I have these little dots everywhere...?

i dunno how to really explain it, but i got them like...2 days ago, and they're just getting worse.Like..at first i thought they were bug bites, but they're really small to be bug bites, and i have way tOo many of them. I was thinking i was allergic to something, some of them itch, but they're annoying to have EVERYWHERE...i have some on my legs, stomach, arms, hands, and lot on elbows...i just wanna know how to get rid of this??
Answer:
Hmmm. Only a dermatologist could say for sure.
It sounds like you're having an allergic reaction to SOMETHING.
Have you changed detergents? Bought a new outfit/sheets/etc. without washing them first? Sat on a couch at somone else's house? Tried a new food?Have you tried Benadryl? It should help with the itching!Good luck!
Sure they're not flea bites? Flea bites are really small. Go to a medical site online and see if you can find a picture that matches. Then go see a doctor!
They might be the chicken pox. You only get them once in a lifetime! They really itch. Go to the doctor!
sounds like chicken pox. to be sure you might want to see a doctor he can tell you for sure what they are. If they itch for the time being you can put calamine lotion on it. Check to see if you are running a fever its possible if you have a fever that its chicken pox. But to be sure see your doctor immediately
i think it is chicken pox because they itch. i suggest you google chicken pox and select image to see the pictures of chickenpox and know whether it is the same with your own

I have the flu?

do you think i should go consult a doctor?
Answer:
U should go
Of course.
YESAnytime you think you're not feeling well, go to the doctor.
at least call him - he may give you some TamiFlu (sp?)
nooo its just he flu
I think you should go to a pharmacist and ask for pills to get rid of the flu. You should also drink lots of water and get lots of sleep. If you have a sore throat just gargle salt water or drink honey and I think that should help.
sure ... what you waiting for?!
you can't say that you have the flu until you go to the Dr. and he says you have the flu! He will test you for it! He can give you medicine to help with all the symptoms!
Yes, you should certainly go out into public and expose yourself to as many people as possible. Your doctor probably doesn't use a telephone either, so going out into public would be your only option. And I bet you have no idea what to do either. You've probably never heard of getting tons of rest, fluids, and vitamin c. You should definitely put others at risk in order to be told the obvious.
No need. If you're confident that it's a flu virus, then treat it accordingly. But if you feel like it's getting worse in the next day or 2, then a trip to the MD is a good idea.
As the Flu is a virus there is little a doctor can do. They can trat the symptoms and or any secondary infections.
Go to a pharmacy and ask there advice.
Or else drink hot whiskey and lemon
no not unless you feel like you're just to weak to take care of yourself.
If you know it's the flu and have experienced it before (and who hasn't) just treat it the same way you always have. Take Aspirin to relieve aches and pains, drink plenty of fluids (avoid alcohol) and get abundant bed rest. If you have an accompanying fever, bundle up in bed and sweat it out, until the fever breaks.
Get well fast.
Unless you are under the age of 6 or over the age of 60 ride it out. Everyone gets the flu. People with serious problems need over worked doctors more than healthy flu sufferers.

I have terrible skin and my mom doesn't understand. help?

