There is a child who had Scoliosis at age 4. 6 months later the Scoliosis was gone. It's been a few years and the spine is curved again. What explanation could there be for this?

My problem is that I get these red welt like sores above my calf on both legs. I do not know what is causing them. I use an Antibiotic Cream but it only clears up the scores for a little while and then they come back. Any solutions or cures?? Serious answers only please.

Last year, I had a nice crop of small itchy blisters on my left lower leg, almost in a 4"x2" swath across the front and curving to the back. Of course, I scratched, they turned red, popped (oozed clear liquid) and eventually healed, after much time. Well, since then I have had recurrent small crops of small blisters (same clear ooze) on my right hand, some fingers, and left arm. After the left arm crop, when I scratched (it itched!), the blisters popped, clear liquid oozed, and I was left with holes in the skin, kind of. Basically pits. Each itch session was preceded by stress. Any connection? What could it be?

I got these rashes or red bumps and its red, keeps repeating over and over. There's like one moment I wouldnt get them, and the next moment I get these bumps from my legs, my arms, back, chest etc., so I dont know what kind of "infection, disease, virus" I have. Its not insect bites, I dont think I have allergies, and if I dont scratch it usually spreads anyways. But touching it will transfer to where it'll infect the skin areas.

I;ve known for years that I have ADHD. Ive taken self tests online and in books etc, and have scored almost off the chart. Although I do have symptoms, I do not feel my life is too negatively impacted. I often say things without thinking and often forget minute details about something I don't deem important. My attention level is very bad unless I am raptly interested. My primary doctor says no doubt I have ADHD. But, she scared me with the potential side effects of the medicine. Plus, would I be changing who I am?

I think its because of smoking, when I stop I think it lightens up, or is that just me wanting to believe it is.

My stepfather has emphysema and acute respiratory disease. He is now taking morphine and was in a nursing home for about 7 weeks. He is back home now but we wonder how long he has realistically and if there is anything significant about him being on morphine.

ok so im 14, scared to death and a chronic worrier, that i'll have an asthma attack, i dont think ive ever had one. and im on the flovent (orange puffer) everyday i take it twice.

i dont think its like severe asthma but sometimes i feel tight and someone pinching me. or i need some fresh air. sometimes talking loud/alot can be hard!

im so terrified, and worrying ALL the time that im gonna die, even if im alright once in a while.


so basically: how can i stop worrying??should i be this worried?can it kill me? are you like this too?

(see what i mean, im thinking about it too much!!)
thanks.

My scalp seems to be burning and itching at the same time, it's been several weeks now, and it hasn't stopped.I thought it was the styling products, but i havent used them since. I've never had this before, it seems to start or be generalized on one side of my scalp, but then shortly after the whole scalp burns and itches, i don't have any red patches, or anything abnormal on my scalp that i can see...this doesn't happen every day...any ideas what it is and how to stop it?

I also have disc disease. I have been doing research, and there are alot of people who are having good results with much more potent narcotics like Oxycontin, Fentanyl and methadone. I do work out and stretch, but my back gives me the most trouble. Any doctors or nurses out there with suggestions? I have two children and work full time at home. My pain is sometimes so unbearable that I have to lay in bed all day. Please help!!!

i have scoliosis, im 15, ive known for 2 years, ive gone to doctors, and ive been through physical therapy, doctors say since im done growing a brace is pointless, and that it was bad enough to risk surgery....
.... last time i went to the doctor (bout a yr ago) about it they said i didnt really need to go back unless it got worse... ive been in ALOT of pain lately, ive been doing some exercies recomended by my physical therapist, when i was in it... and they havent help, i dont think my mom realizes how much pain i really am in, and NOTHING is working lately, and i think i need to go back to the doctor, but i cant, since my mom seems to think its not as bad as it is.... so basiclly: Ive been in soooooooo much pain, nothing has helped, i know i need to go to the doctor.... if they think i should get surgery, what do you think i should do?? i was lookin at some info bout surgery online, and it said less then 1 out 100 go wrong but still... should i risk it? [if the dr. thinks i should]

I had some questions about diabetes (more specifically juvenile diabetes)

1. When taking insilin (prob. spelled wrong), what do they use? An actual needle?

2. What happens if they forget to take the insilin (again, spelled wrong probably)

3. What can't they eat or drink?
