i have scoliosis and my spine is bent to the right. it shows from the x ray that i took a few days ago that the angle is 58 degrees! yes i know thats terrible and i will probably need surgery.i might go to canada or paris to do it if needed. they said i should try the braces first to see if they can fix it since my bones are apparently still soft so hopefully that will work... but just in case i need the surgery can someone please tell me what happens... how they fix it and i know they use metal rods to straighten it but they take it off later right? umm does it leave marks and it is very likely to be successful right? someone please please reply. Thanks

I can never stay motivated to work out. when i do it i feel good but its hard to find time and if i dont get around to it for a few days i usually stop for months. I have a decent body but ive gotten lazy again lately and im starting to get out of shape. wanna nip it in the bud. I have reasons to stay in shape, i play hockey for my college and i love doing it, but even with that its hard to find motivation to lift. any suggestions/help?

ok so here is my story.im 18 male and i have a skin tag way under my leg near my groind. Kind of near my balls because they hit it but it is on my leg. I had it quite a long time but it is now starting to bother me. I just came back from florida for vacation and its very humid and hot. So im walking allday and my legs near my groind get irrated but the 1st time it was actually my leg so i put gold bond powder. That seemed like it affected my skin tag and i guess shrunk it. Now i can feel it whenever i move my legs a certain way and it never happened before until a few days ago. i dont want to have it taken off ( yet ) if it gets worse ill consider. But is it common for them to shrink? I got a little little skin tag near the top of my armpit which is about 5 times smaller than the other and no issues with that and i had that 1 most my life. Im not overweight either. real answeers please. And do they fall off by themselves?

I know I have a problem. It is called psychogenic excoriation. It is where you constantly pick at sores or scabs. It is related to OCD- which I have. Does anyone else do this? Is there a support group somewhere?

i've tried trowing play dough to the ceiling, driving around at night, smoking pot, meditating, doing a lot of exercise, listening to calm music , going out to take photos.


what works the best for you?

Have you ever thought like that? Have you ever wished you were dead? Have you been impatient with life and living? You were just holding on? Have you ever felt like that?

I have always worn gold. Usually it is 10k just for strength. I stopped wearing my wedding ring (solitaire, wrap, and anniversary band) which is made from 10k yellow gold. I wear gold in my ears, but only in my upper lobe. My lower lobe piercing doesn't like any kind of metal in it for long- it starts to itch. Anyway, I wore my wedding ring the other night for about 5 hours and got a welt around my finger and it was very red and itchy. It seems everytime I try to wear my ring, it does this. Could I be allergic to it after all these years? What can I do if I am allergic to it? Any suggestions? Thanks!

I get an erection at the drop of a hat. If I see an attractive girl on the street, without thinking, my tool is at attention. It is embarassing. Is this normal or do I need to see a doctor?