i have horrible acne and acne scars all over my face. my face is discolored and has dark areas all over. i also have tons of blackheads in my nose, and whiteheads on my cheeks and chin. and my face is so oily, i can wash my face and 5 min later it'll be oily again.it's wrecking my life. i feel so low. i don't feel normal. i would rather not be living. my mom won't even look into taking me to a dermatologist because she says its too expensive and we can't afford it. we can barely afford our rent.
i tried to tell my mom all the time how it's wrecking my life, but she keeps telling me it's all in my head and love my skin.HELLO! how can i love my skin when it's full of disgusting crap. i always look dirty and it sucks. i just want a fresh, smooth, clear, even toned, face.ugh this sucks!if you are reading this you're awesome. thanks for taking the time to read this and answer.i need help, advice big time.
Answer:
The teen years are horrible enough without acne aren't they, but it's something that everybody will or has been thru all because of hormones. It actually means you are growing up. Here is a great site that provides alot of tips and very important info that you need to remember and that are free. Sometimes things you don't think about unless someone tells you, and they also tell you what ingredients to look for in the products you buy and so on.
http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/health_pro...
http://www.skincarephysicians.com/acnene...
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/acne.About your mom - you probably inherited your skin type from her, and I bet she went thru the same thing at your age. Ask her how she took care of her face at your age and was her's in as bad as yours. She may share some of her beauty secrets with you!An alternative to a dermatologist, which is expensive, is either your regular doctor or maybe even the health department or a low cost clinic in the area. After everything else is tried, just talk to your mom about this and ask if she can think of a low cost way for you to see any doctor about your skin. She might even be able to ask friends, family, or around work for suggestions on where to go in your area.
If she won't take you to a dermatologist, would she take you to a doctor for a course of anti-biotics?
I took my son and he was prescribed some medication which did the trick.
Okay, first you need to change your outlook. This is something you can work through and it's temporary, it's not worth wanting to die for. Secondly.. I know you see all these expensive treatments for acne.. but really... Buy a bar of Dial antibactierial soap. It's cheap.. and it works as well as the other stuff. Wash your face every morning and night with the Dial. Someone told me to try this and it WORKED for me. Good Luck!
You can still see a pediatrician or your family doctor. This should not be too costly. You may also try the website of web MD and look for some info by yourself.
My friend's son has a similar but much worse problem. He needs to take pills/ get shots to regulate his hormone to control his skin condition. Try to consult the professional and find the root of it. Usually it's not just the skin if it's very serious.
Besides, your mood may influence your hormone, thus your skin. So try to relax(I know it's hard). Try exercises. Drink plenty of water. Eat more veggie and fruit. Sleep enough at nighttime.
Regular cleaning is very important, too. You know, shower everyday, wash your face and all that. If you do not shampoo your hair regularly(at least every 2-3 days), the oil on your face would increase.
Last of all, but not the least, remember you are a precious existence, regardless of how you look. Focus on your talent and develop a healthy hobby (sports, writing, just to name a few) and culture your confidence. Many people actually grew out of their skin condition simply because the violent fluctuation of hormone level would finally come to an end when they reach 20 or so.
Buy some Tetradox and Benzamycin for your face. And wash your face with Av茅nne cleaning gel. It will cure your acne problem because I'm using those medicines too. And they're not too expensive, so you can afford it.Take a Tetradox after breakfast and after lunch (with a lot of water), and use Benzamycin every morning. Also, wash your face 2 times a day with Av茅nne ,it will cure your oily skin.Good luck with your acne problem.
apply lemon juice to your face about 5 times a day... in about 3 days you should see and feel a difference.

I have swollen lymph nodes on my face...how long does it take for them to go away?


Answer:
Here's a diagram of where your lymph nodes are located:
http://face-and-emotion.com/dataface/ana...... and, yes, there are some on your face, just below your ear and chin. If they are swollen for the most common reason, infection, they should be gone within a week or so.I have some that never go away and are hard and rubbery feeling. No known cause but they are always there.
There are no lymph nodes ON your face.
I hope whatever you have clears up soon.
Best wishes.

I have sugar everyday, is that bad?

like oatmeal tastes bland with out sugar and like my tea and stuff. is it too much?/? should i always try to use a little bit or try to use none at all?? i have already tried the suger replacements but doctor said that they're unhealthy and plus costly for me !!i just don't want diabeties and stuff
Answer:
Sugar does not, I repeat--does not!, cause diabetes. Genetics and overweight does. Because sugar is a carb, then a diabetic does have to watch how much they eat but they don't have to cut it out of their diet. Go to dlife.com for info. Professionals formed the site, they answer questions and they give true info.
If you don't use a lot of it, and dont have it in a lot of other foods, it won't hurt you.
diabeties runs throu my family but i have sugar everyday...
in my coffee which i have 1 suga..i have around 3cups a day
Well, to stay healthy, you want to avoid TOO much sugar, but also to stay healthy you need to have a reasonable amount of sugar each day. You must watch the sugar counts especially if diabetes runs in your family...
It's really all about balance... just educate yourself about the contents of prepackage foods %26 sugars in juices %26 so forth.
It's better to be PRO-Active rather the Re-Active to problems
caused by unhealthy food. Honestly, the more natural, uncooked foods, the better- the best to keep off the white stuff
sugar, flour, %26 sodiem, and you'll be doing your body good-
or atleast cut way down, use it to lightly season-only!
Maybe spreading out your sugar intake will help your situation. If I'm not mistaken, the problem you want to avoid is forcing your pancreas to produce lots of insulin to balance a high sugar level. If you eventually get pregnant, you will be give a glucose tolerance test and that will provide some information as to how your body handles sugar.
just try less sugar and in the morning if u eat oatmeal try cereal and you can have little sugar in tea but try 2 add lemon 2 it
eating too much sugar does NOT cause diabetes!! eating too much sugar will eventually make ya fat.and one of the main factors in developing TYPE 2 diabetes is being overweight

