Accepted Answer

It sounds like your back pain could be related to musculoskeletal issues, posture, or even early signs of bone health concerns like osteoporosis. The calcium you're taking is a good step, but a full evaluation by a doctor (likely a orthopedic specialist, or neurologist,physiotherapist) is recommended to get to the root of the problem and receive appropriate treatment.
Make sure to continue with gentle stretching, focus on posture, and consider physical therapy if the pain continues. If the pain worsens or new symptoms develop, its important to consult a specialist for further evaluation.

Question 3

I'm really worried because I had an HIV ELISA test for my visa, and the result was 0.14, which I know is negative. But why didn't it come out as 0? Is it even possible for someone to actually get a 0 on their HIV ELISA test?

Accepted Answer

In HIV ELISA testing, a result of 0 does not typically occur as it indicates no presence of antibodies at all, which is rare. A result of 0.14 is considered negative for HIV, as it is below the cutoff value for a positive result. This means that there were no significant levels of HIV antibodies detected in your blood sample. It is important to continue practicing safe sex and regular testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.

Possible Causes of Spleen Enlargement*

1. *Fatty liver*: Although your fatty liver is grade 1, it might be contributing to the spleen enlargement.
2. *Portal hypertension*: Elevated bilirubin (1.6) and liver enzymes (SGOTSGPT) could indicate portal hypertension, which can cause spleen enlargement.
3. *Other potential causes*: Although your tests were mostly normal, other possible causes of spleen enlargement include lymphoma, leukemia, or a spleen disorder.

*Recommendations*

1. *Follow-up ultrasound*: Schedule a follow-up ultrasound in 2-3 months to monitor the spleen size.
2. *Liver health*: Continue with udiliv 300 and vitamin E to support liver health.
3. *Weight management*: Maintain your weight loss efforts, as excess weight can exacerbate fatty liver and spleen enlargement.
4. *Consult a gastroenterologist*: Seek a consultation with a gastroenterologist to further investigate the cause of spleen enlargement and fatty liver.
