Avatar m tn He then took a screening CT in the lab and gave the report as Chronic appendicitis with 7mm thickness. Ficolith inside the appendicitis and advised to remove it whenever you feel free but not an emergency. The Gastroenterologist was not convinced and he asked me to take a Contrast enhanced CT. But the local doctor said it is not necessary and i don't have any acute episode and there is no such Chronic appendicitis.
Avatar f tn Play around as time and inclination permits (LED alone, ultrasound alone, both treatments on just one area of the face). Three times a week is optimal. It can be used on hands, neck (LED and ultrasonic are safe for use on the neck providing that you don't have an over-active thyroid) and décolleté as well." Excerpt from "Ultra Renew combines ultrasonic with LED for skin lifting and firming" - Truth In Aging website.
Avatar n tn Making the correct diagnosis requires a combination of clinical history and physical examination, as well as laboratory and imaging tests. If your symptoms have not resolved by now, you should seek prompt medical attention, as some of these conditions can be potentially serious.
Avatar m tn One thing that I will like to say is that sometimes diagnosis of appendicitis is tough because of the position of the appendix and other conditions which may mimic appendicitis like Meckel’s diverticulitis,inflammatory bowel disease and kidney diseases. Moreover,other conditions which I have mentioned like irritable bowel syndrome,inflammatory bowel disease(Crohn’s disease) and kidney diseases also have to be excluded.

5485096 tn?1375574235 I thought on the cspine you would want to see lesions in the spinal column /nerves to support an ms diagnosis. I just received my cspine results and I have hyperintensities (lesions) on C1 and C5 -- but because they are on the bone they are presumed to be hemangiomas (according to the radioligist). Supposedly I have nothing ms-y in my cspine results. I have one more doctor's appointment, then I'm done. Seriously. I'm tired of this.
Avatar f tn This possibility is rare as pain of appendicitis is severe and is associated with vomitings and fever. Fourthly, Crohn’s disease can be the cause of this pain. Crohn's disease most commonly affects the last part of the small intestine, usually located in the right lower abdomen. Diagnosed by barium enemas and colonoscopy. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar f tn You should see your doctor, as proper diagnosis depends upon clinical history, physical examination, and laboratory and/or imaging tests.

Avatar f tn My former husband and daughter returned from a trip to Japan a week ago today. The ex started having abdominal pains, which he described as cramplike in nature, the night of their return to the States. It was episodic, not constant, and moving around seemed to provide a little relief. He ignored it until Sunday morning 1:00 a.m. when the pain became too severe and went to the ER for assistance. He was given an antispasmodic and pain medication. It was not appendicitis, of course.
Avatar m tn Old cement is difficult to remove if you don't have the right equipment. (Ultrasonic scaler, ultrasonic cleaner, or air abrasion.) Better to have it professionally done.
Avatar m tn Hi, appendicitis is usually a clinical diagnosis. This is correlated with imaging studies and blood tests. The pain in appendicitis generally starts around the umbilicus and moves to the lower right quadrant of the abdomen. Now you can consult a general surgeon or a gastroenterologist for this problem. As we do not maintain a directory of doctors we may not be able to help you. You can talk to your insurance agents they may be able to direct you appropriately. Regards.
Avatar f tn is it worse to keep the appointment and have, on record, a potentially false-negative clinical diagnosis (i.e., no EDS), or ditch the appointment and not know for sure whether I likely have EDS it or not? (If it matters, I do have to travel 2-3 hours by car and spend at least a day away from home/work to keep this appointment - not saying I would cancel something important because of this, but it's added annoyance, travel stress/risk and cost.
Avatar n tn This past Sunday, I was sent home from the ER with a diagnosis of early appendicitis. I'd been suffering from a fever, lower/midline abdominal pain on my right side, and severe diarrhea for several days, and was told by my doctor to go to the ER to rule out appendicitis. Besides my signs/symptoms, the only abnormal finding was a slightly enlarged appendix in the ultrasound and CT.
Avatar f tn As soon as she left the bedside, I told my ex I still thought it was appendicitis. The surgeon got there and heard the story, saw the white count, and examined him. He said it was gangrenous appendicitis and started an IV. Then after 6 hours or something he took out his appendix. So yeah, it can be confusing sometimes. The thing they most often confuse it with is diverticulitis. That can be even worse than appendicitis though.
Avatar n tn I have contact nausea and slight unsteadiness. I have had a CT of my head and a ECG of my heart to rule out anything extremely serious. At times the nausea gets soo bad i feel like i may faint. Also the pains in my abdomen seem to get worse when i eat or after a night out drinking. Then the pain gets very sharp and spreads to the left side and lower left of the back, i get hit by a sudden feeling of weakness and have to lie down.
Avatar f tn Last night I started having a dull pain on the right side of my abdomen, across from my belly button, it went away today but came back around lunch time. It went away again and now at 2am it has come back. I pressed on my stomach a bit and it send a shooting pain through my belly button area. Its not SUPER painful, just more of a discomfort. I've also started urinating WAY more in the past hour and I'm not sure if its related but my knees began aching REALLY bad out of nowhere.
