Question

Brief stabbing pains in left breast/chest. Some left should blade pain. Doc says heart is fine. Muscular?

Answer 1

Positional: The positional nature of your pain makes me wonder about your spine - as you lean, you flex and extend it which open and close your neural foramina (the canals where the nerve roots exit). Arthritic spurs often encroach on these canals and can cause nerve root irritation. Arthritis in the facet joints of the spine can further cause positional pain.

Answer 2

Too many : Nonspecific issues to give you an answer, so i would suggest you discuss each of these with your primary care doctor. They do not seem to be related to each other.

Answer 3

Stool softener: Keeping your stool soft by taking fiber and water may help. You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948

Answer 4

Neck pain: This needs to be checked to assess the severity if no significant pathology anti inflammatory meds and muscle relaxants may help as will exercise and pt.

Answer 5

Several things : First, try sleeping with one small pillow and use tyjenol or Ibuprofen or Naproxen if no contraindications. If a smoker, stop. Try heat applications and some gentle stretching in a hot shower. Avoid activities that aggravate your neck and avoid prolonged positions. If no better, get evaluated for further options based on findings.

Answer 6

Myofascial Therapy: Think flesh not bone! wellness is vital to controlling any headache or pain issue. Magnesium is also vital. It will help relax the associated muscles, decrease stress, stabilize sleep and help other meds and therapy to work efficiently. Self or profess massage, chiropractor, yoga, heat, stretching all are needed. My favorite in my practice is acupuncture and myofascial tissue release.

Answer 7

Unlikely.: The most fertile time of the month is about 2 weeks from the start of your period assuming that you have a period every 28 days. If your periods are shorter than 28 days, it is possible that you could have hit the fertile time. You will have to wait until you miss your period to get a pregnancy test. There is no way to tell if you are pregnant where you are in your cycle now.

Answer 8

Tinnitus: Tinnitus is not a disease, but a condition that can result from a wide range of underlying causes. Sometimes spontaneous, Aspirin toxicity or in your case, possibly related to your surgery and something as simple as a potassium imbalance. This explains the many home remedies you . It might be best to consult with an ENT for a complete workup as this may or may not have been related to your surgery.

Answer 9

Consult your doctor: You may need to talk to your surgeon or the doctor that did your block. The ringing may or may not be related to the block, that is, it may have simply started at the same time as surgery. If the shoulder block was continued as a continuous infusion of local anesthetic, then it could be related but usually the ringing would stop with the stoppage of the drug.

Answer 10

Allergy: May be allergy to gloves used ( i.E latex).See your doctor if persists. It may also be a new infection (yeast).

Answer 11

Go see your doctor: You need to go and see your doctor. It could represent a yeast infection, it could represent an allergic reaction to the lubricant, or the gloves of the examiner. Your doctor needs to examine the area as well as get more information from you to determine what is wrong. Hope this helps.
