I had an MIR of my kidneys. The urologist said...."oh I see you have spina Bifita" What I asked what? he changed the subject. I assume it is internal becasue I am a middle aged woman. I have always had back problems and urinary problems. My tailbone hurts when I lay on my back. I can't believe that no doctor in my entire life has never told me.? What can I do about it now at this phase of life? Will it get worse as I age? Is this why I have had so many health problems in my life?

She's the bravest lady I know, she's 74 and wonderful. Unfortunately, this past week she had to have her yearly mammogram, they also did a sonogram just to be sure, and the doctor found a lump that he is 99.9% positive cancerous. She had a lump removed 6 years ago and has been cancer-free until now.
Right now there's not a whole lot happening; she has a biopsy this coming Monday, then after that they'll do an MRI to see where the cancer is, if it has spread. Sooner or later she will have surgery, and perhaps radiation or chemo. That part remains to be seen.

When this happened in 2000, I wasn't here, I was in Venezuela. I didn't even know about it until after she'd had the surgery and was recovering since my parents didn't tell me; they didn't want me to cancel my trip. So now I don't know what to do exactly to help her with this... she told me not to "hover", yet I'm sure she needs some distraction in the coming days. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I have never smoked, but, have developed a lung nodule. The doctor will have it xrayed every 6 mos. A PET SCAN indicated it was not cancerous. Why do lung nodules form and what percentage probability can one become cancerous?

my son has a congenial heart defect. he is now 16 months old. well tonight while eating he passed out. or at least that's what it seemed like to me. first i shook him gently then i lightly tapped his cheeks and that woke him. then just a few minutes later i took him to change his diaper and he passed out or fell asleep again. i have woken him every hour just to be sure and when he stay up everything seems noraml now. do you think the i am over reacting or could this be a sign that his heart is giving him trouble?

also if anyone knows what the normal heart and pule rate is for a child of 16 months i would really appreciate it. I had it in paper work and it is missing now.

These headaches are at the base of my skull. I've tried heat, ice, massage, hot showers, and all the over counter stuff. I just can't afford a doctor right now. Any advice would be helpful.

I visited the doctor today because of an injury to my foot. It was found I sprained my ankle and was told I also had a Heart Murmur.Now I am a bit worried.I had been sick for 3 days prior to my ankle injury and was experienceing dizzyness
paleness,and shortness of breath. And I realized that these are some of the symptoms of a Heart Murmur, but did not know this while I was at the doctor. I also have asthma so I figured that was what was causing my symptoms. But I dont believe it is the asthma acting up, since I have had to use Abuterol more than four times this week. I didnt tell the doctor this, he is not my regular doctor. What test should I have done, I have had a Stress test, Heart Imaging test, and electrocardiogram two months ago, and they turned out to be normal. Should I be concerned about the doctors findings on the heart murmur.

my boyfriend has type 1 diabetes and i try to explain to him that since his body works different from all of his friends, it's not good for him to be smoking weed all the time. i know it's not good period, but is there any medical evidence anyone knows about that proves it? or maybe your own theories?

I have only heard of herpes on the genitals or the mouth. Can it be on other parts of the body, even the chest area?

I know someone who raises chickens as a hobby and is always out there feeding them and making nesting boxes for them, etc. She hasn't been feeling well lately, she's been sick for almost 3 weeks with nausea, she vomits at least once a day. She has an appetite but then later in the day she gets a tightening in her stomach and throws up. No fever. She also has diarrhea. Could it be something she could have caught from the chickens? I have no other idea of what it could be.
