I'm really worried about my mom. She had a TAH BSO surgery and about a week later, she started getting pain in her left leg. We got a Doppler test done, and it mentioned GSV varicosities. The hospital started her on blood thinner injections and she stayed there for four days before getting discharged. But she's still in a lot of pain and can't walk properly. Even when she elevates her leg while sleeping, sometimes the pain gets worse. She's on bed rest now. Can you offer any advice on how to help her manage this pain?

Your mother seems to be experiencing complications post TAH BSO surgery, specifically related to GSV varicosities in her left leg. It's good that she received blood thinner injections during her hospital stay. To help alleviate her current pain and discomfort, she can try using over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, she should continue to elevate her leg while resting, and apply cold compresses to the painful area. Compression stockings can also help improve blood flow in the legs and reduce pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to follow up with her healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."

View allI'm 35 and have been dealing with high blood pressure. For the past week, I've been noticing a strong pulse in my stomach, and I've had lower right abdomen pain that's been going on for about four months. I just had an ultrasound scan done. Can you take a look at my report and let me know if there's any chance I have an aortic aneurysm?
I don't have access to your ultrasound report, so I cannot confirm if you have an aortic aneurysm. However, if you are experiencing a pulsating sensation in your stomach along with lower right abdomen pain, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. These symptoms could indicate various conditions, including a possible aneurysm. It is crucial to discuss your symptoms and ultrasound findings with your doctor to determine the appropriate course of action.

I've got this thing going on with my leg where the blood has clotted around this Marathi word like it's all red and clotted under the skin around the infected area. It's kind of worrying me. What do you think might be going on or how serious is this? Should I be doing something about it right away?
The symptoms you described, including a visible clot and redness around the infected area, suggest a skin abscess or furuncle; in Marathi, "Karat" often refers to a boil or abscess, which typically requires medical attention, such as incision and drainage, antibiotics, or warm compresses to promote healing and prevent further complications.
