Is there anything particular you would want to know about this topic? I was thinking about making the research paper in the direction of assuming everyone has or will have a mental illness. Is this something you would be interested in reading? or Can you give any points of view on something else that can be interesting about this topic? Thank you! Greatly appreciated!

I was just told by my new ob/gyn that I have a large ovarian cyst, >5cm. When he palpated my abdomen, he easily found it, and I moaned in pain. It still hurts from that exam! I have assumed the pain was from my severe and chronic irritable bowel syndrome, so I have simply popped a couple of Percocets and tried to ignore it.

I've had ovarian cysts before (once had laparoscopy to remove them), but never this big. I've had abdominal pain and bloating for a long time (assumed it was the IBS). I also have lost almost 50 lbs over the last year with very little effort (now am almost underweight, but that belly always looks a little big).

So, percentage-wise, how many of these types of cysts are cancerous? The doc told me to come back in 6 wks to see if it's shrunk, but I'm too anxious to wait. Should I call him tomorrow and say I want to get an ultrasound ASAP?

I am going to have surgery to fix a deviated septum. The doctor also had a CAT scan done to see what else may be happening. The scan showed a huge cyst in my sinus area and mucus build up. The doc said the cyst would have to be removed and my sinuses would have to be drained. What exactly does it mean to have your sinuses drained? Should I be worried about this cyst? Could it be cancer? I'm a bit paranoid I guess.

My doctor has prescribed several different pain meds to assist me. I have a medicine cabinet full of vicoden, percocet, darvocet, tylenol w/codeine, motrin etc. The problem is that these pain meds do not agree with me. I take the recommended dosage and at first my pain subsides but then I start to get really dizzy, my speech gets slurred, and a little while later I begin vomitting. This happens with every pain med that is prescription strength (even on lower doses). It seems that I can only take over the counter pain meds but they do not work as well for pain. I end up taking waaay more than the bottle suggests before the pain subsides. I can finish an entire 24 capsules of ibuprofen in 2 days. I know this is not good but I don't know what else to do. Does anyone else get sick from prescription pain meds? Have you found anything in prescription strength that works for your pain without those horrible side effects?

This morning I was an idiot and hit my head on my car door. Above my eyelashes it is swollen, a bump that has spread and it is purpleish blue green. It almost looks like purple eyeshadow and ligh eyeliner. Should I put ice on it tonight while laying in bed or just leave it alone?

I Got a terrible pain in my triceps, upper back around shoulders(Rhomboids), part of my upper chest, and on the part of my back just below the arm pits after paticipating in a battle of push-ups with a co-worker of mine. I struggled through the last push-up to even the score and tryed to do one more for laughs but had not an ounce of strength to do it. Just afterwards my arms felt like heavy lead weights and now 3 days later I am still experiencing pain. It is most severe when I am not moving, such as during the night.
does anyone know how to ease the muscle pain!!!!!!!!

for marching band, we have to stand still in a block for 2-3 hours straight in the hot sun before the annual memorial day parade in our town. I fainted last year, and I tend to faint in situations like that. What precautions can I take to prevent myself from fainting this year? (Don't say drink water, because I won't have an available bathroom and I constantly have to go, and don't say "sit down" because if I do my band teacher won't let me do it next year)

I am 21 and have never had breathing problems more serious then mild allergies. About three weeks ago I had a pretty serious case of the flu, and developed a cough and wheeze around then. Flu is gone, cough and wheeze is not so I went to my colleges health clinic (the voodoo hut), and after a nurse practicioner listened to my chest I was told I have bronchial asthma and given a steroid inhaler and a breathing treatment.

First of all, do you think its asthman? Second, what doctor should I go to for follow up?
