OK but can it be possible

I am still baffled how seriously you took every pinch of that statement to heart...

There is simply nothing to assume with "excess sperm". If at all there is, that should be everyman's dream.

Greetings to all the doctors here helping and educating people with health issues.

My issue has a rather long history but I will shorten it.
I have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee but that's not the only joint I feel pains. My entire back, jaw, shoulder, hip. It usually starts with knee pain after physical activity or just a normal daily routine, then my ear starts burning up and a very warmth feeling. The following days, other joint like my back and ankles also starts to become rigid and painful while the ear gets hotter, inflamed, tingling and itchy. I usually get very sharp needle-like pains in my ear. My eyes are not left out as they also suffer the same fate. It's either one side gets inflamed, itchy and redder than the other or they both experience same.

I have been taking diclofenac, arthocare, supplements. On some occasions, I have been prescribed norflex but it gets to a period where my movement practically becomes difficult and this leaves my depressed and confused.
This started 9 years ago and within these period, I really have not been able to actualize my goals.

Please I need your help!

Pls docs

Pls docs

Let's start from here.
So how did you know the nature of your problem is osteoarthritis?
If you agreed, it was a doctor or a trained pathologist that had the diagnosis done, can you show any medium to relate to it or even confirm it?

Diagnosis was done by physical examination and X-ray test of the knee.
I had presented myself with complaints of swollen knee [both knees], joint pain around my neck, shoulder and elbow. I saw a doc in gopd and he instructed I take an X-ray and come back after it was ready. Went on the appointed day and he said I had osteoarthritis.
The X-ray is with the hospital so I will have another done soon.

Yours is not different, we have seen numberless of couples who find it difficult to have children several years after marriage.
Though it is early to get worried but at 5 months of marriage, it is really not official to seek gross explanation to why your not carrying pregnancy for the time being. For the now, kindly rest your nerves and enjoy yourself. Pregnancy never comes by trying to keep a worrying spirit about it. It is not a good habit.
If I were you:
1. In preparation for the appointment, I would keep a long list of all questions I will need to ask the doctor.
2. In preparation for the appointment, I would engage in keeping all the symptoms and changes I have observed about myself in a record. This will produce a rich conversation between you and the doctor.

Thanks doc. I have a concern, I am rhesus negative while my husband is rhesus positive, I av had a medical abortion done some years ago without d necessary injection taken. can ds affect my chances of being able to conceive?

Hi doctors in the house .

Pls I need a recommendations about this [b] Rashes[/b]that has been all over my body for more than a month now. It started from my right hand to my left hand then all over my body (arm, neck,back,lapses , stomach ). When it started I used to scratch it because I don’t what it is.

I have been using different types of anti itches eg golden bond anti-itch lotion, maximum strength hydrocortisone Ointment, cream etc.

Couple of weeks ago it used to itch me a lot and force me to scratch it.

My main issue now is that , this leaves a lot of black spots on my body and it scare, and worry me a lot because of my skin.

Last week someone recommended a soap called Blue power CARBOLIC soap. Since I have been using it , I noticed it has started drying off and peeling out something white whenever I scratch it but still itch me a lot at midnight or early morning.

I will add some few photos.

Pls what can I use to make this go away forever and what can I use for the black spots?

Thank you all.

Why haven't you gone to the clinic for proper evaluation and checkup?

No, it won't affect your chances of carrying pregnancy.

With your complaints it is right to presume that it may be Osteoarthritis. But with those ear and eye inflammation, I may need to ask some certain question and then returns back to that bone-joint degenerative condition.

How did this all begin?
Have you had any throat infection before?

Apart from the joint problem, do you have any other health problem?

Yes.
Infact , i visited the national ear care center kaduna and was diagnosed with an infection, staph something, can't really remember. Ciproflaxin was prescribed.

About how it all started.
It happened in 2010. I was training intensively with focus on becoming a professional athlete. I had cause to visit a dentist because of jaw pains, and was diagnosed with tmj.

