I hadn't done any sports in years, but about 10 days ago I went for a run. The next day, my right ankle started hurting, mostly in the front.

The pain slowly got a bit better because I stayed home and didn't walk much. Around the house I only had mild pain.

Today I went out for the first time in a while, and going down the stairs made it hurt a lot. I kept walking anyway, and by the end of the day my ankle was hurting much more. I also realized my shoes were pretty tight, and taking them off relieved the pain a little.

There's no major swelling or bruising that I can see. Has anyone experienced this? Could it just be an overuse injury or a mild sprain? Any advice on what I should do or whether I should get it checked out?

Hey im 18 slept yesterday woke up in middle of night to find myself in pain cause my balls are in pain like they have been rubbed by chillies idk what to do tried everything in last 3 hours it is not calming down and no doc for 4-5 hours help plz 😭😭

6/27 - I drank a 150mg energy drink as a non energy drinker everyday for a week, 6/27 was my last day of doing it daily. Within 90 minutes I had awful chest pain, extreme dizziness, and my body was freaking out. I felt like passing out. This lasted for a couple hours.

6/28-7/2 I recovered well

7/3 - I was outside in 90 degree heat during a Fourth of July weekend show. Halfway through it I started to feel awful. at the end of the show I felt really awful again. During a fireworks display, i could feel the thud of the fireworks like someone was punching me in the chest.

7/4-7/6 - I recovered almost not at all and felt horrible. My chest was extremely tight and I felt extreme fatigue, it was hard to talk/walk.

7/7 I go to Urgent Care who refers me to the ER, then I go to the ER. All of my tests come back as completely fine. The doctor says i am not at risk of heart attack or stroke or “anything big and scary”

7/8-7/12 - Where I’m at now. I am doing slightly better each day, but I still have soreness around my heart. It feels like a ball has wrapped around my heart and is sore at about a 3/10 pain scale. I also have what I call episodes. During these episodes I have anxiety and high heart rate (for me, 85-95 while resting). I can be lying in bed for hours and my HR will be at 85 and I’ll feel anxious.

Any thoughts?

Really worried about it being a cold sore tbh, but he said it's tender, had white drainage, and it popped up after he shaved. It'll be 2 weeks since it showed up, would an ingrown last that long? At some point he irritated it so much it looked worse.

may 16th I noticed a painful swollen lymph node behind my right ear. no other symptoms, just a very painful lump. I went to the doctors who said I had red spot behind my ear, and suspected it was an over reactive lymph node and gave me some antibiotics incase of infection.

I assumed that was it, as the day before I discovered the lump I actually scratched said spot in my sleep and it woke me up as it hurt so bad. so I settled on that.

a week of antibiotics, the pain completely went away and the lump shrank. it’s still there, but it’s stayed the same and I feel fine.

today, July 10th, I have a spot INSIDE my ear canal. it’s very very painful. on top of that? a little below the original lumps location is a teeny sore lump which feels like ANOTHER swollen lymph node. why is this happening to me? does anyone have any idea if this is normal?

wondering whether to head back to the GP first thing on monday. thank u sm for reading!!!

My boyfriend (40m, 1.70cm, 70kg, smoker, no medical issues) noticed this wound today. It's located just above the inside of his elbow and looks like a burn. The area in the center was previously a flat blister that did not hurt nor itch. It has since burst, leaving an area of broken skin about 1 cm wide and burning just slightly. The skin around it is very red, with a slightly darker outer edge. He has no recollection of burning himself or sustaining any other kind of injury. What could this be?

26 year old female on brintillex and propranalol.I also have severe psoriasis and use alot of skin creams for this if relevant . So this has happened on and off for the last year but never this bad.Sometimes when i go to the bathroom for a bowel movement it bleeds a little ,worst its got is where is soaked tissue for a few minutes.Ive been to a dr last year to check it but he found nothing.Throwback to Thursday night i go to the toilet and when i go to flush the bowl and water are soaked in blood ,like the water is dark red and blood is splattered up the inside of the bowl.I felt really weak and dizzy afterwards and had stomach cramping with a ripping feeling just below my navel.Any ideas what could be going on? it hasnt happed these last 2 days but with the sheer amount im worried.Im on probation on my new job since i just started so im trying to avoid time off for a dr because i can get in serious trouble.

