Open convo: What’s my symptom? What do I have?

[Anonymous]

About once a month or every other, I get an excruciating-stop-me-in-my-tracks pain in the little bone that protrudes just under the knee/very top of my leg. It's bone deep and the most painful pain I've ever had. It's very very quick. Comes and goes about 2x. No pattern around when it happens. Always the same knee.

low grade UTI. The tests don't pop positive until the bacteria reaches a certain level. Doesn't mean it's not there.

Sharp stabbing pain in hands and feet that goes away quit but usually this happens before my period starts.

Now I’m feeling good, but yesterday and today.. everytime I eat, within 5 minutes, I have to go to the bathroom. It’s like immediate.

Small breakfast - bathroom
Small snack mid morning - bathroom
Lunch - I was surprised, again.. didn’t even finish my sandwich and had to pause and go.

I’ll start back on the probiotics I had been taking, but anything else I can do?

Classic SIBO.

My tongue is getting irritated on the right hand side where it seems to be resting on my teeth in a (proper) neutral tongue position.

As in, my tongue is at the front of the mouth, cleaved to the roof; not mouth breathing, all comfy except this one side where there's not enough room or my bite has changed. It drives me nuts at night when I try to go to sleep.

See a dentist.

It started after I saw a dentist and got a filling filled. I'm thinking of seeing an orthodontist. Anyone else?

Sounds like they altered your bite. I'd go back to the same dentist and have them re-evaluate.

I thought it could be from a necklace I wear every day, but the splotches were there today and my necklace was above my clothes all day.

Red blotchy skin on breasts can in very rare cases be a sign of Inflammatory Breast Cancer. More than likely that isn’t it but it is worth taking a picture and showing your doctor the next time you see them.

Agree. Any skin changes on the breasts that keeps coming back needs to be checked out by your doctor.

The filling needs to be filed down. Find another dentist.

Itchy scalp. Patch of itchy scaly skin on my wrist that doesn't respond do hydrocortisone cream. Then last night I also started feeling very itchy in my private areas. I also have pain in my elbow and general fatigue, like I'm getting the flu but I'm not actually getting the flu.

Psoriasis?

Could be chin, cheek, nose, jaw, temple.
So once a month, I get one. I used to battle acne but no more. My entire face is very clear, except.. like I said, cystic zit that is never in the same place. Takes me 2-3 weeks to treat and fade, and then a new one arrives.
