i weigh 194 lbs (5'10") and when i do chin ups right about number 6 I get pain in my neck on my right side right in my traps. I can only do 8 pull ups due to the pain. The pain is located almost on my collar bone, i've dislocated my right shoulder in the past and also when i run for 30 min or more i get a slight pain feeling in the same area. I do work out on a some what regular basis including my shoulders and i still get th pain when doing chin ups or pull ups. Thanks

I'm using birth control for the first time and my doctor prescribed it to clear up my acne. She prescribed Orthro Tri Cyclen but my pharmacist said TriNessa is the generic version and my insurance wouldn't pay for brand name. The first month I saw my face clearing up a lot but now the second month my skin when crazy. I suddenly have so many breakouts. I've been reading mixed reviews about TriNessa but could that be the reason for the breakout? Should I try the brand name instead or another one like Yaz?

I posted a question on here a few weeks ago because i was concerned. Well im going to ask a new question. I have been with my girlfriend for 6 months and up until about a month ago things have been great. Come to find out this time of the year has always been really bad for her. She has had episodes in the past during this time of the year. Well about a month ago she really started acting distant. Not really calling as much not asking to hang out as much. I kinda just started calling her more and asking to hang out more to make up for her not doing it. Now its been a month of this and its getting really frustrating. She would usually spend the night at my place at least 3 times a week and i cant remember the last time she has recently. I havent seen her at all today and i think ive talked to her maybe 3 times all day long with our last conversation being the longest but not really an interesting conversation. Just some times of akward silence. Shes been busy all day but shes home now

I'm about to start on anti-depressant medication, but have heard it causes sexual side affects? Is this common and exactly what problems does it cause? I don't want to ge ED (erectile dysfunction) or anything like that from the medicine. Also, if you do get sexual side affects do they go away after you stop the medication. Thanks.

I went in for a routine suction D&C following the birth of my daughter (the doctor believed there were retained POC's). It was supposed to be a 30-minute outpatient procedure with complications including cramping and spotting. I was given the option not to have surgery and to let it pass on it's own (the clot was getting smaller with every ultrasound), but there was some risk of infection. So, I agreed to the procedure. During the procedure, "something" happened, they haven't really been able to tell me how, but my uterus was perforated, my right fallopian tube was torn off, and my bowels were "bruised". Major abdominal surgery was performed and I was transfered by ambulance to the hospital, where I stayed for 24 hours. Friends/family have suggested a malpractice lawsuit to cover the 6 weeks lost wages, the hospital/ambulance bills and damages including the loss of fertility and added risk for future deliveries, which due to the size of the perforation will have to be c-section.

How long should I wait after a urinary tract infection to drink alcohol? I went to the doctor, and I finished my three day prescription today. She told me to avoid drinking alcohol, but didn't say for how long. How long should I wait? It was only a lower UTI (not in the kidneys).

I have a tight foreskin (phimosis) and I have been told that an option is to undergo circumcision. I am 14 and I was wondering whether anyone has had a similar experience that they could relate to me. I am interested in your opinions on the differences and benefits as well as any issues or problems that you now have because of it!
Thank you very much!

I have ADHD and it is severely affecting my school grades. I have a friend who gave me a Ritalin pill a year ago and it really worked. I told my parent about it but they refuse to prescribe it because they are blinded by the dangers and ignore to the benefits I need. Is there any way I can get the pills without my parents like a free clinic or something? I am 17, in high school, and have insurance.

I've been going to my therapist for close to a year, and I have been borderline clinically depressed. Latley it has become worse, and my sleeping patterns are horrible, I'm always tired, unmotivated to do anything, and pretty much sick of my life (which is pretty bland anyway). I'm in a downward spiral and can't escape this so I'm going to the doctor tomorrow, and am going to talk to him about getting anti-depressant medicine. I've never been on any kind of pills so I am kind of scared, but has anyone taken them or know anyone who has? I've not been going to my job and college I can't deal with it anymore and I'm hoping this will help me feel better. Do anti-depressents really work? I dont want to get my hopes up if they don't work. Can anyone tell me what kinds did or didnt work for them. Thanks

2 days ago I had a severe panic attack for the first time. I was feeling as though I was having a heart attack, or dying. It subsided within 2 hours and I was left with a pain in my chest and difficulty breathing. Now I have not been able to go to sleep, as soon as I start to doze off, I get a bad pain in my chest and need to gasp for air. I literally didn't sleep at all last night! I made a doc appointment for day after tomorrow but it is starting to feel worse. Should I go to the emergency room?? Is this just panic attack or worse? Any help/ suggestions would be appreciated. I am 21 and haven't had any previous heart trouble.

I had shoulder surgery about 5 weeks ago. Initially I was doing really well for 2 weeks or so. Now my shoulder is killing me and my range of motion has decreased. I had a pain pump after surgery and have read alot about them causing problems with damage to the shoulder. Does anyone know if it is possibly from the pump or something else? Supposed to go to dr next tuesday but desperate to relieve pain now. By the way I have been to therapy 3 times a week for past 4 weeks.

I have been tested with this problem and without it at my OBGYN. and it all came back negative for ANY STD. Yet I still have this problem.

I have a bump, kinda like blood blister on the lip of my virgina and it itches, I scratch it and what have you then it doesnt bother me for awhile. Then it turns white and I can pop it and all this blood comes out and it goes away. It usually only comes 1week before my pd or the week after.

If its not an STD what is it? What can I do for it?

I'm just curious and just read this off of some where and heard someone talking about it. Does it really help your skin? And if you do put it on, wouldn't dirt and things like that get stuck or stick to the gel? What does Vaseline or Petrolium Jelly do for your skin and how does it help you??

Having been having problems ever since i had change courses last semster in school and to make things worse my grandmother also had a heart attack during the period. My grades got badly affected because of this i went from a 3.6 gpa to a 2.6

But the shocking truth is that the way i felt then is the same way i am feeling now. Even though its been like 6 mths since this events. Only today do i realise that i may be having PTSD
