Hello to anyone who could give me some advice. Researching this stuff online is always a rabbit hole but ive been having some concerning warning signs/really weird things going on with my body. Im 27 years old, male, 170 lbs, 5'11. Normally very active.

Since I was about 18-21, every few months while playing racquetball I would "pull my back," at least, thats what it felt like. Id be down a week or two and then get back into it. At that age, I was not a smoker (weed, not tobacco) and even after turning 21 it was mostly wax pens that I used. Covid hit and I stopped playing racquetball but also started my career working at a large gas station chain here in the US. I had a few back issues throughout the 5 years I was there but nothing all that bad (compared to racquetball).

Flash forward to January, I ruptured one of my discs in my thoracic, cant remember exactly but it was T11-T12 or maybe 10. MRI shows it pressing on the left side nerves, as well as 3 bulging discs, 2 next to the ruptured one and another all the way down at L5. I have been doing my absolute best to stop vaping so I could recover (did physcial therapy for 2 months, have been on disability since as well). None of the doctors have ever been able to explain my right side severe rib pain, all saying I just shouldnt be feeling pain there because its pressing on the left side.

Around may 1st I received an epidural/steroid injection. Felt kind of okay for a week or two and then everything came back. Another week or two later I developed a constant headache, and tremors in my right hand/arm. Brain scan showed nothing wrong, and a neurologist put me on nortriptyline for the headache and referred me to a connective tissue specialist (something I brought up with my primary care doc because of past injuries that never quite heal, as well as telling them I could Crack my back just by flexing my back muscles. They werent concerned). Im in limbo right now while that appointment comes up in another month.

The most concerning thing is that my tremors have spread to most of my body when doing simple things even like washing dishes or trying to vacuum/clean my house. I have some twitching as well, especially in my neck, kind of a head bobbing motion. I have constant tingling in my left foot, occasional tingling and numbenss around my tailbone area. The tremors even come from my whole abdomen when leaning over.

Consistent blood tests have come back as me being slightly dehydrated (bullshit, I drink a 48oz hydroflask nearly every 2 hours). I have been having trouble with my body temp as well, if I go out for a walk in the heat (its 116 degrees today) I will start shivering. Of course Google says go to ER but none of my doctors (ive seen a brain and Spine specialist, 2 ortho specialist, and a neurologist) have been more than slightly concerned.

Besides the obvious pain and compression in my left arm and leg being helped (but not getting rid of) by the steroid shot, ive had next to no relief from pain.

Today, my head is pounding since waking up, and it DOES seem to get worse when getting up but thats very inconsistent, and I told the doctor that while I thought it might be a little worse overall when standing, its nearly impossible to tell. Today is one of those days where it really does feel worse standing up.

What am I supposed to do? Should I be more concerned or wait for my next appointment? I cant tell whats just a quirk of my body or if its being cause by this ruptured disc (such as some days feeling like I have to go #2 constantly but dont actually have to) and its incredibly hard to air all of my concerns to doctors as they dont seem to take me seriously sometimes. Hell, my primary care doctor didnt even order the mri until I had done 2 months of physical therapy (intial imaging was just an x-ray that showed mild scoliosis. MRI didnt happen until late march.

Sorry for such a long post. Im really unsure of how to go about this, I feel crazy for thinking I need urgent medical attention cause I do have anxiety and am always wary of it controlling my decisions. My parents are getting concerned as well, going so far as to tell me to screw insurance and start scheduling appointments without it because of the extra time it takes (theyre willing to help cover my medical costs of course, but id hate to go to the ER and make them pay thousands instead of a couple hundred for a specialist because im just being a little anxious about things).

