My 4 year old so is having pain with his penis. it comes on at least twice a day some times upwards of five times a day. When it happens he grabs his penis lays on the floor in a fetal position and twitches almost as if he's having convulsions. I have already taken him to his ped. and he tested him for a UTI which came back negative so he sent him for an ultrasound to check his bladder, kidneys and appendix. The ultrasound turned up nothing. He then prescribed him a cream for me to put on it thinking that maybe there was some other kind of infection in it, the cream also did not help so his Dr. said that he couldn't find anything and he has no clue as to why he is experiencing this pain and has run out of ideas on what it could be. if anyone has any ideas on what might be causing it please let me know. I can't bear the thought of him continuing to suffer like this It breaks my heart to see him in so much pain and know that at this point there's nothing I can do to make it better :(

i know that you can get cancer from heating up plastic, like in a microwave, but can you get it from freezing plastic, like in a freezer. ????

Ok, I just started a computer job and now my right hand tingles and shakes sometimes. Its like I've lost control of the muscles. It doesn't hurt and it doesn't necessarily stop me from doing my job but I was curious as to what the medical community thinks of this or if it's something that some hand strengthening exersizes will fix. I love my job and don't want to give it up, but if this is something that will only get worse, like carparal tunnels (spelling?) then I would also like to know how to fix it. Thank you to any and all answers, all information is appreciated.

My aunt right leg is swollen and was told that a cancer mass is blocking her veins causing the swelling. Radiation is a option.
So is surgery.

She is on a TPN IV that I give her at home. It initially was to give her nutrients to get her strong enough for chemo. She is now very sick and can't do chemo so doctor said she didn't have to have TPN any longer, but I feel this is keeping her alive because she hasn't eaten for many weeks.

My main symptoms are a new bowl movement cycle. I used to be fairly "regular". Now I am constipated a lot. When I do go, it's usually diareha or very soft. I am gasy, too. However, I don't really have abdominal pain. These symptoms have been going on for a few months. My abdomen and stomach area haven't grown (I'm about a 28-inch "true" waist), however, as soon as I eat anything it looks like I'm about 2 months pregnant. Also, my past two period cycles have been strange; very, very light and lasted for about a day. I didn't even need a tampon or panty liner. My grandmother died from breast cancer. I get regular PAPs and pelvic examps and my PAP last came back with the HPV virus; however, i just went last month and the HPV is gone. I feel more tired than usual, but I havent' lost or gained any weight and my appetite is the same. Sorry for the detailed explaination, but I wanted to provice as much information as possible in hopes of the best answer as possible:)

I get out and I get really lightheaded, things start looking slow motion, I lose my sense of hearing, I get nauseous, and almost pass out. I have to sit down various times and try and stand back up without passing out. why does this happen??? Anyone know? I'm really curious...

It's been three years. My CPAP machine (sleep apnea) does not seem to be helping. I have no personal or social life due to having lost interest in everything. My work life is to the point where I cannot function fully and will likely lose my job without improvement in my health.
My family doctor, endocrinologist, neurologist, and a psychiatrist have not found any answers.
Are you aware of any facilities who can take as much time as needed to check everything (head to toe). I am willing to be part of any experimental treatments or clinical studies.
I need help. This is no way for anyone to live. I have no problem knowing that I have a medical situation... but not knowing what the situation is and what can be done about it feels like a form of torture.
Any info you can share would be appreciated.
I am in northeast Ohio.

I'm worried that I have something wrong with my colon and I mean I know I do I have bile salts diahreea no family history of colon cancer and a family history of Poplps but not untill later in life in the 50 and 60s. I keep thinking that I see red in my stool and it freaks me out. I mean only if I dont take my questran otherwise the stool is formed and everything. I have seen two medical doctors that say its just bile salt diahreea and a surgeron who says proforming a colonscopy is more dangous then not with not having any other smphotms. I just want to know what someone else thinks am I freaking out to much. I so feel that a 23 yeas old shouldnt have to worry about something like this and oh yeah I did have my gallbladder out thats how I got the bile salt diahreea. Someone please help me ease my mind

he is suffering from fluid retention due to his chemo, which has been going on for a year now, and is in danger of developing thrombosis if he doesn't walk, but he is losing his will to fight.
He has a male nurse to help him up, but he just won't cooperate anymore. All of his functions are perfect, how can we motivate him to try and fight again?
