PMR And GCA :: GCA - Tight Painful Place On My Heel
Jun 21, 2014
I'm told it's GCA, biopsy result awaited but consultand said other symptoms highly suggestive of it. As far as I know I do not have PMR but I do have MS and Alopecia. I have noticed over the past few weeks I have a VERY tight painful place on my heel, if I sit with leg extended and pull my foot towards me there is a pain and much tightness on my heel. Is that a symptom of PMR? I keep stretching it but it seems to be getting worse.

I am experiencing pain on the bottom of my right heel. I have been told by several people that could be several things....a stone bruise, bone spur, heel spur, plantar fasciitis or tendonitis. Any ideas?

I'm 36 and had my first outbreak in early June. The rash appeared on my right front abdomen. This week I started feeling like I did last month -- very tired, very nauseous and yesterday two spots appeared on my rt. breast. The physician's assistant I saw today took one look at the spots and said it wasn't shingles because it wasn't in the same area as last time. Do reoccurring shingles have to appear in the same place? Can an outbreak only produce one or two spots?

For about 4 months now, I've been having trouble breathing at work. it started out as 15 minutes to a maximum 1hour. I'm thinking it came around the same time the air conditioning came on at work. Now it can start before my lunch(noon) and go on till I'm home(5:20pm). Which gives me 20 minutes of not being at the office and I can now breath normal that I'm out of the office.

My son is experiencing hives that do not itch and only appear one place at a time on his body. They usually last a day and then a new one will appear and the old one is gone. He says they are tingly and sometimes hurt. This started 2 years ago and lasted for 4 weeks and never appeared again until last week. Both times he had been swimming and was bumped in the face. The welts then appeared a few hours later. He was tested for allergies and found none. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Worried it may be an immune disorder.

Had a surprise appointment with my surgeon today (I am 4 weeks) - he tells me that on reviewing my X Ray, my ceramic cup is not in the correct place - had another X Ray which confirmed it.
He suggests replacing it in January - so that will be nearly 3 months off work, to be followed by a corrective operation, and at least another 3 months off work after that.
I have been through all this, and now I can look forward to doing it all again in 6-8 weeks time. If I wasn't a strong bloke, I would cry
Should I let him do it, or should I get referred somewhere else?

I'm pretty sure my clit is in the wrong place, I've never had any problems with it 'working' however it is situated directly under my urethra, like the top bit of it is sort of attached. Will this cause any health problems?

My chest always feels tight, I get chest pain, my heart beats powerfully and frequently of a night. And I'm so paranoid I have something wrong with my lungs, it's really worrying me now. Firstly, are they symptoms of something serious? And secondly, if they are how do I go about getting my lungs tested?

so 2 days ago I was Masturbating when i was done and cleaned up i noticed my foreskin was pretty swollen I immediately put Ice on it which wasn't pleasant. The swelling as gone down quite a bit now but now when I get an Erection my penis doesn't feel the same and my foreskin doesn't move as easy as it did before this happened I was able to Retract my foreskin very easy and pull it back up with no problem before this now the tip of my Foreskin is very tight when pulled down around the head of my penis and when pulled down further than it seemed to go before this happened as well. I tried getting to the DOC today but i had no luck getting in touch with him.

I was driving my dad to therapy and halfway while driving I felt like a stinging/electrical pain like pulsating a few times and it went away. It lasted a couple of seconds. But it freaked me out. It was like in middle of my stomach like in a straight horizontal like.
I fear a heart attack and idk what to do.
I had 2 blood test done, 2 chest x rays, 1 EKG and they said everything we normal.
I'm not feeling pain now, no weakness, not nauseous, no tingling

I am sorry to say that my experience has been fowl, the operation took 50 mins on the NHS and I think the whole experience was a shock. Before the operation I had a virtually perfect sick record. However, I was too uncomfortable to get back to work for the best part of two weeks. Not the 2 weeks web sites suggest. It's now more than 14 months since I had the surgery and I always feel full and tight in the tesicles. I have libido but too much lingering aching pain after sex puts me off . It is a dreadful hot cold pain aching pain that carries on for a day or two after orgasm and difficult to describe. My sex life down from twice a week to less than once a month. For me it took away the joy of sex. and life
That warm feeling spreading from the groin on coming has gone. I find it very depressing because there seems to be no going back as more intervention appears not to cure these painful problems once started
Maybe I have just been very unlucky but I suspect that I am one a substantial minority
The trouble with medicine and outcomes is that vasectomy looks good on paper. I suspect there are a lot of men privately suffering varying degrees of pain.

