Male 52 years of age no doctor no insurance. In the past couple of days I have experienced pain in my left testicle the pain also seems to include the pubic bone area. If I apply pressure to the area it does relieve the pain momentarly. Also pressure is felt in the area that is constant. Bowel movements are difficult as pressure adds to the pain. Any Ideas?

I was bitten recently, but I can't figure out when since I haven't been outside for hours now and it's night. I thought it was mosquitoes, but it no longer itches, and I have been here two weeks without a single mark. I only need to know this because I'm trying to figure out if the insect is within my room or not, plus I freak out when it comes to bugs.

For a few years I have this burning pain in my upper abdomen just below my breast.Sometimes it is all the way across and sometimes it is just on the left side right below the ribs.I have had c scan,light ran down my throat,up the other way,with nothing found except acid reflux and a colon polyp.I have very bad acid indigestion at times worse then others.I went to the emergency room after I could not take the pain another day and he said it was ulcers.No test at all he did not even touch me,just told me it was ulcers.Never been told before by any other Dr. That I had any ulcers.But he says ulcers after seeing me for three minutes.Gave me some green stuff which helped some,but I still get this irritating burning pain and stomach bloating.Has anyone with ulcers have this same burning pain.

I'm not sure but i think i might have a slight case of O.C.D. I have to keep everything even but not just objects but myself. If lets say i bang my knee on a table, i would have to bang my other knee with the same amount of force to even it out. If when im washing my hands and a drop of water drips on my foot, i would have to drop a drip on my other foot at the same spot. If i dont do it then it'll just annoy me cuz i feel unbalanced. I also wash my hands alot when i touch certain things like the doorknob cuz i dont like the smell of it (it has a stinky metal smell to it) or even dishwashing liquid for the same reason (without the metal part) i need to use regular soap. I wasnt born with these habits, they just started maybe a year ago and its not serious enough that i lose sleep or anything but it can be quite annoying. So is it O.C.D. or just some bad habits?

since sept i been getting on and off lower back pain. i guess you can say right where the kidneys area, so in that area. it comes for a few weeks and then goes away and comes back. i got an ultrasound been in oct to check for tumors and such and it came back negative. My doctor suggested its just back pain and it will go away. he didnt give me anything. what can this be, a friend of mine had severe lower back pain for like a year without getting it looked at and then it wound up being tumors all over his kidneys and liver and it was non hodgkins disease. im not saying i have what he had bc at the end he had bowel and urine blackness. i have nothing wrong with my bowel or urine. no discolor. but im just nervous bc i havent been back to a doctor about this since november. but do u think its something serious, bc if its just back pain i can deal with it but if its something else i dont know what to do..please help me

We were learning about mutations in Biology class, and Marfan Syndrome really sounded a lot like me. Here are some things that may be considered symptoms?

-My shoulders are EXTREMELY flexible. I can do really, really weird stuff. (example: touch my elbows together behind my back.)

-I have a very large frame. I'm 5'9, 14 years old, and I have long arms and fingers.

-I get weird blackouts in my eyes a lot. Whenever I stand up from sitting for a long period of time, I completely black out for a few seconds and can't see anything. [I don't know if this has anything to do with it or not, but I remember it had something to do with the eyes.]

Do I perhaps have a mild case?

I play softball. About a week after Easter, at softball practice, we were praticing sliding into home. When I slid, I slid wrong and have an open scar on my knee. It bleed for a couple seconds and the bleeding went away. The next day, we pratice sliding again and I made the scar open more. Again, it bleed for a couple seconds and stopped. Now, there isn't no dry blood or anything, but there is a red dot where the scar was. And it still hurts.

Another insident is acouple months ago, in Italian, we were doing this skit in front of the class and I had to play dead. When I got on to the floor, I got a rug burn. Again, there is a red dot there, still.

Most of my other scars that bleed took a REALLY long time to go away. Do I have a diease or is it just how my body works.

Let me rephrase that, a normal ESR for women under 50 is like 20, so what could cause it to rise 16? Because serious illnesses are around 100+ and small illnesses can cause it to rise by a little, so what could cause a female's ESR to rise by 16? Not including the flu, cold, joint pain and menustration (so possibly an abnormality she doesn't know she has)

Last year I was diagnosed with GAD and went on lexapro. The lexapro did help to alleviate my symptoms but I hated take a drug everday to feel normal. I weaned myself off the medicine in October and have been fine ever since. I recently got sick with a sinus infection and had to go to the doctor and for some reason now I feel some of my symptoms may have returned. Mainly nauseau and being jittery. I took a xanax and the doctor said I could go back on lexapro but I really don't like being on the meds. I feel horrible though. No appetite at all.

My neurologist originally said "primary progressive" and prescribed Copaxone. My insurance company denied the claim. In turn my doctor then asked me a few more questions, diagnosed secondary progressive then prescribed Betaseron injections. Insurance Oked this claim so that is what I have been doing for 2 1/2 years now. What else should I be doing? My doctor is not much help and I have to do all the research myself.