I have suffered severe bloodloss and my ferritin level is 6,what is normal?

I have a bowel condition which means i have constant bloodloss my ferritin is 6 and hb low what would be normal and what does this mean?
Answer:
i assume you mean its 6 ng/mL correct? okay well the normal for a male is about 12-300 ng/ml and females is about 12-150 ng/ml basically what this an indication of how much iron is stored in your body, it is usually past of an iron blood test workup, the most worrisome issue about low ferritin is that it means you have low iron, which can lead to anemia, for your hb (hemoglobin) being low, hemoglobin is basically just a protein in your blood that carries oxygen, the lower your hemoglobin the less oxygen you body can carry, normal levels of Hb for males are about 14 -17 gm/dL, and 12-15 gm/dL for females, low hemoglobin can also be a sign of anemia, hope that helps, Good luck : D
I think the ferritin levels should be about 12 on average which is classed as 'normal'. Isn't this linked in with iron intake also, so if you take the right medication it should boost it back up again over time.I don't know about the 'fix' for this, I'm just going on what I remember from watching a medial video a while ago!
At a doctors visit they can give you a test to see if your low. I once went to donate blood and was told I couldn't because I only had enough for myself. That had been like 2 days after my period. And I tend to bleed allot. They had done a small strip test with a dot of blood from my finger. I imagine since you are aware of your problem. You must see a doctor from time to time. Talk these worries over with your doctor. Do to your problem I imagine he must have you on some sort of medicine. Drink grape juice daily that is very good to recuperate loss blood. Now that I remember in order to donate I had to be at least a 12. So yes 6 is low.
Ferritin is a form of storage iron
the normal serum level is: 15-200 ng/mL (15-200 mg/L)
so your body does not have enough iron stored to make hemoglobin for red blood cells to transport oxygen
through your bodyThe normal iron content of the body is 3 to 4 grams. It exists in the following forms:Hemoglobin in circulating red cells 鈥?approximately 2 grams
Iron containing proteins, 400 mg
Iron bound to transferrin in plasma 鈥?3 to 7 mg
The remainder is storage iron in the form of ferritin or hemosiderin.Your doctor may have told you to take iron
it is best absorbed with acid substances like orange juice
vitron c is iron with vitamin c (ascorbic acid)iron absorption is blocked by tea or coffee so do not take your iron with these drinkswork with your doctor on this and get better soon
Normal Values of ferritin:
Male: 12-300 ng/mL
Female: 12-150 ng/mL
Note: ng/ml = nanograms per milliliter
The lower the ferritin level, even within the "normal" range, the more likely it is that the patient does not have enough iron.
How to lower/raise: avoid or eat foods rich in iron: eggs, liver, red meat, soy products. Also cook or avoid cooking with a cast iron skillet.

I have sudden onset of visual disturbances?

