Question 1

my husband has dozens of lumps on his armpits that are elongated almost like tabs of skin and they are painful.  they seem to get bigger with time.

Accepted Answer

Acrochordons: These tags of skin are more prominent in some families and more numerous on obese people. They are removed quickly and easily without sutures or dressings. It is nearly painless, OK to get wet, heals in about a week.  They are also common around the neck, under the breasts, and in the groin. They are common on the eyelids and just as easily removed. They never become malignant.

Question 2

i saw my doctor last year for a swollen armpit. she advised that it was just a fat tab...but i feel like something is there...?

Accepted Answer

Get removed: If it worries you get removed. This way you can find out absolutely. A dermatologist or plastic surgeon could remove it for you.

Question 3

my father's right arm is hurting him badly he cant lift anything up without pain (pain increases) even when resting he is taking melga tab. (vitm. b)?

Accepted Answer

Needs X-rays : A few things may have happened with your father's shoulder that is causing him this type of pain. The first thing to do is get plain X-rays of the shoulder. If there isn't any fractures or shoulder separation or dislocation, an MRI should be done to look for a tear in the rotator cuff.

Question 4

hi i have had severe pain in my arm and shoulderblade for a month now but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. my doctor gave me anti inflam tabs?

Accepted Answer

See below: Problems like these can only be correctly handled by your doctor in person.  He/she needs to listen to you, perform an examination and possibly run labs or other tests. That's the only way he/she can find out what's going on and what to do about it.

Question 5

can i take a half of a acetaminophen-codeine # 300-30 and a 500 mg tylenol tab before going to bed i broke my arm and have reduced my pain medication to  one half tab morning and night.

Accepted Answer

Taking : Taking too much tylenol could be dangerous.  That amount you listed is reasonable, but any more then that could be dangerous to your liver.  You can take advil (ibuprofen) instead of the tylenol and it is safe with acetaminophen/codeine.

Question 6

i have noticed that my blood pressure is different in each arm though, and i was wondering if that is normal. "i have been on blood pressure medication(diovan hct tab 320/25mg) for over a year now to help me with my migraines, and it also helps my blood p

Accepted Answer

A : A difference in blood pressure from one arm to the other can be due to arterial disease, with hardening of the arteries leading to a narrowing of the blood vessel that supplies one of the arms; specifically the one with the lower blood pressure reading.  This is generally seen in older patients with established vascular disease and is usually not dangerous.  The blood pressure in the higher reading arm should be used when making decisions regarding medications for high blood pressure.  Differential blood pressure readings, especially when lower in the left arm, can also be due to disease in the aorta, which can affect younger patients and can be very serious.  From what you have described i would advise you to have this evaluated further.

Question 7
