Health - 25 October 2006

as immediate family members we're hesistant to endorse the doctors move since spine is a sensitive area to operate (L1-L5 invertebrates discs) and though the patient is xpiriencing sharp pain at lower back the doctor hadn'nt weighed other options like drugs etc. My questions, what causes spondlylosis? what is tthe standard recommende treatment procedure for spondylosis? and finally from my lil knowledge surgical operation in spondylosis case are rare unless the same affecting functionaty of other organs like limbs. I WILL APPRECIATE GOOD ANSWERS FROM SPINE SPECIALISTS OR OTHORPAEDICS.

Sometimes in the bathroom at work I notice people having complete conversations on the toilet! I think that is not only weird it's unsanitary. Do you do it? If so, why? What is your opinion on it?

On August 31 I had Protected and the condom was still in place when i took it off 3-4 weeks after i started to get these symtoms.
Sore Pelvic
And A Mild Burning in the penis
I went to the doctor he told me to do a urine test and i did and he said everything was normal no diseases. but he didnt check me for h.i.v and thats what im scared about having cause like last week i got sick and i had these symtoms
Sore Throat
Sorness under jaw
soreness in neck
the sorness under the jaw and the sore throat went away, but i still have a mild sorness in neck,and my under arms feel sore and irritated but i f i dont think about it i dont notice it. And im also congested i have cold in my throat.

ive been stressing for like 4 weeks or more about contracting a disease. and does worrying make you more suspetible to sickness and sore or swollen glands.
but im getting a h.i.v test this saturday and im going to get tested again for other std's.

Is this h.i.v
Or just the common cold?

Ok so I've been having all kinds of health issues the past few months. (stomach isssues, heart problems to just name the worst ones.) Well this morning I woke up and my chest felt like I'd been punched (which is normal as of late) but when I went in the bathroom my shirt was soaked and I was lactating! My youngest is 2.5 yrs so that was a shock. I did think I had a couple drops last week but it was so little I wasn't sure. I know I'm not pregnant and I went for my annual pap yesterday so I had a breast exam. I've had all kinds of blood work etc over the past couple of weeks and everything was normal so what could cause this? Should I be concerned? (Not sure if it matters or not but I'm 28)

Ever since I went to Mexico (probably before that I just can't remember) back in early May, I've occasionally been getting pains in my lower back around where my kidneys are. I don't know if the kidneys are the problem, or because I have on again off again constipation and diareah... but why is there pain there? Its so intense sometimes I can barely walk.

I'm only 20, and I'm about 6'0 225 pounds

I'm a 39 year old man with a busted knee. I was shot about 12 yrs ago and the bullet almost completely shattered my knee. Being a "man" I didn't follow up with the proper rehabilitation and now my knee has stiffened with arthiritis. Not to mention there are bullet fragments still inside as well. So after finally taking the advice of my wife and seeing a doctor, I was told that my knee is in the worse shape they have ever seen a knee in for a man my age. Long story short, they insisted that I have "complete knee replacement surgery" right away. I've heard some really good and some really bad stories about this type of surgery. Can anyone out there give me some advice and direction on this particular matter?

Does anyone know any anti-depressants (and better, if it helps anxiety problems, too) that DOES NOT use the serotonin and dopamine?

My body reacts too sensitive to those serotonin and dopamine using medications.

I have asked my docter about this, but it seems he does not know anything other than the above.

If you suggest me one, I will ask for his opinion on that one.

Please help me, and thank you for your kindness.

Hello, my husband just won a case in court to get SSD and desicion was bench on same day of the hearing. We still haven't received the documents to go to SS office and see what benefits he will get. We have been married 3 years and have a child. I just want to know if me as his wife am entitled to receive benefits and my son . I know i read my son will get but nothing about me. Im currently not working because i care for my son who has mild autism. We also have a doubt. He tried working this year and went on a trial period to test his woring skills and earned some income this year. can we file taxes or that would put his SSD case on review? We have waited 2 years for this and he dont wanna risk it.

Need some help, i've been on such a downer for a while now.

It's 5 days till my 23rd birthday now and i'm sat here feeling like i've screwed everything up, 23 years and it's like i've never achieved anything, missed out on loads and have nothing to look forward to. I've already told anyone who asks to give some money to charity rather than get me a present and am planning to just stay in over the weekend.

I just don't know whats up with me, i'm pretty smart, have a fairly good job, a great brother and sister who always look out for me, am pretty good looking and have great friends who have never held any of this against me. So why do i feel like i'm a useless nobody who's missed out on something, it's starting to turn into a vicious circle now where the more i'm on a downer, the more it affects everything else and the more it does that the more of a downer i'm on etc etc etc.

Anyone got any advice?
