There are many reasons it seems for the fusions i read about on this site. My problem is said to be "sinus tarsi syndrome" and there seems to be some question as to the validity of such a thing. I am supposed to have it. And fusion is said to be a possible answer for me. But my doctor says he doesn't believe in it! I wonder if anyone else has had any experience with this at all. It does not seem to be a problem mentioned by anybody but me as a reason for there fusion. I have had one operation already to remove the fat bad in hope of fixing my controversial problem. With little sucsess.

We were eating dinner and my husband suddenly zoned out and went red. I had thought he was choking but he didn't come out of it. His left hand and leg were shaking- and then he was fine. This has never happened before. My brother is a flight paramedic and checked him out- but he needs to be seen by a doctor now-NOW. He refused to go until tomorrow. Fine- I'll watch him tonight and take him tomorrow.

This has never, ever happened before...ever.
What can cause this, what are treatments, what what do I do to let him know how very serious this is??? He never goes to the doctor- not unless he is deathly ill. He is 39. He smokes despite my pleas to quit. Otherwise, he seems to be in good health.

I am really, really scared.

My mother, 64, is to see a DR on Wed, but I am wondering what the possiblities could be. She lives in another state, & on the phone not too long ago she asked what a panic attack felt like, I told her of mine & she said she thought she was having them bc she was having shortness of breath. She told my sister she was going to have a mamogram(wed) because she was feeling pains in her breasts, no lumps. I think she tried to write off the breast pains & breathing problems as a mild panic attack, but I think she is sure that is not what it is. She lives with a smoker, has all of her life and she works in a bar around smokers. I am wondering if the DR's are looking for lung cancer. What other things could show these symptoms?

I'm a 48 years old female with advaned osteoarthritis in my right ankle. I'm sure the bad car wreck I had 17 years ago breaking both my legs didn't help.
Not knowing what to expect after the surgery, I think it would help to have someone who is going through it too to talk with. To be honest, I'm scared. I have put this off for about 6 years and now I'm to the point of not having a choice. The pain is so bad, I walk with a limp and now that has effected my hip and back. Maybe I want have to go through alone.

Over the past month I've had increasing problems with my eyes tearing up, one more than the other. I am now rubbing, wiping off my makeup and look like I'm crying at work. I wake in the morning with my eyelids stuck together. I was recently diagnosed with diabetes. Any ideas?

I was just wondering if anyone with hypothyroidism has lost the weight they gained from their hypothyroid when they were put on medication ... If so, which medication ... Also, has anyone found a certain medication that actually made them gain even more weight then just the thyroid alone?

I'm writing a short story for a writing competition, and I have a character that dies of a (right now unknown) disorder that aggravates itself due to strenuous physical activity, and she dies from it (don't say it's too common for someone to die from something in a story, that's the point). Are there any disorders that have this effect? (for example, problems with mitochondrion or the heart)

Cheers,
Kkori

i'm trying to find the term for what some people call "the chills", as in, "it gives me the chills". it's sort of a spasm that people get in the spinal region when they get scared, or otherwise. i'm not looking for the "chills" associated with shivering or fevers. muchas gracias.

I know this sounds ridiculous, but my wife insisted I ask.

She believes in taking off one's socks before turning in, implying that some grievous harm will come to those who regularly do not do so.

i had a kidney stone a few months ago. my doctor told me i was too young to be getting them (i'm 18) and since i didn't catch the stone when it came out, he really couldn't tell me why i was getting them. he basically told me to drink lots of water (already did), not drink pop (haven't in over 2 years), and stay away from certain foods (didn't eat most of them in the first place.) then, he went on to tell me that i was a "stone builder" since i have two more lodged in my kidney. the only food i can really say i have a problem with is chocolate- i'm addicted to it. could this be part of the reason? and would it really matter all that much if i ate it since i'm a "stone builder" anyway?

thanks for your help! i meant to ask my urologist but i can't get in for a few months. boo. :( kidney stones are the worst though, i wouldn't wish them on anyone.

My husband has recently been suffering from these awful, debilitating headaches that last for weeks. He can't take any over the counter pain meds because they really upset his stomach, and perscriptions like T3 are even worse...plus they don't help. He's had a CT scan and everything is normal, he's tried getting a lot of sleep, drinking caffine and using Head On, antihistamines, decongestants and steroid nasal spray but nothing really seems to help.

The pain seems like it could be sinus, and it doesn't always stay in the same place. It can be on one side of his forehead, or both, the top of his head, behind his eyes etc.

Any suggestions anyone?
