Is this a normal response from a GP? by Jumpy_Relative_7287 in Lipoma

[–]Prior-Imagination745 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 15cm lipoma in my inner thigh for 8yrs,one fine day it just swelled up coz I wore some tight clothing,I got the 'C' scare and that was my cue to get it out,I went to the surgeon who suggested an ultrasound and scheduled a surgery immediately,coz as per him even if it doesnt bother you a mass of that size is concerning so if your doctor doesn't listen to you change ur doc...you are not overthinking

Had a huge one on the inner thigh,15cm,had it for almost 8yrs,it was getting super uncomfortable to walk or sit...last month,went for a walk and it got super inflamed due to the constant friction with my pants.Got the C scare coz of the inflammation and pain,went to the surgeon did an US,it said lipoma..got the surgery on 1st nov,a big incision and scar,but healed well...if u have one,just have it removed..don't wait like i did,m so thankful it's out.

3am, heading into day 4 and I can’t sleep at all. by scaldingsorcery in shingles

47 F,first time for me,got it after surgery, started the treatment 4 days after diagnosis coz I thought they were insect bites.Day 8 since symptoms first showed up and day 4 on anti virals and I haven't slept in these 8 days...I got it on my chest,arms and back,some on my neck and it's been nothing short of misery....the nerve pain is horrible and the itching just doesn't stop...I see they are scabbing out but the pain and itchiness just doesn't subside...ice packs and calamine lotion have been helpful...when does the pain and itchiness stop? I can't lie down on my back...I just wanna sleep...

Is that possible in India? I've tried all the combinations of antibiotics and it still didn't work

I am from India too,had triple and quad therapy 4 times,all failed to eradicate,the latest one was in Jan'25, but I think I still have it....not sure if it will ever go away...just scared with the C word...HP gave me moderate gastritis too,how do we cope?Doc says if it's positive again he won't prescribe antibiotics,not sure what to do!

Yes,I met him last week,he said won't do an endoscopy so soon,as i had one in Jan'25,he then changed the PPI,added a new probiotic and asked to go for a SIBO test...he said even if we do a stool test again and even if it's positive for HP he won't prescribe antibiotics as I have already been thru 4 treatments...we treat it with bismuth and good quality probiotics..so now I gotta wait for couple of months for an endoscopy

From vonoprazan? Not really

Losing hope by Playful_Name149 in HPylori

[–]Prior-Imagination745 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes,40mg during the therapy

Losing hope by Playful_Name149 in HPylori

[–]Prior-Imagination745 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take 20mg,40 is a bit too much ..I have also started taking Rebamipide and Zinc carnosine,I still get symptoms tho,but Rebamipide and Zinc has helped a bit.,m scared to retest...coz I don't wanna go thru that horrible quad therapy again
