A long time ago, I lost faith that doctors are generally competent, or care about their patients. For example, you may have to wait a week to get an appointment, and then, when you FINALLY get "an audience with the king", he gives you some superficial, cursory "examination", and he just mouths some platitudes about getting rest or some such thing.

Right now, I may or may not have a meniscus problem in my knee. I may or may not have a problem with my ACL. Either I should walk unless it hurts, walk only short distances, or lay in my apartment for three weeks without stepping outside. I'm not sure. That is the recommendation of three different doctors.

Why does it seem like doctors don't really have a grasp of human anatomy? When they can pinpoint the exact point where something hurts, and they can feel the soft tissue around the area, it should be self-evident. Even my massage therapist had a different answer.

Are doctors just ambivalent?

I exercise everyday i do pushups, crunches, and chinups on different days of course. Well i do 3 sets of pushups until muscle failure and chinups, i do 3 sets until muscle failure but crunches i only do 1 set of 21[ i just started with those]. The problem is i just don't think i have a big frame. No matter how hard i work out i get muscle but i'm still skinny. Noone would really tell i have been working out even if i was wearing a cut off tee. I have put rocks on my back to build some mass while i did my pushups and chinups until the whole darn thing was filled to the max. So i don't know how do i get some mass?

I've been drinking a lot today (not alcohol) and I just practicially chugged down a glass of water. I know that nusea is one of the symptoms of too much water and i feel that way now. I'm also really tired and my stomach is like eally upset. Does anyone know what I should do (at home) because my parents probably won't take me to the doctor... help please. (i also overate a little bit because i didnt want to come across as rude to one of my friend's moms..?) thank you to anyone who at least tries to help!

I lost about 60 lbs in the year 2001 (went from 220-160). I started taking risperdol in 2002, gained 20 lbs in 2 weeks and even more after that. I have not been able to lose a single pound since then.
I probably weigh about 300 lbs.

It's not like I've been eating all that much, lately. I've started a healthier diet, and I've become extremely active. I'm losing a lot of weight, too. Could these be flushing out my system and causing me to take repeated, catastrophic bowel-movements?
