30 year old female, height: 5 ft 2 inches, weight: 60 kg. I was taking diosmin for hemorrhoids a few days ago. Now my doctor prescribed naftidrofuryl oxalate for PAD. I stopped taking Diosmin yesterday. I wanted to know if naftidrofuryl oxalate interact with diosmin? Although I discontinued Diosmin still I'm worried if these 2 have any interactions.

Noticed a small hard lump on my left foot, its hard with no give, does not hurt, about the size of my fingernail and just barely protrudes about the amount of half a chickpea. I have a bunion on that foot that is about mild in severity, and the bump is about a half a centimeter to the back of the foot from the bunion. I just noticed it today and very sure it wasn't there a couple days ago.

I did alot of walking in new shoes about a week ago and sustained 6 blisters between both of my feet and was tending to them pretty often so was touching my feet alot. I did not notice the lump till today - and one blister is only an inch or so away from this lump. Its not a callus or on the exterior of the skin - its under the skin and feels almost like its part of my bone. I wondered if maybe the walking caused something? But why didn't I notice until today? Just looking for any advice.

I(20M) have had this condition for quite a while now (years). It's only on my left foot. The bigger one sometimes stings quite a bit (like an insect biting inside of it, the one on the toe doesnt sting). Just went on a long motorbike ride in the rain in flipflops, now it wet, bit inflammed (the picture in the comment) and hurts (different from the sting, not as painful and only when applied pressure to). What is it, and what should i do?

accidentally subluxed it while taking off my shirt. is it torn? the labrum my ortho said its fine but wanted more opinions. please help im 19 male

im female, 15 (almost 16), around 171cm (5'7") and roughly 60—65kg (132—143lbs). ever since i was like 12, ive always wanted to be 6" tall or more. every male in my family is pretty damn tall (the tallest being 6'7") so being tall is in my gene pool, but i feel like i havent had any notable growth for ages now. i know my height isnt short, but it's not that tall either, and i wanna know if i'll be stuck at this height or if i can speed up my growth. i dont take meds nor have i ever taken any, aside from over the counter stuff (obviously). thanks!

Help! I’ve been having 1000s of pvcs/extra heartbeats/eptopic beats

So I started having these eptopic heartbeats constantly around 7 months ago. I have them all day everyday.

I went to a and e with them around 8 weeks ago and the doctor ordered a 72 hour heart monitor

I’ve had the 72 hour heart monitor 5-6 weeks ago I got a letter through the post from the doctor in a and e yesterday simply saying

“ your heart monitor shows extra heart beats and occasional rapid heart rate, the cardiologist will be intouch in due course “

I’m literally having 1000s of eptopic a per day and it’s driving me insane! The cardiologist has sent me an appointment which is in 8 weeks from now.

The only thing that stops them is smoking cannabis. Like I can be having a massive episode and I smoke a few vapes of cannabis and it will go away for an hour or so then come back until I smoke again?

Since I’ve had these eptopic I’ve felt really tired, out of breath and having chest pains.

I feel like it’s stopping me doing anything. I’m scared to go out, scared to exercise or basically do anything that’s not relaxing in the house. I do have quite bad anxiety but I’ve had that for over 15 years and never had these beats before.

I’m just hoping for some words of encouragement really. I’m terrified that somethings really wrong with my heart.

Is there anything I can do or anything that people have found that helps calm the extra beats down? Like I say it’s constant all day long! I struggle to fall asleep at night because the beats keep me awake

Thank you

Medication prescribed for cellulitis: Cephalexin 500mg 3/day 10 x days

Went to urgent care on Thursday with, what I thought was cellulitis. One look from the doctor and he agreed. Wrote me out of work for a few days and gave me a prescription.

Been taking aspirin and tylonel this whole time. Not at the same time, alternating between the 2 every 4-5 hours. Also taking my antibiotic at appropriate times

Day 1 Thursday : 2 pills (lunch and dinner). Started feeling achy and fever. Kinda cold. Was up and around hanging out.