They last about 6 seconds and there is no blurred vision but eveything is distorted.One episode lasted 13 seconds.I do not have any headaches with it but apart from migraine what could his be.I am waiting for an MRI scan and an appoitment with an opthamologist.Any one else experience this?
Answer:
doc plans mri to see if tumors causin the problems,,,visual disturbance occurs in ms,other motor neuron diseases,diabetes too,askem to draw blood check insulun,antibody content,search for nematodes
Check with your Doctor about Vertigo..
Can be many things. I am sure this is why you have been scheduled for an MRI. It may be your eyes, migraine, allergies, high or low glucose, tension headaches, and of course there are other things some more serious then others such as MS. But do not worry about it. Everything has a treatment and the MRI will help pin point the problem.
your test will; show whats wrong and i suspect nothing serious so dont worry you'll be ok Good Luck
3..could it be a problem with your vision. If you need glasses maybe some sort of eye strain. If not it could be to do with diabetes. Did you ask your doctor what he though it was likely to be or what they are looking for on the MRI maybe if you gave him a call he could help put your mind at rest. Good luck hop[e it turns out not to be anything serious.

I have stretch marks on my stomic, how do i get rid of them?


Answer:
There is a lot of stretch mark treatment available on the market these days. Some treatments are more effective in fading or even eliminating stretch marks, but the success of the treatment depends on a few different things. First of all is the color and age of the stretch marks. If they have faded to a flesh color they are much harder to heal.The cheapest stretch mark treatment available is creams made especially for stretch marks. The most effective creams contain ingredients such as cocoa butter, lanolin and wheat germ oil. These creams actually heal and rebuild the damaged skin. While they may not be able to completely eliminate stretch marks, they may at least make the stretch marks fade to a barely visible scar. If you wish to know more abt getting rid of stretch marks, you can check out this site:
http://stretch-marks.my-fashion-house.co...
electric sander
Nothing will get rid of them, but there are some things you can do to fade them. Strivectin helped me, and Shea butter makes the skin smoother. So one fades and the other smooths. Don't get sucked in at the drugstore either by false claims. I use tan lotion over mine too, the dark color helps conceal
cocoa butter helps. Getting a tan helps more.
They fade but the never go away.

I have strepp throat, what should I do? (Details)?

I heard that takking antibiotics too soon will weaken your immune system, but I also heard that your body can't heal the tonsils by itself.I've had the strepp throat and a fever for about 3-4 days now. The fever has been on and off.Should I take antibiotics?
Answer:
When there is a fever involved, YES you need antibiotics. Also taking motrin will help along with gargling with warm, salt water every half hour or so.
You can drink hot tea with honey in it to soothe the throat also.
Drink plenty of fluids and gargle. By all means, go to the doctor and get on an antibiotic.
Hey just go an take a glass of water pour salt in it and Gargle. PS little bits at a time OK
YES! Otherwise you are contagious. You need to be on anti-biotics for 48 hrs before you are considered not contagious. You will need to get to a dr. asap to get these anti-biotics. I hope you get better soon. Take care.
The way I get rid of mine is, I eat apples and bananas and it goes away in 3 days. It works for me all the time. I haven't had that back for months now. Try it and see what happens. I hope it works for you. Good Luck!
I can't tell you how to get rid of it, but I can tell you what will make you feel better.
Find someone you don't like and give them a big kiss!!
Go to your Dr and let them do a throat culture to find out what antibiotic you require. Being continually exposed to antibiotics can eventually build up a resistance to them but there are so many different kinds out there now. I would not let that stop me from seeking help. I would be more worried about dehydration from days of fever, scarlet fever from letting strep go untreated, and infecting those around me.
If you've had the condition for "3-4 days" you are
defininately a candidate for the proper anti-biotic.
Get a prescription, take the whole prescribed course,
don't quit when you start to feel better.
Salt water gargles sometimes help.
If your trouble is tonsilitis it's a matter for a physician.
Few people know this, but hydrogen peroxide is good for a sore throat. Gargle with it in your throat in the morning and at night. Make sure that you do not swallow it! This may kill enough of the germs in your throat that you can get over it on your own. Orange juice and tea are both known to help your body fight off diseases. Drinking some of this each day would also be a good idea. If you are still very sick after 3 or 4 more days, you should definitely see a doctor. I hope this helps.
Streptococcus infection (strep throat) may eventually "go away". However, you are very likely to be left with cardiac damage (rheumatic fever). You must see a physician for a throat swab, get diagnosed, and take antibiotics. Antibiotics will not weaken your immune system. Antibiotics kill bacteria.
take antibiotics. By the way, the antibiotics are only used to prevent rheumatic fever, which could be fatal, not to cure any bacterial infection.

