I have spinal stenosis and slight athritus ( both spelt incorrectly) in my lower back. i go to the gym regularly and after a session there is no pain other than a slight discomfort and even before the pain is uncomfortable rather than agony. I have found that recently that I have felt my legs were going to collapse but U knew they were not. Tonight I was waiting for my wife to arrive at tthe station when I felt they were going to collapse and as I walked I felt that I was not using them properly in fact I felt I was losing control of the movement and I could not place them where I wanted to . It felt they were a couple of inches away from whee they should have been and that I was walking like a drunk. I sat down for about three minutes and when the traimn came in I felt OK. I had not bveen drinking. Any Ideas?

She swears, and Im like.. yeah I doubt that.. unless your possesed, you won't have black eyes
But do you know?

Should i worry to much about a small dark spot under my finger nail ? I doesn't hurt at all when touched, but over the past three days, it now turned into a blackish-purplish color. It looks like a bacterial infection. I should be fine as long as i clean it with an antiseptic such as ointment, right ?

I dislocated my knee ccap about 10 times in the past 2 or 3 years. It hurts more and more every time and it takes longer to heal everytime. I just finished about a 2 month physical therapy session. I now have to option of getting my knee scoped b/c i tore the ligament and cartilage that holds my kneecap in place. this should cut out all the stuff thats torn.

1. has anyone ever had this done to them?
2. does it hurt?
3. how long is the recovery process?
4. can u walk right after or do u need to keep it braced or something?

i know my doctor can answer this but i dont see him for about a week and im curious.

thanks.

I've been going to the gym regularly for almost a year, I estimate I've lost somewhere around 40lbs. of fat and gained around 20 in muscle mass. But I'm having a lot of trouble losing the last 10 lbs. of fat and putting on the last 15-20 of muscle.

I know this is because of a few things I'm doing wrong and I'm working on them but I have one problem.

I'm addicted to milk like it was cocaine (not that I do cocaine). I drink around 1/2 gal. of skim milk every day. I don't mix it with anything other than my lean protein after my workouts. I know the milk has some fat, but it's natural and packed with protein.

Other than killing my budget is this habit killing my workout routeine?

Please do not be rude and call me fat, hopeless, etc. I already know that I need to lose weight.

I'm 14 years old. I am 5 foot 2 inches. I weigh 150 pounds. My body fat percentage is around 28%. Can you give me suggestions that actually work. And tell me perhaps how many calorie intake i should be eating per day. And what excercise I can do without purchasing anything. I'm thinking about joining my high school track team and do the throws. Please help?! All my friends are size 0 and I want to be that size and curvy. My jean size ranges around from 3-6.

Okay so I'm trying to lose 20 pounds. I'm 135 lbs and 15 yrs old right now.Lately I've been really tired and weak though. I went to the doctor and they said I dont have anemia but I need to drink more water.I want to work up strength first before I try to workout. So I NEVER drink water, just enough to survive I guess. If I continue for 2 weeks drinking 8 cups of water everyday and eating fairly healthy (and without much exercise) How much weight should I lose the first two weeks?