Day 2 Friday : 100 fever, chills, shivering. Felt like absolute garbage for most of the morning and afternoon. Fever finally broke that evening. Still was a little achy but felt 10x better

Day 3 Saturday: felt like 80% my normal self. Was up doing chores little by little around the house. Still taking it easy. Elevating my leg with cold compresses

Through all of this, the rash on my leg has only gotten bigger and redder. How warm it has been fluctuated over this time. The rash hasn’t gotten any bigger in the last 2 days but definitely hasn’t gone down. Been using pictures everyday to track the growth.

I know that a simple trip to the emergency room will clear up how bad it really is (urgent care closed on Sunday) but that will be so expensive for something that might be normal

So is the worsening rash, fluctuating warm/pain a normal cellulitis byproduct or are the antibiotics not working? I’ve taken 8 pills so far, about to take the ninth with breakfast

Thanks for your help

I am 20M at 6’1” and 210lbs. i don’t smoke and was sober when this happened as we were on the way to the bar. i’m studying abroad and last night on the way from our apartment to a local bar i misstepped and my right leg fell between the train and the platform. i pulled myself up and out in no time. my leg hurt then but i was able to walk/jog completely normally. i assumed all would be well. this morning however i have woken up and my leg is massively swollen and bruised all around the upper side of the knee. i have been trying to do a few rom tests and tests i learned when i did sports med and kinesiology in high school. i’m still not sure if this is a pressing issue or if there’s a way to tell if it’s just bruising and nothings really wrong. any advice would be much appreciated. i don’t know how doctors in europe work as well for americans and what they might be able to do if something is wrong. furthermore i feel that this is a hugely embarrassing thing to have to see a doctor about as well but if the advice is to go see one then i will.

(Photos included in comment) I (19F) was prescribed Amoxicillin for strep and started taking it yesterday. When I took it tonight, around half an hour afterwards I noticed these red splotches all over my stomach and chest, and now some areas are starting to appear on my face. I don’t feel any itchiness at all and am not experiencing any unusual symptoms other than the red spots. I am wondering if what I am experiencing is an allergy or a normal side effect? photos of symptom (redness is not as apparent in photos!) The last time I took Amoxocillin was around 2 months ago for a dental infection and I experienced no side effects, and I have also took the antibiotic several other times in my life and never once experienced this, which is why I’m confused if I have suddenly developed an allergy to it and need to stop taking it or if this will hopefully just be a one time thing and is just a side effect?

There has been absolutely no other changes in my diet these few days and I have been sick with the fever so I’ve just been resting and doing nothing new in my routine.

Hello! I am a 29 years old male (1,77m height, 69 kg).

For the past 2 months I have had a lot of problems with swallowing solids (feeling like something is stuck between my nose and my mouth). It started on 28th of June, when I was trying to eat something and felt like chocking, a simptom that lasted for around 6 hours (I believe there were panic attacks as my Spo2 / heart rate were fine).

Did a lot of medical tests such as Fibroscopy, performed 2 times by 2 different ENT doctors, mentioning that nothing is wrong with my throat or swallowing.

I have had tonsil stones for a long time already and from time to time the tissue that covers the tonsils is red and it hurts when I swallow, yet the ENT said that the removal is optional as that could not be the cause of my simptoms.

Went to a medic for Gastro to make sure I do not have GERD, he performed an Endoscopy, mentioning that there is nothing wrong.

Did a check-up with a Neurologist, again mentioning that there is nothing wrong after a CT scan.

Eventually I went to a Psychiatrist and mentioned everything I went through and she mentioned that I should have a psychological evaluation as it could be stress / anxiety related.

This morning when I woke up, I saw a red spot next to my uvula (see attached picture)

What could be the reason for my simptoms?

I am 32F, 145lbs, currently take one fexofenadine tablet daily for allergies. I’m autistic. No other medications or diagnoses.

I very rarely drink. But when I do, I’ve found that I really struggle the next day. I feel so anxious, heart is racing, I’m very tearful and apprehensive. I just feel horrible (which is why I often avoid alcohol!). I went out for the first time in months last night, and now today I feel so, so stressed. A while back I was prescribed some 1mg tablets of lorazepam. I got given them to help me manage job interview anxiety (it was so bad I couldn’t speak, and I desperately needed a job!). I still have 6 tablets left, and wondered if taking one would help me feel less horrible today?

