Can a doctor refuse to see you unless you have a physical exam first?


Answer:
A doctor would be able to justify his or her decision to refuse to see you without a physical exam first and it would likely be a good reason as well. The thing is that he/she would need to know your overall condition before treating whatever symptoms you're manifesting. You may find such a decision unreasonable but it really isn't. Many patients visit doctors for one complaint, only to find out that it is being caused by a different or bigger problem. Therefore, a thorough and competent doctor would want to do a physical exam first. There is also the issue of compliance. If a patient is going to tell the doctor what he/she needs to do and how or when it needs to be done, then that patient needs to see a doctor who will tolerate such non compliance. There are many who won't want to treat such patients because they will present other problems in the long run.
If you haven't had a physical in over a year I'm sure they could. If you had one from a previous doctor have your medical records sent.
A doctor who does not do at least the minimum physical exam when seeing a patient is not doing the patient any favor, and I would question the behavior of such a doctor.

When you go to a doctor with a complaint, which is assumed, there are routine things that are done such as vital signs (temp, BP, pulse, weight, review of meds you are on.) and then the doc should do other things especially based on your complaint, which of course are listening to your heart, lungs and bowel sounds if applicable, along with appropriate blood work. Without these things the doctor can't rule out immediately suspected problems. New patients also have to provide a medical history for the doctor. These findings are all used as a baseline when you are a patient and all doctors will usually insist on it for new patients or if you do not visit regularly.

Can a doctor prescrible human growth hormones to a 17 year old?

Also do you think the patient will see any results in height?
Answer:
I would discuss this with a doctor.
i would hope a doc wouldn't prescribe that to anyone, even if they are over 18 - they cant be safe - you are the height you are, deal with it or get lifts for your shoes.
Only if the 17 year old has a deficiency in that hormone. If it's just because he wants to get taller, than no, he won't. Also, their needs to be parental consent whenever there is any medication given to an underaged minor.
They only would if there is a an acceptable medical reason for needing the medication.

They don't give it to people who just want to get a little taller.
I guess he can, and its not for sure, but maybe you will see a change in height
are you crazy? why would you put that junk in a child?
YES and YES.
Hard to get any height gains that late, might though. It all depends on the growth plates at the end of your long bones. They will close at some point and 17 is about that time. And they really won't grow after that. And it will be hard to get the doctor to prescribe if you don't have a documented pituitary problem.
Usually human growth hormone is not prescribed for those who have not completed their bone growth.
Growth hormone INJECTIONS are most effective if your epiphyses or growth plates haven't closed as yet. Although any doctor can prescribe them, your best bet would be to consult a reputable endocrinologist for advice and prescription. Also, human growth hormone is VERY expensive.

Can a doctor or medical person look at these symptoms please?

We are going to the doctor in the next few days, but I was wondering if anybody could help. On Tuesday, my boyfriend passed out while getting a tattoo, but being that it was his 4th, we dont think it had to do with the tattoo. He did not hit his head (I was there and caught him as he fell), but it is now Saturday and he still is not feeling right. He says he feels like he has a concusion (he has gotten them in the past while playing football), but he did not hit his head. He feels dizzy, somewhat disoriented, and has a constant headache. Also, when he did pass out, he wet himself, which led us to believe it was a seizure. But we spoke to nurse that we know and she ruled out the seizure based on checking his eyes, as well as the fact that when he passed out, he fell limp, rather than shaking or becoming stiff. Also, he knew who everybody was when he came back to, he was not confused. He thought he was sleeping. He was out for about 1.5 minutes. Afterwards, his hands tingled. Thoughts?
Answer:
sounds like a seizure to me.glad he'll be seeing a doctor. seizures can present in different ways...not just the classic "shaking" people think of. he probably should be seeing a neurologist...good luck.
It sounds like he lost oxygen
The nurse said not a seizure by checking his eyes? wtf ? You can only tell for sure if he has seizures if an eeg is negative!

make sure you write down where and when and what happened during this episode to help the doctor and order tests such as ecg, eeg, blood pressure sitting and standing..

hope all goes well best of luck ..

Can a doctor inform the cops about trace of weed in blood ?

I am supposed to go to a blood and urine test tomorrow, something that my doctor wanted me to go for since I have been having some problems with my health. I smoked some weed this past weekend, I have never done any other drug, I am worried that the blood test might detect that - my question is can the doctor share this information with the cops ? I would think that the medical records are confidential but still I am worried since I dont want to end up in trouble.

Thanks
Answer:
medical records are confidential. normally a doctor is not checking for drug use. if he is, there is a reason, and he will talk to you about it after the result.
u can do it...
medical records are confidential =a Dr can report you though so you won't get addicted
STOP SMOKING WEED! - if you smoke it, you deserve to get caught!
No. It doesn't matter if you have crystal meth, crack, and pot in your system. There are laws that prevent medical personnel from sharing your health information with individuals who don't need to know about it, such as the police. A doctor can only call the police on you if you are a danger to yourself (suicidal) or a danger to thers (homicidal).
Honey, you have to have a special test for thc which is in the marajuana...even if he did see it...he most likely would not report it since in several states it is nothing but a misdimenor...so your pretty safe...now if he saw hard drugs it would be a different story, but most blood tests wont detect thc unless they are looking for it specifically...hope it helps
um i know people that smoked it and they told the doc. and there doc said its ok. th actually said it was good 4 them . good luck buddy
First off they cant. Like you said it is Confidential and privacy.

