Avatar f tn There can be a massive heart attack (MI) and the muscle cells necrosis (death) can be global and one does not survive. Or there can be a heart attack and the heart muscle can survive with timely supply of oxygen...the saying goes, "time is muscle". Or there can be a small isolated area/areas of necrosis and location can be significant or not. The pain varies (chest, jaw, arm shoulders {sharp or dull}) and sometimes there is no pain.
Avatar m tn ve discovered the ADA and most dentists say the jawbone and teeth cannot affect the rest of the body and that jawbone necrosis (dead bone) is inert, localized and does not spread if it is present. I've also e-mailed with people who discovered this was not true, had jawbone necrosis removed and their health returned. This is either controversial or unknown among 99% of dentists (it appears). I am still having necrosis removed but mine has spread so much that it may be too late.
Avatar n tn If necrotic bone is present within the jaw bone, either upper or lower jaw, surgical debridement of necrotic bone is indiacted . Bone graft to fill the defect may be beneficial. However, the defect may heal up without bone graft.
Avatar f tn I have horrible teeth I know. u name the dental problem I probably have it. what has been bugging me for weeks is my left jaw. it's swollen it hurts if u run your hands along both my cheeks there is a very noticable bump and the left side and u can feel the swelling inside too. My best guess is bad infection from really bad abscess but I'm not a dentist. I have insurance but only medicaid. I'm kinda poor. Where do i begin to fix my teeth ?
Avatar m tn Sometimes people do get injured by the cath, so I would wonder the same thing as Koop123. But like kenkeith, I have a hard time imagining a cath injury to the ventricle wall that would be bad enough to cause a permanent scar. Don't take me for any kind of expert, but the cath injuries that I have heard about were more along the lines of the cath puncturing a thin vessel wall.
Avatar f tn I had a breast reduction in 2006. Since then I have had numerous problems with fat necrosis. How common is fat necrosis following breast reduction and what is the causes of this problem ? Also is fat necrosis painful? I also had a mammogram and ultrasound in July of 2008 with repeat films in December of 2008 which showed a increase in size of the fat necrosis in two separate areas. Any thoughts or comments on this issue. Thanks for your help.
Avatar f tn Osteoporosis medications like Raloxifene (Evista), alendronate (Fosomax), risendronate (Actonel) and ibandronate (Boniva) all can cause flu like symptoms in individuals that are taking them. I am not sure what medications you are on, but this could be your problem.
Avatar n tn At least one of the teeth developed a dry socket, and they are taking a very long time to heal.The site where the bone was burnt is concave from the rest of my jaw by quite a little, and it still hurts. i can feel hard pieces that crack when i press with my tongue-inside my gums. I feel sick most of the time, my face, mouth, lymph node by my ear on the right hurt. I am on medicaid, and my dentist has used up much of it on a partial that i never got to wear, and surgical extractions, x rays..
Avatar m tn what was formerly called piecemeal necrosis or limiting plate necrosis is now usually called "interface hepatitis".
Avatar n tn I have been diagnosed with fat necrosis (in one breast) after a bilateral mastectomy with immediate reconstruction with a tram free flap. I noticed a little hardness in one breast. How is this treated? What is the long term prognosis? Will fat necrosis make imaging studies more difficult to read?
Avatar n tn I would definitely ask your doctor why she thinks it should be biopsied. Did your doctor mention fat necrosis? Fat necrosis is a benign condition, supposedly produced by trauma to the breast, considered somewhat rare (except in cosmetic surgery circles apparently). I don't believe it is as rare as indicated. I had a classic late stage fat necrosis lesion that was BIRADS 5 scary on the mammo and US.
624800 tn?1221801752 DCIS is ductal carcinoma in situ, also called grade 0 cancer, and is often referred to as "pre-cancer" because it is not yet invasive. I think cribiform has to do with the architecture of the malignancy. Not sure about micropapillary unless that means you have some tiny papilloma involved. I'm guessing with the central comedo necrosis but I think it has to do with the evolution of the area and its current state.
Avatar f tn g. Ibandronate, Pamidronate). These drugs will repair your bones and protect them from further damage by the cancer.
Avatar f tn Further i was prescribed me Sulfasalazine, Indomethacin SR, Vitamin D Sachet, Ibandronate and Calcium tablets when the symptoms not controlled. Currently I am suffering from pain my thorasis spine and chest(Rt), Knee(Rt), Area near thorasis spine(Lt), sometimes red eye, Ankle and heels pain, shoulder pain(Lt), neck pain and pain in left region of hip.
Avatar f tn After looking at my recent x rays he has informed me that I have Avascular Necrosis in both knees. My left knee joint has collapsed and the right one is heading for collapse. Can you tell me if Avascular Necrosis is a form of Arthritis? If so what do you get first Osteoarthritis or Avascular Necrosis?I am 55 years old.
Avatar n tn I was hit in the breast 12months ago by exercise equipment (really hard blow), had a bruise, not much pain, and it healed. Now I have a hard, firm, non-tender, non-moving pea size lump. Can trauma that long ago be producing a lump now? I do not recall any lumps at time of whammy to breast nor up to 2 weeks ago. Scheduled for mammo & ultrasound...if it's necrosis will it be obvious to the radiologist?
Avatar m tn My question is I am a 38 year old male that is been diagnosed with Avascular Necrosis of my right hip with the most recent x ray`s showing partial collaspe and a small fracture. I am in extreme pain every day I have not been able to find a surgeon that would do either a hip refurfacing or replacement. Is it common for someone my age to have to live with this type of extreme pain ?
Avatar n tn I recently had a tummy tuck and as a result have skin necrosis right above the pubic area. I am not or never have been a smoker. What could have caused this and how long will it take to heal? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/280032'>swelling after tummy tuck</a>.
Avatar n tn These came back normal too. He insisted I see a surgeon to evaluate it. I did and he believes that it is fat necrosis but is not sure and doing a breast biopsy on the 9th. I am so nervous. What are the chances that of a lump not showing up on a mammography but then is cancer?
Avatar f tn i have avascular necrosis of both hips had a transplant put on predisone which caused bone loss had the hip ball drilled out hoping to bring blood back after that theirs just replacement
Avatar m tn I'm curious about your Ultrasound report .... surely there must have been more to it than just the one word to lead to a biopsy. Did you get a copy of the report or just word from your Physician ?? I'd be interested in hearing more of the report ... if there is more; especially since the Mammogram was "normal". I wouldn't think the lump would be the result of the injury you mentioned since it was months ago but anything is possible.
Avatar n tn The real question is why has fat necrosis occurred. Fat necrosis develops from vascular insufficiency to the tissues. Is this the result of the surgery itself or contributed by some additional underlying condition. I am as puzzled as your surgeon probably is. Once the devascularized fat is removed, the pain and drainage should stop.
