Avatar n tn While the RA factor may go down this does not mean you do not have RA. For example, my factor is borderline positive but my disease activity is still rampant. Labs by themselves are not conclusive. It is the combination of symptoms, x-rays and/or MRIs and labs that make the diagnosis. Still, it is possible to go into remission so there is hope!
Avatar n tn Sorry, I wasn't sure where to post this. I am totally freaking out and my doctor is blowing me off with "don't worry yet". I had a ct scan with contrast which they want to repeat in 3 months. The findings: The lungs are well expanded. Mild diffuse interstitial prominence is noted. This is non-specific but could be related to chronic or acute process. At the lung apices, there are speculated parenchymal opacities which appear to be pleural based.
Avatar m tn I had a vaginal ultrasound for a simple ovarian cyst my gynecologist is monitoring since last november 2017. It is currently 5.5 x 5.1 x 5.1 cm. She says its simple and isn't too worried but i have terrible back pain so im getting it removed in 3 weeks. In the vaginal ultrasound they also noticed something abnormal in my uterus. The lower uterine segment to be exact. What could that be??A uterine cyst? Does cystic mean cysts?
Avatar m tn Hi all, I just had an ultrasound of my thyroid come back and it said the words: "Right thyroid lobe is 5.0cm x 1.4cm x 1.5cm, left lobe is 3.7cm x 1.6cm x 1.0cm and the isthmus is 0.3cm. The left lobe, in the middle portion, shows a 0.8cm x 0.5cm well defined slightly hypoechoic nodule and the echo suggests an adenoma. The parenchyma elsewhere is slightly coarse. Summary: Multiple lymph nodes in right and left anterior triangles of the neck.
Avatar f tn I have also had alot of x-ray contrasts done the previous year due to staghorn kidney stone surgery(ies). Would this have an effect on my thyroid and what does all of this mean? Do I have hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism or anything at all. I'm very confused because of the weight gain and the treatment seems contradictory. Any help would be great as I don't know what to make of it or what caused all of this.

Avatar f tn I went to see mg midwife on Wednesday for my 38 week appointment and she said baby's head is 2/5 palpable. What does that mean? Also, I'm not scheduled to see her until my due date now (20th) and before I left she said 'don't have her over the weekend, I'm not at work but I'll see you next week'. Now I'm probably reading into it too much but do you think she meant anything by it? How much longer?
