I have been suffering from tendinitis and tennis elbow of the forearms and elbows for over 3 years off and on, but mostly on. Everything I do to heal it seems to be only a temporary fix and it always returns, always...I've done physical therapy, cortisone injections, surgery, rest from work, you name it. I even paid some shmuck $35.00 online for information on how to heal it but it was only illustrations of the exercises that I already do at therapy. My elbows also hurt INSIDE the joint. I am totally beside myself and need help. I have asked for an MRI to hopefully reveal the problem but have gotten denied. I am in the process of trying to find a doctor that will approve one, but doesn anyone know what this is? I am willing to do anything to permanently cure this condition. I believe that there is a solution for everything and that it only needs to be found. Someone out there must know what is wrong with me or have somewhat of an idea so that I can research it further. Help!

i'm a 17 year old female. I'm of normal weight and pretty much a normal girl. Diabetes runs in my family so my dad was going to have me checked. I eat sweets and sugars quite often. I get tired alot... not too noticeable but dont have too much energy sometimes i don't know maybe i'm just lazy. At times i have frequent urination despite how much liquids i may drink. Is it a good idea for me to get tested?

I just turned 22 yesterday and when I changed in to some basketball shorts, I noticed how much worse my legs have gotten. It looks so horrible. I don't like showing my legs as it is, and now that this is happening, i most definitely don't. So I ask, if there is anything in this world that can get rid of them. I mean, aren't I too young to start getting them?

I have had a sharp pain in the center of my stomach, and it has gone on for like three weeks now, off and on. It happens especially before and after I eat, but it will not go away quickly, I have to lay down or sit. Also, my gallbladder is out, but when I get that sharp center pain it radiates to my lower shoulder blade and my lower back hurts sometimes too.Please advise, my doctor gave me these new acid pills called Zuregis or something like that but they do not seem to be helping.I am getting tired of having this pain and not be able to do anything to help it.I have also felt nausea too.Please suggest or advice. Thank You!
Note--I am 23 years old and have had my gallbladder removed this same year.

When i was 11, when i used to run about i found it hard to breathe and i hardly could breathe properly for about 1-2Minutes. Then when i was 12, 13 it didnt happen much so i didnt tell my mum about it. But the last week its happened everyday and its getting longer now around 4-5 Minutes. Sometimes i have to force a yawn just so i can breathe. Should i tell my mum about it? Anyone think they no what might be causing it? Or will it go away?

There is a small mass of something on my left testical. It doesnt feel thick of sturdy, it's like a jellowy feeling to it. I don't know what it is. It has a feeling of like a vein, which i am hoping it is. But of course veins aren't in a ball like shape. It is particularly small, does anyone know what it is?

A friend of mine has been diabetic since he was 11 y.o. He is 55 now. He had a kidney transplant a couple of years ago, but the new kidney is now only 20% functional because of the BK-virus. He started having problems with his legs about 6 months ago and now he can not feel one of his feet and can barely limp on the other one. Doctors say that the nerve in one foot died and the other foot will always be swollen and hurt quite a bit.

Somebody recommended Vanadyl Plus, but it is too toxic for the transplanted kidney.

I wonder if anybody knows of any treatment for such complications from diabetes. We need something that would work for a type 1 diabetes patient with a kidney transplant.