Then I did something stupid. Told a fellow colleague about my jaw problem and he said he knew someone who had same issue which was corrected successfully. That was how I was introduced to a local masseuse aka bone setters. The process involves massaging my spine, neck and jaw line for close to a month, thrice a week. Through out those weeks, I was still taking norflex prescribed by the dentist pending when the wires were supposed to be fixed to rectify my bite. So, foolishly, I was abusing medication and endangering my life.

After a while, I was always tired and wouldn't go 300metres without urinating and drinking half litre of water. That was when my body
system started working against me. My ear was so swollen with pus and entire back hot from the aboniki balm that was used i could hardly step out because I was so drained physical, battled with fatigue, frequent thirst, little activity leaves me in pains. Coping with day to day activities became surprisingly difficult, so I turned to sports as an avenue to be fit again, but it turned out bad because my knees frequently started getting swollen also the places where I was massaged too.

This prompted me to visit the hospital and that was when I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis.
Physical activity is a complete trigger for these symptoms
My knee and elbow joint make popping noise when I move them.

I have learnt my lesson the hard way now I know how valuable it is to follow professionals instead of quacks.
I know I can't back to how healthy I used to be but I just want to find out what I'm suffering from. A name to this lifetime of torture and hopefully, maybe glimpse of hope or pain management

2Ballz:

No, it won't affect your chances of carrying pregnancy.

Thank you so much for ur timely response, I really appreciate

His private part is a mess.. Bumbs everywhere..his body Also has spots

Okay, that's good. Now was any test done to confirm a staphylococcal infectious is responsible or you guys just had suspicion over it due to the bumps formations?

Yes! From your complaint I know you might have had infection about the head and neck but my best bet was the throat since that is more among Africans.
The infection could have resulted from improper odontal management or mainly from the temporal mandibular joint syndrome. The infection became chronic leading to the problems you are facing now.

Since the TMJ is closer to the middle ear in fact in front of it, it is very easy to know why the infection had a spread to the ears. If the infection were longer enough there are likable chances that it could have ended in causing Meningitis. So, you were lucky. Along the line you may have been expose to these causative agents again or within those times of poor managment your body was trying to bring up protection as in forming antibodies only ends in the antibodies or factor assuming such capacity in destroying the joint cartilages and chopping off its synovium. This is why you are experiencing this problem.

I see both Rheumatic arthritis and osteoarthritis in union. And if you don't manage it properly, spread can go up the meninges, down heart or kidney.

What do we do now?

Thank you very much.

I have accepted the true nature of things - arthritis has no cure,no exceptions. Living like this is hard already, so I'm looking at a proper and effective management plan that will help reduce pain, enabling me to run my day-to-day activities.

And lastly, a specialist likely rheumatologist. They are hard to locate around here( North).

Top Of The morning to all the doctors.
I'm just recovering from typhoid and for some days now my stomach has been in a total disorder
I'm suffering from indigestion and the most annoying part is that I can't throw-up or poo to relieve my stomach. It's like my stomach has two layers a solid one at the top and a lower one that contains liquid such that when I try to through up the solid layer blocks my chest making it hard. It's really affecting me, can't sleep properly, can't walk, can't eat and I can't even sit at a spot comfortable. I'd be glad if someone can recommend a drug or drink that can help.

I have a kid brother suffering from scalp psolarisis, I.e his scalp is mostly dried up which forms thick scales underneath.
Any recommendations will be highly appreciated.
Although there's no cure for scalp psolarisis but I heard it can be controlled or managed to leave a comfortable life. This condition has made him depressed most of the time and he's 22.

Kindly, have him placed on an appointment with a doctor for a physical checkup especially if the pain have been refractory to palliatives and coming from the region of the abdomen where the surgery was done or if at all it is diffusive by character. It may just be an infection as complication or probably something coming anew.

I do hope he kept to post-operative Dos-and-Don'ts after the removal of the vermiform appendix?
