My massage therapist wants me to do structural integration. I have fallen arches, I suffer from IT in my left knee, I run and cycle and am really hurting these days. The left side of my body is really tense even though my right side is dominant. She has done it and said it worked for her, she did my feet a little bit tonight and she said it was working. I can't tell, but then again, I am not very in tune with that kind of stuff.

I googled Structural Integration, and there are a lot of links, but nothing really saying firmly if it works or not. I would like to hear definitive no's too, otherwise, I am worried that it is not drastic enough for the cost.

Make sense? Help!

She had surgery 2 weeks ago to have an appendectomy and they found a large ruptured hemorragoric ovarian cyst, there was also a 2cm hole in her ovary. They have been unsuccessful in giving her anything that works for pain other than in hospital iv or injections. She also has a new ovarian cyst on the same ovary now. Please help me to now what to ask the doctor to do with her pain. she has been sufferring with this since January 28th. I was told that her body does not respond to the normal ones...ie: percocet, vicodin, codine and such...but because of her age, I get the same response which is "pain meds are addicting" and I understand that, but she is on excruciating pain constantly with nothing working. I controll all her meds as well. I give them to her as scheduled...of anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it!

The cardiologist said that it was a false positive stress test.
He gave me this diagnosis after doing the angiogram which he said didn't show any plaque.
Does anyone know if this could really be a false positive?
I have been sick for 2 1/2 years with a diagnosis of "medically unexplained".
I feel worse when I stand, and have frozen lower legs and feet, with my pinky just going numb now a month ago.
Doesn't this sound like something is wrong and the dr's are wrong?
Thanks for your help

I have this pain in my wrist, its deep and its on the underside of my wrist just above my hand, right down the middle... if feels like a blood problem. My husband says its not carpol tunnel, because his dad had it and its not any of my symptoms. Its this piercing pain, and is random that lasts for only a few seconds, and then comes back a couple minutes later.

Tonight I had some lower abdominal cramping after sex. I was laying in bed and it was off & on for about 1/2 an hour. Could this be from trying a new position tonight? (not an STD & period ended last week so not PMS)

She missed her pills a couple of times and we didn't have sex for 4 to 5 days after. She also didn't take her sugar pills. I don't *** inside of her, I usually pull out and go somewhere else. She missed her period. What is wrong?

Possibly carpal tunnel syndrome? This started happening in both of my hands around the same time. I've never had any symptoms of CTS like this before. I'm 20 yrs old. My mother has a slight calcium deficiency, like a mild brittle bone disorder.

I get a pain up to around each elbow in my arms and sometimes up to my shoulder. Sometimes my wrist kind of burns and a lot of the time the back of my hand aches. Seems to effect mostling the pinky-side of my hands and my pinky fingers. I didn't figure CTS because it started in both wrists on pretty much the same day. I'm on the PC maybe 2 hours a day. I work in a pharmacy, screwing lids on pill bottles and typing for most of my day. This has been going on for about a week now and I have yet to see a doctor because I have no insurance. I should also note that I play about 15+ hours of videogames a week.

Sorry if that sounded like a run-on, I'm trying to get as much out there as I can to see if anyone might offer any help.

I know that no one can lose weight healthily without regular exercise and healthy eating, but I'm wondering if any of the millions of diet pills out there are both healthy AND helpful. Does anyone have personal experience with such a pill?

I have tried everything from creams to mixtures of lanolin and petroleum jelly. I try wearing gloves at night to moisturize my hands. I even try to wear gloves all day. But the problem still persists. At times it burns to put on lotion. My knuckles just keep on getting worse. They crack and bleed and then scabb over, then it starts over again. I'm looking for someone who has tried something over the counter and that is relatively cheap that actually works. I really do need some advice.

Hi there. My primary doctor told me today that I might have gastroparesis. I've had bloating/constipation and reflux. Since it takes a long time before I have any bowel, she thinks I might have gastroparesis that has been causing the refluxing, etc. What are the tests that one needs to undergo to find out if they have gastroparesis? Also, is it possible to have delayed gastric emptying without it being gastroparesis? Thanks in advance! friendlygal