I have strep throught and I'm almost done with the meds but not helping!?

How long until I can swallow again? Or eat or sleep with out this pain I'm a p*ssy but man it hurts should I go to the doctor its been like 10 days!
Answer:
I would see the doctor again. Also, I would make sure that you finish all of your meds even if it does start to get better at some point because that's the only way. Another possibility is that maybe you contracted another strand of Strep Throat than the one you are treating now. This happened to me. It's like the common cold or the flu, you never get the same strand twice because after getting sick from one strand, you can develop antibodies against it so if you ever get infected by that strand again, you will be able to fight it off. That could be the case that happened to you.
You need to call your doctor and see him again. You should feel much better after a 10 day course of antibiotics. Your doctor might want to retest (another throat culture) and this time run it with sensitivities (what antibiotic will fight it best).
Go back to the DR. very soon. You may have a Strep that is resistant to the antibiotic you are taking.
you should finish your antibiotics completely. call your doctor and set another appointment
You need another course of antibiotics or a different antibiotic. When your throat was swabbed, your physician should have done a C%26S (culture %26 sensitivity) to determine what antibiotics your particular variety of streptococcus is sensitive to. The results of this C%26S determine what antibiotic you get. Please contact your physician; obviously your current course of antibiotics is not working for you.
Yes, you should at least call your doctor. There are 2 possibilities; 1) your strep throat is very severe and a ten day course of antibiotics is not enough. 2) your strep throat has some immunity to the drugs that were prescribed so it's not responding to treatment which means that you might need a different or stronger antibiotic.

I have strep throat and it's sorta difficult to swallow?

it's not cause of pain but its lke my glands are swollen or i have a lot mucus in my throat i've been on antibiotics since sunday
Answer:
My son had strep throat - a lot! five or six times in one year! The only cure was penicillin. One shot and it started to clear up in 24 hours. If you still have swelling, mucus and pain, you did not get penicillin and you will definitely have problems later in life.If you indeed, did have a penicillin shot, then maybe it was misdiagnosed because a throat culture was not taken. If you have glands swelling in your neck, throat and under/behind your ears you may have the mumps! Penicillin will do nothing for them.Go see your doctor again! Something is not right.
Try drinking bottled water.
Take ibuprofen, which will help with the pain and swelling. Gargle with warm salt water about every 4 hours. This will help with the pus/drainage on your tonsils. Keeping the air moist, such as using a cool-water humidifier where you sleep will help.
You may have edema of the throat. This may be addressed by gargling with warm (not hot) salt water. Reason? Chemically, water follows salt. The salt will "draw out" the water and decrease your edema and mucus. As an added bonus, if there are microbes in your throat, they will die without this water. Caution: this won't cure you! Keep taking your antibiotics.
Take Advil for the swelling and try very cold stuff, like popsicles! I get it all the time when I get strep. BTW--is it possible you're allergic to the antibiotic?? An allergic reaction can also cause swelling of the throat and can be deadly!
911! 911! my friend had that s a kid-----------didnt go to doc---------it laid in body for years---------------------you lost her kidneys behind it.

I have strep throat and can't eat anything it burns help please!?

