I know it's when the Subclavian artery is stenosed and it steals the oxygenated blood from the verterbral artery to feed the arm, but can you explain the path ect.

So i recentely had a blood test and the doctor is concerned a bit on my calcium level. It says that between 8.5-10.5 is the normal amount. Mine is 12.5 and the doc wants me to come back in another week to get another blood test to see if it changes. I also have some high liver numbers that he was concerned about. Doc says it could be fatty liver or from the ADD meds i'm on. I also have some pulsing sensation on left side of stomach. it is sore at times and i'm noticing it more and more now. any info would be appreciated. thanks

I went to the doctor because my knees were swollen to the point i could barely walk and was in excruciating pain. My ANA was very high and he stated i needed to see an endochronologist asap. I have not yet seen one do to booking problems, but my knees are getting better. He doesnt feel it is rheumotoid arthritis. Since the knees are getting better now, do i still need to see the specialist?

My mother shared this with me recently, and did not say it was in confidence. My father is 72, me, my brother and sister are all adults. He has also started throwing up blood, so I assume it is getting into the serious stage. I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but can't decide if I should say something or just keep it to myself.

I have a hard time breathing sometimes.
This has been like this for 4 weeks now.
I'm 22.
My doctor thinks its asthma so she assumed that it is.
She doesn't seem to think its nesscary to have a test done.
I got xrays done & they come out normal.
What ALL could be wrong with me if its not asthma?
Wouldn't I have more symptoms if it wasn't?
Why or Why not?
The prednoise pills that I have took for it help.
What ALL does everyone think?
And why?

I'v noticed that i had lice about 2 weeks going on 3 weeks ago now but that is just when i noticed so i dont know if i'v had them longer. My head is itchy a lot but has been less itchy as of late. However, when i go in a pool it seems like my head is immediatly itchy. Is that the chlorine or something?I have applied the lice shampoo (ex: RID) 3 times now and i use the comb that comes with it after each. I feel as if the shampoo is killing all of the live head lice but the nits just wont go away. We spent almost an hour yesterday using the gel and combing but i looked today and i still found some nits/eggs today. I am absolutley sick of theses buggers and want them out. Shaving my head however is out of the question. HELP!!

Hi, I'm 22 and I have carpal tunnel syndrome. I have tried everything and it's become so bad that I now have to wear braces 24 hours a day.

My doctor is recommending surgery and I'm wondering if anyone else has had it and if it worked for them. Plus, how long it took to recover. I'm a full time student and I use my hands for work.

I'm a writer, and I'm looking for information on how injuries affect the body. For example, I'd like to accurately portray what happens if someone dies when hit over the head with a blunt object. Is there an online guide that helps writers with problems like this? I know about the book Body Trauma, but I'd like to find a free guide before I buy anything.

My friend has chromes disease and is very frustrated with it. I wish i knew what to say to her to help her feel better but everytime she has to go to the hospital is just makes her feel worse and worse. She feels like she has to give up on her life (not in a suicide kind of way) inorder to deal with chromes. She finds it hard to keep up with her friends and family becasue she is always in the hospital or getting blood transfusions. Any advice on how i can help her?

But recently she went to get a urine and blood test.. the blood test came out fine everything good and there were signs of blood in the urine. she went to get it x-rayed and she got the results and they found and nodule on the lesion on the kidney.

1) miagraines with visual disturbances, dizziness, black outs and an arachnoid cyst on brain left middle cranial fossa (which was discovered after I blacked out while driving.
2) Heart problems specifically moderate aortic regurtitation, and all other valves also regurgitate mildly. Dylistolic dysfunction grade 3. I currently take 5 pills a day for congestive heart failure.
3) Digestive problems, diverticulitis, ischemis colitis, on going abdominal pain and complications.
4) Spine- transitional vertebre causing problems and pain, a buldging disk laying on a nerve root. Forminal stenosis, arthrits and facet joint hypertrophy.

Life for me has become a living hell. PAIN, PAIN everyday.
