No fever, Not sexually active, It does not hurt when I urinate, do have back pain if I have to urinate and I don't do it quickly

It May be kidney infection or bladder infection. Go and get a urine analysis first. You may require antibiotics and your doctor should Rx that for you. If it is kidney stones, well, it should pass after some time with adequate hydration. If the pain becomes unbearable, then consider going to a hospital for further management cause it means either it is something else or the stone is not passing.

Good luck.

Dear Dr,
Thank you for your prompt reply.
As regards my BP, this has been within the range of 174/105(highest ever experienced) 17th June 2015, down to the 143/83(lowest ever experienced) as @ 22nd June,2015 but it has ever since going up and down within the above range till date. So I'm considering another medication or any combination of it if needed. How do I send you a private message? Thanks.



Sure, you can try combination. But, your BP isn't really that high for combination treatment at the moment. Try single therapy first. You may just need to switch to another class of anti hypertensive before. I can make suggestions, but PM if you like.

To PM, go to profile, there should a button there that says email this person...then click it and rest is self-explanatory.

Good luck

How do you know it's a slipped disk. Did you fall prior to this incident or? How old are you? What is your health condition? How is the pain affecting your right leg? Is it shooting pain down the right leg? Any numbness or tingling? Does it affect your bowel or bladder movement?

It sounds unlikely that you slipped a disk. If you think you slipped a disk, you would need an imaging to confirm that and evaluation from a spine doctor as well as pain control management.

Let us hope not, especially if you are young and active person.

Good luck

What kind of tests did have they run? What have they said so far at all that is the issue?

I don't know how I can help you w/o full history and physical exam. You need thorough assessment that is difficult to do online.

You can tell me a little about yourself in general: general health history, medications, your signs/symptoms.

Hang in there

Hello Doctor

I appreciate your responses. Let me know the implications of exposure to hepatitis B as u said. What should I do to be safe from liver problem especially now that I'm nursing high bp? I need ur comprehensive guide. Your advice please.

My doctor may not have revealed everything!
Awaiting your response.
Best regard

Most BP drugs are relatively safe for the liver unless you have severe liver failure. However, to determine that you need complete profile of liver function and hepatitis panel.

Now, you will have to PM for more on the hepatitis info because I tried giving you detail info and I got banned by their auto bot thingy and I don't see the post restored. It is quite annoying actually.

But, hepatitis is a blood borne pathogen so exercise precautions by wearing gloves and condoms to diminish possible exposures.

It's usually viral. Will just have to let it pass on its own. Its highly contagious so keep contact to your eyes and means of spreading minimal.

IT will detect there is an infection in the urinary tract, it usually starts in the urethra, ascends to bladder then eventually may make its way to kidney.

So, it's a urine analysis is an indirect way to detect kidney infection. But, to confirm it, you need an imagining which will be expensive, so I recommend treating empirically for possible kidney infection. See a doctor tho.

Something moving inside your neck? The only thing I can think of is parasites. But, not normal to climb up that high.

Do you use recreational drugs?? Can be side effect, a crawly feeling. No offense intended.

Any other symptoms, signs that you are experiencing?

Nerve impingement, sciatica. When you raise your leg, do you feel pain shooting down the affected leg?

Management is pain control. I am not familiar with the meds you listed, but I imagine it's narcs or some heavy pain control, if so, go ahead and take them. But, only for control of unbearable pain and for short term.

You need physical therapy exercises for better long term management. Short bed rest, but get moving.

Dear Doctor,please your help/suggestion is needed.My husband is azoospermic and the most recent test he did (Biopsy) shows he has severe testicular atrophy(shrinking testis).No cell was found.Any treatment to reverse the testis to normal and to make it produce sperm cells pleaseeeee?
Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by great664(m): 10:45am On Jul 09, 2015

OK. You likely have inflammation of the eye. You probably should not have self treated as you may have introduced some chemicals in your eye that has irritated your eyes.

There is a condition called uveitis. Treatment involves steroid, generally recommended after an evaluation from ophthalmologist.

Good luck.
Thank You for the good work

Just as you stated, it was cause by me self treating and now develop" Scar" as the Ophthalmologist said and need to be removed.

The scar was removed on Tuesday and am now applying chloramphenicol Eye ointment and Ciflaxin till it heal
s properly

Loosed today, though the blur vision. is still there but the sensitiveness to sun and light is no more. Hopefully when its totally heal the blur will disappear too.

is there anything I should avoid doing with the eye for now till it heals properly. like direct light, phones TV's, soap etc just anything.

I am not sure how much it costs in Nigerian, but I imagine it can't be cheap unless you have insurance coverage. Plus, it's not really very cost effective.

Honestly, you are better off seeing a doctor regarding urine analysis, then consider getting treated empirically for UTI if not urinary stones.

Good luck

I don't know of any permanent solution since this is a form of hyperactive immune system.

You can look into immune modulator drugs that target your active immune cells directs; but they tend to be on the expensive side.

Best.

I am not quite sure of what this may be w/o physical exam. Perhaps a lipoma....If this mass isn't causing you any harm, it is best to leave it be. If for aesthetic reasons, then consult with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon or general surgeon for surgical removal.

What was the cause of atrophy? It can be reversed depending on the cause. Is he on testosterone or special medications? Or undergone radiation or?

There is H.cG injection which can be expensive. Consult a urologist tho

Ok. Thanks for update. That sounds good. You most likely had uveitis to begin with then complicated it with self treatment; which resulted in a lot inflammation leading to scarring.

Best of luck. Adequate eyesight is important.
