Dr. Love ONLY, The oral surgeon mentioned replacing a person's jaw bone with metal due to the unavailability of 'zometa-bone' from the leg. I assumed it would be embedded and covered with gum, but now I'm concerned about it being exposed inside the mouth. I asked if a bridge could be attached, but he said there would be no place to attach it. I'm worried about the disfiguring appearance and its impact on my grandchildren. Additionally, I have some pinkness around the exposed area that comes and goes, and I'm concerned about the implications of this inflammation.

I am a chronic pain patient with severe scoliosis, particularly affecting my upper back, neck, and left arm. I was taking prescribed pain medication (10 mg of oxycodone 4 times a day), but a urine test showed no drugs in my system, which I believe is incorrect. The pain is sharp and stabbing in my upper back and aches in the rest of my back. I am currently taking 5 mg of flexeril 2x daily and 10 mg at night for my back, but it's not effective. I also have a history of panic attacks and was prescribed geodon, which I haven't had a panic attack in 2 years and want to titrate off. Can these urine tests be wrong, and what can I do for better pain management and to safely titrate off geodon?

I did not fast before my NASH Fibrosure test. Will this affect the results, and how should I proceed if I ate cereal, fresh fruit, and milk before the test?

I have a white patch of skin and acne on my butt, which is raw and scarred easily. Is it fungal, and why is the skin raw? Also, what is a good way to remove scars on my butt?

My father thinks he may have taken a double dose of Pradaxa and Sotalol this morning. He said his only problem right now is extreme gastric reflux. Has your father used Pradaxa or anything similar before? Has he seen a doctor about this? Anything else in his medical history you think the doctor should know?