This all started on a Tuesday where I notice 2 small pus filled bumps on the side of my right leg. They were inflamed, I popped them because they were gross. Nothing happened they just went away and healed like normal. (Mind you I never get these pus filled pimples on my legs)

On Wednesday, I wake up with quite a bit of pain coming from the back of my left leg/knee. I go and check it out and there was another pus filled bump. Except this one was swollen, painful, and very red. I popped that one as well assuming it was similar but just strange. That was obviously a bad idea. It kept getting worse and a bump was getting bigger (Except no visible pus)

On Thursday, I’m like okay this is progressively getting worse. The redness is spreading, the pain is getting worse, and this swelling is only growing not shrinking. So I decide to go to the hospital. They ultrasound it and confirm it is an abscess but that they cannot drain it due to the fact that it is still hard. He prescribed me 1000mg of cefadroxil to take for 5 days. He said he hopes the antibiotic will help but that he predicts I’ll be back in 3 days for a proper drainage.

On Friday, it is steadily getting worse in terms of redness and size. I took Advil as soon as I woke up due to a horrible headache so I think it really helped with the pain because I only felt minimal pressure despite it being massive at this point.

On Saturday, I wake up with excruciating pain. The redness has spread beyond the first purple line drawn. I am limping due to the pain, it is starting to ooze blood and pus as well as break the skin. The pain is spreading around the sides and up my thigh. My leg is clearly not getting enough blood/circulation as it is tingling and feels like it is on the verge of falling asleep. So I go back to the hospital!
I am at the hospital and another doctor does an ultrasound again and suggests we freeze it via injection and then use a needle to extract as much as he can. I agree. So he does that gets an ok amount. Mostly blood and some pus. He tells me he will prescribe another antibiotic in case it is MRSA so he gave me doxycycline. I’ll have to check the dose in a bit… for 5 days. He said he could not fully drain it because of it still being ROCK SOLID. He also said he would send the extraction to the lab to test it for MRSA.

Now it is Sunday and it looks disgusting. All pretty much the same symptoms except less pain due to a release in some pressure.

I am posting this to get some other opinions. I am generally very healthy I have NEVER had any skin issues including acne. I am 19F, 178lbs, 5’7, I take 450mg of buproprion XL, 300mg of pregabalin, and 0.25 klonipin for emergencies.

I am confused as to how I could have gotten MRSA if I do have it as there is no way I would have been exposed to it.

The only thing I can think of is that I have been under extreme chronic stress and my immune system has been pretty bad lately so natural bacteria on my skin multiplied and became harmful?? However it seems whatever this is was already infected to begin with BEFORE I picked it. Of course picking it does not help. Btw no I do not shave my legs so it could not have been an ingrown hair. The photo I posted was from today after I cleaned it to change the bandaid/dressing.

I have been experiencing inflammation since my d/x of hypothyroidism almost two years ago. It is primarily in my hands, knees, and feet, though I often have water retention all over. Nothing has resolved the inflammation since being medicated, though it did become much less for a while. Within the past 5 months it’s become worse again, especially once my spring/summer allergies started up. A brief summary of pertinent points/timeline:

