Avatar f tn Has anyone ever had an experience with a nodule/lump ocurring at the incision site after a stertactic biopsy? I had it done ten days ago and now there is a palpable lump the size of a pea right at the incision site.
Avatar f tn If they worked on your left side, they probably administered Heparin to prevent clots from the transseptal puncture. This could slow the closing time at the leg site. I awoke to a large sand bag pressing on the entry site and the rest of my "man parts". It was quite umcomfortable!
Avatar f tn Anyway I finally got a diagnosis for my heart when they saw ischemia in MRI and now since feb/march I have leg pain aswell. Actually its in the femoral area . The pain happens after walking 5 mins or so . It is relieved by rest , worse when walking uphill . Not effected by position. Somedays better than others. The pulse is weak in the groin (as commented by 2 Drs) but normal in feet. My toes are purple and my legs are cold .
Avatar f tn s mildly itchy, no pain, red swollen lump with a single bloody puncture mark around 3 mm away from lump. This can be when I'm in bed, walking around during day, at home or even away from home. It's always a single bite, but in same area (2 inch area) but not exactly same spot. THIS HAS BEEN GOUNG ON FOR CLOSE TO 1 YEAR.
Avatar f tn My dog was bit on the shoulder and under on the meaty upper part of his leg which left a small puncture wound, I treated it 3 times a day for over a week, applying hot compresses to the lump that developed near the wound in the arm pit area, I noticed it would bleed a lot after treating it, I also applied hydrogen peroxide and an triple antibiotic to the wounds, he seems to be doing a lot better now, barely limps and is eating and drinking and seems to be in great spirits.
579123 tn?1217791074 it which failed. He chose NOT to stent the bypass due to being a large area, he stated it would take AT least 4 stents. He has and ejection fraction of around 15-19. I guess my questions are if this closes off will it cause another heart attack? Would stents have helped? Or do you think the Dr. just figures his heart is to weak to have handled the stents? Will the scar tissue continue to grow? Any advice or information or opinions that anyone has would be GREATLY appreciated.
Avatar m tn Congratulations on the benign pathology results. As for those breast biopsies... there's a lot of swelling and bruising that takes place. There's also scar tissue formation during the healing process, which can make the site of the incision (or, needle puncture) feel like a hard lump. Maybe, what you're feeling as being a lump is, in fact, scar tissue.
Avatar n tn A venogram is an X-ray test that takes pictures of blood flow through the veins in a certain area of the body and a special dye is utilized for best visualization. An arteriogram is an imaging test that also uses x-rays and a special dye to see inside the arteries. The obvious is to avoid roller-coasters however if this is a sign of an abnormality you may want it investigated. Remember I could be totally wrong and it could be nothing or something completely different. Good luck to you.
Avatar f tn Hello. I had a cardiac ablation 3 weeks ago for a-fib. The incision sites in my legs healed quickly and the bruising went away within the first 2 weeks. Last week I had a TIA (mini-stroke) and the ER doc told me that I may experience more and to get to a hospital immediately if I do (I actually waited a while after it happened before I went to the ER and only because my husband literally put me in the car and took me).
Avatar n tn i have had this bump at the lower section of my lower eye lid for well over a year. my doctor gave me ointment and antibiotics and i've also applied warm compress to it. Why won't i go away? it has recently started growing and people can now see this lump, that is about 1 inch below my eye line. pulling my eyelid down to see it on the inside area i have noticed is also changing in color. being a red lump to now having a funny yellow color to it. Any idea what this is?
Avatar n tn My left recurrent laryngeal nerve was paralyzed after the bypass where I choked on liquids and raspy voice which I was told was rare to happen too. Went OK after 2 months, I got my voice back after I refuse surgery to inject my Left vocal cord .Recent arteriogram in July 2008 and everything looks good and patent including the LIMA . NO narrowing . Oct 2008, chest pain woke me up from sleep and went to ER w/ EKG and labs normal.
