fingernails flattening out

what is flattening of the hemidiaphragm bilayerally? could this have been caused by my dog suddenly jumping on my chest?

Hey there, girl.....I don't know. It sounds terrible. When I was getting chemo, I had an eruption of psoriasis and I lost my toenails and they aren't coming back....chemo ended 5 years ago. I hurt my toes all the time; but I know it would be much worse if it was my finger nails. I wish I could offer some help. Maybe someone will come along and know something helpful. Have you spoken to your doc or your chemo team about this? That's a good place to start.

I knew about the thinning hair, which I am experiencing to a much, MUCH worse degree than I expected (but hey, it's summer!! ) But I have never read anything about tx affecting your fingernails. It only makes sense, as they are both made of the same thing - but has anyone else had this problem? Mine are awful! They are like paper, thin, peeling, and constantly ripping, even though they are cut completely short.

I helped this man out of his car after it flipped over and some of his blood got on my hand where there were no cuts, and on my sleeve. When i pulled off my shirt, its possible the sleeve could have brushed against the surface cuts under my nail and Im just concerned about possible transmission of HIV or Hep B ... the ER said it didnt stipulate receiving PEP, but should i go for a sevond opinion, or am i being irrational??

I have been noted to have domed fingernails but not apparently 'clubbed' They have been like this as long as I can remember What might cause domed nails but not clubbed. ???

The doctor says my thyroid hormone levels fluctuates as do my symptoms. My fingernails are the worst and I am so very tired and weak. They are very soft and thin with ridges. I thought the synthyroid was supposed to help with these issues. Am I wrong and is something else going wrong This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/263637'>Fingernails indicative of thyroid problems?</a>.

Anyone have terrible fingernails with their VDD? I ask because for the past few years my nails have been very blah, the minute they start to grow they just split and peel. Now, I have noticed being on the VD for the past few weeks/months my nails finally seem to be growing slowly and not splitting or peeling, yet anyhow.

Hi, can you tell me what other tests can I get to find out the problem? And if my fingernails are purple all the time, (they have been purple since July 14th) is it still Raynaud's?

The fusions were doing well until a few weeks ago, started experiencing severe muscle spasms in shoulders and neck. Now surgeionsays that the C5-C6 is flattening and will look at it again in 3 months. Will probably have to have surgery again at that level with graft from hip bone. Workman comp wants to go ahead and meet regarding Voc rehab.... Has anyone experienced problems like this and if so, what was the outcome??? Thanks.

There is degenerative disc disease with posterior protrusion of the disc and flattening of the anterior thecal sac at the C3-4, C4-5, C5-6 and C6-7 levels. In addition, there is slight flattening of the cervical spinal cord at C4-5 and C5-6 levels secondary to the central disc protrusion. The disc protrusion is generally greater on the right than the left. No significant neural foraminal stenosis or spinal stenosis is otherwise seen on the study.

Hi, I'm trying to find out the cause of this. One and a half month ago, I overexercised (went running a lot more than I was used to) and when I finished, my fingernails were purple/blue. Since then, they have remained purple. A week after that I started developing many other symptoms which I'm quite sure have to do something with that. I went through several tests including EKG, echocardiogram, xray, spirometry, CT scan and blood work. All came back normal.

I am hoping someone out there can help me understand my CT Scan (w/o contrast). Is it bad enough for surgery? Epidurals didn't work, PT is not working, I'm trying to walk everyday, taking OXYCONTIN, OXYCODONE, ULTRAM, I CAN'T take all the medicines, it's crazy.

About flattening of thecal sac

If HIV fluid got under your fingernails from hand-genital contact, does the virus die immediately while underneath the fingernails? My understanding is that the virus is damaged/non infectious immediately when fluids are transferred onto the hands no matter if its under the fingernails or any other part of the hand. I think I already know the answer but I would appreciate a response. Thanks!

moderate narrowing or the right lateral recess and right neural foramen with mild narrowing of the right cervical spinal canal. Associated mild flattening of ventral surface of spinal cord. I have not had a chance to go over this with my Doc yet. Can I get some help with what this means?

I really run much more than what I was used. When I finished, my fingernails were purple. Since then, they have stayed that way. A week after that, I started having many other symptoms (headaches, wooziness, etc). I was told by my doctors that it was raynauds, but now I have found out that raynaud causes attacks and then fingernails come back to normal. Mine are purple all the time, but occasionally my right thumb and left index turn very blue, although they return to purple when I press them.

I am an eighteen year old female, and have been wondering for some time whether or not I am at slight risk for a heart condition. My fingernails are mounded/crested, especially my thumbnails, and I've been told this is often a symptom for heart disease (however, I also chewed my nails quite a bit as a child, so this might have added to it). I am also frequently cold, particularly in my extremities (hands and feet), and wonder if I have poor circulation.
