I have had knee pain for years and finally went to the doctor. They took x-rays and saw a 2 inch lesion in my left knee. Now I'm scheduled for a MRI. What do they hope to see in the MRI? Also what is the chances that this is cancer or something else?

Anyone can answer, but I am also particularly interested in anyone who has has Diabetes, CHF, cancer, Hypertension or any other life threatening disease. Let me know your nationality, what disease you have, and when/how you found out you had it... also drop a line about why you think these diseases are more prevalent in African Americans.

Well i went fishing on the beach for about 9 hours 4 days ago, i forgot my sunscreen. My legs got so extremely burn, 2nd degree from what I can tell.

My legs are extremely red/pink, my legs and feet have swollen to about 2x their normal size. I am unable to walk or even let my legs hang in the perpendicular position because the pressure in my leg feels so extreme like blood vessels are about to burst. The actual sunburn pain has been getting better, but the swelling has not gone down and I am unable to walk.

My job (i work in retail) is thinkin about firing me since I have been unable to come to work. I have no idea what to do, i've been taking 2 advil and 2 tylenol to manage the pain but it doesnt help much. How long will this last? What can I do to be able to get back on my feet again, vinegar, aloe, cold bath, vitamin E arent seeming to do anything.

I am going to a clinic where free blood sugar check and free cholesterol check will be done. How will they do this ? Stick my finger ?

I had something done, like a blood draw, at my doctor's office 8 months ago and was told no sign of diabetes, no sign of high blood pressure, but total cholesterol was 210. I do not have any diseases.
