Health - 20 April 2007

I had a Lymphoscintigraphy done today.
And I read somewhere that you can have a pain in your knee. Like, behind your knee cap.
And I had it done 12 hours ago, And I still have pain in my knee.
Is that bad?

well im 11 years old and in the 6 grade and my brothers and family member pick on me about me weight , im really pretty , just really fat also. if i get down to 120 or even 130 i get a canuks jersy , a cell , and ALL brand name stuff. I really want to be skinny but im always lazy. the reason im doing this is because in school we were studying nutrition and my teachers like your average weight is 100 and if your like 150 your considered obsessed and then i got worried. Can someone out there help me? and tell me what to do to get skinnier in a HEALTHY way , please?

I'm 12 and i have been wondering about the new vaccine for cervical cancer. There is no history of it in my family but it seems like a good idea to get? What are the pros and cons of the vaccine? What do you think of it? I have heard that some schools are making it mandatory for girls to get it (my school doesn't) why is this and what do you think about? If I decide I want it how do I tell/ask my mom I want it or if I can get(I haven't really talked to her about "girl stuff")?

I'm fairly certain that I am bipolar (rapid-cycling or whatever it's called). Do I really need to go to a doctor? By the way, I have been pretty sure about this for about 2 years or so, and nothing really bad has happened, but I've noticed my mood swings have been a little worse. Could it get worse/ more serious?

A week ago I had a sharp pain in my lower right back. It's about where my kidney is. I thought little of it, but the next couple days it happened periodically, then I felt what I can only describe as something inside there pushing outwards kind of pressure along with pain, but it was off and on.---

Eventually this was accompainied by some lower right abdominal pains, occasional nausea, light headedness, disorientation, etc. The doctor say there was no blood in my urine, he thought it unlikely to be my gall bladder and very unlikely to be my appendix.---

He put me on ranitidine (Zantac), and did blood tests to check for infection (they aren't back yet). Today, 2 days later, the "pressure" is much worse, and the pain in my abdomen more steady, along with more frequent back (kidney area) pains.

Urination is normal, bowel movements mostly normal, though a decrease in appetite. No fever. Just feels like I'm carrying a full water balloon between bottom rib and hip bone. Idea

I asked this earlier today but for some reason it wouldn't show up. So I'm going to ask again...
There is a red lump on my vagina near the opening (I am not trying to be gross) that hurts a little occasionally but not often. It's been there for quite a while (months) but I'm not sure how long. Any ideas on what it could be?

I learned a lot about autism today and I am quite fascinated by it and its treatments. I am even considering working with children affected with autism when I am older. Can anyone give me any more information about it? Does anybody out there have a form of it that could tell me what it's like? Thanks so much!
