a few months ago I found a lump in my left breast. I got an ultra-sound done and they said it didnt look like anything. Now I have one in my right aswell. I'm going to get a new ultra-sound tomorrow and eventually a biopsy. Most likely its cysts, but I'm still nervous.
I was wondering if this could have anything to do with taking Yaz birth control? My sister had problems like this when she used the birth control patch.

note: i'm 22 years old if that makes a difference.

How do you find out how many points you are alloted in a day? Is it online somewhere, or do you have to go to the meetings?

I had shingles in 2003 and it caused nerve damage (phn). I take about four or five 5mg doses of methadone a week to control the intense pain in the trigeminal nerve in my face. I am afraid of becoming addicted to this drug. Loritab does me no good at all. Has anyone had this experience. I have a physician that will prescribe methadone but I would really like to get away from it and him. My family physician can write lesser painkillers but I absolutely don't know which way to go. Are pain management doctors usually effective?

Had my normal period that lasted 7 days, now I am still spotting after 10 days, and today it was red again. Can someone tell me if I should take a pregnancy test? Would it be accurate if I'm spotting? Thanks.

I think I'll probably get a lot of answers like "if you ask, then you are...", but here are the details.

I usually drink a couple of beers or a couple of shots each night when I get home from work. I never feel like I "have" to take that drink, it is just something that I do. I have gone months without drinking, and I never have the "shakes", and I never stress getting drunk, but when I'm home I like to drink.

And I've never woken up and taken a drink "to get through the day", or to cure a hangover.

I have no problem being the designated driver, but if I am, I usually have a couple of drinks when I get home even if my wife goes to bed. I've noticed this habit between me and my wife. Regardless of what the drink is, be it wine, beer or whiskey, we usually have a couple of drinks every day.

Is this the sign of an alcoholic, or is this just a bad habit that we've formed over the years?

I just recently joined the gym to shed 30lbs. I am 5ft5" 160lb. I am lucky to be naturally muscular and build muscle easily but I have huge thighs which I dont want any bigger. Even when I was 120lb in high school I had sprinter thighs (wasnt a sprinter though)
I am currently doing HIIT on the treadmill but would like suggestion on strength training exercises that will tighten and tone my thighs without adding more muscle.
My husband suggested doing low weight burn sets with the leg press.

Any suggestions?