But I know alcohol can be a bad mix with benzodiazepines, so I don’t know if it would be safe to take a tablet yet? Could too much alcohol still be in my body?

If it’s helpful, this is what I drank (over the course of 5 hours): two cocktails (both gin based, no idea on ABV), three pints of cider (approx 5% ABV).

I had my last drink at 12.30 last night, it is now 10.20am.

hello

25M I had a haemorrhoid about three weeks ago which turned into a sort of cut which has turned into this (pics below)

I also have swollen feet, ankles and shins. this started about a week ago now. they are itchy sometimes and quite red, sore and hard around the shin.

I’m getting kinda worried about it now, any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello, guys. I'm 24F, 5'9, 200lbs. I don't smoke or take drugs. I drink once every few months. I take trazodone, propranolol, and zoloft.

For the last couple of months, I've had this weird feeling after eating spicy food, especially when I eat spicy chips like Takis. It doesn't happen instantaneously, but like half an hour after I eat something spicy, my vulva suddenly starts burning. It doesn't hurt per se, it's just uncomfortable. It also doesn't itch or smell and I don't see any discharge. The feeling is across my vulva, not concentrated in a specific place. It burns a bit when I pee.

This burning sensation lasts for a few minutes and then disappears. I don't know if it matters, but I'm a virgin and I've never had sex, so I don't think it's an STD or something like that.

It's strange because I've eaten spicy food my whole life and never had this happen before. I haven't increased my spicy food intake or anything like that.

What could it possibly be?

Male - 18,

182 cm, 59 Kilograms, Indian, I dont drink or smoke or use any drugs, Currently Not taking any medications.

Primary complaint - My skin around the genitals, the inner thigh around my ball sack is very itchy, there are medium sized pimple like formations which are painfull if toucched. When i itch the skin there it turn white and feels very dry and sometimes that white dry skin falls off like powder , this has been going for 6 months nearly, i feel very itch during the night, in the day i don't feel like itching. The problem is only around my genitals and no where else. I eat 2-3 eggs daily, chicken and mutton once a week. I would love to get some help!

Hi, asking here as I've mentioned it to friends and it doesn't happen to them!

So, I'm a 21F and occasionally (once every couple months) my little toenails come off - either by me trying to cut them (and revealing that one side of the toenail has become detached from the base) or they just fall off.

And by little toenail I mean the one furthest from the big toe, and sometimes the one beside the little toe (ring toe?), but very rarely.

This happens to my mum too, and she's always said its due to iron deficiency but I'm not sure.

It's not a major issue - it doesn't hurt too bad and I'm used to it now, I'd just like to know the cause.

Additional Notes: I don't play any sports, nor do I wear shoes that damage my nails.

Hello doctor folks, I am 45 M, height - 5 feet 9 inches, weight - 64 kg, medicine - montelucast

Given below in the comment section is my pft test I wanted to know if I am asthmatic and is losing weigh a symptom of it ?

Thank you

17F, 66kg and 5'4

Symptoms include constant arousal without any sexual stimulation, pain in the clitoris and pain on the left side (most often) of my tummy up until my belly button. All of it matches up with PGAD, that i googled about, and I've seen that most doctors don't know about this. I'm holding out hope this might be something that's treatable. I've been dealing with this since the 27th of July. Please can I get some help? This is ruining my life and is all I can think about.

edit: other symptoms are also that I'm peeing more than often (not uti level, just more than i used to previously) and it my previous symptoms sometimes get worse when i try to hold my pee in.

Is someone able to read my 4 year old sons chest xray. Not sure what I am looking at and could be waiting a while to get reporting back and meeting with physician. Persistent dry cough lasting 5 plus weeks, low energy.

