vaginal pain and bleeding

Brianna

Last night my boyfriend and I were in the middle of having sex. By accident he pulled out and stabbed me in the clit with his penis. I was immediately in pain and we stopped having sex. A few minutes later i realised that i was bleeding. The pain is on the right side of my clit but i cannot tell where the bleeding is coming from. the bleeding stopped after about 20 minutes. But i'm in pain when i urinate or sit up straight. I also show blood when i pee as well. because of all of the pain i tried to check and see if i could tell where the damage was With a mirror. when i did so i began bleeding again and it hasn't stopped. what is wrong with me and what can i do?

Answer this question!

broken left collar bone

Brian

Hi, I broke my left collar bone, and was told that it was just cracked and would heal normally. It's been about 3 years now, and I've started to pitch with my left arm. When I throw, the collar bone clicks about half the time. Sometimes it's really bad though, and feels like it gets caught. This really messes up my throwing, becauseI have to stop mid throw on occasion. Will this heal over time? What do you reccomend I do? Thanks, Brian

nero

cocoaliyah

Ill try to do this as short as possible. HIV and hep c positive. Cd4 450, undetactable viral load. Lowest cd4 170. Went untreated for 10 years, now am on norvir, telzir, ziagen. Happy, healthy and doing well until 3 years ago when treated with prednisone for infection. Got paranoid and manic on 3rd or 4th day. Wento to hospital and was diagnosed with depression with psychotic features. Diagnosis didn't sit well with me as I didn't feel that was the case at all. Was put on celexa and risperidone. Zombie pretty much for next 2 years. Started having obsessions and depression. Hospitalized again and was taken off pyschiatric meds cold turkey. Became suicidal and stopped HIV meds. 4 months later became unable to function with extreme amnesia, obsessions, dream like state, not able to remember conversations and when do they are like a dream. Extrememly suicidal, not able to read or understand the words, mixing up words,dazed and out of it as my family would describe it. Severe behaviour changes and cognitive decline. MMSE is normal however further cognitive testing was significantly impaired. Medicines ie;oxycontin, benadryl trigger this state to become much worse. Took an oxycontin and ended up in hospital for a week with amnesia, things were familiar but couldn't remember anything, could barely speak with racing heart, couldn't write or read very well. Crazy thoughts. Sleep is crazy like a TV screen going crazy and wake up confused and disoriented. Had to quit my job. I do stupid things like wander on the highway with no shoes. Seen psychiatrists and they are all saying there is something medical going on and they can't help me. HIV specialist is saying I cant have dementia or HIV infection at my CD4 counts. They say there is a remote possibility of seizure activity. I cant live like this anymore and if you have any ideas of what could be happening that would be great as suicide I feel is my only option. Sorry for the short hand writing. I was trying to get it all in in a small space. THanks so much. Oh, I have had an MRI and EEG and both were normal. Lots of blood work to test for hormones and stuff. Triglicerides extremely high 7.7
Liver is okay. SLight fever the last few days but has gone away now.lymphnodes have been slightly inflamed for the last few months, since things got really bad. Most important in all of this is that I don't get fevers or have typical symptoms and was very sick 4 years ago with mono and a massive tooth infection that I had random symptoms with. It wasn't until I went septic and had lock jaw and all my muscles were sore that they found the infection. For 10 months my stomach was ballooned out because my doctor said I was swallowing bacteria. I had blood in my mouth but no swelling and no fever. I have been tested for mitochondrial disorders and all is well there. All of my symptoms seems to be emotional however have had considerable weakness in the last several weeks ie; holding hands over head to wash hair or packing groceries is difficult. Please help because I have set a date for some things and need help soon.

Answer this question!

Numbness right arm

Roger

Hello,

A couple of months ago, I was in a car accident. Another party struck the side of my car. Side curtain air bags and a seat belt saved me from serious injury. About 10 days after the accident I started to get a periodic numbness sensation on my right shoulder down to my elbow. It's been around for the past 6 weeks. No pain and very little discomfort just the numbness that goes away in a few seconds.

I've seen a chiropractor but did not have much luck. Got MRI's of the neck and shoulder. Just went and saw my family MD who put me on a steroid pack for 6 days. No effect so far.

My question: my doc suggests the next step be an EMG and nerve testing. This procedure does not look like fun and I am wondering is it worth it? Even if they confirm there's an pinched or impingement of a nerve, will the treatment change (if there is a treatment)?

Cost is not a factor for the tests. There is really no pain and I have not noticed any loss of strength to the bicep or triceps area. I'm still playing golf and tennis without any issues (except for occasional numbness sensations).

Two interesting items (1) stress will bring the numbness sensation, which make sense and (2) if I lift my right arm up above my head the sensation goes away immediately.

MRI results for cervical (C5)

C4-5: bilateral neural foraminal narrowing from osteophyte formation, right greater than left, is seen with no disc herniation or spinal stenosis or cord compression

C5-6: a broad-based disc osteophyte complex with right lateral recess and neural foraminal narrowing is seen without cord compression or flattening
