Hello Dr. I am 43 years old.i have been having a running battle with my two thigh.i always feel as if something is holding/pressing down my left and right thigh thereby preventing me to move normally,hence result to limping. i have been facing this challenges for the past 2 months. Anytime i am on bed i always find it difficult to stretch my legs and i will be feeling as if something heavy is deposited in my thigh's feel pain in both thigh when i forced myself to move or even when i sit down for some time. I have done scan/xray@ igbobi in Lagos, when i asked the doctor to interpret the result, he said that i don't have bone issue problem but that the result shows contraction of nerve and could not explain what causes the contraction of nerve. I was given only pain relieving tablet and the doctor reschedule my next visit to December 22,2014.unfortunately the health workers are on strike and efforts to meet the doctor was futile. Before my next appointment date, initially when i used the pain relieving tablets given to me,every thing was normal but relapse again when it remain just few days to complete drug. Please kindly advice since i could not see the doctor up till now |

Any nurse in the house who is willing to make house call daily for a month will be highly appreciated. I stay around Masha Adelabu Surulere Lagos State. |

Damog: Balantitis is inflammation of glans. Depends on what is causing it. Most importantly, rule out STD if you are sexually active. With history of diabetes, you are at risk for infections like candidiasis especially if sugar not under control. You need to go and get a good history and genital exam taken by your doc and a swab/ sample of discharge if any. Also make sure your diabetes is under control. Assuming it is candidasis, you will need Rx for diflucan 150mg x1 dose. Practice good hygiene if you are uncircumcised. |

Mubarak1:. You need good Moisturizer. Like cetaphil, lubriderm but these are US based products not sure of nigerian/african equivalent. I suggest coconut oil for great cheap alternative In addition: stay away from harsh chemicals such as detergents, use mild soap if you must wash hands. Stay hydrated - water not pop or soda beverages |

motemi111: It is called intermittent nocturnal priapism. Is he sickle cell carrier/trait or disease? Anyway! Need to get a urological consultation + or - neurological consultation for history and exam and tests: polysomnography and other tests to test penile functions. If cannot afford those consultations, there are proposed treatments but are not permanent. Such are propanol, amitriptyline, clozapine. Can get prescription from GP for: clozapine 25mg qd is the most effective but carries much side effects; so read the black box warning and side effects of this drug if you choose it. Take care |
Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Nobody: 6:42pm On Jan 28, 2015 |
Wizdray: Hm yea. The penis is not just an appendage, it is an extention of your entire health thus can be an indication of overall heath. It could be circulation, nerve issues or systemic disease like diabetes, vasculitis, STD See your GP first and get a good exam, blood work and imaging. For sure ask your doctor to get testosterone level checked, cbc, ANA, serum glucose, sedimentation rate at minimum blood work. And yes, STD profile if you are sexually active Good luck |

Xiadnat: Thanks for the advice, he has a trait of sickle cell so what treatment do you think he should take. Thank you. |
Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Nobody: 6:50pm On Jan 28, 2015 |
Mubarak1: Congrats. Such a noble profession and a priviledge . I used a number of resources when i was a medical student which was back in 2011 i graduated. MKSAP was and is a great resource to purchase whichever country you are tho i schooled and trained in US. MKSAP is also advanced and you are just starting. If you want text books? Well, thats different story. I know some i can reccomend but for what subjects are you looking for since you are just starting.? Best wishes in your endeavors |
Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Mubarak1(m): 7:21pm On Jan 28, 2015 |
Thank You Doc. am really exulted the recommended subjects are Biology Chemistry Physics and Mathematics, Thanks once again |

Xiadnat:Thank you doc. |
Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Nobody: 11:38pm On Jan 28, 2015 |
Mubarak1: Ok. Will work on looking up those texts but just out of curiosity: Do the proffessors/faculties for these courses not reccomend texts for you to get? Why not ask your professors what you should be studying since they would be making up the exam?, would they not. Forgive me but i do not know the education/ school system in nigeria. Are you studying independently? Best |
Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Nobody: 11:52pm On Jan 28, 2015 |
motemi111: Since he has sickle cell trait, should probably avoid clozapine then. It gets a bit hairy when you have sickel cell. First thing is to manage the sickle cell because that is cause in most cases really. Options: nonsurgical approach with penile injections or surgical approach. But! First: Visit your GP. Need to check his hemoglobin. He may have significant anemia that is triggering this. If he is anemic, first thing would be transfusion. Just need to make sure he is SS trait and not the disease. It makes a huge difference in the management. In the mean time, Keep hydrated- drink lots of water. Take analgesic if you need it. Stop drinking alcholic beverage and stop smoking cigs, MJ, cocaine etc if he does. Act tho: long term complication is impotence. Let me know how it goes. |

Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Nobody: 3:01pm On Feb 01, 2015 |
Mubarak1: Here are the resources that you asked for. Few things: It's called MIT open courseware. It is from Massachusetts Institute for Technology- a really ivy league reputable school based in U.S. So, it's highly credible information. It is free online courses. The courses are organized by topics. Just choose the topics you desire, and navigate the website to find what you are looking for. The courses are meant to simulate real time classes. So, they are well organized into: syllabus, readings, assignments, lecture videos with transcripts/handouts that you can follow, study groups, online recommended texts that you can purchase on amazon.com if you want. You will need: access to high speed internet, a compatible Microsoft word, and video/media player. Here is the website address: http://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm.--> is the main site. Just click on the courses and then navigate the site to find what you want. Let me know if any issues. I have some other online courses you can try out if MIT does not pan out. But, I chose it because it's from a reputable university. It's like first grade learning really. Best, Dr.XA. |
