I’ve had this on my toe for around two weeks now, it doesn’t cause any discomfort when i walk or anything like that. The only time it hurts is if i press it quite hard.

It’s hard but i can see its like skin on the inside, can anyone tell me what this is and if it’s serious?? It was a lot worse before, i’ve been doing salt baths and applying ointment to it but this seems like it’s as healed as it’s going to get with simple creams.

This is my first post so I have really no idea what I'm doing. In the ninth grade, I had a large bone tumor (osteochondroma) basically attached to my knee. It was 2"x1"x1" and it needed to be taken out which is apparently rare since most people don't even know they have it. My tumor was also apparently the largest tumor my doctor has taken out... He even saved it in a jar lol. He removed 1/3rd of the muscle in my leg and trying to keep more muscle would have worsen my quality of my life mobility wise (wheelchair, crutches, cane, etc.). I now have nerve damage in the same leg because of my stupidity (a completely different story) and it's honestly just something I've always wondered. My "bad" leg has been the focus of so much physical therapy and gym trainers but it feels like nothing has ever helped.

I'm basically just wondering if there is anything I can be doing more of to get it back, if I even can. I'm assuming not, but I can't find anything online to give me a direct answer so that's why I'm here.

I collected some nasal drip in one of these yesterday as I need to get it tested. I opened the container today and it smells really bad. Has anyone got any idea as to why this is? All that is in it is a small amount of water-like liquid from my nose.

So, I know that it's normal for your heart rate to elevate while you are masturbating, and to drop lower than normal resting rate after reaching peak or orgasm, however, when I masturbate my heart rate drops during the act and gets slower and starts skipping beats when I get closer to my peak and then it speeds up (almost) immediately after I'm finished. Anybody know what this means? From what I've heard/read up on Masturbation usually (if unhealthy/not in great physical condition?) results in something similar to tachycardia however I am experiencing something similar to brachycardia. Just looking to see if I'm the only one and if anybody has any sort of explanation.

No warmth, pain, itchiness and no symptoms in general. Should I wait it out to see if it’ll settle down by the morning? It’s midnight here now.

Whenever I stand up for too long, it feels like my head’s being pressed and I start seeing black spots, so I immediately sit down to prevent fainting. I also have chronic fatigue and can sleep for over 12+ hours.

I thought it’d be anemia but as shown in the picture hemoglobin level is on lower end but still normal range. MCV, MCH and MCHC are all low though. Could my symptoms be due to another cause?

barely touched the fat layer, took a shower and it removed the dried blood so it's just bare now. i've never gotten an infection before, to my knowledge. what do i do? do i even need to do anything? i have neosporin but it says for minor cuts, i dont believe this is a minor cut so i dont know if i can use it.

These cig burns are about 4-5 days old. If I keep them uncovered, they scab over with a greenish tint. What degree burns are they and are they healing correctly?

I need medical advice and opinions on if this man cheated on me.

Saturday we performed the deed. My man developed UTI symptoms on the following Tuesday and went to the urgent care. He came back behaving a little odd saying the doctor said he would need to tell his wife about this, but the doctor believed it was 100% a UTI but still recommended further testing 🤔 On Wednesday, he got a result back showing he was positive for gonorrhea. He told me then, he had gotten gonorrhea of the eye. He return to urgent care and was provided treatment, but did not tell me. He stated he went in for another screen because the results were contradictory since the urine culture came back negative for bacteria. Thursday I tested and by Friday my results showed I was also positive.

I have heard the following excuses:

1. Gonorrhea of the eye that traveled
2. An inmate at work shit himself so he must have gotten it from that
3. He got saliva on him from an inmate which somehow got into his mouth and gave him oral gonorrhea. When he spit during the act on Saturday that's how it got to our down under parts.

I understand this man works in a high risk type of job, but is this really believable? How likely do you think any of this is? Did he cheat? He is standing by his story that he never once cheated on me.

FYI- I've been tested multiple times during our relationship and have always been clean, so I did not pass him an unknown infection from me.

I (20f) have been dealing with PMDD as well as hormonal issues for years. When I say hormonal issues, I mean;

• some months breast pain will last 3+ weeks/not stop with period
• feeling super drained and unable to be productive
• early or late periods <7 days
• anxiety causing breakdowns and nightmares around period
• migraines around period
• hot flashes

Period pain is also pretty bad and for the past few months I've felt a sharp pain where my right ovary should be days before actual bleeding.

In 2022, I had several tests done. Everything was normal except prolactin being 41. Future restests showed elevated but normal levels. My gyno put me on norethindrone and an ssri. Neither helped. My endocrinologist referred me back to gynecology. Everyone said a spike to 41 (prolactin) was normal. My final diagnoses was pmdd and ovulatory dysfunction (which means nothing specific!).

I'm trying one more gyno before I give up. I really feel like I have endometriosis and there's tissue putting pressure on my ovary. I also have digestive issues, which I read could be linked to endometrial tissue. I know this is far fetched but I really want an answer. Any advice or thoughts would help.

