I'n having outpatient surgery on Wed for a couple of lumps on my anterior (inside) forearms. On is hard and hurt a little when pushed on, the other I didn't even know was there til i went to the dr about the other one. They think they're lipomas (fatty tissue build up). My problem is that they are only going to use a local anesthetic to remove them and I'm not sure if they are taking out the whole things or just a piece. My mom scared me when she said, "they're only using a local. They don't know you very well. Those are awful deep." Now I'm worried I'll be in more pain than I originally thought. Especially if they take out the whole thing. Help please!!!! And does anyone know what causes lipomas if that's what it is?

I am 26 and have had fibromyalgia (FM) for almost 7 years now. Everything I read about FM is on management and living with the condition. It would be great to hear if anyone has had sucess in overcoming this horrible (invisible) disease.

I have had a sty on my eye for about a month now. It has gotten bigger and bigger. It's not painful but it is a nuisance. How long should you wait before going to the doctor about these things. I have been applying a warm cloth for over a week and there has been no sign of improvment. Thanks.

There are instances in many diseases where natural treatments are better or just as good as conventional medicine.

I was after scientific articles displaying evidence for natural treatments in gangrene...of course, taking into account the co-use of conventional medicine such as antibiotics.

I have read several medical blogs about children with various medical conditions that are TPN-dependent. I know of at least one child who went into liver failure as a result of this. What causes this form of nutrition to be so hard on the liver?

This is the main (most frequent) area that I get this deadness - but it also sometimes effects either or both legs and seems to be tied in to a loss of hair to the outside of my thighs. I'm sure there must be a medical name for this but haven't found it yet... Any pointers would be welcome.

The webist I read from http://www.aidstruth.org shows no evidence of HIV causes AIDS. If it does then why did they published this on there website 22 years later. To me that is no evedience that HIV is not the cause of AIDS. If HIV is the Cause of AIDS Show me the hard evidence from the science litrature, and journals that HIV is the Cause of AIDS?
