i have a lump on the top of my right eyelid and I'm wondering if I go for surgeory and cut it out which will be left a scar, will the scar go away eventually?
Or will it stay there on my face forever?
Does treatment work?(what kind)

I've had this lump/cist on the top of my right eyelid for 2 years and the same doctor keep telling me to wait until it heals but it seem to never heal. He gave me two choices as to undergo surgeory and get a scar or leave it there.
I can't stand how I always have to cover it under my frindge. It's purple colour and looks a little swell.

I DON'T want to have a scar after i go for surgeory. I'm afraid that it'l never go away.

Should I wait and see if it goes away or should I go for surgeory?

I read this recently and had a tonsillectomy yesterday. It would explain a lot as I am in a lot of pain (even though I have Super Pain Killers). Any help would be awesome.

I put ear plugs in to help me sleep and I stuck one in too far. I had trouble getting it out. Now my ear and most of my jaw really hurt. I am also feeling dizzy and as if the room is spinning. Can it really be caused by the ear plugs?

They did a great job of relieving plantar fasciitis pain, but I can't find more to buy in any stores. Even having trouble finding them on the net.

I know of illegals get better treatment than the tax payers. Even tax payers have to show ID and proof on health insurance. If tax payers has no insurance they take down everything about you and you whole family. The hospitals should at least turn them in if they suspect someone is here illegal

I am having pain in my right side. It is alittle above my hips and right below my ribs. It is tender when I push on it, when I cough it feels like something inside is going to explode and it hurts to bend sideways. I am not pregnant and it has been going on for about a month.

I usually wake up 1-3 times in the middle of the night. I've always been this way, and recently I realized that it may not be normal... is it?

I'm pretty much ALWAYS tired, but it's been that way for so long that i just manage. Could this be why?

Ok I get this thing sometimes where I get these incredible waves of pain that go shooting through my arm. It has happened in both arms at different times. I'll move my arm and I will feel the briefest of reliefs before the waves start shooting through it again. This pain is so horrible, it's the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life. Now here's the weird part, each time after I have had a decent bowell movement the waves of pain subside. At first I thought that was crazy but every subsequent time, that has proven to be the case. I have also been having problems with constipation and extremely excessive at times urination which I'm getting looked into. Can anyone explain this waves of pain, it may have nothing to do with bowell movements, but It always subsides after a bowell movement. Also I occasionally get sharp pains in my chest and a lot of pressure which also is relieved by a bowell movement. I almost always feel bloated or crappy even when I've went to the bathroom

Sometimes they fall alseep when I'm just sitting not even leaning on them at all. Other times when I'm laying on my stomach with arms over head to lay on. I understand laying on them will make them go to sleep but, it happens within seconds. this just started about a month ago.

I live in a apartment building, there is only one way to get in and out of the apartment building. There used to be two post to hold on to. but one of them has been broken since August of 2006. The landlord come here all the time and dont fix it. He just leave it. Right now it is winter and there is alot of snow and ice at times, but it hard sometimes to walk up and down on these steps, and than one of the post missing, you dont have any support. If someone was to slip and fall , hurt there back or even broke a bone. Due to the negligance of the landlord. Could you sue him for pain and suffering and stuff? What would be the proper steps in filing a lawsuit? What are somethings I would need to prove my case and win?

Over the past two years I've noticed a steady decline in the strength in both my thumbs, particularly in my left. I play guitar so this is especially as frustrating, because when I play barre chords (they require pressure from the thumb by pushing on the back of the fret board), I can only do it for a short period of time before I have to bow out due to the pain. Lately I've noticed even regular notes are hurting my thumb, which do not require much strength at all. I've noticed it starts hurting when I'm applying pressure and then releasing constantly.

The pain usually resides in the joint at the very bottom of my thum and palm. The tendons surrounding the joint sometimes hurt too. However, sometimes it feels my thumb itself is hurting as well.

I'm only 20 and I did go and see a doctor and physio and they both acted as if it's all in my head. This is incredibly frustrating as it is pushing me further and further way from enjoying my instrument.

Thanks to anyone who can answer.

While lifting weights I get this nerve pain that shoots down the back of my right forearm (if my hand is palms down, then its on the top of my forearm, around 2-5 inches above my elbow). This especially happens whenever I attempt to do incline press. I have tried stretching, without too much success. Perhaps I don't know how to stretch it properly. What should I do?