Avatar n tn I just had a lumbar puncture done just over a week ago while admitted at a hospital and the second the needle went in (not the freezing needle) I had pain go down to my lower back on my left side and I yelped in pain. The doctor took the needle out and gave me more freezing, then tried again. I still had discomfort in my lower back, it got progressively worse to the point where my back was spasming and I was screaming in pain.
Avatar n tn Mine bled for 5 days and then slowly stopped, leaving a plum-sized internal lump which, 2 weeks later, has shrunk to the size of a large grape. No matter how careful the radiologist, it is almost impossible not to puncture capillaries on the way into the breast with the biopsy needle. Until the bleeding stopped, ice packs and gentle compression were very helpful. You should consider checking back with your MD if your bleeding persists. Kind regards...
516285 tn?1211547390 Two days ago a large lump appered under the wound, growing in size all the time, though not at a fast rate, is now about size of goose egg and area is growing in size. Went back to vet "leave it alone" come back if it really is large. I am concerned, I'm off again to vet tonight. He doesnt seem to be in pain, and he is eating ok. Is the swelling normal after the trauma of a bite ??
Avatar n tn There is a huge lump, the size of a baseball on the back of my puppy's neck. The lump has doubled in size since yesterday and am wondering what this could be. It feels like there is liquid in it and everytime we touch the area, my puppy cries. What could this be? Can a stick a needle in it and try to pop it?
Avatar n tn i had a baby girl 11 weeks today, 3 weeks ago a lump appeared infront of her right ear and has started to grow on her left too since then it has gotten alot bigger.
Avatar n tn My 13 year old lab mix was bit on the shoulder over a week ago, he is doing a lot better but there is a small hard lump a few inches from the puncture in his arm pit, I've been treating it 3 times a day with hot compresses then hydrogen peroxide and triple antibiotic as well, the lump has gotten smaller and drained after the compresses, I know ideally he should see a vet but due to a bad experience he freaks out anytime we go there and I don't want to put him through that if I don't
Avatar m tn Since it started healing, I have started to form a rash around the location of the puncture wounds. A couple of the puncture wounds are already healed up, but this blistery rash continues. The rash is made up of numerous small bumps around the still healing and already healed puncture wounds. Sometimes, if I don't pay attention and I manage to bump my arm, these little bubbles will 'pop' and leave behind some clear fluid.
1380526 tn?1292839385 Hey I have the exact same problem after having lumbar puncture to diagnose viral meningitis which was never a set in stone diagnosis. I have electric shocks at site of lumbar puncture and burning sensations in lower back and tightness feeling. I also have pain in my hip/bum area and leg I can't even lay flat on my back at all. It so painful I just freeze up and need someone to help me move. It's so painful!
Avatar m tn I am contemplating a procedure called an arteriogram supposedly for taking pictures in my heart to establish any further proper procedure but am scared to death after hearing of so many who have had catherizations similar and yielding bad or questionable results, I have high blood pressure, extreme hypertension, atrial fibrillation, fibromyalgia, diabetes and am known to be a bad bleeder not to mention several other issues My question i guess would be: can anyone give me some kind of comfort or
Avatar m tn I had a no scalpel vasectomy about 10 days ago. My puncture wounds healed up nicely. I spent a majority of the day of and the following day with ice packs on the area. I confess that I was more active than prescribed on days 3 and 4 post procedure and experienced some scrotal swelling and a heaviness of the testes on days 4-7. My question is in regards to the severed ends of each vas deferens.
Avatar m tn This, however, could not solve it as I believe that the lump is a bit further in skin rather than being just beneath the outer skin as I could not puncture deep enough to reach the lump. I have also considered the possibilities of this being an STD, however, I am a virgin, therefore, I believe that this is not the case. I do however mastrubate, but I am careful with hygiene, washing my hands with soap before and after mastrubation.
