Question 1

hello doc. the k 56 pink 10mg oxycontin, are they extended release? thanks for your time.

Accepted Answer

I believe: This is an oxycodone pill. Not OxyContin.  So it is a short acting medicine.

Question 2

i was prescribed wellbutrin (extended release) but there wasn't 150 mg so doc gave me 300 mg and told me to cut it in half is that safe or will it effect the extended release?

Accepted Answer

: It is not suitable to cut extended release pills. As you mentioned, it will defeat the "extended release" function.

Question 3

i would like a doctor review my health metrics?

Accepted Answer

Not done here: This site cannot review studies such as the one you mention. That has to be done through your own physician or the concierge site here in which you will pay for it to be done.

Question 4

can doctors reduce the size of nipples through plasticsurgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Nipples can be reduced both in width and in length. Nipple reduction surgery can affect the nipple sensation and ability to breast feed.

Question 5

how do doctors decide which size needle to use when stitching a wound?

Accepted Answer

Soft skin = small: The more delicate the skin, the finer the thread and therefore the finer the needle that is required. The needles/thread range from 1 to 6 (largest to smallest). Generally for the face we use a 5 or 6, for the arms and hands a 4 and for the legs a 3 or sometimes a 2. Size 1 is for heavy duty jobs like holding a piece of surgical tubing in place.

Question 6

can any doc tell me what's the correct size of a ureter in a child aged 7 years?

Accepted Answer

4 - 5 mm in diameter: &amp; length is from kidney to bladder.

Question 7

just wanna know if i go to the doctors bout my headaches on the right size of my head. will i get bad news? as i get them regular?

Accepted Answer

Can't tell ya: No news is good news? Look at it this way: something bad caught early= we could fix. Something bad caught late= no chance. You are taking a chance with your own health- the wrong chance.

Question 8

good doctors i had a scan done is 15.5cm length a normal size for a liver ? a previous scan showed 14.4cm of the liver length. thank you?

Accepted Answer

: Somewhere at the upper limit of normal, it has to do more with the reason for the test and using such results in clinical context in order to explain/ diagnose your condition. Your doc remains best in clarifying.

Question 9

i have multiple lipoma all over the body for over 10 years now.they have grown in size and look awkward.visited multiple doctors. no gain. pls suggest?

Accepted Answer

Analyse risk/benefit: Lipomas are benign growths, and they can recur. So without surgical removal the risk is for diagnosis (are the lumps something else more ominous), pain, discomfort, and appearance issues. The surgical risk for removal is expense, recovery and recurrence. If you want removal, then okay to ask for surgical consult and discuss your risk/benefit analysis.

Question 10

i am a 42yr old man, 6ft 4 height 140kilo weight . am currently takin 900mg of pregablin a day . my doc says that 600mg is the max daily but my point is due to my size i need a higher dose . can i have a 2nd opinion pls?

Accepted Answer

Why are you taking?: It depends on why youa re taking it.  For diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, and seizures the maximum is 600 mg.  For fibromyalgia it is 450 mg.

I understand your thoughts on a "higer" dose, but dosing is based on lean body mass (your bmi is 37.5).
