Question 1

took 1 dose prednisone4 bronchitis,10hrs after pins&needles,crawly feeling and heat sensitivity on left leg for4 months.mris clear.could med have done?

Accepted Answer

No: The prednisone could have caused some temporary sensations like pins and needles but it would not have lasted more than a day or two. if it lasted 4 months it was likely due to a nerve issue rather than the drug.

Question 2

how likely is it to have msbut negative mris?i hav heat sensitivity in my foot after strange symptoms in my leg.all thatcame up in mris was disc probs

Accepted Answer

It's possible but...: Multiple sclerosis has a number of clinical and radiologic presentations which may not always correlate. There are a number of specific components that your doctor will use to make the diagnosis which includes not only the MRI. Consult your neurologist in order to ensure your evaluation is complete and other conditions are considered as well.

Question 3

after taking a dose of prednisone i had sudden numbness&strange sensations in left leg.lingering heat sensitivity in left heel since then.mri brain/spine show herniated disc,osterarthritis&anteriorlisthesis. was worried about ms but mri neg. thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Not related to Pred: but could possibly be to the herniate disc.  The doc who ordered these tests should interpret them for you.  Good luck!

Question 4

is the covid-19 'sensitive' to heat?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Good Morning,

Coronavirus should be killed by cooking temperatures like other corona viruses. If you are asking about heat in the context of weather/climate we are not sure yet about seasonal changes in infections.  We do know that people are getting infected in countries/areas with hot weather. https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public/myth-busters.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Here are some...: Go to be checked so to assure no recurrent chronic inflammation . infection in long tight foreskin. In the meantime, keep up adequate topical hygiene. However, it's still hard to make an accurate Dx without a direct look at. So, seek evaluation by a urologist timely. Best wishes...

Question 6

what causes my teeth to be sensitive to heat?

Accepted Answer

Only heat?: Sensitivity to heat is sometimes an indication that a nerve is dead or dying. Being sensitive to hot and cold is very common and can be due to gum recession/exposed root structure, overly aggressive brushing, decay, leaking restorations. But since you said heat only, does it linger for a period of time? In any case, have your dentist check the area to see that there isn't a problem brewing.

Question 7

tooth is highly sensitive to heat and cold -- what could be the problem?

Accepted Answer

Several things: Hot and cold sensitivity can come from several problems. A hole in the tooth , a cracked tooth , a defective filling, a root that is exposed  from gum recession are the most common. Have  your dentist check it out. It won't go away and it becomes a more expensive to fix later!

Question 8

i was just prescribed an epi pen for sudden allergic reactions. is it safe to keep one in my car since they're sensitive to heat and cold?

Accepted Answer

Not safe in car: Epipen (epinephrine) is the most expensive medication you'll never use. I say that because its only used in the event of an unexpected severe allergic reaction and thankfully with awareness & avoidance that should be a rare event. Storing Epipen (epinephrine) in your car shortens its useful life. That increases cost & increases the chance that when you need it, it won't work because heat has degraded the medication.

Question 9

every time i chew alot of meat/ rough food during the day i experience gradual intense pain in between my left molars. not sensitive to heat/cold.

Accepted Answer

Worth a dental visit: You may have loosening of the molars or subtle infection under the gums. Have your dentist take xrays and evaluate. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Question 10

what could be causing my teeth to be increasingly sensitive to heat and cold?

Accepted Answer

Tooth sensitivity: Tooth sensitivity can be caused by many things: over zealously brushing (be sure to use a soft toothbrush!), tooth whitening products, or cavities. Use a desensitizing toothbrush like sensodyne to put the sensitivity at bay.
