For about the past year I’ve assumed I’ve had IBS and Hemorrhoids (I often am gassy, I have stomach discomfort regularly, and bowel movements take a long time-and many wipes which eventually lead to a little bright red blood on the paper by the end each time) but recently I’ve noticed a few bright red spots in the stool itself, and the other day I had very dark green stool (I did have a leafy salad prior). The internet says I could be right about IBS and Hemorrhoids or it could be colon cancer

Hello there, This is regarding Nutritional shakes available in the market. One of my relative is very much suggesting to start taking Herbalife Shakes regularly for few months as a nutrition supplement as i have got multiple ailments after my  first delivery. I have migrane, menstrual discomforts, gastritis, acidity, soon infection of cold and cough, varicose veins, and anaemia(Hb 8.5). Hence all who are taking the Herbalife are saying they got benefits a lot within 2weeks. But i need something that can enhance my nutrition imbalance. But currently i am very skeptical about herbalife. Does anyone could throw some light on this if any doc actually agree with these nutritional supplements along with regular diet and medicine ? Just wanted to check from any doctor who would knowabout these in the market and how well they are increasingwith the customers joining. Please do.help me plz.. Thanks in advance.

Dear Dr, One month back I got injury on my left wrist while driving bike. I got the injury due to my need for applying sudden break which resulted in sudden right side twisting of my hand. I had no visible injury or inflammation or any lingering pain but I could not move my wrist side to side or up and down. While doing that , the joint area hurt a lot. After consultation, I was told to use a hand brace for 3 weeks as apparently I have a ligamnet injury. It's 5 weeks now and the pain had reduced significantly while moving hand, but I still have slight discomfort doing things like driving or typing in a keyboard. I wanted to know how long such injuries last and do I need additional treatment. Kindly guide me for the same. Regards

I underwent CABG in September 2014. I have been taking prescribed meds regularly & also consulting cardiologists at 6 month frequency. The feedback from cardiologists based on standard tests is that my cardiac health is perfect. However, I face periodical soreness & discomfort in mid sternum as well as left shoulder back. In a recent visit to a cardiologist, I was told that this is a musculoskeletal issue & could be caused due to vitamin D deficiency. Tests also show low vitamin D. My question is, which specialist do I have to consult for permanent relief & periodical visits if required. Raghavendra Purohit