my asthma only acts up when I get a cold. 3 weeks ago, got the flu. I coughed up thick green mucus, heavy night sweats,a fever 101-102. Saw doc on day 3.My heart rate was elevated so had an EKG. Was normal. I was very weak and had a very tight chest short of breath and wheezing. By the third day I was coughing dry. Felt couldn't get enough air in to cough. Prescribed Cefprozil, Tussionex and Albuterol. A wk later I felt more energy but doc said I was still wheezing and crackling. Talking makes me cough. I was given Azithromycin, Decadron, prednisone.3rd appt still wheezing and tight and now dizzy.Lost 8 lbs. no appetite.Had chest x-ray and blood test.no results yet. I now take Doxycycline,Clarithromycin Prednisone and Albuterol. Yesterday I was so dizzy I considered the ER.I don't cough at night anymore. Today less dizziness, + energy but pain in upper back & sides.Voice is different, still crackling sounds & tight chest and coughing. Is the asthma causing all this or just a bad bug?

I recently had balanitis caused by a fungal infection. The doctor reckons it came on because I'd been on a strong course of antibiotics for something unrelated which had weakened my immune system a few weeks earlier... I was prescribed an antifungal and steroid cream to apply twice a day and told to continue applying it for a few days after the symptoms had gone away.
Now that I appear to be balanitis free I've been left with a tight foreskin. It only started to become a problem a few days into treatment and made it hard to apply the cream underneath the foreskin and to the glands.
Before I had balanitis my foreskin was completely normal functioning.
I can still retract it over the glans now but with some difficulty. It is effecting my ability to achieve a full erection.
Is this something that will go away gradually by itself? Or do I require further treatment?

If you haven't got a skin disease then i think the main cause of phimosis is damage to the 3 spongy chambers of the penis. I believe this is what happened to me.
If you apply a lot of pressure in masturbation you may damage the 3 spongy chambers. You can either grip too hard on the shaft in a death grip. Or you can push down on the penis or rub the foreskin forward.
So allow the penis to repair. Do not masturbate for a while. I suggest at most once every 4 days.
Once the spongy chambers are restored to their proper position. This will push out against the skin and cause new skin to grow.
Also, with the penis/spongy chambers repaired, you will get more spontaneous erections. These long-lasting, strong and hard, spontaneous erections are what you want. They will push out against the tight skin and cause new skin to grow.
Another thing: with the 3 spongy chambers restored and inflated back to their natural position, there will be more 'give' when trying to pull the foreskin down.
In order to help with stopping masturbation and porn - take cold showers - especially before bed.
Another thing - learn your triggers. What do you do right before you look at porn or masturbate? Is it a particular website? Was it at a certain time always? So just think about it - especially when you relapse - think - "what was i doing - what website was i on?". Spend some time on this subject in your head. That way it is easier to avoid triggers.
Finally - make sure you have hobbies to fill up your time. Think of things to do besides porn and masturbation. If you know you normally masturbate and look at porn at a certain time - try doing something different at that time and have something planned about what you will do instead.
Anyone who has phimosis, please reply to this and tell me if you are willing to try this method out or whether you think your masturbation habits could have caused your phimosis.

I have a bit of a problem with my foreskin as it gets tight when it have an erection and during sex sometimes splits. I never used to have this problem as it has only happened within the last year or so. I have been sexually active for about 10 years and the problem has only arisen over the last year or a bit longer. I think it was when I split it the first time during sex and then it sort of lost its ability to stretch as much as it used to. Sometimes it's fine once it heals but then after a long sex session it just starts getting weak and tearing again. I can see it might just be the ring that needs a bit of stretching but I'm not sure.