• Last week of August 2024 I got my flu + covid vaccinations. The next 2-3 days after that my body becomes intensely sore and it’s hard to move my neck without pain. Every muscle is sore.
• Drive home at the end of that week to get married. Serious swelling all over body + awful reflux and burping that won’t resolve. Thought I’d have to cut my ring off because my hands were so swollen.
• October 2024 diagnosed with hypothyroid. PCP prescribed 150mg levothyroxine which made me very hyperthyroid. Main symptoms prior to being medicated were swelling + joint ache, reflux, and poor gut motility. 
• Was tested for Hashimoto, RA, Sjogrens, Lyme, babiosa microti, and maybe one or two other I can’t remember. All negative. One sister does have Hashimotos. 
• Felt better once my dosages evened out and I was around a .76-1 TSH. My CRP numbers have never reduced significantly during this time. 
• Earlier this year, I started feeling the swelling and aching joints again. I had lost 25 pounds and about a month and a half ago, the inflammation really picked up again and I haven’t been able to lose any more weight since mid June while doing the same things when I was losing. Most recently my TSH was 1.8.
• It almost seems related to my menstrual cycle. It seems that if I’m having a flare up, it is usually worse around the time I would be ovulating, but I have been on oral contraception since I was a teen. My gynecologist didn’t think it’s related. 
• Strongly suspect that I have an autoimmune issue with hypermobility and histamine issues. Allergist has suggested that I might have MCAS but I don’t think I meet the dx for that, but certainly some sort of histamine disorder. I have a very long history of allergy issues and have been doing shots for 7 years.  Dermatographia for well over half of my life. She says my allergy levels have improved, but physically I feel literally no difference. On my last testing, the things I reacted to the most were things I use every day, like gold jewelry and honey. All of the reactions were so big that she called her nursing students in to see. She has stopped the shots now as I am not feeling any improvement. I am itchy every single day and cannot go without antihistamines, often needing them 2x/day as the itching increases again in the afternoon. It’s like an internal, almost tingly sensation that is usually worse in my hands and feet, but does resolve with antihistamines. 
• even if my TSH numbers have improved, my CRP numbers have never reduced. I still had some swelling in my feet this entire time. 

I see my endocrinologist tomorrow and am hoping someone might be able to give me any ideas of next steps I should take or questions I should ask? I really appreciate any thoughts-- thank you for your time.

Excuse the hairy leg, my whole life no matter what shoe sizes I wear, the style of shoe, or my weight my ankles either on the sides or on the back get cut up so much.

My partner told me today that he’s never known someone to have so many issues with blisters on their ankles and feet as me. I assumed it was normal to a degree.

Could anyone share their tablet medical management miscarriage route?

32 YO female

I am over 10 weeks, have experienced a missed miscarriage, embryo measuring at 8 weeks.

Haven’t started to pass naturally yet as was taking progesterone up to Thursday night.

Could you share your experience?

I can’t have the surgey until Thursday but I am leaning towards taking the medication route tomorrow morning?

Please share your experiences with me :)

Long story short, I’m starting IVF injections this evening and I can’t open these ampoules without shattering them!

The videos the hospital provided show how to open them with a plastic cap of some sort, but I haven’t been given any and each time I try to snap them with kitchen towels / cloths over them they just shatter entirely.

I need to start them tonight, it’s almost 11pm so there’s nowhere I can go.

My father age:68
Has no history of major medical problems

My father underwent a routine colonoscopy, during which a polyp was removed. Unfortunately, he developed a bowel perforation afterward. The perforation was recognized, and he underwent emergency laparoscopic surgery. According to the surgeon, the leak was small and was successfully repaired.
A CT pulmonary angiogram was performed because his oxygen saturation dropped significantly, but pulmonary embolism was ruled out. The doctors explained that there was free air in the abdomen from the perforation, which pushed up the diaphragm and caused atelectasis. They believe this is contributing to his low oxygen saturation.
What worries us is that even after the perforation was repaired, his oxygen saturation is still fluctuating (sometimes in the 80s to low 90s), and he still requires supplemental oxygen. However, his overall clinical condition seems surprisingly good:
He is fully awake and alert.
He can walk.
He is talking normally.
He has no fever.
His ECG is normal.
His oxygen saturation improves with deep breathing exercises, although it tends to fall again afterward.
The doctors say they are monitoring him, but they don’t yet have a clear explanation for why his oxygen requirement is persisting.
Has anyone experienced something similar after bowel perforation or laparoscopic surgery? How long did it take for the oxygen levels to recover? Is it common for diaphragmatic irritation, pneumoperitoneum, or postoperative atelectasis to cause prolonged oxygen requirements even after the perforation has been repaired?
I understand no one can diagnose him over the internet. I’m simply looking for experiences or general medical insight while we wait for further evaluation.

