infection

Avatar m tn i recently got diagnosed with HPV although i do not know which type it is and who or where it came from. I do jiujitsu and i was scratched by my partner on my wrist and had a scar, it then got infected and i noticed on my other arm, small little pimple like structures appeared as well. i got it checked and the doctor said it was warts from HPV. I have 10 warts now on my forearms and wrist and none at my genital area. i am currently undergoing liquid nitrogen treatment.
Avatar m tn I have a tingling in my right hand and the underside of my right wrist when I'm doing something like pressure washing or similar activities. I twisted and hurt my right shoulder a year or two ago and am wondering if that could be causing this.
Avatar n tn I have cystitis in the wrist end of the ulna bone. It feels like carpal tunnel syndrome and force such as turning on a very stiff tap can set it off and the bone where the infection is becomes extremely painful and cannot be used for 10 days or so. why does this happen? Is there a cure/treatment for it?

Avatar n tn On my right hand, just above my wrist there's a hard lump in my hand. Everyone says it's cos i'm so skinny & that my bones show but no one else has it there and my mum says she doesnt think that it's a bone. What could this be??
Avatar n tn Earlier today I reached down to my leg to scratch, bending my wrist forward (palm toward wrist) to do so. Suddenly, however, a sharp pain shot through my wrist and I have been in pain ever since. I must keep it still to avoid the pain, and it hurts worst (excruciating and sharp) when I bend my wrist up, or towards the top of my arm (the opposite direction to when the injury occurred). Sensation/pulse in the fingers is fine, other wrist is perfect. What could it be and what should I do?
Avatar m tn The carpal tunnel (at your wrist through which the median nerve passes) changes its size depending on the position of the wrist. It’s widest when wrist and hand are straight in line. When the hand is bent up or down, the tunnel becomes slightly smaller. This then presses on the nerve which then causes a pain or tightness right up to the elbow.
Avatar m tn were is the pain located at i saw your wrist but there are alot of things that can go wrong in the wrist did he use any terms like dequarvaines tenosynovitis, carpol bax, TFCCin order I would need to know small finger side thumb side down the center of wrist, does your wrist "pop" when you move it side to side ( ulnar or radial deviation)
Avatar n tn s scabbed over and no sign of infection so I should be in the clear now.
1625195 tn?1332178662 My left wrist, whenever rotating it (as in always) makes popping / cracking noises (even when it is not aching). When my left arm is hanging limp at my side, the pain in my index finger increases. When I raise my left arm, the numbness turns to non-painful "tingling". I do not have a great grip in my left hand when my elbow / wrist act up like this. ----- Does anyone know what this could be? or Does anyone know anything that can help ease this / make it go away?
Avatar n tn I have had a pain in my left wrist for a few weeks,and then noticed a swelling in my arm pit.My practioner examined and prescribed anti inflamatories Ibrufen. today I noticed an oily yellow dischage on squeezing the nipple. Should I be concerned???On examination there is no lumps in my breast.
Avatar m tn The reason I ask is the person in question has somewhat of a compromised immune system, and has just had shingles. But due to the misdiagnosis of an A and E doctor, her wrist is fusing in a matter of days. She has to make the call of having a metal plate (she already has one in the other wrist) or a wire within a day. The wire isn't as effective apparently, but the risk of injection is worrying, especially considering the immune system. ADVICE PLEASE PEOPLE!
Avatar n tn Thank you very much for the response. I did a quick reading about the De Quervain's tenosynovitis and it does seem like that is what I am having now. Especially because one of the symptoms described for that condition is that, when I try to do the "Finklestein maneuver", it hurts in the wrist at the base of thumb. I will consult a doctor in regards to getting a Cortisone injection. Thanks!
Avatar f tn As the cyst is on the hand, I would assume it to be a ganglion cyst, also know as bible cyst. It is more common among women ,especially around 20 to 40 years of age. The cyst usually go away on its own, so you needn't to go to the doctor if it is asymptomatic. But there are things you can do at home. You can buy a wrist splint from a drug store or from box stores which sale first aid supplies. It would assist in the healing process and your hand would feel safe and comfortable during sleep.