I got a shot from my doctor in the hip so I'm really sore I can swallow my spit now but I can't eat anything it burns I need advice
Answer:
Try cool things--popsicles and ice cream. No nutritional value, but it will feel good on your throat. Besides, you feel crummy; you deserve a little treat! It's only for a day or two, and by then your antibiotic will have kicked in and it won't be such an issue anymore.Also, to keep hydrated, suck on ice cubes/chips. The cold will soothe your tonsils, and you really need to keep your fluids up as much as possible.When your throat starts to feel better, start on some warm things: tea, soup, ramen, etc.Hope you're feeling better soon! Strep sucks! { }
I have strep too! :( I have tried eating top ramen noodle stuff. and drinking Ensure Plus. I know how you feel...
Try something cold, like icecream or a milk shake. Jello is a good thing to eat also. It slides right down. Maybe scrambled eggs, applesauce and how about pudding. Good Luck!
Just fight through it. I had strep about a month ago. in a day or two it should calm down a little. Try to drink lots of water even though it hurts so you wont get dehydrated.
maybe melted ice cream would help. It will still hurt some but not as much and you wont be hungry. Cold drinks-especially water are good too but stay away from citrus and carbonation; it will scratch and hurt worse. Apple juice and the like will work best. Good luck!
Liquid Advil or Ibuprofen. Follw the directions on the bottle. This help releive the pain while the antibiotic is working.
The best thing is numbing medicine. Either cepacol drops or spray or phenol spray. Give the back of your trhoat a good shot of it and it'll get numb enough for you to eat somthing. Don't eat anything to abrasive though, or when it wears off you'll pay the price. Stick to soft stuff like the others gave advice for, applesauce/ice cream etch. Don't overdose on your numbing medicine either...use it as is directed on the bottle.

I have strange symptoms... could it be the flu? Mono?

It started with a bad headache that wouldn't go away for days and then I woke up one morning shivering because I had a really high temperature. This is the third day that I've been having fevers and the weird thing is that they are not stable at all. Once I took my temperature and it lowered .5 points, then I checked it again and it shot back up .4 points within a minute. The highest that I've gotten so far (that I'm aware of) is 102.7~ but it will be high like that sometimes and 98.6 other times.I also have one swollen lymph node (on the right) and the right side of my neck is sore and swollen. I've been sleeping a LOT also, but when I'm awake I get weird energetic surges. I get nauseous at times, but it's very sudden and lastes maybe twenty minutes, and I've vomited once already.
And the temperatures changing so dramatically affect me... one minute I'll be hot and the next I'm freezing. I do have an apetite.
What could this be symptoms of? Suggestions?
Answer:
Influenza is a respiratory disease. You don't mention any respiratory symptoms, so we can rule that out.Swollen lymph nodes indicate infection. Elevated temperature (anything over 101) indicates your body is attempting to combat infection by raising your temperature to kill the microbes.This is not something that can be diagnosed over ByeDr.com. You must be evaluated and diagnosed by a physician. There are many many different things this could be.
doctaa
It's not likely the flu, because you haven't really identified the respiratory symptoms. These include the ones you have listed (headache, fever- sudden onset, lasts 3-4 days, fatigue- may last 3 weeks or more), but there are also general aches and pains, , runny/stuffy nose, sore throat, chest discomfort and coughing, and sometimes sneezing. The symptoms almost always need to have a respiratory component to it.For mono, symptoms typically manifest as fever, painful, productive sore throat, swelling of the lymph nodes, and enlargement of the spleen and liver. It doesn't sound like this is what you are describing either.

I have spots on my tounge and they hurt how do i get rid of them?


Answer:
stop telling lies!!
Caneston cream, you have thrush
Well are they white? Could be thrush... which means yeast infection (from things like HIV).. Or could be not enough water or vitamin c... When I drink too much pop or energy drinks, my tongue gets a sore spot (tiny white dot) which goes away after I drink enough water.
Never,Never give cunnilingus!!
it will be ok after a week...im sure of it i have like that before...
Could be thrush - try Diflucan tablet.
Could be ulcers (more likely actually) - try Bonjela or using a medicated mouthwash like Oraldene.
If they don't clear up within 3 days of using those treatments though - go to the doctor!
It is most likely an inflamed taste bud. You get them when you are eating/drinking too much of one thing for a period of time. I usually get them from drinking too much soda or eating a lot of sweets, so I just stop eating/drinking them until the "tounge pimples" go away after a few days.
see doctor it could be thrush meanwhile eat yoghurt to relieve it and give you some good bacteria back
It could be trush or if they have are red and very sore - maybe they are mouth ulcers.It best to see a GP or better still your denist! Make sure you eat lots of fruit and veg as it good source of vitamins and minerals and drink plenty of water.Also make sure your dental hygeine is up to scratch - buy a new toothbrush and brush your teeth twice a day - sing Happy Birthday to yourself in your head as that is how long you should be brushing your teeth each day. Hope this helps!Lx
they are probably just ulsers and will go naturally give it 5 days try not to eat sweets or crisps or anything to salty or sugary if they do not go after 5 days go to the doctorsto get rid of them quicker go to the chemist and get bonjella or any other ulser rememedy
it sounds like thrush go to the doctor
Are you sure they are not mouth ulcers as they are very sore. get some mouth ulcer gel from your chemist and some antiseptic mouth wash.

