I can still walk fine ,but with little pain.I can't run it hurts to do that.I'm 50 yrs old.Would you wait or have it replaced.I'm hoping they will come up with something better than sawing your joint out and putting a fake joint in.

I coughed and a small grey rock flew out....of my mouth. I was curious so I picked it up. It was soft and wierd in texture. I squished it in my fingers and then sniffed it.....DEATH. OMG It smells a rotting animal in the woods or something! What is this mysterious death rock that flew out of me? Is it a piece of my lungs?

I used to train at the gym 4-5 times a week up until November last year and had a fantastic figure. I'm married and my husband unfortunately is overseas and we only get to see each other every 8 weeks or so. I miss him very much and just don't seem to get myself going. I've started to put weight and I've started having stress headaches again too and I know the gym always helped with this. My friend I used to train with is unable to train with me now. How do I get myself back into going to the gym?

I do not know what it is like to just feel normal-happy the majority of the time. I would like to know and am in therapy and have started medication about 6 weeks in. Though I have a wonderful life I often feel sad and anxious, and have for much of my adult life. My question is why am I still depressed? Is it that I have a physical propensity for it? I know my mother was depressed, is it hereditary? Or is it in part because when you are sad a good part of your life your body gets used to it and can't do anything else, even when things get better? Or a combination?

Thanks in advance.

I love to eat period. I really dont saty away from junk food. My mom says I can eat whatever I want because im young and I am still growing. I am 18 years old 175 pounds and 6 feet tall . Like I was saying my mom is pretty much telling me to go ahead and eat, she says that I am still growing. I like my weight right now I am not really to skinny not to fat either, I dont really work out that much. But is not like the only thing I eat is junk food I eat fruit, vegetables, and I drink a cup of whole milk daily. I was thinking that I would start watching what I eat when I am 21 thats when you stop growing, I guess? What do you think should I start watching what I eat or should I keep my habit of eating in the morning, afternoon, night and midnight?

I use to like my weight, now I'd like a little more umph to my body since I turned 21 not too long ago. I have pretty big legs, but not a large caboose to go with. And I'd also like to have bigger breasts (especially those) withought surgery! (And don't tell me to get pregnant please)!
I would really appreciate REAL suggestions, some success stories will do just fine as well. I'm serious about this, and I'd like it if you were too. Thanks so much!

I am regularly exercising and eat a healthy rounded diet (not starving myself) and would like to curb my appetite, have more energy (without the jitters) and speed my metabolism. I also would like to know about any negative experiences also, please include the name of the pills you had the experience with. I am also a female so I would not like to be ripped, just lose a few pounds and help speed up the gym results.

I have something coming up in 2 days and my period would be an inconvience. This is day two so I would be right smack in the middle of my 5-7 day cycle. I am on birth control, does any one know how to safely do this?

I'm 24 years old, and a junior doctor. I've had problems with depression/anxiety/self harm over the past few years, and I'm currently on 150mg Venlafaxine daily which does help a lot. But I can't stand being by myself - I become very depressed and tearful and start thinking bad things. My flatmate is on call today, so I've been in the flat by myself for the past 3 hours, and I feel really tearful and low. I've tried to keep myself occupied, but it hasn't worked.

What can I do to be happier on my own? How can I learn to enjoy my own company instead of dreading being by myself and ending up turning to self harm?

Or brain cancer? I'm asking because I've noticed I get headaches often a little after listening (obviously) to my MP3 player. Although, I know it's not great to do something straight for 5 hours (except sleeping), but I literally have an addiction to music and I'm usually outside, so it's wondrous that it's portable. Now, instead of getting headaches, I'm getting migrains (I know there's a difference), yet I still can't stop listening to music because it literally is my drug and numbs all this stress I'm having (check out my other questions) for a little while. I'm not sure if I have brain cancer or a brain tumor or just plain old headaches/migrains, but being the inaccurately self-diagnosing person I am, I know I COULD be wrong. So someone PLEASE tell me the symtoms of brain cancer/tumors and what I can do and how I can drop my drug. I've tried other hobbies, yet I still absolutely LOVE my MP3 player (show what kind of life I have). I've told my mom about this, but she thinks I lie.

My stomach is acting really messed up. I usually have stomach problems from eating or drinking anything with a milk product in it, but this is a pain I haven't had before. I had a sharp pain in the lower part of my stomach and now there is a tight squeezing pain on my left side, like right under my rib cage. I've read up on ulcers and it really doesn't sound like it could be that. I have had a lot of stressed lately due to the fact that my mom passed away in December and I've been getting in arguments with my boyfriend. I really don't want to go to the doctor if it's something I can treat myself. If only I knew what could be the problem. Any idea?

I have lost as much weight as I think I need from lifestyle changes (water, less junk, etc) over the last 1.5 years.

I need to move to cardio excercise... I think on a daily basis.

Honestly my body has been through a lot and I have only 1 kidney as of 3 years ago.

What instrument should I get to monitor my progress from this starting point?

Any other advice?

I am a high school student, play basketball( winter), field hockey (summer/fall), softball (spring). I have a pool, a sister, and a dog. I need to find a quick workout that will fit my busy schedule, but I want it to work well, and show results. I have a bad knee so, anything like hard core running is not an option. I need something i can do in 15 to 30min, and feel good about myself afterwards. HELP!!!
