go to ur doctor asap. ogini??

You're actually talking to me, yeah?
Thanks for the advice I guess.

I don't think the doctor will help me any more than they already have.

why? lol

i mean go tell them to tape it 4 u if it needs taping. don't do that urself

I'll buy the tape from walgreens and watch one of those do-it-yourself videos on youtube or something.

watch the videos first to know what kind of tape to buy n tape btw the joints

^lol see ur twin

Yeah very funny. Except I'm not pale or white.

Interestingly I've buddy-taped my finger like that before. It wasn't comfortable at all. Restricts so much of the normal, regular movements I would usually do with my fingers. I would do it again. Problem is, I don't feel that it is effective.

The buddy taping would also not work for the ligs torn on my left thumb.


Yeehow it's whateva. I'll leave it like that. Maybe one of these years when I go to Naija I can have it checked out.

ur going to wait for yrs b4 getting it treated? why u don't trust doctors here. better do something abt ur fingers b4 . . .

@C2H5OH
how can you possibly be living with that kind of pain for months. . .its either you're one heck of a strong guy or just plain silly.

Holiday time for me good people. Nigerians as a general rule dont seem to take holidays for some unknown reason. Health advice to all Nairalanders, take a week off at least once every 6 months where all you do is lie by the beach in some hotel and enjoy recreative activities. The life we have is too short to run around non stop.

Hi Doc its been ages


I suffer from killer headaches and it’s so bad I can’t stand light and noise. My TV is turned down all the time, I had to completely reduce the brightness of my PC and TV and it hurts when my phone rings.

I am beginning to think it’s a migraine but I am not too sure. I am practically addicted to pain killers cuz I am popping them all day everyday. Nowadays I squint a lot. Any ideas on how to get rid of this thing, Does being a smoker have anything to do with it?

Loretta, important you relay your problems to our sister thread where Dr Kathy will deal with it expertly. That is the Doctor in the House:ObGyn

Emeritus153, headaches that are sudden or you dont normally get needs proper investigations. As an emergency physician, I always start by doing a CTScan of the head. If that is negative see a neurologist

Kingolaola, as far as dandruff is concerned, proper medicated shampoo usually helps that. High uric acid can lead to uric acid stones in the kidneys. They sometimes don´t show up on xray. You might need a CT KUB. This could also cause gout affecting your joints usually the big toe

Long time NubianQ! Always exclude any other cause for headaches before labelling it migraine. If its something you have always suffered from then see your GP for appropriate medication. Most peoples headaches are from dehydration. We dont drink enough water as a rule

I think thats everybody covered. Back to the swimming pool and my bottle of well earned liquid refreshment

Hello Dr. balogun please I had an accident in 2005 and has been receiving treatment since then. though now better off in terms of pains. But about six month ago I discovered that my urine is foaming I complained to my Dr who ask if the foaming is accompanied with smelling which I said no, which he then said there is no problem. Pls Dr. what causes the foaming, what can do to stop it and is there any danger. please helpppppp

A great thanks to you doctor in the house. We realy welcome you to for your voluntry health advice. keep it up![color=#550000][/color]

Dont seem to understand what you mean by foaming in your urine, vindylomo!!! As your own physician has seen it and not concerned I would probably leave it there.
Doctorfit, thanks for your support

Hi my name is frank i'm based in london and i'm asking this question on behalf of my girlfriends elder sister who are both based in nigeria. She had a fybroid operation in which 31 fybroids were removed from her body 3 weeks ago.
Since then she has not been able to eat properly whatever she eats comes out and theres a lot of gas in her body. So she was put on drip since she can't dijest properly.
Her lower abdomen is always paining her and she's always running temperture and always cold. Her condition is getting worse gradually and we fear the worst.
Since she's in Nigeria and Nigerian Doctors and Hospitals are not Western standards is there anything that these Doctors here are missing that you can let me know?
Your advice would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks.

manmustwac, your girlfriend´s sister needs to see someone competent! Dr Kathy might be able to shed light on to this. There must have been a perforation in the bowel after surgery or she has adhesions following surgery. Needs more investigations

Good Day,

Pls i din't see my period since on the 8th and i did text on 11th ans there is nothin there up till day av not see anything

Are you having unprotected sex Oluwawunmi. If so have you done a pregnancy test. Most of this queries are best referred to Dr Kathy on the ObGyn thread of Doctor in the House

hello doctor please i need ur help seriously

at this junction i feel like killing myself

last year december i notice something like a sore around my genital area

went to see a pharmacy and she prescribe gloxin for me i took it and was ok

just after two weeks this thing came again and the sore was up to 6 in number and was painful if i touch it

i took gloxin[/b] again and it went off

not quite long like a week again this thing came up again then we were in febuary

this thing came re occurring and am getting feed up with my like cos i dont enjoy my genital area anymore and the fear of having another sore again is giving me psycological problem.

LAST WEEK AGAIN THIS THING RESURFACE AND WENT TO SEE THE PHARMACY HE GAVE ME LEVOTIL[b] , AND THIS THING IS HERE AGAIN

HELP ME DOCTOR BEFORE I KILL MY SELF

I WISH TO KNOW WHAT THIS IS

PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

ab1989, I think what you need is a physician to diagnose whatever your problem is. How do you know your blood pressure goes up. Do you check it yourself. See a physician and let them take it from there. There might be a few docs who live and work in Ikeja area. I am based in Scotland so I can´t help you on that
