Hi doctor, me and my boyfriend have been trying for a baby for nearly 1 yr now. Today I've noticed when I got out the bath that the end of my nipples were white ? This made me think I was pregnant, i have a 3 yr old so i know what to expect. my boobs were killing me 2 weeks ago but a test was negative. Today I went and bought another test it is still negative, I'm confused ? My left nipple is now leaking clear liquid why is this? Could I be pregnant?

Hi there,I ran a 1/2 marathon today. I use to run in college and would call myself a recreational runner now, however, I forget that I'm not 20 something anymore. I ran the race this morning with very little mileage and training put in beforehand. I have back pain and a bruise forming at the side of my spine. Should I be alarmed? Why did this happen?

I was hospitalized with chest pain and pneumonia with a quarter size lesion on my right lung. First a bronchoscopy was performed and I was told my lung was too inflamed to take a biopsy. 2 days later a needle biopsy was performed, but I still do not understand the results. I am still having chest pain and don t follow up with my pulmonary doc for weeks. I m hoping someone can help me better understand the findings which I have copied and are as follows: Sections show an acute lung injury pattern with reactive type 2 cells. They are associated with acute and chronic inflammatory cells infiltrating including some eosinophils, and as well as neutrophils, some of which are in alveolar walls and raise the possibility of so-called capillaritis. In addition, there is some airspace fibrin and very focal organizing pneumonia(it is thought to be the dominant pattern). It is hard to know what these findings might mean. I think infection is certainly a differential. I did note that the BAL also grew candida, and although this really does look very much like Candida pneumonia, I would still do at least a GMS stain on the tissue. The differential also includes aspiration, although I do not see definitive foreign material. The presence of an acute lung injury pattern with areas suspicious for capillaritis, also raises the possibility of this to be a manifestation of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (wegener s granulomatosis), or at least likely another vasculitic process. A GMS stain is performed and demonstrates no fungul or yeast like organisms. I am undergoing further blood tests and follow up with my pulmonary doc in a few weeks. I really am desperate to better understand these results.

My 64 year old sister 'bashed' her shin against a rock while hiking. The was a very obvious dent in her shin (approx. 1X2 inches). The skin was broken in two parallel lines which would have bled freely, but she applied pressure to the area, and the blood dried. She applied ice to the area as soon as we got back to our residence.... about 20 minutes after it happened. About 2 hours later, she thought she'd clean it up with some water... The result was a large 1X2 inch goose egg on her shin. We've elevated it above her heart and put more ice on it. She says she has no pain or tenderness at the site. Would you recommend she see it by a physician?Thanks,Family in Fairmont Hot Springs

Hello, Two weeks ago I missed a step while going down the stairs and fell very hard on my bum, I fell so hard I thought I had broken my hip bone. The second day after my fall I noticed a VERY big deep purple bruise in my left cheek, with a dent (looks like a horizontal dimple) I did not think much of it since I thought it was part of the healing process, today, two weeks after the incident, the bruise is still visible and almost gone but the dent is still visible and visible through my pants.. I ve done some research and found out that this may not heal because it could be fat cell destruction and need fat injection or fat grafting. To be honest i am very concerned about this and now very self conscious, I will be seeing my family doctor in about two weeks but i would like some type of explaination or solution to this please and thank you

My son is 24.. has myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and autism...though considered high functioning. Lots of issues... Right now, he had an upper endoscopy in April and found he has the disease where the esophagus reacts to food like it is allergic, so he is on spray steriod of a type twice a day. He has swallowing issues and parallel to that, twice in the last four years he has suddenly dropped weight... 40 pounds in three months, changing nothing about how how he eats, which is a lot. Now he is in his third bout and I see his appetite increasing. Plan to weigh him tomorrow and see if loss part has mysteriously stopped as it mysteriously started...and now, third time, he has been losing but has a big appetite. . He is 5 10 and was 225, now 194 with NOTHING changing about his eating. So yeah, thinking dumping as I know the whole swallowing to rectum can be effected by DM1. With the added autism, the habits are hard to change. I don t know whether to keep watching what he eats and he sneaks to fillin what I don t know... or call the family Dr. We moved two years ago from all the Drs he had been seeing and only has a family doctor here and one for sleep studies and now a GI we saw once. He has extreme hypopnea and central apnea. He has tourrettes and yes, hands and feet effected by myotonia...and calves, abdomen, face, tongue, eyelids. Not sure if the fp takes this serious and wish we had a neurologist who specializes in DM1. Onset of symptoms are debatable. I adopted him at 2 and a half. His feet needed arches and he had ear infections often. So congenital form? not sure. Learning issues, language issues, tics, hands began to hurt. By 11, more physical symptoms showed up. Took until 16 to get diagnosis. He has cognitively slowly changed and physically the same. I dont know what to do about the eating and who to see? What if he is still losing? His comprehension is changing and he is hard to understand many times, most times when he talks. I feel I can t just let him eat and eat and eat...but if he is losing.... I don t know.

