Hi, Dr. kathyekiti

yemivictor:
What is Hbv please!?

Hepatitis B virus, likely.

Can't be certain when you take an abbreviation out of context.

If you can post the context within which you have this abbreviation, it will make more certain.

Hi. I'm new at myself.

I'll go check your site out. . . .

hello docs,
@ doc balogun, kathy and surgeon;
a lot of questions are still unanswered, could you please read through again and start from titilae's question?
thanks

@gentleone, thanks for the heads-up.

titilaelae:
Doctors in the house, I greet you. Kindly help me with this condition:

About 2 months ago I took a malaria injection and about 10 minutes later I felt a numbness on my thigh which continued the next day. On the 3rd day I went back to the same hospital and the doctor allayed my fears and advised that I apply balm to it that it would go with time. Despite the balm application I could feel only partial sensation on that part of my body and it was quite worrisome. Gradually the numbness gave way and replaced itself with a biting pain that increases by the day. Ive been to 2 other hospitals after my initial experience and I was given Vitamin C, Tramax Capsule, Neurovit Forte, Paracetamol and Balm. I don’t know what to do again and the pain still persists . If I go to another hospital they’ll still give me analgesic! The pain is limited to the thigh muscle/skin, the bone is ok. Isn’t there any test I can do that will reveal the cause of this stubborn ailment? Please note that the injection was administered on my bum, not my thigh. Also, there was no abscess formed and the pain on the injection site did not last more that 2days! In other words, the injection might not be the cause of this ugly condition .
Please help, somebody.

@titlaelae.

I hope you are much less in pain now, seeing that you posted this over 2 weeks ago.

From all your accounts, it's likely you suffered Neuralgia. This is inflammation of a Nerve branch or Nerve bundlle; in your particular case it resulted from the sharp point of the needle traumatizing directly such a nerve/bundle in the buttock, exactly where the needle went in.

Now, you may wonder why you then felt the pain below this point in the thigh region.

Well, remember the nerves of pain are found in areas of the body tissues that can then be traced backwards to the Spinal-cord at the centre, whence it travels up the Spinal-cord to the brain where the stimulus is registered as conscious pain. The fact therefore is that any damage along any point of this Nerve pathway, could then be interpreted by the brain or "felt" as though coming from the source of the nerve ends i.e. the body tissue.

Your damaged Nerve branch/bundle, was actually coming from your thigh tissue area, hence the brain assumed the pain was coming from there.

Time will definitely re-oganise the injury and heal you up. How is the pain today?

@Balogun

Thanks for the warm welcome.Quite appreciate it.

It's great to see colleagues living-up to our avowed oath to render unconditional service when we can and at no loss.

Hippocrates would be proud

I for one have many years in the private hospital experience,and would love to put in some quota in the general medicine advice area,when I can.

Thanks again for the welcome. Cheers!

Short answer: Both you and your wife should go register and consult with a GYNAECOLOGIST and bare in mind that YOU BOTH ARE LIKELY NOT TO HAVE ANY REAL MEDICAL PROBLEM till proven otherwise. NEVER be presumptive and THINK you have a problem all by yourselves,until you have seen the only one who can know - The health expert;the doctor. No one else.

BTW folks,I'm new here! I'm a medical doctor and I'm happy to be here.
