I'm just curious because I haven't found any documented, I've had the shot and after the second round gained some weight pretty rapidly, it is the only thing that I can think of that could have triggered weight gain because my dietary and exercise regimines are the same as they have been for the past year.
I do not want to scare anyone away from the shot, I think its a great idea in theory, I just wished I would have done more research before my doctor offered "an opportunity to prevent cervical cancer" and I thought , "SURE! OK! Sounds Great!"

Tonight I just had it... some of my friends have been known to have drank a good amount of alcohol then drive. Now they're into smoking pot, and I really hate that. I know drinking and driving is unspeakable of course, although I'm not quite sure of the effects of pot. But anyway I'm finally getting tired of it and I don't know what to do. It kinda crushes me cuz I love them but its so freakin annoying when they smoke, bring drinks, and smoke pot whenever I see them. It's really getting to me !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know ... I feel argh!

Is frozen shoulder the same as loss of strength or is loss of strength the same as a pinched nerve?
After reading many answers about frozen shoulder, I need to decide whether to have spine surgery, shoulder surgery, joint replacement, or hope my shoulder heals by itself

Hi, I am 40 years old, 5 11, and weigh 175 lb, pretty good looking, however, I want to grow big muscles. I do not mean HUGE, but I guess bigger. Am I too late at age of 40 ? I see many older people with nice big muscles, but they have been working out since teen or something. I have been working out all my life, but not so much weight lifting like those who do it like part of life religiously. I just think its so boring, rather play team sports or Martial Arts or some activity....but indeed weight lifting is not a bad thing.

I had appendicitis 2 weeks ago and one of the incisions is sore and red, and a long string is hanging out of it. I tried giving it a yank to see if it was loose but it isn't. I'm not sure what to do about it but it's giving me the heebie-jeebies.

I really hate to ask this question, but I tried a trojan-enz condom on, and it was just too small, and tight on me. Now me and my Girlfriend don't plan on having sex till Marriage, but wanted them just in case genitals got close. So we messed around with it a little and it broke! (Thank god we weren't having sex lol)

Now honestly I don't think I'm huge because I just don't think I'm a "Magnum" guy lol. So is there a size in between there?