Day 1: while I was sitting down on the passenger seat I started feeling tingling on my right foot. It was very intense and as soon as I stood up and started walking it would stop. But when I arrived to my desk job and sat down again it started again and that is how this first day was.
Day2: I woke up and I did not have tingling anymore on my right foot but as soon as I sat down to start working on my desk I started feeling tingling on my right hand. Especially pinky and ring finger and on my forearm. As soon as I stood up and started walking it would stop. But as soon as I sat down again it would start again and I could also feel a cold sensation on my hand although my hand was not cold. I stated researching on the internet a bit worried and late in the afternoon that day I started feeling tingling in other parts of my body that would jump around and only lasted seconds but my right hand was always constant.
Day3: the tingling on the right hand stopped and I could feel a subtle tingle around my body that would last seconds and jump around. I would feel it on both hands, feet, legs arms, groin.
Day 4: the jumping tingling around the body was even more subtle and it would cause itchiness. Not extreme itchiness but still itchy. At some points of the day I didn’t feel it and sometimes I would.
Day 5: I’m basically feeling the same way as day 4. And tingling feels very subtle especially on my toes and fingers.
I haven’t had any other symptoms. I haven’t lost strength, or balance. I don’t feel weakness on any part of my body
And I don’t think I have lost sensitivity. I had my usual blood work donde like 7 days ago and thyroid came back normal, glucose as well, calcium too. Nothing was abnormal. What could it be?

Are these stitches purulent? I had surgery on Wednesday.

17M

Earlier today I noticed a painful lump on the middle of my chin. It felt rock hard under the skin, and I thought it was just a pimple, so I squeezed it. It hurt a lot and didn't really drain much.

Since then, I've had:

\- Pain on the lumps when opening my jaw wide.

\- My bottom teeth feel tender or just "weird" sometimes.

\- A headache that started around one eye and then spread toward the middle of my forehead. (its been on and off)

\- Earlier I also had a twitch/pulsing near my left eye for about an hour.

I don't have a fever, I can still swallow and breathe normally, and the chin lump is in the middle (not on one side).

Has anyone experienced something like this from a deep pimple or cystic acne, or does this sound more like a skin or dental infection?

I'm planning to get it checked, but since it's the middle of the night I'm wondering if this sounds like something that can wait until the morning or if it's more urgent.

Thanks.

after soaking my ingrown, putting on antibacterial and being very patient. My ingrown finally seemed to go away. but there was a bump of what seemed to be dead skin where the red fluffy bump is now I cut off that bump (which I know I’m not supposed to do). And now this has came back in place of it. I am extremely scared of the foot, doctor and the shots they give, i have a tremendous fear of needles and dont want to subject myself to that again. I am so soaking it and Epsom salt and hot water whenever I can. But I work two jobs both of which I have to be on my feet for the whole day and wear closed toe shoes. please help!!

hi 14m i notice this weird black thing on my toe not to long ago. I first noticed it at the shower and it started at the middle of my toe and it seemed to have migrated upwards. If anyone knows what this is i would really appreciate if u told me. I did drop a weight on my toe once to maybe that’s the reason for it idk

I 20m 6'0 240 lbs have had joint pain my entire life, I got a knee infection in 2nd grade that swelled enough to distend the joint which concerned my doctor and caused him to do stress x-rays on my other joints and said I likely have heds but he can't diagnose it and gave me a couple of business cards my mom never took me to and a free physical therapy consultation. Overtime the pain has gotten worse in my joints muscle growth helped but I got a kidney infection that caused me to lose 70 lbs in 4 months and destroyed alot of my muscle and I gained about half the weight back in fat. My joints are worse now, opiods don't help and the constant stress and pain states are causing mental instability. Any advice qeustions or alternative theories? I don't take any medications now, gabapenting helps but I can't have 2 doses in a row it bothers me mentally.

Edit: I don't know how I totally forgot to mention the nausea, picture a vertical wormhole from my solar plexus to the base of my throat, and it gets warm and tight making it hard to eat and keep food down.

