Question 5

waste oil burn on my right leg.silver cream treatment by first doc.is it safe practice to manually remove dried flakes of silver cream on my wound by my second doc.i am treated first for 23 days with a silver cream.second doc proceed with skin graft.

Accepted Answer

Burn: You have to be quite careful with wounds caused by second or third degree burns because of the propensity for infection. A specialist in wound care may debride these wounds carefully but no one else should interfere with the healing process especially since a skin graft is planned.

Question 6

hi docs, i have a chronic pain which starts from my right side testis and radiates through my right side of the while body which starts from right side of the head, right side face, right hand, right leg till the fingers of my toe?

Accepted Answer

: Testicle pain does not radiate to the whole right body as you describe. Etiology of your pain is more complicated than just a chronic testicular pain. You need to be evaluated by a neurologist. Good luck.

Question 9

docs stumped, head pressure, drop foot, slight tremor, lack of balance, dizzy when exercising, dilated pupils at times? high iga n clean mri

Accepted Answer

Get Referred: If your doctors don't know what it is after all those tests, get referred to a specialty diagnostic hospital like Mayo clinic or Johns Hopkins and let them review your tests and see what else they can tell you.  Sounds like you might need to see a neurologist if you have not already.
