Avatar f tn I told her my mom and both my sisters have cold sores and couldnt I have had that and she said I have gential herpes bc of the swollen lymph nodes and my IGG is high so that means my body is actively fighting it. Is that correct? Does a high number mean my body is actively fighting it? I got two opinions that it wasn't a herpe and as soon as I took the bactrim the lymph node and swollen labia and ingrown hair disappeared. Do I have genital herpes now?

Avatar f tn If the leg it still in a cast, it does not make a difference. If out of the cast and you can’t straighten your leg completely at the knee, but can raise the leg at the hip; this could indicate a muscle weakness/ stiffness as occurs after a period of immobilization or minor injury to the tendon, inflammation or related causes. This is likely to respond well to conservative management, not usually requiring a surgical intervention. You may like to discuss this in detail with your doctor.
Avatar f tn Is your leg swollen, painful, different color? Does pain change with elevation, activity. From what you have written it does not sound like DVT, but then again it's a very serious issue that can cause lung embolism or heart failure so it's best to get it checked out if you suspect it.
Avatar n tn It does sound like water on the knee, I am not certain how you can treat it how about you try another forum for help by the expert s , on the doctor Forum .

Avatar n tn They hurt all over especially to the lower sides of the knee. They are a bit swollen. They have infiltrated my already with cortizone not having much effect and again recently with a lubricant steroid. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing me such horrible pain 24/7?
Avatar n tn 40 can be a negative result or a mild positive result. A positive ANA test result may suggest an autoimmune disease but further testing is required. From reading your current question, i see you have issues with your thyroid. Autoimmune thyroid disease (either Graves' disease or Hashimoto's thyroiditis) may show up with a positive or negative ANA titer. One study on Hashimoto's thyroiditis found 47% were ANA positive. Of them, 60% showed a titer of 1:40.

Avatar m tn I was bitten in California years ago. I have many, many symptoms and many illneses and viruses. I had a Natural path doctor recognize the symptoms 3-4 years ago, but the western blot came back negative. In 2013, on a camping trip I was bitten agin (but by fleas from racoons and mosquitos. Not sure any were tick bites this time, but lots of deer in our camp. My symptoms went into hyper drive and I got really sick & my right knee blew up on me and is still swollen hot & full of fluid.
701160 tn?1228413523 About 3 years ago My bursa swelled up due to constant friction of the knee rubbing againts a wrestling gym mat. It was swollen and very irritable/stinging to the touch. The bursa eventually popped and I had to get my knee drained. Right now the Bursa just seems to be swollen. IT feels like the same type of pain from before, but for some reason most of the swelling leans towards the left side of my knee cap. I am also wondering would a patella support strap/brace be good for this injury?
