Health - 7 December 2006

I have this lump around the upper part of my knee. I've had it for awhile now and have now noticed a very visible blood vessel just under the skin. And sometimes I get sharp pains in the lump and my leg is tingly at times. I know should see a doctor, but I was just wondering if anyone has any possible idea what it might be from my description? And if I should wait til the begining of the year to get it checked out. I'm kind of scared of what it might be, cuz a few years ago I had a dream where I was sick and in the dream I had my leg amputated. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am prone to both, and have had both... you think I would be able to tell huh?
The pain started out mildly and started on the whole left side of my urethra area. There is no pain in my lower back or low abdomen, just that area. It does feel like I have to constantly pee, but nothing. I know that it sounds like a textbook UTI/bladder infec. but all the ones I have have had have not felt quite like this one. It was more of an overall pain in the urethra area and more of a burning feeling, than a stabbing feeling like this feels like.

My kidney stone pain has always been UNBEARABLE. Normally I would not be able to type in such pain.

However the thing I'm thinking about is that maybe the stone is small and it's already passed through my bladder/tube, and is just kind of stuck really close to the opening trying to get out (that's what it feels like anyway). Would it be possible not to feel it earlier (w. the back pain and what not), but just feel the end effects of it? Thanks

I heard that if a patient has an erection during an examination, the doctor can "flick" the tip of the penis to cause the erection to disappear. Is this true? How does it work?

I have trained hard in the gym for a year now and the results have been great. Weights twice a week, run on the treadmill for an hour 3 times a week, rugby on saturdays. Have dropped 60 lbs of fat, but am struggling to lose the final bit around my waist and pecs. I do drink quite heavily on saturday nights & eat whatever I like on my rest day (Sunday). After seeing such awesome results how do I lose the last few pounds? I eat heathily during the week, and used to take Lean System 7, but not for the past 3 months. I mix up my weights routines, but focus on the ol'beach muscles (chest, shoulders & arms). I used to be at 130kgs and am now around the 103kg mark. Any advice would be great. Thanks!!

My father has Schizophrenia as well. Also I hear Music and sounds differently at times like its a damaged cassette tape and the sounds sometimes are sped up and other times dragged out. Thanks for any help you can give me!

My friend and I were arguing. I said only men have smelly feet; he says both genders experience it equally. Who is correct? I find it hard to believe him cuz I've never smelled it on a woman.

from top to bottom said 2 neighbors who saw it when it was open. They found radon in building and drilled hole from my wall to this moldy room to solve radon problem in building. For years, I had SEVERE coughing to the point I peed myself and thought my ribs were broken throwing out my back from violent coughing that went on several hours where I couldn't catch a breath...with tons of clear phelm..thought I had chronic bronchitis but many years later found it was allergic rhitinitus and allergy to mold and then discovered mold under carpet when moving. Few lung problems since moving..it mostly all went away. I am worried this mold might affect my health and cause return of symptoms. Can it get to me from through walls or under door in hallway? What can I do to get them to fix it.? I am afraid to complain as so many residents are evicted from this subsidized housing on sham excuses. Would health department help me anonomously complain and how dangerous is mold?

My son is just 4yrs old, I would like to know - when one should start cleaning PENIS-HEAD by pulling back foreskin.

Since boy is just 4yrs old, is it advisable to wait some more years OR use oil etc to lubricate foreskin making is easy to pull back foreskin & clean head.

Any one with medical knowledge or experience please advise. No silly/stupid comments plzzzz.
