December 06, 2011

I take Metformin 500 mg in the morning and at night for diabetes. After I got a cortisone shot in my shoulder today, my sugar went up a lot. How long should I expect this to last?

I’ve had sciatica for a couple of weeks now. I’d like to exercise, but I don’t seem to get any better or worse whether I do or don’t. The pain is worse at night and first thing in the morning. I’ve had X-rays, but they don’t show anything. Can I exercise 4 days a week to keep on my fitness schedule? My back doesn’t hurt at all — it’s just the sciatica.

Can recent vaccinations cause a false positive elevation in an antibody test for rheumatoid arthritis? I recently had a hepatitis and HPV vaccine and two weeks later, my test came back with an elevated level of 36.

I am 57 years old. I’ve had intermittent bouts of diarrhea and sharp cramps in my stomach for the last 3 weeks. Normally it happens in the middle of the night, and after eating a higher-fat meal. What might cause this?

I felt sharp pains on my right side and below my rib cage. I thought it was menstrual cramps, but I still haven’t gotten my period. What might be causing these pains?

I have soreness in the ball of my foot for about one month. It hurts to walk. I also notice that moving my big toe causes pain. What could it be?

September 07, 2011

I sometimes get muscle cramps so severe that I can't use the stairs. I am into weight lifting, but never work the same muscle groups on back-to-back days. I get plenty of water and potassium. Any ideas what could cause this?

August 30, 2011

I have type 2 diabetes. My blood sugar runs high in the morning, especially if I am in pain. I have arthritis and neuropathy in my feet and lower legs. Why is my sugar running high in the morning, especially when my pain is worse?

August 17, 2011

What kinds of exercise do you recommend for a person with fibromyalgia?

August 16, 2011

I have a hip click. I am only 30 years old. Aren’t I too young to have this? What causes it? Does it go away by itself or is surgery needed?
