Avatar f tn Dr ran tests and gave me antibiotics. Swelling and lymphnodes went away. Fever persisted for 4 weeks. Infectious disease Dr tested for many things to no avail. Retested blood at 5 weeks most everything back to normal except platelets were high along with C-reactive proteins and my SED was extremely high. I have severe fatigue with joint/muscle pain headaches and eye strain. What could cause this. I have now been referred to a rheumatologist.
Avatar f tn s IS an underlying autoimmune disease....... and yes, it can cause severe muscle/joint pain. It can also cause edema. I have swelling throughout my body, that may or may not be thyroid related; no matter how high my levels are, it never goes completely away. My fingers swell considerably and often hurt when I bend them. What are your actual thyroid hormone levels, with reference ranges?
Avatar f tn My father is 74 yrs old and suffering from joint pain. 7 months back Ortho Doctor advised for knee replacement(TKR) and admitted to hospital but because of hard swelling in right side of the knee they did a small operation and removed the the hard swelling. It got some infections and because of Diabetes it took long time to heal and Ortho doctors are not giving care for healing the wound. The joint pain got increased and my father is not able walk at all.
Avatar m tn Your symptoms could also be due to temporomandibular (TMJ) joint arthritis. This is the jaw joint and inflammation of this joint can cause pain on opening the mouth and tenderness on palpating behind the ear. Antibiotics need to be started if a source of infection is found, indiscriminate use is not advocated. In the meantime you can take OTC Ibuprofen pain medication. Ensure to take this medication after food to avoid gastritis. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn After 2 weeks of IV antibiotics and overlapping and ongoing oral antibiotics, I still have some mild redness and swelling present. My doctor tells me the blood tests show the infection is still present and I continue on oral antibiotics. Since most of the swelling has gone away, I have been left with a discernible lump on my Achilles tendon. It's quite tender and seems to prevent the tendon from stretching.
Avatar m tn I am 40 now and the only time I ever had problems was when I was about 19 and had discharge from penis and took antibiotics but I have never been the same , I had swelling in the knee at the first onset of pain that came at night suddenly but since.. joint pain, but no swelling or redness . I am just wondering what you think Dr and where I should go from here .
Avatar n tn I have noticed a pattern which I was reminded of recently, and that is whenever I take a round of antibiotics, it relieves the swelling for a while. I finished a 10 day course on Avelox about a week and a half ago, and so far have had no swelling. Does anybody have any idea why this happens?

Avatar n tn Suffice it to say, I am of the mind that it is the long term effects of Diabetes which is at cause. The pain and swelling is different than stiffness / soreness from lactic acid build up in the mussels that arise from exertion. Thank for your comment "sleeping beauty", however, I am not sure if or why Yoga would help. Are just suggesting something or have you experienced the same?
Avatar n tn Severe (external) swelling of the elbow joint (golf ball size)…no pain, but inflammation; thought it may be related to tennis elbow, but learn later that the condition is not tennis elbow related. Condition has existed for a couple of weeks now. Want to know the medical term for this condition and is there a cure?
Avatar n tn I am seventeen years old. Over the past several months (probably since late October or early November,) I've been having severe joint pain and swelling, accompanied by chronic fatigue, headaches, limited range in movement, and occasional fever and/or nausea. I also have a very hard time sleeping, and have experienced what feel like heart palpitations, or racing of the heart at completely sporadic times.
Avatar n tn In all probability you have a ganglion (cyst) or a neurofibroma. Both can cause pain in the wrist joint. A ganglion is a sac-like swelling or cyst formed from lining of a joint or from a tendon. A neurofibroma is a collection of nerve and fibrous tissue. If they are causing pain and pressure symptoms they need to be removed. Please consult your PCP to start with and get a referral for a surgeon. Take care!
Avatar f tn It is on the safe list from my obgyn. I also researched it. Its fine in pregnancy. I'm just worried about a severe reaction that will cause bigger problems for me and my baby - throat swelling, etc.things that are highly unlikely. That's why my husband is irritated.
Avatar f tn t move, so ankle was the joint that had to give. Huge swelling immediately (size of tennis ball swelling on the outside of ankle joint), loud popping sound, thought I'd dislocasted my ankle or something. X-Ray shows ANTERIOR TALOFIBULAR LIGAMENT tear. Had physio for 9 weeks, ankle had no support during this time on physio advice. Saw Dr, as ankle not getting any better. Told to stop physio and wear ankle brace.

Avatar n tn Since you already said that your X-Rays shows up badly destroyed joints, this may be a cause of Hyper-Joint mobility.Joint swelling in not always present in these cases.Only when the Arthritis is flared up, we get joint swelling. So continue as per the doctor's advice and trust his diagnosis. Keep us informed and posted.
659496 tn?1288885852 ve read that swelling does cause extra pressure on the joints and in fact, can cause carpel tunnel syndrome during the pregnancy. Who knew!? It does tend to come and go for me; it just depends on what I've been doing that day as to how bad it gets. Hope you're doing better!
Avatar f tn s own should not cause a swelling of the foot. Feet can swell up if say you keep standing for a long time, or even sitting , because fluid pools with gravity and if there is not enough movement, the foot or ankle can swell up. But lack of sleep per se should not have that effect.
Avatar n tn punctured my finger in the joint and now it is swollen and I cant bend it and it really is painful I dont know what to do
Avatar n tn Recently he started having a lot of joint pain. Now his ankles and feet are swelling. His sugar levels are doing great. We have been to the doctor and he has had several test done. Everything is coming back good. Has anyone had these same symptoms? He is taking Metformin and I am wondering if this has anything to do with this.
Avatar f tn ) A recent upper respiratory infection (for example, cold, sore throat) Less common symptoms Localized weakness or loss of strength or sensation, especially in the face Joint swelling and pain in one or more joints A new rash that often looks like a bruiseBecause meningitis can be so serious, seeking immediate medical care is essential if you experience the symptoms described above and think that meningitis could be the cause.
Avatar f tn Posted on herpes, will post here, dermatology and anywhere else that may lead to some clues, cause this is a real mystery! Long story short - slept with a guy unprotected (both thought we were clean from previous testing) and gave him oral, 1-2 weeks after this I came out with horrible vaginal infection.
Avatar m tn are there any rare strains which modern elisa test could not detect?i have tried each and every doctors medicines znd antibiotics for my joint and muscle pain..nothing is working :(..they arent able to find out my infection?
Avatar f tn Well, the ovules go inside your vagina, so I doubt it. Irritation inside your vagina, I could buy into although I've had great luck with monostat. And it would not affect your estrogen levels. However, what were you on antibiotics for (yeast is not treated with antibiotics)--- BV or what other type of infection and what antibiotic was it?
