Avatar m tn My finger is nowhere near my face, it’s arms length it is absolutely not a shadow and doesn’t even come close to my other eye, if I close my right eye and do it - the image is still visible in my right eye even ****, that’s why I titled it that condition. Would I know if I had brain damage?
Avatar n tn High levels of lipoproteins can increase the risk of heart disease....check the risk of atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries), stroke, and heart attack. Mayo Clinic: "Some experts suggest, however, that high levels of lp(a) may merely be markers of late-stage atherosclerosis, not a cause. Because concentrations of lipoprotein(a) are usually inherited, they do not respond to dietary or lifestyle changes.

Avatar n tn rightt hand ring finger still swellen and still pain after a month is the knuckel broken?
Avatar n tn Now 10 years later, I have it in both shoulders, and pain when I walk, in my left arch and right ankle. Once my ring finger knuckle hurt for a year. The doc said the X-Ray showed no knuckle between the finger bones. Is this a case of disappearing joints? I've tried glucosamine chondroitin and shark cartilage but I can't see any noticeable improvements. Is there any way to resolve (aside from pain killers and drugs that have unknown or risky side affects)?
Avatar m tn My doctor came into the room, tested me for CT, and aftering determining I didn't have carpal tunnel told me I had RSI, wrote a presciption for Diclofenac and left. It took him all of five minutes and I didn't even get to finish telling him what was wrong. My finger joints are stiff sometimes, from typing and my wrist is tight/stiff. When I flex, I can feel a numb pain (not numbness as in can't feel) move along the back of my hand, in the pattern of my veins.
Avatar f tn Hi there, My mother is a lifelong seamstress and developed osteoarthritis and nodules in her index fingers. I'd definitely get it checked out before the damage gets any worse, especially if the over-the-counter medication isn't doing the job.
Avatar m tn Hello Doctor, I recently made a stupid mistake, visited a strip bar and fingered one of the strippers. I have a wife and am going out of my mind with worry about anything I could pass to her.
Avatar m tn What I understood after reading your advice on other post fingering vagina with minor cut on finger is no risk if there is no active bleeding and cut is not big. Here is my incident: I fingered a girl vagina, latter I observed a cut on my same finger. I was able to see inner layer of skin which was looking red but no active bleeding. Its size around 5-7 mm in length 2-3 mm in deep. I observed some vaginal blood also in my finger with vaginal fluid.
Avatar n tn My habit in sex is that I always perform vagina licking and fingering. But at last encounter I marked finger cut as well, my finger had a torn - reddish skin at that time and it was burning too. I always used condom for vaginal sex and I never do anal sex. I never used any protection in oral sex and fingering. My questions are: 1) Is it an early symptom of HIV? 2) Can vaginal secretion on finger cut cause HIV? 3) My Saskatchewan state in Canada ..
Avatar m tn My most recent blood test revealed a high (2.4) A/G ratio (reference 1.2 - 2.2). The albumin (4.8) and globulin (2.0) are both in the normal range, although the globulin is near the low 1.5 level. Everything else in my blood work is normal except a slightly elevated LDL cholesterol. These were flagged on my lab report, but my doctor said the test results are great except the slightly high LDL (124), but the doctor noted that the HDL:LDL ratio is OK (2.82).
Avatar n tn Normally C reactive protein is undetectable in blood. A level between 1-3 shows moderate risk and a level above 3 shows increased risk for heart problems, infection, inflammation, dental problem, arthritis, cancers etc. A high C-Reactive protein should be evaluated ASAP. RA factor is normal so rheumatoid is more or less ruled out. High ANA could be non-specific or may be due to an autoimmune disease. Mixed connective tissue disorders also cause a high ANA.
Avatar m tn The risk behavior was the masseuse put her finger inside my anus for a while, not deep, the length should be around the length of first knuckle of the finger. I think I have some kind of hemorrhoids, no appearance, but sometimes the anus and skin around it has some blood when wiping by paper. I am worrying there might be some blood exchange between the masseuse's nosebleed on finger and my that part.
Avatar n tn After she left a few minutes later, I washed my hands thoroughly. Being somewhat paranoid however, I took the finger nail of my left hand to clean under the finger nails I had used on her in order to clean under the nail. I did this so rigorously that I created a small bleed under the corner of one finger nail that had been using on her.
Avatar m tn (2) Does this risk change even if she has semen or rectal fluid on her finger (or under her finger nail) from a previous HIV+ customer, and then used the same finger on me without washing her hands?

1556219 tn?1309548208 Let me start with, we recieved our results from the doctor's nurse who should not be eligible to provide this type of information to a cat, dog or cow, let alone a pregnant woman hanging in the balance. Her first words were, "Your test came back abnormal". (My head exploded, the preverbial splatter could be seen on the four walls of my office.) So I ask, "What is abnormal about it?
Avatar m tn Hello Doctor, I read the links, but still confused, I just need answer for these two question, Could HPV transmitted by putting her finger in her vagina and then putting her finger in my mouth just for 2 seconds?