I have spinal stenosis lately i have terrible pain in my legs dose anyone know what this could be?


Answer:
Spinal stenosis is described as narrowing of the spinal canal (where spinal cord and nerves go from your brain down).There are many causes for spinal stenosis, the most common cause is degenerative (due to aginig) but it could be congenital, could be due to slipping of one of the vertebrae or disc herniation (slipped disc ).The main symptoms are bilateral (Both legs) leg pain (leg pain is more than back pain), mainly when you walk or stand for a long period of time, the pain usually relieved by sitting down or bending your back.Spinal stenosis causes compression (and stretching) of the nerves going down to your legs, this is why you feel leg pain.You need to have MRI scan to know exactly the cause, the degree and the level of your spinal stenosis.The treatment depends on the degree of stenosis (narrowing), the cause, the level ( whether it is one level or multiple levels ) and the age of the patient.If the degree of narrowing is severe and the patient is active and fit for surgery, the treatement is surgical decompression of the spinal canal ( this entails removing the bony arch at the back of the vertebra to create more room for the nerves and spinal cord ) . If stenosis is affecting more than one vertebra you will need decompression of the vertebrae AND fusion ( the decomressed vertebrae have to be fused or stiffened together using bone graft ).Some minor degree of stenosis might respond to steroid injection in to the spinal canal (epidural injection) followed by physiotherapy.Good Luck
As far as the leg pain, it could be related to your stenosis and /or could be nerve pain or an inflamed sciatic nerve. If you have not yet been evaluated by a neurologist, now may be a good time. My husband also has stenosis of the spine. I don't mean to paint a bleak picture for you, but after trying pain meds (a waste of time - it did not cure/help the pain) lumbar injections, and various forms of physical therapy, my husband finally had to resort to back surgery. So far he has had 2 surgeries (and refuses to have any more) and has been able to get rid of some of the pain. He still has some pain in his back and legs, and his left foot is partially numb. But, at least he is now able to return to work. Before the surgeries, he would have days where his pain was so bad (and he's a pretty tough guy) he literally could not get out of bed and would end up missing work. Best of luck to you - I understand the pain that you are experiencing.
Hi, been down the road you are travelling now.I too have trouble with my back,I suffered with pain in my leg,I was told that I had a herinated disc in lumbar spine.I tried every thing but in the end i required surgery.I had 2 surgerys.I still have no relief Once nerves are damaged I really don't know what to say.The pain in your legs come from your problem in your back.You probably have tingling and numbness as well.If the pain continues,I would return to my doctor,to see if there is anything they can do.They may refer you to a neurosurgeon,or another specialist.I really understand what you are experienceing.Please take care,I wish you well.

I have sore, red dry patches above both of my eyes?

I do wear a bit of eye make-up, and if you think these patches could be an allergy, i have changed the brand so much can anyone suggest a brand of make-up that is gentle? thank you
Answer:
you need eumovate cream from doc put small amount on eyelids before bed every night for a week then just apply once a week before bed this will work. you may be able to get it over the counter , not sure.
stay away from me! yuk!
See,it was OK in the days when it was all tested on animals
Now if you do'nt rub on or around the sore area that is sore alot!?! then it could be the make~up that's irritating the eyes/area!?! it might even be do to dust in certain rooms either in your home,school,work~place!?! Or friends or family members homes that you frequent often !?! Or if you are still using the heating system at home., It might even be some dust that's caught in the ducts or something !?!-7-3-o7- `'R,r`r.r'r,r`.'-
its really good to wear an eye cream. I always use estee lauder, but oil of olay has a good one, as does clinque. Good luck

