I have been battling poor overall health for a long time. I have always had stomach issues. Every time I start workout I get bone or muscle injuries especially back and shoulder issues. And all this despite the fact that I am a very clean eater. I don't eat junk food except one or two meals a week. I don't eat any processed food. My sugar intake is 2 teaspoons a day (for 2 cups of tea). I don't smoke. I drink twice a month maybe. I am a reasonably active person. I have also struggled with stress and depression and that has contributed to hormonal issues (pcod). All this has led me to believe that I probably have poor gut health, may be leaky gut. Is that possible? My research has shown that L glutamine and collagen peptide supplements drastically improve gut health. Can I go ahead and take these supplements? If yes what would be some good brands.

Hi, my wife is 34 weeks pregnant, Age:35...we had interacted with our gynaecologist. As of now things go well now doctor has suggested to do the following 1) Doctor has advised to take Susten SR 300 medicine as it is passes through the placenta so whether that would be worry as doctor has said that it need to be taken to avoid any risk of pre mature delivery as my wife has gestational diabetic and along with that there is more fluid in her uterus so doctor said that it may create some complex as my wife has fibroid as well..so whether is it safe to take medicine. In fact whether taking this medicine will help anything 2) Doctor has said that due to water volume is high in uterus hence we have to plan for early delivery i.e. in 37th Week, so whether is it safe to go for delivery in 37th Week and whether baby will be in mature stage? 3) Due to gestational diabetics whether baby's growth can be effected or whether baby can have diabetics?

I have had symptoms of carpal tunnel in recent weeks. It was originally on my left arm and hand but I believe I have experienced it on my right hand as well. My symptoms were not very bad recently and I had started to notice less symptoms without any treatments, besides sleeping with arm casts on both arms. I went bowling 2 days ago and I used my right hand to play, now I feel pain in my wrist, particularly where the veins are, when I perform specific actions with my right hand. It is not a constant pain I feel without action, it is only felt when I do something such as laying my hand down flat and applying pressure, I feel a pain in my wrist. I also just noticed that when I apply pressure on my right forearm with my left hand finger, it hurts the most. This pain did in fact start the day after I bowled. So I just want some reassurance it is not my carpal tunnel worsening, and maybe some options on what I should do to heal this. (Whether or not it is carpal tunnel)

It has been over 4 months that i've been carrying this pain on my left heel. The first orthopedic i consulted diagnosed it as retrocalcaneal bursitis and prescribed ice pack along with Chymoral forte, and a pain killer. He suggested to have ultrasound therapy for 3 days. Even after the Ultrasound and medication there was very little relief. In fact, by being conscious of the pain, my walking posture changed and i developed pain in my shin. I consulted another orthopedic (since i couldn't get to meet the earlier doc) and he diagnosed this as insertional tendonitis and prescribed T-heal for 1 month and a pain killer when required. He also gave me a sheet with exercises to strengthen my Achilles tendon. Also, suggested to use silicon pads in my shoes, which i did. It's been over a month since, and though the pain is less severe, i am yet to recover completely. Meanwhile, i got the Uric Acid test done and it returned 6.2. Am i having some chronic condition?

Dating this guy for 9yrs now he had way too many ex gf's who dint stay in his past which got alot fights between us he hid the fact that he met his ex and got physical abusive when I confronted him. He's been broke most of these years finally when he got a good job he went ahead and started flirting with this girl in his office who said she likes him and he wanted to take a break from me after 7yrs saying we have issues instead of telling he wants to be with her so that flirting ended when he found out she was doing it for a bet no feelings etc and he asked me to talk to her and tell her he wasn't Interested and that I'm still his gf and he tells me he wasn't Intrested in her and I was making things up when I clearly read all their chats. He's been physically abusive in the past but now inspite of forgiving whatever happened in the past he's screaming and telling me I'm a horrible person who can't trust him we fight everyday and keep patching up only to break up again help!

Hello, I'm a high school student from Indonesia and I'm not sure if I'm depressed or just sad. I mean, I think I've been feeling down or worthless ever since I entered high school because of how people here are different. They're smart, talented and confident about it, unlike those in my junior high, and I guess knowing I'm not 'special' anymore makes me feel worthless. Suicidal thoughts come and go, but what really bothers me is the fact that my grades are slipping because I simply can't focus, thinking little activities to do are chores, getting easily overwhelmed, getting frustrated, lost interest in things I used to love doing, one minute im laughing and the next i'm back feeling down, and so on. I would like to see a Psychiatrist but i'm not sure if my problem is serious enough. I don't want to make this such a big deal, I thought if I pull myself together I'll be fine again but I don't think it's helping. So, do you think I should see a Psychiatrist?

I don't remember the last time I felt happy. I don't know why I just don't feel happy. It's not new, this has been going on since a long time...it's been like this since the time I was 13 or 14. I just feel that things aren't going right in my life. I also feel that things have never worked in my favour, or the way I wanted them to, but that's okay. I've just graduated this year and I've taken a year off to prepare for an exam which requires me to put my heart and soul into the preparation. I really want to study hard, but I just don't feel like studying. I just feel like sleeping all day. I've also put on weight. I don't really like most of the people, so, I don't have friends but I am sure that this is not the reason why I am unhappy. But let me also make it clear that I've never felt like killing myself. In fact, I want to live my life. Is it depression? I think I have mild depression.

Hi, I was diagnosed with tuberculosis two months back when I had high fever and extreme pain in the chest. I underwent x ray, diagnostic fluid aspiration and CT. I started on the medication and my fever subsided. My pain also reduced in intensity. However, I still have pain in every breath. Is this normal to have pain even after 2.5 months? I saw the doctor on my last monthly visit and he said it happens when fluid is drying up. But I just want to understand if this much pain is normal at this point during the treatment! Any idea when I can expect it to go? I am a fitness freak and have always eaten well and healthy and have never smoked in life. In fact I am malnourished in no way.  Is tb purely infection based? Any idea how I can prevent such diseases in future despite all that I had been doing already because this problem has been a major speed brake. Thanks

I have been experiencing floaters for past 2 years. Last month I got a severe attack of sinusitis with eye pain, headache and tooth pain. After having the prescribed tablets the pain subsided. But two days back I had another attack. I had vomitting, severe eye pain above and below the eye and headache. I want to know if floaters and sinusitis is related. I am extremely anxious about the floaters as the internet says it is a warning of retina detachment. Also this time after checking sinus area, doctor says there is a growth. And after having tablets for 7 days only we can scan and check the seriousness of it. I am extremely worried. I am a 35 year old healthy male. I haven't faced major health issues till now and have never got sinusitis before last month, in fact I rarely get a cold. I'm extremely worried. Kindly consult on treating the sinusitis and floater issue?