Edit: No I do not use cocaine/ never have. Just constantly obsessively picking my nose for many years and now it’s gotten real bad and the worse it gets the more I pick my nose

AMAB 22 yrs old 140-150lbs somewhere in there 6’2” tall Diagnosed: autistic, ptsd, adhd,schizophrenia , Allergies: penicillin Medical conditions: wolf Parkinson’s white syndrome (I had a heart ablation surgery for this already) Taking escitalopram 10mg daily (ssri)

I have a big ass hole right in the middle of my septum, its so big i can fit my entire pointer finger through it, and it is constantly hard to breath fully because it is always getting scabbed up and trying to heal itself I guess but then I pick my nose until it’s all cleared usually causing bleeding that drips out of both nostrils, making the problem worse overall but allowing me to breathe for awhile. I’m getting really anxious because it’s getting worse and worse and I’m scared to get surgery because I really really like the shape of my nose and am scared of it looking different I don’t want them to mess with my nose. What do I do? Do I need surgery? Will it mess up my nose shape?

What is happening with my abdominal area post-op? I had an open incision laparotomy to remove a 24cm ovarian cyst.

My abdominal area near my bikini line is looking “lumpy” in several spots. Has anyone experienced this and how did you fix it?

It’s much less swollen than right after surgery 5 weeks ago, and it was one big bump all around at first, but the swelling is lopsided and there are divets kind of like craters on either side of the incision. It kind of looks like a butt or a peach 🍑. The pain is still there and has localized to only that area. When I press on the skin, it is hard and sore.

I’ve read different diagnoses of this happening from tummy tuck, liposuction…is it similar? What is this called? Is it actually swollen or is it just my fat being moved around?

29F New Zealand Long story but I have a history of continuously injuring my wrist in the same spot. I was put in a plaster cast for a couple of weeks due to a suspected fracture and the history of my wrist and due to have an appointment soon. Now I’m out of town for a funeral and my cast went soft. I paid to go to a clinic and asked them to replace it with a new cast(lady on the phone said it would be fine) they refused and have put me in a splint that is digging in where my wrist hurts (it’s not too tight) I’m due to have an appointment with my dr back home in a week but not sure I can deal with the splint for another week. Can I go to another clinic and ask for a cast? What should I do?

I(18M) am in the hospital at the moment, been here about a week, I am immunocompromised. The pain in my throat is so severe that my brain pretty much has started to fear food and drinks. I don’t know what else to do I haven’t eaten in days and they’re taking me off fluids in a few hours. Is there any like throat exercises I can do? I finally started steroid shots yesterday and I feel a tad better. I have UC and 2 autoimmune disorders in my liver if I heard correctly, I’ve barely been awake. Any advice helps I’m just tired and scared.

I have a lump I'm concerned about. I got an ultrasound last year and it came back clear. but the lady did find something, which she said was a fatty deposit.

But I'm still concerned, I feel like my "chest" is increasing in size only on that side and I always have a pain, I do think it could be from another cause, like perhaps I'm toning the muscle in my chest by mistake? But i'd just like to know what's going on so I don't have to worry.

Anyway, i went back to the GP and they just poo-pooed my concerns and told me it's not likely because of my age and refused a second test.

Who should I go to for a second opinion when my GP isn't taking it seriously? Is there a dedicated breast cancer organisation I could get a test at? And what test should I request - an MRI?

Thanks very much for your kind help.

PS: I had to put "chest" because my post keeps getting flagged as NSFW

I don't remember it but I have heard and watch a video about a man who lost his memories and he thinks he still in his 20's, thinking he time travelled.

I, M27, had septoplasty surgery 2 days ago. I’ve been doing everything as instructed, including nasal rinse a few times a day. I’m using one of those squeeze bottles where you add the saline powder. However, when I tried to do my nasal rinse again, I felt extreme pain in my ear like the rinse was going to burst through my ears. Is this normal? What can I do? My ears now feel plugged

Female, 23. Non-smoker, occasional drinker. Only medication is Lamotrigine. It’s quite difficult to explain. But for the last 4-5 months I have been dealing with what I thought was me being overly horny. However I’m actually not interested in having sex at all and if anything dealing with this puts me off even more. I have a constant feeling of pressure around the vulva/perineal area. I’ve also noticed when I press down on my perineal area I get a slight amount of pain and am uncomfortable. It comes on out of nowhere, normally in the evening and just doesn’t go away. Sometimes I’ll use a toy to help get some relief but even when I’m finished it comes back. It’s literally nothing to do with me wanting sex. I had a doctor look down there at the beginning of the year and everything looked normal. Nothing else was done about it. All I can think that could be causing it is either my medication (Lamotrigine) or the fact that I came off the depo at the beginning of this year. But I thought if it was me coming off contraception it would have corrected itself by now. Does anybody have any idea of what’s going on? And how I can help it?? It’s getting to the point where it’s stressing me out, irritating me and I feel like I can’t relax.