I have some strange red spots on my arm?

the biggest one is about an inch in diameter, and the smallest is maybe a centimeter. but theres like sx of them and my other arm has two small ones. theyre sort of itchy and it doesnt hurt to scratch them. i didnt have them when i fell asleep last night. what is it? is it contagious?
Answer:
sounds like a spider bite.see a doc/.
could be chicken pox u shoul go to a docter fast
Maybe hives? You would probably get those all over your body, though. If they're not raised, it could be ringworm, which is contagious. I think it's more likely to be hives or an allergic reaction of some sort, though.
i dunno exactly what they are but i think they might me some kind of allergy? lol i thinks its better not to scratch them. i have eczema and scratching makes it bleed, badly.
Actually it sounds like dermatitis which is just an allergic reaction to something. To be safe however go to a dermatologist so they can check you out.Also if they are in clusters it may be a smart idea to hurry up and go to the doctor or else these six spots could turn into more and spread.
Allergy or rashes from heat. I got red spots too, but it's on my face, about 1 cm in diameter. It's heat rashes for me. Better consult your doctor about it.
it could be a number of things
1. chicken pox
2. dengue
3. allergy to sumthingget yourself checkd fast. make sure they do a blood test and white blood cell count

I have some questions?

1.How do I know if I have a tapeworm
2.How do I treat a tapeworm if I have one
3.Can you die from a tapeworm
I have to ask these because I am worried because my dog licked
me on the lips and my science teacher told my class that is one way to get a tapeworm and I don't want one.
Answer:
If you have tapeworms then you can see it in your poop. They're little tiny pin like worms.
You have to go to the doctor for it. I had to once, it's no biggie, they just give you medicine and that kills it.
here is a link about the general info on tapeworms. No you typically dont die from a tapeworm and if you have one, the doctor gives you a pill that kills it.
Stop being so silly! Not very dang likely, is it?

My doctor prescribed these drags ciprofloxacin and cataflam for 10 days yet I am not okey.Iam living in deeveloping country where there is poor medication , what do you think I can do to aviod further continuetion of this proble
Answer:
Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic used to treat or prevent certain infections caused by bacteria. Ciprofloxacin is also used to treat or prevent anthrax in people who may have been exposed to anthrax germs in the air. Ciprofloxacin extended-release (long-acting) tablets are used only to treat certain types of urinary tract infections. Ciprofloxacin is in a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. It works by killing bacteria.
Antibiotics will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections.
Diclofenac is used to relieve pain, tenderness, swelling, and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis (arthritis caused by a breakdown of the lining of the joints), rheumatoid arthritis (arthritis caused by swelling of the lining of the joints), and ankylosing spondylitis (arthritis that mainly affects the spine). Diclofenac immediate-release (short-acting) tablets are also used to treat painful menstrual periods and pain from other causes. Diclofenac is in a class of medications called NSAIDs. It works by stopping the body's production of a substance that causes pain, fever, and inflammation.
Please conduct Urinalysis and Urine culture at a clinical laboratory. Consult an Urologist.
Please see the web pages for more details on Ciprofloxacin and Diclofenac (generic name) Cataflam (brand name)

I have some medical problem??

i have a small problem.. i have pain in my chest(right side nipple)..im guilty to say this to some one also..i do smoke but not a chain smoker i have no probs in my breathing lungs etc,.. but my nipple is just paining if i touch that..my age is 22.or is this any age matural problem??..is there any chances of big dieseases..im so afraid of this plz clear my doubt
Answer:
Hi there
It could be absolutely nothing, but I would go to a doctor and have that checked out. Men do get breast cancer and pain in the nipple is only one sign. I doubt that is it, but better to be safe and find out asap.
You should really see a doctor. My mother had what she thought was just a sore muscle in her abdomen. Turned out to be a tumor from her lung had spread to her intestine. She died six weeks ago. Please, for your own sake see a doctor ASAP. And for Heaven's sake quit smoking already!
Wish you the best.