As title explains, what happens to amputated body parts of other things that have been removed from a person. What does the hospital do with them?

Hello,

I am a terrible overthinker so I want to see if I'm overthinking with this. I'm sorry about the gross topic.

For context I'm a 19 year old female.

When passing stool lately, I have been wiping up blood. It is red in color. Not a lot of blood though. It's minimal. My stool has been dark brown and I have not noticed any blood in the stool itself. Today I got some dark, black looking specs that did look wet and sticky like bits of blood

I don't think I ate anything that could cause this. I do take exedrin, and I used to use it more often but I rarely use it anymore because I'm on medication to help with my headaches. Amitriptyline btw in case that would have anything to do with it but I don't think so

I recently was also passing blood clots via vaginal area. Biggest one was size of 3 dimes. My doctor reassured me this was normal with the birth control pill I am on. levonorgestreL-ethinyl estrad. I dont know if that has to do with it but that started happening and then stopped but then this other issue started and I'm worried all over again.

I have not had any symptoms besides cold symptoms because I also have a cold rn. Only thing is fatigue sometimes on and off but that's normal for me. No pain or anything like that.

Could this be GI Bleeding coming back to haunt me for taking Excedrin too often? Even when I did I don't think I ever took too much, but there were days it was multiple days in a row.

Along with that if it is is GI Bleeding as fatal as I've been led to believe?

Or am I just overthinking and this isn't as major as I think

my friend downs tajin, the seasoning, all the time, but she started coughing up blood. it started a month or two ago, but it stopped after i made her stop eating seasoning for a while. once it stopped, she started eating seasoning again. its come back now, worse. she coughs blood every 10 minutes or so and it lasts for a few minutes. she can't seek professional medical help due to personal reasons, and she holds the coughs in when in public. it's been back for a few days, and it's been really bad. it keeps getting worse. i've been doing some research about it, and i think it's pulmonary aspiration and the cause is the tajin. her symptoms include shortness of breathe, fever, sweat, and coughing up blood. for now, we've limited her tajin intake and have had her drink more water, but it isn't working. a lot of sources say to seek professional help, but we can't. the blood is dark-ish red. any help is much appreciated.

Not sure what is it maybe ring worm?

I have friends with both conditions and we had a discussion about this a while back, but is this actually possible?

Woke up aching everywhere in the red box. My muscles feel tight, going to the bathroom is urgent. And I’m nauseous.

I had a similar problem last December and ended up losing 50 lbs. because of it. Every time it “flares” I try to find out what it is, but I haven’t yet. It is not my period, I am on hormonal bc to stop my period because of PCOS. It is not IBD, colonoscopy came normal. I have sciatica, but this feels different. It’s like an achy cramping pain.

i woke up and all of the sudden it feels like im not fully conscious. i zone out allot all of a sudden and dont really feel real or something. everything that people say is a bit phage at times. anyone any idea how this can accure. (i did had a party 2 days aggo with lots of alcoholic drinks)

A few months ago I was in such a bad spot and it got to a point where I took 18 500mg Tylenol. I ate a lot before that and stuff but it didn't even affect me. I spent the next week worried because all I heard was that it was a painful death and stuff. I didn't even have pain on my side or any stomach ache I didn't feel any pain and 3 months later I feel okay. Is this normal or will these affects get to me later in another 3 months.

For about three weeks I have had this lump under my left arm. If I move my arm up and down it seems to move where it goes (closer to arm pit). I have had a cold for 2 weeks now as well. It feels hard but moves when I press it. I am a 28 year old female, no underlying health issues but am freaking out. What could it be?

Hello. I’ve been having an issue for month where I can taste and see blood in my saliva. It happens most days, maybe once or twice a day.

It’s very hard to tell where it’s coming from, but seems to be from my left tonsil.

I’ve been to the doctors and have been referred to the hospitals ear, nose & throat department for an “Urgent” appointment.

Soooo that urgent appointment is a 6 MONTH wait. It’s been 3 months and now I’ve got a letter saying the appointment has been cancelled and to wait for a new one.

Is there anything I can do?. I feel stuck with no help and no solution and the amount of time I have to wait for an “urgent” appointment is insane

Thanks

Hello, i'm 31 male, overweight, and I have an easily feelable knot in my breast since at least 2018.

It is approximately 1/4th way from sternum to nipple and about on the same height (a bit below) with the nipple and right beneath my skin. It's moveable by hand (like wiggly, but fixed to its general position). Its about the size of the tip of my point finger (got small hands, maybe 1x1 cm) and I would say it hasn't increased in size in those years but I DO THINK it did a bit although so slow that I can't compare it.

I already had an mri scan in 2020 with "contrast agent(?)" and a marker capsule on the outside above spot but they came to the conclusion it would only be a Tietze syndrome. If it would have been that, it would have been gone by now right?

I have no immediate feelings from it but sometimes maybe a small "pulling" feeling?

Do you have any ideas what else it could be? I am very afraid to go see a doctor again in case it's something really bad so I need some less serious ideas from Reddit.

Thank you very much you would help me immensely!
