I have a ganglion cyst on my left wrist, and it recently started annoying me more and more. I have had it for about 5 months, and I think i am going to get it removed. I was wondering if anyone has had a ganglion cyst on their wrist. . . and if they got it removed . . was it pretty simple.. . . like were u able to go home and not be in pain that day?? Also, did it scar a lot?? did anyone's cyst come back after it was removed?? any experience/advice would help :)

I recently bought a "Belly Bar" because I heard they taste great and have a lot of vitamins. As I read the nutrional facts though, I noticed it is very high in folic acid and other vitamins which is great. However, I read on my vitamin bottle that over 1mg of folic acid daily may lead to anemia. I have also heard that too much vitamin A is not good while you're pregnant. Lastly, the bar says that it contains all of the daily supplemental nurtients needed during pregnancy. Should I not eat these while I am taking my prenatal vitamins? Has anyone else tried these while taking their prenatals and have had no negative results from them?
Serious answers only please!
Thank you for your help!!

I had kidney stones about 8 years ago-pain was so bad that even clothing or a sheet touching me sent a horrific pain through me. I had a miscarriage last year with horrible pain-felt like a knife was cutting me open & being run back and forth in my front & back. Is the post surgery pain as bad as a kidney stone or miscarriage pain?

The GB attack that caused me to go to the ER felt like I was severly bloated & someone was grabbing my GB & twisting and turning it about. I couldn't sit or lay comfortablly & was vomiting all nite.

I'm just trying to gauge what kind of pain I will be in the first few days. I don't want to be on pain killers if they make me sleep as I have really bad nightmares with pain killers. Also I'm scared of baaaaad pain.

I used to have anorexia, although I'm in recovery right now...
though I remember... and wonder, how my family and friends felt when they were watching me with that disorder.

Have you ever known someone who was anorexia or bulimic? How did you feel then?

help?

For the past month i ve been really down, i had many freak outs where i wanted hurt myself ( don't worry i don't have the guts to kill or hurt myself, im scared of death) I hate myself more than ever before and the situation at home is getting worse . I feel alienated and my family is picking on me. I don' t have anyone to talk to.

I can't seem to motivate myself to get myself a counsellor,( i can't never get out of bed) i'm gonna have to wait for my mum to notice and do something.

I'm thinking that i might see if my doctor can prescribe me something to help me cope in the meanwhile.

I was wondering what anti depressants would be best for me???

I don't want something that will make me gain weight, i already have a weight problem and i don't want to make it worse.

Any ideas??? thanks

They're red dots all over my legs. They kinda look like razor burn but they're all over my legs and they're there even when I don't shave. I also have them on the upper part of my arms. I've had them for years, they don't go away. So I'm wondering what it is because they were just brought to my attention again, and they bother me.

I had my uterus removed in 2001 because i had endometriosis and scar tissues bad. I had painful periods, heavy bleeding, and painful sex. At first I had a laparoscopy done and within 2 months i had the surgery. My doctor said she didnt want to take out my ovaries because i was too young (21). I had endometriosis all over my adominal wall , matterfact my uterus was stuck to my adominal wall alone with my bladder. Now it been 6 years and i feel like my condition is getting back worse. Do you think i need another scope to clean up my pelvic area? Also i think those monthly cyst and the endo have beaten up my ovaries, because my sexual drive is not there anymore.Please help me i dont think my new dr. understands where iam coming from. He keeps giving me birth controls.

I am 13. I need new bras and I need them to fit comfy. They need to be padded and underwired and a good price. My mom wont let me get Victoria Secret. She says they are too pricey for a still developing person.