Hi, I’m 23F, no medical conditions and not on any medications.

Around three to four weeks ago I pulled a hangnail on my pinky finger and a few days after my finger was very sore, red and slightly swollen. I just ignored it and it seemed to get better. But now my cuticle on the nail has turned yellow and there is dark red spots at the bottom of my nail. I have no pain or any other symptoms.

What could cause this? What should I do? Thank you.

I female 29 ate some eggplants that were left out on the counter for a few days. We are moving and just didn’t notice. I know that sounds silly but it’s true. I am showing no symptoms but am a hypochondriac so once my husband mentioned what could happen I started feeling ill. Please let me know what you suggest. Thank you.

Basic Info About me.
22M
Height: 6'3(actually)
weight: 73Kgs
Exercise atleast3-4 times a week,
(currently studying for something so i need to focus and study all day idk if this is relevant)

Okay so long story short, i have been popping pills a little too much lately,

I had acne issues(severe) until last years and and was prescribed 20mg oral Tretinoin, so this year avoiding doctor costs when i had some acne i thought of getting the meds off counter and dosing in the same precribed amount. No problem there(i hope) except that i was irregular a little

Now coming to the main part, I've been taking cod liver oil for my knees and joints, and zinc (self dose) coz i had low zinc in the blood test results, all of these contain vit A i take Zinc and Cod liver daily and Tret thrice a week, should ne concerned of liver or any other issues.

Been taking zinc coz its a known dht blocker and i am having some serious hairfall issues, so now i even take 1.25mg of Oral Minoxidil daily.

So this becomes 20mg Tret, 1.25 mg Min, 1 zinovit(idk how many mg) and cod liveroil 300mg daily

Along with this i am also taking ashwagandha for stress(this has known effects on liver)

Am i killing myself, or is it not as bad as it looks, been doing this for about 20ish days now. I have never taken medicines for anything and now that i found this easy way things(topical minoxidil is too much effort same goes with diet changes) I can't leave it.

If i should stop, what should i stop for now, what levels do i moderate, what blood test should i get done?

Thanks, PLEASE no fear mongering and give me more anxiety hence more hairfall and more acne

Just explain to me what went wrong here

Hi Drs,

Currently spiralling due to Dr Google and my GP is only available in a few days time so hopefully someone can help provide a little more clarity (rule out/list out) possibilities of what's going on.

I'm on tons of prescribed medications due to mental health and have been on most for >10 years. I have been overusing OTC painkillers (panadol, ibuprofen etc) and benzos on a regular basis in addition to my migraine meds due to yep, migraine.

• usually take them all at the same time and can take up approx 20 painkillers/10mg xanax.
• Taking even more than usual (usual being the dosage as above) + all my reg meds for the past 6 months
• Nauseous everyday for last couple months (thought it was due to migraine), some blood in vomit quite often but tangled in saliva so i thought it wasn't a big deal.
• Sudden extreme abdominal pain last week, went to ED and had the results below.

FYI, for the last 6 months since Feb, my mental health has severely detoriated and i have been literally bedrotting (totally sedentary) for 23 hours a day EVERYDAY other than going to the toilet/feeding my cat. I really wanted to get myself up but my ED is so fucked.

Only ate junk and gained ~7kg.

I'm sure these were strong contributors. But my last blood test done just >1 month ago was still normal so i really don't understand how it can go so wrong so quickly?!?!

• I'm not turning yellow.
• My tummy is way more bloated than it used to be (but then again I've also been binging on junk).
• My wounds still heal really quickly.
• Gained 7kg in 6months but not surprising given the amount of junk i am eating w/o even moving.

As a layman learning from Dr Google, it sounds like it might be pancreatic cancer/pancreatis/cirrhosis/infection/something to do with gallbladder or bile duct?

My relevant test results are listed below. Hopefully someone can enlighten me.

Thanks!!
