My husband has had what I believe from his description to be intestinal cramping for about a week now. He claims to be able to make bowel movements with no abnormality, but just slight discomfort. He has no diarreah, constipation, or any other problems. He just complains about this cramp that seems to come and go, and it is beginning to interfere with his work. If anyone has any idea what this is or what we should do I'd appreciate the help. Thanks.

My husband is 36 and is very near sighted. He recently starting seeing a lot of floaters in both eyes--worse in his left. He's had occasional ones but he says this is like trying to see through a snowglobe. He saw an opthamologist and he said my husband is just getting old. The dr. did rule out problems with his retina. Since the increase in floaters seemed to come on suddenly, my husband's not convinced it's just his extreme old age (I had no idea 36 was old!). Has anyone else had this problem? What were you told and what did you do about it?

I have never had a cavity in my life before, and have gone to the same dentist in the same town for a long time, now, but my lifelong dentist has now retired, and a new dentist has taken over the practice. The new dentist was there last time I went to the dentist, but just to learn about the patients, and get a feel for the office, but this time, he actually examined my teeth and told me that I had 11 cavities, 9 of which he said were huge. I don't think this is possible. Should I change dentists?

Still think you aren't already paying for someone else's care? That is the average tax burden for each household from medcaid/medicare for illnesses caused by smoking alone.

Do you get the same benefits from taking vitamin tablets as you would consuming the vitamins through eating fruit and vegetables. Are vitamin tablets a good replacement?

I dont want anyone to think Im a perverted pubescent asking vulgar questions. I want anyone reading this to take my question seriously. The upcoming sentences involve some "obscenity" so girls, if it bothers you, stop reading my question now.
So...I have had this bump. Yes, a bump on my penis. For quite a while-maybe 3 or 4 months? This bump's internal-I have felt it for a long time now, and it seems to be right underneath the skin. The bump is kind of hard, round, and I can feel it. It lies right in the middle of the shaft. I m scared its something weird. Its not an STD because Im a virgin and Im straight. Its sort of soft, and its most visible when erect. Does anyone know or have an idea what it might be?
Please dont take this question as an insult or anything. Im really nervous right now. If theres anyone with a medical knowledge out there that could help me out, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance :(

I forgot to add a few details so I will be asking again. Thanks aga

Its a real problem for my elderly mother to travel to a hospital for a flu shot. Is there any service that does this? She lives just west of Boston.

My friends toddler is overweight, was tested for thyroid problems etc but all is well physically. She does eat mostly fried foods, chicken nuggets, tater tots, pizza, some fruit she does like yogurt but I don't usually see her eat vegetables, eggs. Her doctor did advise her to drink 1% milk watered down, and watered down fruit juice. Any other good suggestions. However I can't really say much because I will be like an interfering friend, don't know if I will be welcomed there if I butt in too much. Thanks

I've been having really sharp pain and numbness in my left hand and forearm. I play the trombone and type a lot so I think the pressure of holding the trombone could have caused it but I'm not sure.

Can somebody tell me if those are symptoms of Carpal Tunnel?

I'm 16 years old and I'm having some trouble getting my parents to understand something. I keep telling them about how I have paruresis (I actually told them every day for a month, plus countless times besides that), but they just don't care and have even flat-out told me that I don't really have a problem, I'm just making it up, etc. I am a member of the paruresis.org forum, and everyone there has been supportive, but they keep telling me to see a doctor, read these certain books (only available online, of course...), etc., but I can't do anything that would help because my parents won't let me. Am I just doing something wrong in communicating with them, or are they being crappy parents? This is very frustrating for me because it's messing up my life and they just think it's funny and not a real problem. (In general, they treat me fairly well, but whenever I have a real problem, they find it more convenient to just ignore it than to help me solve it.)
