My mom has had back surgery, two knee replacements, foot surgery. She did not follow up on rehab at all after her 2nd knee, does not exercise. She has left-sided inflamation head to toe, including the optic nerve. Urinary and bowel incontinence. This has been going on for years. Her eye Dr. said there was bleeding in the eye that has lost vision. I see similaritites with MS but the loss of vision was that last symptom and what I have researched says it's typically the first. She also has a bulging disc on L5. Is it possible that long term nerve damage and spinal cord compression can cause the same symptoms as MS?

When I was younger I used to have high grade fevers (103-104F) and need to know what type of things I should look out for. I have had various memory problems while growing up.

Did the fevers have anything to do with it?

What can I do to work on it and what should I look out for as an effect of them?

when I try to use the bathroom it absolutely kills, and only drops of urine can bypass the obstruction. It has slowly formed into a huge lump that also has little mini white-yellowish cysts on the lump itself. I had unprotected sex with a real slutty girl 2 weeks ago, could it be related to her and if it is could it be herpes? help me.

I had rectal bleeding for two days. I went to the doctor and she said it was either hemmoroids or an anal fissure becuase I'm so young. I was straining and constipated before the bleeding started. 2 days later I wasn't bleeding anymore. My appointment with a specialist is in 2 weeks, should I keep it or should I cancel since the bleeding has stopped?
