I certainly would have you see a doctor and they may order an xray. However, it is unlikely to still be broken 7 years after an injury but your symptoms should be explained. Good luck!

I am sorry, but your case is much too complex for me to comment on via this forum. I would ask your physician team for a referral to a nutritionist and possibly physical therapy or a personal trainer with experience working with complex patients. Good luck!
MRI Cervical Spine

If I had a patient with a similar MRI I would tell them they have evidence of muscle in neck (as evidenced by loss of cervial lordosis), and several slightly misaligned discs. The disc protrusions (slightly misaligned discs) can continue to slip out of place and cause further pain/symptoms in the neck over time. Similar symptoms in my patients will lead me t...
Migraine with seizure-like symptoms

In my patients, I would usually check an MRI of the brain. For migraine prophylaxis (other than Botox which I use frequently) in my patients I also use amitriptyline, atenolol, or gabapentin.

Usually I would check their liver function by blood tests and perhaps have them see a Gastroenterologist.

Often gas (flatus) is from retained stool/constipation. In my patients, I typically recommend OTC senakot and to avoid large amounts of carbs and gas producing foods--like broccoli.
Multiple lymph nodes swollen

You need these lymph nodes evaluated within a week as this would be unusual to be related to a UTI. Infections are very possible but not the only cause. Many students can remain on their parents health plan--is this possible?
Strange things keep happening

If these symptoms appeared in my patient, I would consider seizure and pseudo-seizure (seizure-like activity brought on by stress/anxiety). I would send my patient for a EEG to screen for seizure activity-- this are usually done in the hospital but some patients actually have a type done where they carry the testing box around with them.

Hi Gary--Any other abnormal tests or blood tests? What do you do for work? What area of the country do you live in? What is your heritage?
