I got my IUD in about a week ago.A few days after I got it I started and have not stopped bleeding. I had very little cramping. So I went online to look up side affects. After reading all the problems people have I am now scared. Has anyone had good sucess with the IUD???? I have three kids and want to wait a while before having my last one. Tried the shot but that was HELL. I can not do the pill cause truth is I will forget. So I felt this was a good option. My doctor who I just love, and delivered my youngest 6 months ago.made it sound great.Should I be worried that I made the wrong choice ?

I've been having really bad pains for over a month now. I'm talking about a sore toe, what I'm pretty sure was a sprained pinky, a hang nail, two paper cuts, and worst of all, a really bad shooting pain that starts in my left ear...travels across my shoulder blades, up around my right ear, but not IN my right ear, then it goes down my right arm, up and down my thumb, middle finger and pinky, then jumps across my body to my left hand, where it REALLY hurts, then up my arm, down my chest to the navel, back up to my left nipple, where it actually feels kinda good for a second, then it gets weird! From the nip it jumps down to my left knee cap, over to my right big toe, up to my scrotum, where again, it feels kinda good, then it gets HORRIBLE as it shoots straight back to my left eye lid!! Has anybody else had this pain? I've tried EVERYTHING from advil, tylenol, bayer, ibuprofen, bananas, celery root, viagra, I mean EVERYTHING...so now I think I just need some oxycontin. Wish me luck!

I was told in the past that it might mean I have an ulcer.. I just know that recently its been happening. I HAVE been under a ton of stress and have been rather depressed about some things. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be?

I keep getting really, really bad ingrown toe nails. It is not because of my shoes, I either go barefoot or wear tennis shoes. I think it is mostly because of my toes. The skin grows up and over the nail. should I get the skin around the nails cut or should I try something else? I would ask my doctor, but I am a military wife and where we live getting the military to get a referral is like pulling teeth. I would like to have an idea of what to do before I go so I don't have to waste my time.

Im just wondering why a lot of boys like to generalize things, people, rumors, cultures, places....etc. Does it make things easier? Were you taught to generalize by society? Im really curious to know. Is it a tribal thing to lump everybody in the same group? Like what is it that makes males do that alot? I notice this on a lot of message boards......

I have a lower back out and the flu at the same time. Yes, I'm one happy camper right about no. NOT. Back is out so bad, I can't even roll over in bed, had to pee in my bedside trashcan as I was unable to get up. No joke. Anyhow, I popped down 800 mg of ibuprofen. It's getting late and the flu fever is kicking in with congestion. How many hours should I wait until i can take some nyquil? Thanks!

I am a 16 year old 5-10 male, 160 and I want to improve those 3 things(strength, foot speed and vertical.) I can touch around 9-6/9-7, as far as lifting I can only easily lift around 80-90 pounds, and I have bad foot speed. By August I'd like to be able to touch around 10', and be benching around 140-160 with ease. I plan to drop another 5-8 pounds or so by the end of march(I've already gotten rid of 20 pounds) by. My question is basically 3 separate ones:
1. How can I improve my vertical by around 5-6 inches in 5 months? Will jumping on a minitramp for 20 minutes a day itself work, or will I need to start squats?

2. How can I become stronger? I know the obvious answer is to start lifting...but with how many times per week should I be lifting, and how many reps and sets should I do to maximize my lifting ability in 5 months?

3. And then finally, what is the best way to improve footspeed?

If you can provide answers to any of these questions that would help me a lot. Thanks!!

I am trying to find answers to my problem.I had asthma 3 years ago but only mlildly so i very rarely needed an inhaler.before christmas i had pnuemonia/pluerisy.After lots of antibiotics/steriods and inhalers the doctor said the infection has now gone.My question is why everytime i finish steriod tablets to help me breathe that my breathing goes terrible again.My doctor said i have been left with a tightness in my breathing which is taking a long time to settle down.What does this mean.He is ending me to see a specialist.I did the test where you blow into a tube and the results went to 150 dont know how bad that is.Could pnuemonia have left me with weakened lung.Please help its all driving me mad.

Hello,

I'm new to this board and I've been searching all over on the net. My tailbone has been hurting and my biggest fear is the doctors.

Tailbone pain: bending over, Sometimes it will hurt when I sit. No tender spots. I've checked. I did pick up a heavy box at work, can that cause damage to a tailbone?

Any ideas what could I do?

Alright. Im sixteen, overweight, and I want to gain muscle mass. I don't eat breakfast, for lunch my choices are limited at school (usually I eat an unsalted soft pretzel), and for dinner I usually eat one serving of whatever my parents cook. I need to know what I need to do to get this diet to work. I plan on working out and weightlifting I just need to know what eating habits must be changed. What should I eat for breakfast? At school my choices are chips, pizza, frozen yogurt, and/or a soft pretzel so which one should I be eating? In addition I will be drinking lots of water but I want to know if it's ok to have milk with dinner. HELP ME!

I know that many were at grave risk from having to take blood products and may have contracted AIDs before it was known to be a problem.

Was at an observatory for project, then while we were outside the professor was pointing out the nebulas with a high powered pointer* and while he was talking he accidentally hit the button and got me right in the eye.

He discussed how it was one that he had to lock up when he was done or whatever so it wasnt your standard type. So does it hurting mean i should be worried? because i assumed it was just temporary but it hasnt releived since it happened
