My son was not circumcised as a baby. I was told that his foreskin would not retract right away and I should not force it but that eventually it would and at that time I should teach him to clean under it.

He is almost 8 years old and it still does not retract. Soon he will to be too old to want his mom to show him anything about this part of his body! Should I keep waiting or take him to a doctor about it?

I asked this under general health too. I know he is just a boy, but still, I thought maybe in this section I would find more people who know about this sort of thing.

I see patients on a daily basis, who are mad at my dentist or at the office in general, for things that we warned them about from the beginning. It doesn't seem to matter if it is an actual procedure, such as warning them that a cavity is very deep and might need a root canal in the near future, and then having them get mad at us because they did in fact end up having pain and needing a rootcanal, or if it is a patient who was told that we are out of network, and can't control what their dental insurance pays, who gets mad at getting a bill.

We can say "You were told that up front." but they still don't seem to want to accept that they were in fact warned of the possibility of a tooth needing addtional work, or being warned that their insurance might not pay what we anticipated and they might get a bill. Somehow, it always turns out to be our fault, never theirs.

So i've been sexually active for 2/3 months, and after our bussiness i start to feel sick (like an hour afterwards) and my stomach hurts, like a stomach ache. Pretty sure this isn't normal! I'm completely healthy, recently had blood test done to test for pretty much everything lol and he massages me afterwards. Could be due to my pill because me and my bf usually have sex in the (late) evenings and i used to feel sick a few hours after taking the pill, which was in the evening too, i've recently switched pills so not too sure if it's that.

Don't think it's the pill though, I'm pretty sure as he occasionally hits my cervix during sex sometimes, can that really cause feeling sick?!? We use condoms too, maybe an allergy? Ugh i just don't know! Please help

My sister has obsessive thoughts/flashbacks, not about life threatening things like in PTSD. She'll remember some creep leering at her 4 years ago and ask why-can't keep such things out of her mind-like they're imprinted. She sees a therapist & psychiatrist for depression but hasn't mentioned her thinking style. Guys smile, give her the eye because she is "model" pretty, but humble, doesn't even wear make-up or think about looks. Her 2 sisters hate her cause she loves ballet & opera, not gangsta rap. They also hate her for being pretty. Parents don't have a clue, don't care. I tell her to tell the sisters (my sisters) to go F themselves. I've tried. It could only work if she tells them. She's too afraid, though. Any medication or advice or practice (meditation, writing, assertiveness training) that could help her? She's very shy; she only trusts me. She is being punished for being so good. We're a black family. There could be a culture aspect. If you know culture, you may understand

I have been on methadone for spinal stenosis and DDD for about a month now. I am on a total of 55 mg per day and have vicodin (10/500's) for breakthrough pain. So far I have not had to use the vicodin but my doc said I could use it when I needed to. I feel like I am on a high dose of methadone and even though I got the go ahead I am worried about taking the vicodin along with it (I also take Soma as needed). I have having a bad day with my back and feel like I could really benefit from taking a vicodin. I took 2 Somas about 3 hours ago and it didnt help (I am allowed to take 1-2 up to 3 times per day as needed of the Soma). Is anyone on a dose of methadone similar to mine and taken vicodin or other pain meds for breakthrough? How did it make you feel? I dont want to feel to sedated or too out of it. And I dont want to worry about taking too much meds. Advice would be great! And btw...I do have a call into my doc office but they have yet to call me back.

Thanks in advance!

Two months ago i saw a nurse from a "Mental Health Service" facility, where i was told to go by a doctor for self injury. The nurse asked me questions, such as how often do i self harm (only if i was really upset), do i eat right (sometimes), if i had ever tried to commit suicide (thought about it), ect. He told me he was going to contact a college of his -a psychiatrist- and that he would contact me back.
However, since that day something bad happened and i've resorted to self injuring every day even discovering new ways to do, i tried to kill myself twice and am now convinced that i'm fat after certain comments and have reduced eating... The counsellor i've been seeing -who is on holiday at the moment- hasn't really done anything to help me and there's been no word from the Health Service.
What should i do? Should i contact them and tell them what i've been doing or just wait longer for a reply? Please help, i'm scared i'm starting to get out of control! (I've just turned 16.)

I'm middle aged and was in shape once, but now very overweight and low engergy. I simply cannot seem to fit exercise into my schedule, with two teenagers and a full time job, no matter how much willpower I try to exert. Something always comes up, I'm too exhausted after work, etc. I'm at the end of my rope -- anyone tried hypnosis or anything else to break through?
