Do I need surgery or can this cyst be aspirated? What is the chance of it returning if aspirated? I have pain radiating down the ulna into my hand.

I have been put on a waiting list for knee replacements. It is a major operation and is it going to benefit me? Will I be able to do all the things I find difficult now, like walking long distances? I would appreciate other people's experiences.

In other words if I work on the parts of my body where these aches are occuring, will they go away for the most part if they're muscle related?

My dominant hands nails are wider/bigger than my other hand, it is noticale more than my friends who have the same problem, when should I go to the doctors over it, I have the same situation with my toes, one each bigger than the other foot.My hand nails are not massively noticeable but you can tell more than a normal person who has a larger dominant hand, is it common for people to have this, are humans symmetrical.

ON one finger it left a bruise but other ones just hurts.
Can that be serious?
Can that be a sign of a serious desease like HIV?

I am having real problems just now, losing my breath and have a constant runny nose and cough. I thought at first it was due to dust during house renovations but months later the house is spotlessly clean and the problems getting worse. I've got a Ventolin inhalor from the doc but it only helps for a few minutes and even that causes me to cough. I dont know what sets it off cos it happens at home, at work and outside. I'm feeling so miserable because of it and am even afraid to have a laugh now because that sets of a massive coughing fit.
Sorry to prattle on but really fed up with this.

Five years ago, I fell off my bike and injured my knee. I went to see an orthopedic surgeon who sent me for an MRI, and said that everything was normal, but I still had pain and swelling and I couldn't walk on it. So for four and a half years I've been dealing with the pain and swelling. This past week I went to see another orthopedic, and he looked at the results from the MRI and said the results showed possible torn cartillage(however you spell it). He sent me for another MRI as well as a bone scan this past weekend. Yesterday they told me there was an abnormality behind the kneecap(patella), and for me to continue wearing a knee immobilizer for another three weeks. No amount of any pain medication takes the pain away, or even dulls it, and ice does nothing. Does anyone have a clue what might be wrong? I just need some hints. No one seems to believe me because I don't exhibit pain very well. PLEASE HELP!! I'm only 18, and I can't do anything because of, or for, the pain.

Its not carbon monoxide poisoning because we have a tester and no one else gets it apart from me. Its doesnt happen when i am awake only if i am sleeping, for example, my dad comes in from working nights and puts the fire on, immediately when i eventually wake up(which is so hard) i immediatley know its been on as i can feel completely groggy, this feeling lasts all day as if i have been drugged? Is there anything I can do?