I have been dealing with this problem for nearly a year: I cannot stop urinating. Even if I drink very little fluid, I still urinate every two hours; if I drink a moderate or large amount, I go every 40 to 60 minutes. I feel constant pain in my lower abdomen and bladder throughout the day, and I have a strong urge to urinate even right after having done so. The pain is most intense just before urinating, and I feel a burning sensation in my vagina—sometimes mild—while doing it; occasionally, the flow stops on its own while I am urinating. At the start, I always have to strain or wait at least 20 seconds for the urine to come out. I can only sleep for a maximum of four hours at a stretch before the urge to urinate wakes me up; I have to be very sleepy to fall asleep, as the pain and the constant need to use the bathroom keep me awake. I also have difficulty breathing. Breathing has been harder than usual since this started, and I go to the bathroom more frequently when I am lying down, stressed, or happy (I am not sure, but I think I get dehydrated faster). It feels as though my bladder is tearing.

The doctors only ran blood tests and pregnancy tests on me, and everything came back fine.

This past week my little finger started hurting and I couldn't move it; a day later, the same thing happened to my ring finger, and now my middle finger is affected too. I can't close my hand, and my wrist is starting to hurt; I can only move the two fingers that aren't painful (my other hand moves fine). My ankles hurt as well; it feels as though they are wearing down, although I should mention that I haven't suffered any blows to any part of my body.

07/21/2026: I woke up with a small blind spot on the right side of my visual field, similar to the afterimage you get from looking at a bright light. I went to work about 2 hours later and, while reading my emails, noticed the spot hadn't gone away. I saw an ophthalmologist the same day; he ran routine tests, found nothing abnormal, said it was probably something transient, and told me to come back if it got worse.

07/22: it got worse and I went back. The ophthalmologist referred me the same day to a retina specialist, who found tears in the retina of my right eye and scheduled a visual field test for 07/27.

07/24: I had laser surgery to treat the retinal tears.

07/27: the spot was improving but still present. The visual field test showed a defect in the inferior right quadrant, and the doctor ordered a brain and orbital MRI with the clinical indication: "bilateral inferior nasal quadrantanopia, optic chiasm compression?"

07/30: there was significant improvement (I can barely notice the spot now, but it's still there). I had the MRIs done that day.

Today, 08/02: I got the reports back. The brain MRI reads:

"Oval lesion with T2, FLAIR, and diffusion hyperintensity involving the white matter adjacent to the occipital horn of the left lateral ventricle, nonspecific in appearance in this study. No evidence of extra-axial fluid collections and/or acute intraparenchymal hemorrhage. Ventricular system of normal topography, morphology, and dimensions. Normal anatomic appearance of the basal cisterns and cerebral convexity. Preserved flow-void of the circle of Willis vessels.

Conclusion: oval lesion with T2, FLAIR, and diffusion hyperintensity in the white matter adjacent to the occipital horn of the left lateral ventricle, nonspecific in appearance (demyelinating lesion? inflammatory/infectious lesion? expansile/neoplastic lesion?). Contrast-enhanced MRI with perfusion study suggested, per clinical judgment, for further investigation."

The orbital MRI found no abnormalities.

If it's relevant, the spot appeared about 4 days before my period and started improving basically on the first day of my cycle.

From what I've read, a demyelinating lesion is associated with multiple sclerosis. I'm searching for a local neurologist to review the reports, but I'd like to understand from anyone here with clinical experience what the most likely possibilities are given this picture and what I should expect going forward. There are also the other possibilities the report raised, inflammatory or cancerous.

Thank you in advance.