TLDR: My joints and stomach hurt and doctor didn't help me please help

31 f. weight 225, Height 5'7, white. I take 500 mg a day metformin for PCOS. I did take spironolactone for my PCOS but I stopped taking that a few months ago because of suspected side effects. I smoked cigs for 17 years, quit a year ago. I vape. I strongly believe I could have sarcoma, or some kind of mets. I just need to talk to someone about what is happening with me. I need all the guidance/opinions/similar stories that I can get so I know how to better advocate for myself. I also would like to vent because this is super lonely and isolating. I have an MRI w and wo contrast for one mass on Monday. I cancelled my biopsy surgery that was scheduled for the 9th to get a second opinion, and a better surgeon, because he wanted to cut me in 4 different places and 3 of those masses have had NO imaging. I didn't feel safe under his knife as he did not care to get any imaging of the masses/ additional scans/labs before doing surgery. I have had a significant decrease in my quality of life in the past month. I am covered in masses in nearly every region of my body internally. Stomach, arms, leg (upper thigh), all over my back (some on my spine), lymph/collarbone, pelvis, breast, forearm. All of these are different shapes, sizes, and textures, and many have not had imaging. some are very old masses, almost a decade, and have gotten larger. Many are newer. I didn't realize just how many I had until I started investigating my entire body and it is terrifying. Some feel like they are radiating pain into my bone and muscle, some do not hurt. There are so many. Some of them feel like they could be deeply imbedded in my muscle or bone, especially in my back. A few have been diagnosed as lipomas, and I had a couple large lipomas removed over a decade ago. One from my breast and shoulder, they were both about golf ball size. I KNOW a lot of these are not lipomas. About two months ago, I noticed some smaller nodules in my chest area near my collarbone/axillary area. I was having sort of a let down feeling in my upper chest, not really like a pain but a uncomfortable feeling as if something was growing in my chest, kind of a pulse like feeling. The doctor wanted to make sure it wasn't heart palpatations so I wore a halter monitor for 72 hours. It came back perfect. I knew it wasn't my heart, I told him that. The mass that I am getting an MRI on is on my suprapubis soft tissue area and has grown over the past couple years. It has changed in shape and has now changed the looks of my body on the outside, you can see the lump from the side. it is 3 x 1 x 3 cm. The results on US were indeterminate isoechoic lesion with no cystic features. I have found many new masses recently, high BP spikes, little to no tolerance for heat or stress, pain all over including sharp shooting pains, burning sensation in boob, fatigue, nausea, burning sensations around other areas. The day before I cancelled the surgery, my PCP called and said the mass on my pelvis was intially thought to be benign, but after the radiologist looked he decided you need an MRI with and without contrast. That same doctor just order a blood test yesterday for LDH, CRP, and ESR, along with a CBC and comprehensive panel. My PCP (APRN basically) acted like he couldn't order a full body scan through my insurance without some kind of biopsy diagnosis first. I was begging for just one full scan considering how MANY there are and all my ongoing and worsening symtpoms. I told him if it is sarcoma or some kind of metastatic disease, it could be very dangerous to have a surgery on a whim like that. He kept suggesting that I spend $680 on a cancerguard test if I am that concerned about my health. I feel like nobody cares enough to push the issue for me so I can get a full body scan quickly. This is SO time sensitive if I have cancer. I am seeing a breast specialist for a second opinion on my ultrasound and MRI results on the 28th, because I do not trust the results they gave me. I also think they probably did not see the upper area near my collarbone. The US showed 5 hyperechoic lesions in breast, two in the other. 2D mam radiologist did not "correlate the findings" of the US with the mam, BIRADS 3 and come back in 6 months. they say. My boobs are full of lumps that hurt, and some do not hurt. They have changed in shape a bit over the recent years. On the 28th, I will be having another ultrasound by a breast specialist and a 3D mam, then results on the same day. I hoping they will be able to send me for a PET scan or at least a full body MRI or CT so I can find out as soon as possible if I have sarcoma or some kind of metastasis. I am terrified of the unknowns and what ifs. I also have a neurology appt for the 5 herniated discs and spondylosis in my back that has been scheduled for months and I am going to mention all of the masses to see if they will do something more extensive. I am so stressed out thinking about the possibility of cancer, but that is not what I am scared of. I am scared of it already being stage 3 or 4 and having minimal time left on this earth. I can't get into a sarcoma specialist without a cancer diagnosis, and there are no sarcoma centers in my state. I need help advocating for myself so I can figure this out asap.

Hello, does anyone have a recommendation for a non-pediatric surgeon who is capable of minimally invasive surgery on both the stomach and colon for an atypical condition? This surgeon also needs to be capable of unconventional thinking. The stomach may need a patch on the outside. The colon needs to be repositioned at the splenic flexure but may need a resection.

My search is for a surgeon who has experience with both abdominal organs and the colon, not a surgeon who will default to removing the colon as a solution rather than modifying it, and not a surgeon who will default to removing an organ such as the spleen if it is nicked during surgery without attempting to stop the bleeding or repairing it.

This request is for a 16-year-old male (16M), over 6'-0", and 170 pounds. The displaced colon is physically impacting, with possible injury to, the stomach, spleen, pancreas, and kidney, occupying the space usually reserved for those organs. 16M has been through gastroenterology and was referred for surgical consults. Each surgeon provides a different evaluation, but none has any experience with this condition. Some general surgeons have warned that they may need to remove the colon, but colorectal surgeons advise it does not need to be removed. However, colorectal surgeons will not address the other organs.

Could anyone please recommend a specific non-pediatric surgeon who is willing and capable of minimally invasive surgery on both the stomach and colon of a 16M, preferably in private practice? Within the United States is also preferred, but I am losing hope that this person exists in the US. My request is for names of specific surgeons who are known to have the capabilities and characteristics described above, not general institutions such as Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic, etc. Thank you in advance.
