Health - 21 March 2007

I am only 26 years old and have two children. I have always been in pretty good shape, but I decided that I wanted to start running and try to be in a 10K. Problem is, my knees have started hurting especially when I go running. They didn't bother me the first month or so, but now I can't even run any more than 1/2 to 1 mile before it starts hurting right in my knee cap. :-( Any advice? Am I doing something wrong?

My allergist says I'm allergic to milk. My mother-in-law says that just means I'm lactose intollerant. Are they the same thing?

Anyone know the statistics of Birth Control linking to any type of Cancer?

I’m worried since Birth Control is a hormone and all, and on both sides of the family I have like every cancer you can think of heredity wise. Will taking Birth Control heighten my risk for Breast or Cervical Cancer or any type of cancer for that matter? My Aunt on my Mom’s side has had Cancers around her female part, and has had Breast Cancer like 3 times. My grandma on my Dad’s side had Breast Cancer, and then died from some other odd cancer (probably from all the chemo from treating the Breast Cancer). This is a big concern of mine and is why I’ve tried avoiding taking Birth Control for so long. Please give me some hard evidence to prove or disprove so I know if I’ve made a major mistake or not.

I was expecting my period on March 15, but it still has not arrvied. (The date is March 21) I'm starting to worry a little bit about what may be causing it. However, I know for a fact it is NOT pregnancy. I have never had sex or anything even close to it before. Could this late/missed period be normal fluctuations, seeing as I've only had my period for about 2 or 3 years now. Or is there another cause?

Im interested in getting a microdermabrashion... I have acne scars and some scars from chicken pox.. I just want to smooth out my skin and lessen my pores.. Would that be a great alternative rather then a drastic chemical peel? I want something that takes no time to heal. Has anybody gotten it done before and what were your results?

Need help. My friend has asthma. Everything was normal, until now, after 3 years, he is getting the symptoms back. He has breathing difficulty and has to use the inhaler frequently. Is it safe to do so? The doctor says there are no side effects. It's been lie this for 3 weeks, and he is feeling worse day by day. Are there are natural ways to make him feel better? And what should he do if this gets worse suddenly? He refuses to do to the doctor. I don't know what to do and I'm quite worried. Please help!

I am walking in this year's Breast Cancer 3 Day (60 miles!) in Michigan. The event is at the end of September. I am overweight by about 40-50 pounds.

What should I be doing as far a training for an athletic event? What should my diet look like?

So far I have been doing Hip Hop Abs aerobic videos 6 days week and trying to walk at least 2.5 miles on warm days. I have also cut back a litte on my daily calorie intake (probably not enough) and upped my water intake.

I am looking for specific training guidelines. Maybe like I am getting ready to run a marathon???

I had four wisdom teeth and an impacted canine out on Friday. Today (Weds.), I feel as though I have been hit by a bus. If I take an ibuprofen at 10:30 AM, then a hydrocodone two hours later (12:30 PM), will I be O.K. to drive at 5:30 PM to my grad school class (it is 30 mins away)?

I just started Birth Control to try to help my bad cramps. My Doc said to keep taking it unless I get a server reaction. So far I have a slight rash by the corner of my eyes, but it doesn’t itch. Should I call my doc or be concerned in any way?

Oh yeah and I accidentally took it 20 min late yesterday, I’m new to this whole take something everyday at the same time thing (have a bad memory lol). Could that be the cause? Technically it’ll be my fourth day today taking it, but really I’ve only token it for 3 days (since Monday when I got it from my doc she made me take Sunday’s pill together with my Monday pill).

February 24th, 2007, I got hit right below the eye with a piece of metal. There was a tiny puncture and it was swollen for a while, but then it healed.... So I thought. I had a slightly red bag under my eye for a while, and now it's getting flaky/crusty and it looks like dry skin. Last Thursday I also spent the day sitting right next to a girl with pink eye. I'm afraid to wash it or put lotion on it, because it is literally DIRECTLY under my eye. It's about 1/4 in. under, and 1/2 in. above. Please help!

I am working out 6 days a week and not seeing any weight loss. I am currently doing the Power 90 cardio/circuit 3/4 videos 3-4 days a week, ab ripper 200 six days a week, Plus 10+ miles of cardio a week. I am seeing toning, but no weight loss to speak of.

I did the same work out last year w/o the protein supplements, and saw toning and weight loss. I am now taking a soy protien around 3pm and a whey protein immediately after my workout. Both are very low carb.

Just as little background info: I am 05' 03" currently weigh 115 lbs and have been physically active in sports my whole life...so I am NOT out of shape. I eat healthy and only drink water and occasionally low fat milk.

Any thoughts??

for the past month or so, i have been have abdominal pain in my upper left side. it is a constant aching pain but, through out the day i go through times where the pain is strong enough to take my breath away. Recently i have noticed that my left leg is swollen and when i press down on it, it leaves a dent in my leg that after about 30 sec. goes away. i have been tested for everything, mono,liver,pancreaitus,i have had an endoscopy,CT w/contrast, an ultrasound, x-rays etc. i am now waiting for a GI to call me. i was wondering should i wait or just go to the ER?