Hi Doctor, I m a 36 years old male and my wife is 32 years old. We are going through IVF treatment and this is our 2nd cycle. She had her transfer 2 weeks back and yesterday went for the pregnancy test and came out positive but today she had an appointment with her doctor and she was saying the number 16 she had was low for an IVF treatment where it should be above 100. She s saying that the semen sample I gave was stinky. I ve some questions regarding this matter. 1) Does semen being stinky affect the fertilization? 2) They retrieved 8 eggs from my wife and with my stinky semen produced 5 good embryos (3 with 8 cells and 2 with 7 cells). Since 5 embryos were produced it seems the stinkyness of the semen has no effect? 3) They wash the semen and said the movement of sperms were good before doing the fertilization so I don t understand that now they say everything else was good both partners weren t sick during the transfer and all went well except the semen sample I gave was stinky. I don t believe their reasonning and let me to think that they are looking for excuses. 4) Just up to 3 days before producing my semen sample, due to a dental treatment I was taking an antibiotic capsule for 7 days and I m wondering that was the only difference compare to previous sampling. Just couple of months before the treatment started I gave a sample for analysis and told all good and I didn t drink coffee or anything that would affect the semen for a month until the transfer is over. So wonder if this could be the reason and if so again does that has a real effect on getting pregnant after the sample produced good 5 embryos? I would appreciate some inside into it and if this cycle isn t successful, I would be even more careful and what should I do to be better prepare for the next cycle in food and health? thanks, Bala

Hello. This is in regards to the CPAP machine that I have been using faithfully for at least 3 years. My question is can it cause dizziness, some breathlessness and mild palpitations. Recently I had a nuclear stress test after experiencing dizziness and some palpitations while walking outdoors. The test revealed unequivocally that there was narrowing in one of the veins. That I may have small vessel disease. My heart doctor one of the best if not the best in the state disagreed with these findings.

I am a 57 year old female. In pretty good shape, exercise three times a week in a gym, golf twice a week, walk, etc. approximately six months ago, i noticed my lower back pops, quite easily. Every night as i stretch out in bed, i pop my back , seems to relieve pressure. This lower back popping seems to be happening more frequently through out the day. I can easily pop my back by stretching either standing or laying on floor. I do feel relief and do not have major back pain, it is a very low grade pain, maybe a two on a scale of one to ten. It just seems to need popping more and more frequently and is quite easy to do myself. Even sitting on the couch with very slight movements. Could this be a symptom of something serious?

Hello Dr. Samuel, I am typing on behalf of my girlfriend. She has just been exercising, doing some kickboxing. She has had some problems with her back pain for a while now. She has been taking Diclofenac and Naproxen as anti inflammatories to assist with inflammation of the tissue around her back. Only just tonight, after exercising she has had some small red dots that are upon the tips of the vertebrae of her spin. After her exercise class, the dots where raised. However, these 2mm dots are flat to the skin surface now. She has no pain and thought that her back was feeling better. However, these dots have just suddenly appeared and are quite disturbing to see. Is this something that we should be worrying about? Best regards, Stev

I am a 40 year old female who has recently been diagnosed with PVC s. I had a 24 hour Holter monitor that showed 10,000 PVC s in that time period. The PVC s go away with exercise. I had become an avid long distance runner and lost 20 pounds in the past two years. I have run 2 half marathon races and was logging about 20 miles a week. I would push myself sprinting at the end going full force. My doctor has prescribed a Beta Blocker to see if the PVC s will lessen. He said I would be a good candidate for ablation if the Beta Blockers don t work. I am not running much now because I ve injured my knee, but I still run some and attend Boot Camp type classes at the gym. Did my running cause the PVC s? Is there anything natural I can take or a special diet I can follow to make them go away? Thank you so much for your advice!

There are times when my legs, one or the other will go into a spasm which is so painful I have trouble standing on it. I can only compare it to a petrified log as it becomes hard to the touch. It usually happens when waking and stretching or when my feet get cold. My mother suffered with the same problem and it was never diagnosed. I have quit going to swimming exercise because of this problem. It usually takes 5 to 10 min before it calms down but up to that time the pain is excrutiating.

I had a root canal done 2 years ago. Crown was ordered, but right before I was going to get the crown, I lost my health/dental insurance, so I didn't return to the dentist. On three separate occasions since then, a small portion of the tooth has broken off and come out. Now, half of the tooth is left and in the last 3 weeks, I have a painful lump on the gum below. It has pus in it, so I know it's infected. The leftover tooth moves a little, but isn't loose enough to pull out. I've taken a needle (lit with a lighter and dipped in alcohol) and drained the lump twice myself. I CANNOT go to a dentist. I have no insurance and am currently laid off. I'm lucky to be able to eat and have gas to get to job interviews literally, so please do not tell me I must go to a dentist or doctor. I simply can't. I have no choice but to self-treat. I need to know if I should continue to drain the lump (will it eventually go away?), or do I need to go one step further and pull the tooth? I'm thinking pulling it will get rid of the infection, but it will hurt like hell obviously so I'm not looking forward to that option. In the meantime, I'm using anti-bacterial mouthwash 2-3x a day and brushing/flossing very well 2-3x a day. Thank you in advance. Samantha