Avatar n tn Also my wrist is still in pain. All on my right hand, which is also my dominant hand.Also my left wrist is in quite a bit of pain too, actually more than my right, but no numbness. It has been about 2 weeks since I finished for the fishing season and still no improvement in my hands. Fingers have been numb 24/7 for the past 2 weeks, still cannot do a push because of my left hand. Hard for me to turn a door knob with left hand, and hard to type with left hand because it hurts in that position.
Avatar m tn So to transfer one on my wrist he slowly exhaled onto his stamp to make it moist and then put his wrist onto mine, strongly pressing on it, hoping that the stamp will leave a mark on my wrist as well. He held it very strongly, pressing on it, for about 20-30 second. Later, I realized that earlier that evening I got a small nail scratch on that wrist. So I thought what if he had something on his hand or he was scratched as well?
1426717 tn?1282875265 The cause of fibromyalgia is often hereditary or due to a physical or emotional trauma or due to lingering infection in the body such as due to mono. The treatment is a mix and match of analgesics, anti depressants, anti seizure medications, physical therapy and counseling. Alternatively you should be tested for gout and rheumatoid arthritis. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
1970271 tn?1325775862 These strange sensations are most probably due to the nerve injury at the wrist sustained from the cut. The nerves, which cross the wrist, are median and ulnar nerve. Restoration of function is complete with 1st and 2nd degree nerve injuries which is neuropraxia and axonotmesis. Regeneration during neurontomesis or more severe nerve injury is usually compromised and more so the sensory recovery.
Avatar n tn I am very concernd, they appear to be redish in color and started off in very small patches and are now spreading all over the tops of my feet and also around my ankles and toes now as well. I have had them for a couple yrs now and they are getting worse. Not only do I have the spots but the coloring of my skins around them is somewhat yellow brown. I dont know what they are but they started a couple yrs ago and I have never seen anything like it????
960548 tn?1251288388 For the past week my left wrist has been in pain non-stop, because of this I can't play most sports or mess around like I usually do. I think I may have pulled a ligament (It can't be broken, if it was I'd probably be screaming in pain :\), it might have happned in Drama because we do these tai chi x Yoga stuff.. We had to do this excersize how we have our hands on the ground (we are in a crawling position) and we have our fngers pointing to ourselves.
Avatar m tn I recently went to the ER because my left armpit was swollen. Dr diagnosed it as a Lipoma and sent me home. Hours later, I developed a small bump on my neck and since then my armpit, neck, collar bone, and wrist have remained swollen (all on the left side). I wouldn't consider any of it painful, however my shoulder and wrist get very stiff and a bit uncomfortable. After googling it, my non-physician self, concluded maybe it's an infection in my lymph nodes.
Avatar m tn Carpal tunnel syndrome is the condition that results from dysfunction of one of the nerves in the wrist. In carpal tunnel syndrome the median nerve is compressed, or pinched off, as it passes through the wrist joint and causes severe pain. A wrist fracture is a common orthopedic injury which may cause pain. You should get an evaluation done. Refer http://orthopedics.about.com/od/handwrist/a/wristpain.
Avatar n tn I've been getting these strange hives on my left wrist (and ONLY my left wrist) for the last month or so. They are extremely itchy and sometimes change shape when I'm watching them. Tiny red dots appear on and around my wrist when the hives break out. Last time it happened (not this particular time) my entire hand and wrist hurt terribly - like someone was stepping on it and turning their heel - a burning, stabbing pain. I haven't been using anything new - soap, lotion, etc.
Avatar n tn Last thursday a spot on my wrist got burned for quite a while by a piece of burning material caught in my vest after an accident. I went to the doctor to tend to this, and other wounds, all that was done was clean up the wounds test for acid and apply bandages. The brown burnt spot has been there from the start but has not gone away as of since, the burn mark is slightly recessed into my skin and the skin around it is red and starting to peel. Is my wound infected?
Avatar m tn A few days ago, I had a severe burning type pain in my wrist along with redness. There was heat in the hand where it turned bright red. The bruising showed within a few hours afterwards. What would cause that? As of right now, the bruising is starting to fade but I still have some pain in the wrist along with a couple of fingers..
Avatar f tn I've had 3 wrist IV's in the past few weeks (don't they hurt like the devil?!), I'm a very difficult stick, I've had no problems other than the bruising for a few days...maybe an nerve was struck during the administration of the IV??...good luck.