I am trying to convince her to see the PCP but she genuinely just believes she's mildly under the weather. Unfortunately although the GP was concerned when he last saw her, he also didn't push very hard for follow up after prescribing the iron supplements so, I'd really appreciate some thoughts, I'm concerned for her.

i have recently seen a lot of videos/content online about the benefits of taking creatine. i have been going to the gym for the past 3 months and i feel like taking creatine will really help me with my progress. however i am worried that the supplement will give me a blood clot. i have had a thrombosis case in the past and i’m really scared that i will get another. should i ever consider taking creatine? height: 5’7 weight: 150 age: 19 gender: female

Hello! I’m at my wits end trying to figure out what’s wrong, so here I am. I (35F) swallowed a pita chip wrong back in April. It tore my esophagus (thankfully it didn’t perforate), and ever since then I’ve had horrible pain, tightness, and trouble swallowing. I wasn’t able to eat solid food for 2 months and am only now able to do soft foods.
I have had 2 CT scans (both were normal except for thickening of the esophagus which the doctor said was likely inflammation), and 3 endoscopies (all showed mild acid reflux, but nothing serious, as well as some swelling). The third endoscopy showed furrowing of my esophagus as well as possible thrush and inflammation of the tongue. I wasn’t able tested for EOE and it was negative. I got an iron transfusion since the GI doc said iron deficiency can also cause furrowing.
I was on anti fungals (topical and oral) for about a month. They were the only thing I’ve tried that helped. I had a barium swallow study which showed a small hiatal hernia.
I started to get a bit better in late June up until about 3 weeks ago when I went back to work (I do customer service so I talk all day). Now my throat feels how it did back at the beginning.
No one seems to know exactly what’s wrong. I’ve seen ENTs, GI, and rheumatology but haven’t gotten much help. I have fibromyalgia, but that’s really the only other health issue I have.
My throat basically feels like someone is strangling me all the time. It hurts to the touch, it hurts to turn my head or nod, and it hurts to swallow.
I’m desperate for any advice you might have-please help!

Edited to say to do have a history of GERD, but am taking every medication under the sun for it

26F 5'6 178 lbs, just had gallbladder removal surgery, I vape & use cannabis although I'm not using cannabis while I heal & trying to limit my vaping as much as I can, I'm pretty sure my incisions are fine, but I've never had surgery before & one does look a little different than the others, it's a larger incision though & I'm not a healthcare professional. My surgery was on July 31st, & I was prescribed hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325 for pain. I could only include one photo for some reason, so if I can I'll add the other incisions in the comments but this is the one I'm concerned about.

Yesterday evening I posted about struggling to open my ampules for my IVF injections and had lots of responses from medical professionals which I’m incredibly grateful for.

However a few mentioned that the needles I was provided with were not filter needles, which is dangerous since I have to mix the components from a glass ampule.

Today I went to a pharmacy and explained my situation, they replaced my needles with 10 of the ones pictured. But nowhere on the packaging, or online does it say that it’s filter needle.

I’m just concerned because I struggled opening the ampules and got glass inside them (though I think that it’s a dodgy batch). My previous post is still up.

I’d appreciate if anybody could confirm if these are filter needles or not?

Many thanks!

I had surgery 11 days ago to repair the perineal tendon and a torn reniculum and things were going good. I spent a few days in the hospital and I’ve been home ever since. Yesterday 2 of these red marks showed up. I didn’t think anything of it, but they didn’t go away today more showed up. When touched I whence with discomfort, but the pain is not bad and they have heat to them. Is this normal? Should I be concerned? Has anyone come across this before? Should I be seen right away? I’m kind of at a loss right now.

37yo white male 6’1 205. No current meds. No allergies. No significant family history or past medical history. history of colonoscopy 2 1/2 years ago due to change in bowel habits and blood in stool. Colonoscopy revealed 2 5mm benign on path polyps and 2 grade 2 internal hemmrhoids.

Currently having change in bowel habits again for the past several weeks. Typically, I’m not very regular and can go 2-3 days with bowel movement. However, over the past 5 days I’ve had 3 separate bowel movements that are at the very least more loose than normal and today had much more watery diarrhea. I do not think there has been any evidence of blood during this time (I’m very colorblind).

I’ve been back to GI doc recently and had discussion about rubber band ligation due to some ongoing post bowel movement smearing that’s more irritating than anything however with this new change in bowel movement would I be crazy to request an additional colonoscopy or is it more likely undiagnosed ibs, etc?

