Question 1

had a kidney u/s for rt flank pain was neg a month ago. now i have microscopic hematuria, going to see a urologist. chances of bladder tumor?

Accepted Answer

Microhematuria: I can't give you chances, but I can tell you that one of the reasons for Microhematuria is bladder cancer.  But infection is also a reason, stones in the urinary system are a reason (they may not be seen on ultrasound), and there are other reasons.  So rather than worry yourself sick, eat a few of those great walnuts grown around there, and wait and see what is going on.

Question 2

me-52 yr old female presents with acute ipsilateral sacral pain, l-side, when getting out of bed in the morning.  pain lessened via ambulation.  help!?

Sounds like an: Arthritic or degenerative issue with your low back or even sacroiliac joint.  If it eases quickly, just make sure you are exercising regularly and not smoking as well as keeping your weight under control.  Otherwise, try some otc medication if no medical reasons not to.  If it persists, see your doctor for further guidance.

Question 4

l lwr back pain, at l1 level but 1 handbreadth l of spine. pulsates, radiates, worse c moving. sudden onset. recently had sacral pain, was shoveling.

Accepted Answer

Strain: The history suggests paravertebral muscle strain. Treatment is resting, applying alternating hot and cold applications and taking anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen or naproxen and rubbing in liniment like bengay. Lateral sacral discomfort could have been due to sacroiliac joint inflammation and the same treatment should also help this should it recur.See MD if not improved.

Question 5

See your doctor: Blood in stools warrants further investigations to rule out serious causes. In your case we should be more vigilant given the background history of previous neoplasm.

Question 8

what kind of tumor is it if it is growing in mouth next to the tooth and jaws, but doesn't hurt or have any pus?

Tumor?: There is not enough information to diagnose a tumor. How do you know it is a tumor? How long has it been there? Is it hard or soft? Has the jaw enlarged and have the teeth moved? Where is it located in the mouth: front or back, cheek side or tongue side? Please see your dentist or pcp to get these questions answered for a diagnosis.

Accepted Answer

Needs further evalua: This person should see a Medical doctor(Internist) or a specialist(like a Hematologist) to sort out the cause of her anemia and low platelet count.
I would recommend a repeat CBC, Differential count and platelet count be done and send us those results. If the numbers are same or lower, then she must get a medical check up and rule out a Bone marrow disorder/Blood disorder
