Accepted Answer

Myelodysplasia: Myelodysplastic syndrome typically have a high mcv. Most of the myelodysplastic syndrome results from chromosome mutation. Myelodysplasia is considered to be a precancerous  state. You need to be closely followed up by a hematologist.

Question 2

i got shingles on both sides of my body from the waist down front and back. i am still dealing with numbness, tingling waist down a year later. help?

Accepted Answer

Sorry some meds help: It sounds like you have a condition called post-herpetic neuralgia - the nerves where the shingles hid are still sensitive.  It can continue to do so in some people up to 2 years from the incident.  There are several meds in the market for it - check with your doc - they are designed to decrease firing of these nerves.  They do eventually go back to normal.

Question 3

for 3 days i've been feeling a pain in my arm, shoulder, back, everything on the left side of my body, the side of my waist and hip hurt as well, it's not a very strong pain but very uncomfortable. i have no other symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Left sided pain: I can't think of any rheumatological disorder that causes the entire side of the body to be painful simultaneously. Disorders.of the thalamus of the brain stem can cause this but usually from a stroke. Since a tiny hemorrhage can cause it, I would only take acetimenophen for pain at this time &amp; If symptoms persist I recommend consulting a neurologist for evaluation.

Question 4

i have a pain on the right side at the waist and continues around the middle of my back and was wondering what this could mean.

Accepted Answer

Well: If could be a lot of things.  It could be the early signs of shingles, it could be muscular, it could be a kidney stone, you cold have a nerve that is pinched, the list can go on...You would need to provide a little more information.

Question 5

ive been having really bad lower back pain for the past 3 days ,and then slept on a heating pad all night last night now i have this sharp pain on the right side of my back like from the middle of my rib cage, down to my waist. back is swollen also?

Accepted Answer

: Are you sure you do not have a first degree burn from the heat pad? Asking somebody to look at your back to see if there is skin redness (erythema). If yes, you have first degree burn due to the heat pad. If the back skin is normal, only the area is swollen and tender, you should be evaluated by a doctor. Otherwise, low back pain is very common, taking tylenor or advil as needed for a couple days.

Question 6

pain on the left back side near waist. what is the problem?

Accepted Answer

Many Possibilities: Depending on how long it's been going on, i would consider an evaluation by a spine specialist.  Sometimes it could be a muscle imbalance, early onset arthritis or scoliosis.  Also could be a pinched nerve/herniated disc.  Either way it might be good to figure it out and get appropriate treatment.

Question 7

i am experiencing a pain on my right back side on the waist and can't move, what could be the problem?

Accepted Answer

Back pain : I have seen many people with spinal pain. I can't tell you how important an in-person examination is needed to help you.  Spinal pain can be the result of muscle, ligament, joint, nerve issues, and disc disease. Back pain with movement increased the chances it is not related to kidney disease or other organs. Often  back pain is related to underlying condition worsen by simple things like sitting

Question 8

i have pain on my waist upper side to the back and its not sharp but it is present all the time since 3 days?

Accepted Answer

# possibilities: An aching in what sounds like your flank area brings to mind either muscular pain or a renal stone. I suggest seeing generalist first for a thorough hx and px, and simple tests such as urinalysis and blood testing. Since it is only three days, may try for few days heating pad to area and drinking copious amounts of fluid.  If not gone in a week, definitely check it out.

Question 9

i have been experiencing a shart pain sometime in my far right back near the waist othertimes front right side near my waist what causes this?

Accepted Answer

: More description of your symptoms is needed in order to advise you. Possibilities include gall bladder or kidney pathology, musculoskeletal causes or nerve impingement at the spine. Pain with a deep breath is seen with pleural or lung problems. See your MD for evaluation &amp; advice. You may then be referred to a specialist.

Question 10

pain left side of back above waist?

Accepted Answer

Kidneys?: The region you describe is the left kidney.  If were a kidney stone you would likely have commented on a very intense pain.  Fever and feeling sick would be aroused by kidney infection.  Again the pain can be severe and induce an er visit.  You probably have a back muscle strain and spasm.
