I have been on depo shot for three months now and im not going to get another one. But anyways i have been bleeding/spotting for a month straight (which i know is normal for depo). But what is confusing me is that my blood is black! its not burgandy or red or anything even slightly normal its blackish/ brownish... i dont know if this is a major concern but its really bothering me. Its also really stringy and clumpy looking not just well how it usually is... could it be like build up from the past few months i dont really know what to do .
should i go to the doctor.
please some advice from anyone.

I'm taking Pravachol. I took it a long time ago and had a lot of muscle pains. I couldn't get my cholesterol down low enough with only niacin & diet so my Drs but me back on it. They also gave me CoQ10 to take to keep the muscle pain down. I was OK for a while, but now the pain is back even with a higher dose of CoQ10. I'm also having trouble walking. I used to be able to walk over 3 miles per day without much trouble, but now I hit the wall before I finish a mile. My legs feel like lead and I'm in a lot of pain. So I'm not exercising like I used to. Is this muscle weakness serious? Is there anything else I can do? (Lipitor is worse for me!)

Hi. Sometimes I like to masturbate my penis until it ejaculates sperm and semen. After this happens, I sometimes realize that its time for a urination, as I drink a lot of water. So I go to the restroom and I pee. I am uncirumsized, so my pee usually comes out in a waterfall-esque fashion, as the flow is obstructed by the foreskin (I don't pull back). BUT, after ejaculating my pee comes out with tremendous force. Its as if I am holding a fully pumped squirt gun in my hand. The urine flows from my urethra in a powerful, yet thin stream, at a dangerously high velocity. Is this normal? Should I be worried? Please help me!

Me and my friend went swimming, and we got horrible sunburns!
on our face, lower back, shoulders, and arms. And they aren't just
the sunburn kinda pink, they are RED.

Our faces REALLY sting, and they won't stop, it well, burns.
We don't have aloe vera in my house, so. it is burning!
is there any way we can make the burning stop, but without
lotion with aloe vera??? We also live in the desert, so it wouldn't be a prob. to go get some. what do they look like,
and is there some household item that you can you can use
on a bad sunburn, and make it go away????

I suffer regular headaches and i feel the pain in my neck as well. I saw a chiropractor because medication doesnt seem to make a difference, nor does diet. he said my left hip is higher than the right and right shoulder is higher than the left. so I'm wonky! Does anyone know what this means?
Also i am getting xrays done. does anyone else think chiropractic therapy is good? or bad? i dont know whether it will work for me but its an option and just wondering what everyones views are on it. thanks :-)

Does anyone have ideas on how I could have better posture while cutting out stencils? I always end up hunched over cutting away at the stencil with an xacto knife, then it gets uncomfortable and my neck and back start to hurt after a while. :[

I love avacados. I always have. I am not alergic to anything we know of except maybe penicline. But whenever I eat avacados my throat itches. I dont get sick or anything and it happened to a few friends of mine. I asked my mom and she said it never happened to me before but it had. She thought it was the avacado itself that I ate. But it dont matter when I eat them it happens. What does this mean?

Lately I have been experiencing blurred vision, extreme fatigue and a very weird cough. The cough seems to come and go every day. I wake up in the morning and am good for about an hour and then I want to go to sleep again. As for the vision its very blurry but if I close one eye I can see perfect. With the right eye open everything is blurry. Not sure if all this is related but just curious if anyone else ever had something like this or what it can be?

I'm 17 and am considering getting a breast reduction. I wear a 34E (meaning my boobs are 40 inches around at the widest point). In the locker room during gym, girls stare at me and I can even hear them whisper mean comments to eachother. Guys seem to hit on me all the time (even college age and older although I'm just in high school) and only are interested in getting my shirt off, it seems.

I've talked to my parents. They are supportive no matter what I choose and are willing to pay for it.

What should I do?

I am14, 5'4" 117lbs, and I want to play freshman football. Almost all of my friends are taller and heavier than me. I try eating a lot and working out but nothing is working. I have only gained about 9lbs since 2 months ago. People like to mess around with me because I'm small. ITS NOT FAIR :(

Why must my body be like this? Why is it SOOOO hard to gain weight? Is there any way for me to force my body to gain tons of weight (muscle AND fat)? Thanks!

Does anyone have suggestions on what type of exercise/workout can be done with herniated lumbar discs? I currently have issues with sitting, standing, riding in a car, lifting, bending, twisting, turning. I am appealing my workman's comp case - the injury happened while I was shipping at work, but they say since I had been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease, they do not have to pay (different topic!). Anyway . . . I was told to exercise & lose weight . . . pray tell, how can I do this when any volume of activity sends burning, shooting pain from my hip through my toes (this pain does not stop after I cease activity)? Any real suggestions are welcome!
