Health - 31 December 2007

Right before and during the first few days of my period, I have really bad cramps in my legs. What can I do besides popping tons of ibuprofen to help ease the pain?

Say per hour, with a medium and noticeable activity level. It would help if someone could tell me how many a normal person would burn per hour while awake compared to when asleep, just an educated guess would do.

Ok, so I haven't acutally started my period yet, but I dance ballet 6 days a week with about 3 weeks off a year. This means that wearing a pad anytime except at night and on Sundays is impossible because there's no way a pad will stick to my tights, and either way, it will show through. Is it OK to use a tampon on my first period, or should I wait a while? Also, are some brands easier to use than others? My last question's answers said I should start really soon, so should I be prepared?

I usually do 5 sets of 25 push-ups throughout the day, and around 4 sets of 50 crunches. I also get about 12 minutes of running on a treadmill at 5 mph, and on the weekdays about 40 minutes of P.E. Is this too much? Not enough? My friend said that working out every day was bad, but is my routine even enough to be considered working out?

Today I blew my nose and saw a faint line of red/orange in there and thought no big deal. Well again I've seen blood and I am a bit concerned. Also today just after waking up I was having trouble talking, I think I may be loosing my voice. I would appreciate anyones help on this. I'm 13 by the way. My mom dosen't quite like taking me to the doctor so I need to know if this is serious.

please you guys i am being so serious. i think i might be depressed, but this isn't dealing with my question. i want to know i have a purpose in life and that people care about me. right now i dont feel that AT ALL. i feel no need to explain why, bc it is alot, but i will just tell you i feel really empty inside and basically like i have no emotion. i feel numb. anyways i never really prayed and dont go to church but that doesnt mean i dont believe in God. but praying and asking God what my purpose in life is, or for him to prove i have a purpose otheriwse i feel i might do something stupid that i will regret. i kind of feel like i dont deserve to be healthy and happy. instead i should be really sick and almost dying in a hospital and see if people would actually care about me or just forget me and wouldn't even notice if i were to die. thats how i feel. im sorry if its confusing im just speaking whats in my mind. im 16. i know i should be happy w/ it being a new year but im just not..

My husband age 26 went to Urgent care for an odd stomach pain under the rib area on one side. This pain was really odd, and he also had loose bowls. They did a catscan, which showed a swollen spleen, and lymph node near the groin. Also some abnormal blood work came up. Today we went to see the surgeon for a biopsy. The surgeon said that he felt no lymph node. Then said that we are seeing the wrong doctor, and sent us to a hematologist/oncologist doctor. I'm irratated, cause waiting sucks. And I'm sure many of you know the feeling of not knowing. Then we called the Urgent care doctor to make sure that we need to see this cancer doctor. He said yes, that he was unsure of whether to send us to the surgeon for a biopsy or to the cancer doctor. I guess the blood work was nothing too alarming. I know for sure the bun was high, and something about the liver enzimes. ?? But no infection showed up such as tuberculosis. If the lymph node was a mistake, and it's not there, then why? HElP

Sorry if TMI, but yesteday I came home from dinner and tried to have a bowel movement (which I did) and when I wiped it was red. Then I noticed in the toilet it was pretty red too. I just figured maybe it was cause from wiping too hard. But it really scared me, and then I looked it up online and saw all the reasons that could cause it such as ulcers and cancer and hemmeroids. To contact a dr, would I contact my OBGYN or my regular dr. I really need some advice.
