exercise but I have been afraid to get my heart rate up for fear that one of these times it will stop and not start again. But I generally dont feel good because of my lack of activity as I used to be very healthy. I have also considered the fact that it may just be doing this because I pay very close attention to my heart rate now and I may simply be playing tricks on myself. Read answer |

| My 4 y.o. daughter has contracted some kind of blood virus which I cannot fully understand from the Russian Doctor. We at first thought it was chicken pox from the spots across her body but have been assured it is not. The symtoms were initially vomitting and high fever. 12 hours later she broke out into spots across the body but mostly concentrated on the legs. The spots are simular to Chicken pox but lighter in colour & only some with a few small bumps in the centre. She also has a couple of small bruise like marks but I do not know if these are related or from playing. The Doctor prescribed an anti-biotic for the infection, rectal panadol for the fever & various vitamin pills. They will return to perform blood tests later today. As I understand there is some connection to the virus causeing the breakage of small blood vessels & the concern is that if she does not receive treatment this may continue with internal organs. From this description are you able to give any idea what the virus may be? Thank you Read answer |

| I have a question-- I am an attorney representing a Russian immigrant in an asylum case who has provided me with hospital records from a city clinical hospital in Moscow detailing her injuries and stay at said hospital. The opposing counsel has acquired a letter from the hospital denying that my client ever stayed at the hospital, or that the doctor that treated her ever worked there, and the the record she submitted was fraudulent. My client has responded to me that she is telling the truth, and it is simply the nature of Moscow hospitals to make such denials to "avoid any trouble" because it might indicate the hospital did something wrong. Lying that a patient ever stayed at a hospital seems somewhat implausible to me, but since I don't know for sure, I am trying to get to the bottom of this. My client stayed at the hospital in 1996-- not too long ago so that the records would have been lost. What do you think-- is it possible? Who can I contact to investigate?? Read answer |

Antacids did not help. I felt tired and had a hard time breathing. Then, after 4 hours it went away. I then read an article on gallbladder stones and the symptoms matched perfectly. I did nothing as I thought they just went away or passed through. Last night I had the attack again. Does it sound like a gallbladder problem? How are gallbladder problems/stones diagnosed? If it is a gallbladder problem , what are my options? Do I need my gallbladder taken out? Is there a dietary cure for it? If it is not a gallbladder problem what else could it be? Thank you.
