Health - 29 June 2007

I've been physically active since high school (Track Team). I looked around me then and saw all the fat, unhealthy looking people, and even though maintaining a good diet and exercise regimen can be tough, I developed my own strategy. What do you think? If I am going to skip working out or think about eating junk food or fatty food, I imagine myself fat and ugly and unhealthy. I have powerful visual imagery, so when I imagine myself like that, I can almost feel it. That way, whenever, I might be tempted to do something unhealthful--eating junk or skipping exercise, I just picture the consequences and I get motivated. Anyone try this or think it could help them?

Hi a few weeks back I took a bottle of drink out of my back pocket to find what might have been someone elses plaster from a drink bottle I had just bought on the bottom of it...might have been my plaster that I had put in my back pocket before. But that seems unlikely as surly it would have lost its stick after going in the wash, plus I hadn't worn them in ages so seems unlikly they would be able to stick to a bottle?

Anyway the trousers have been washed and I have been wearing them again, is that ok to do?

I have been awakened at night by severe rectal pain (lasting about 5 painful minutes) so I looked it up and found that it’s called Proctalgia fugax, a severe, episodic rectal pain that usually occurs at night, a muscle cramp in the wrong place at the wrong time, rectal spasms or just plain pain in the anus…
It could last a few seconds to a few minutes so most people do not even report it to their doctors.

Warm baths and massages seem to relieve it but I’d like to know if any one of you people found other true and tried methods to relieve that pain in the butt fast.

My son stepped on a rusty nail and did not tell me until the next day I took him straight to the doctors who told me it was too late for a tetanus injection so gave him antibiotics. That was last Wednesday. He seems fine today (Saturday) should I be worried ?

Authorities on Asperger's Syndrome have plausibly argued that a high proportion of trainspotters probably suffer from various degrees of the complaint, (Frith 1991)

Your thoughts please?

Please don't be rude about them, this is a genuine enquiry.

If your general practitioner does pap smears and pelvic exams, should you stick with them for the gynocological exams or is it better to go to a gynecologists since they're specialist in that area?

My husband, who is 58, has had good check ups but is worried he will die soon - or atleast before or shortly after he retires at 62. He is about 30+lbs overweight. But other wise healthy, although he does not exercise.

I am an 18 year old male, and I have had over the past two nights Ipain in the front region of my pelvis and a feeling of my bladder never empyting. It doesn't hurt to pee nor is there anything abnormal with it, I just feel pressure. I had surgery on my sinuses a week ago, and am currently taking antibiotics to prevent infection. However, I do not wake up when I fall asleep (its hard to fall asleep until like 4 am) to go to the bathroom nor do I feel the urge during the day. It's kind of freaking me out, should I call a doctor tommorow?

I landed it on it's side while playing basketball a month back, and it's been prone to getting hurt a lot now.

What should I do for it?