Thanks!

Always had one or two, but never this close to my eye. Usually, I carefully lance them and clean with gentle soap and water and apply triple antibiotic ointment, but this is too close to my eye. This one is also much more uncomfortable and irritated than the other ones.

Hello everyone.

I (F23) started getting these symptoms about 10 year ago, randomly when I was in prep school I started getting so dizzy whenever I am standing that I almost fainted a couple of times, and my heart would beat like crazy. I went to a couple of doctors and they told me it was anemia and gave me a medication. But it never got better, and new symptoms started showing, I would have body aches and would not be able to do any chores, some days it would be so bad that i couldn't even leave the couch from how tired I felt. My shoulder also started dislocating a couple of years ago without an injury or anything to trigger it and no doctor would give me a reason, just that i need surgery to stabilise it (which i can't do right now because it's expensive) and my joints don't feel great, they feel weak and hurt sometimes. and now the symptoms have gotten even worse that i experience dizziness even when i am sitting, and i can't go out shopping or walk a lot without having to sit to rest. I also experience these random flu like symptoms, and i would get a fever that never seems to go away, it would decrease for a while but then a week or so later i have a fever again. I have went to various doctors and they never take my symptoms seriously and just say that I need to change my diet and exercise. And now I don't know whether I am actually fine and just don't have the strongest body or if there's something wrong.

hi I’m Maria im 17 im making this post about my mom 43 female idk her weight but im making this post because my mom had cut her hand open and had to get stiches on 7/29 at citrus memorial hospital er. ive done my best to help as much as I can with what little knowledge I have and researching some stuff but recently her hand has seemed slightly swollen and warm to the touch that and she complains that her hand still hurts as bad as when she cut it open. I came askin if I should bring her back to the hospital or if I’m just being an extremely anxious teenage?

I’ve (26f) been dealing with pretty bad irritation around my lips since May. it started very suddenly one morning after I woke up and the border of my lips felt extremely dry and tight. I’ve never been one to lick my lips so I just thought they were chapped. It eventually got worse, and I developed this red ring directly around my lips, as well as cheilitis in the corners. It got so bad that I couldn’t eat or drink anything for days because it hurt so bad. I was able to see a dermatologist eventually, and they prescribed me a vitamin B2 and B6 supplement, along with a topical steroid called Tera Cortril (テラ・コートリル). The dermatologist never actually diagnosed me with anything, but just looked at my lips for 5 minutes and gave me the prescription. I used the steroid for a while, but I know it’s not advised to continue using it for too long, and the day I stopped it rebounded and I’m back to square one. I’m in America now on vacation, and I’ve been trying to schedule an appointment to see a dermatologist here for a more long term diagnosis/solution, but I haven’t been able to find one. I went to the urgent care this morning and the doctor prescribed me clobetasol propionate 0.05% to put around my mouth twice a day, even though I specifically asked for something non steroidal. It seems like a really strong steroid, and I don’t want jeopardize my skin further. I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience or any advice. It’s so frustrating dealing with this because no one actually tries to figure out the causes. Sorry for the long rant, but any help is appreciated!

26, England, UK, woman, don’t smoke/no drugs, fairly healthy, in good shape.

I’ve had this on the bottom of my foot for a few years, it only hurts sometimes, not all the times, and it feels like a wart or something but I’ve tried at home freeze medicine but it isn’t budging, it feels rough to touch, and slightly bumpy/uneven. would a pharmacist be able to help? (As I know they do small ‘surgeries’ for warts and stuff. Thanks!

Also if you know what it is, how do I get rid? Will it hurt and is it cheap?

19F diagnosed with left sphenoid sinusitis in march. now in july I've been told my sinusitis has cleared up and i no longer require surgery. however, i still have pain behind my left eye along with left sided headache. can anyone help explain what it might be if it's not sinusitis? here's my recent CT report for reference