Now to get it out of your system before tomorrow.

Get a gallon of water and plain tea bags. about 30 of them.
no sugar and broil the tea bags and when done put them all in the gallon of water and drink the whole gallon before tomorrow. it will clean out your system and the weed.

My son did it once when he had a job interview and drug test done.

Also you can drink a big bottle of vinegar and water a gallon of water with it.

Good luck and stay away from the wed. every time you smoke it it kills your brain cells off.

Yes, they most certainly can. This happened to my close friend after she was taken to the hospital for blacking out and it was marked on her record. Medical records are confidential, but exceptions can be made in the case of drugs, but as far as I know only if the doctors have prior knowledge and are giving emergency care. But marijuana will not be in your line of tests, so no worries.
In Canada no one cares. MOVE!
no its illigal 4 doc 2 do that
no,the dr cant tell the cops about the trace of weed in your urine,but he should tell them what a moron you are for smoking it since you knew you were having health problems to begin with,maybe in the future you should abstain from partying if you arent healthy,or maybe too much partying caused your health issues.maybe the dr will slip when hes leavingthe room and accidently slap you across the side of your dumb head.and btw,the vinegar treatment doesnt work,and all it will do is screw up your urine sample and youll just have to get retested anyway.
No. The Hippocratic Oath prevents this. If the doctor tells the police without your permission, he can lose his license to practice medicine.
doctor/patient confidentiality ...so teh doctor isnt allowed to tell the police
I never heard of a doctor automatically sharing that type of information with the police.

If you were already charged with something and the records were court ordered, that would be a different matter.

If you aren't charged with any crime, and you aren't on parole or something, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Can a docter detect a pain killer overdose from a simple blood test?

i have recently overdosed on over the counter ibuprofen, prescription ibuprofen, and something called naproxen sodium? and now i have to go to the docter (not for the overdose) but they will be taking my blood, and i dont know if they can see what i've done just from that test.
Answer:
I don't know what blood tests will be ordered but most likely a CBC will be one of them. Your doctor will not know to test for blood levels of any drug unless you tell her/him. Be aware that ibuprofen can cause abnormalities in the blood and these may show up. This could put your doctor on the wong track. Don't waste the doctor's time - be honest and forthcoming. Tell your doctor what you did.
YES! they can
A doctor can do any number of things, conceiveably. Now, try to get him or her to do it. Or get a straight answer.
they will only test for what they are looking for ,,,say you had a water infection then your tablets will not show up unless they test for that
They will know that you took them.
Ibuprofen and naproxen are basically aspirin
How long has it been since the last dose
also will they be looking for this drug in your blood, they usually dont look for this in a normal lab test
they will find whatever they test for. there is no test that just shows everything you have taken.

Can a busted eardrum be healed?


Answer:
Yes, it does heal itself after a bit. Just be careful to not get water in your ear during a shower. Put a bit of cotton in the canal to prevent fluid behind the ear drum, which can cause an ear infection if it heals while the water is still in there.

Came up in conversation today, when cold mens parts get smaller yet womens nipples get bigger! weird species?


Answer:
Actually, the nipples don't really get bigger, but the fatty tissue in the breast contracts when cold and that reduces the size of the breast temporarily. Therefore, the nipple is just more prominent because it does not shrink.
No it's awesome! I'll get the bags of ice, let's go to the strip club!

Calming Down After A Caffeine Fix?

I don't drink caffeine at all, but lastnight a friend got me drunk on Vodka and Redbull and I can not relax, I couldn't sleep, i've been pacing about all night and even yet its hard to even sit still to type this. I suppose it has effected me this way as I usually don't touch caffeine
Answer:
sniff some vicks. I know this works when people are coming down from ecstasy.
what is your question?
yeah that's a bad mixture especially if u don't drink caffeine u have to let it work its way out
Drink lots of water, do not drink anymore caffeine until you have slept and recognize that you are in no condition to do anything but stare into space and twitch.

I drink coffee or energy drinks all day long, but every once in a while I will be affected by the caffeine and it is not a pleasant feeling. You may want to take a small walk.

I find a hot bath really helps.
I drink a lot of tea and coffee and don't feel any effects but redbull whoa baby, one can and I can't sleep for hours.

Before all you Y! people call me a brain dead druggie you should know that caffeine is one of the most deadly poisons known to man (per milligram).

THC on the other hand is (in moderation) a very safe and gentle way to help you sleep.

Unfortunately it's illegal because it's difficult for the government to tax so the best thing to do is just ride it out.

Calling all piercers...?

i got my navel pierced 5 months ago and i clean it with anti bacterial soap and i put h2ocean on it and it looks like this can u tell me what im doin wrong and how to change it.it looks nasty...i had a bump on the bottom of the hole and i poped it and puss and blood came out ...im soooo lost n dnt know wat to do
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa41/...

http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa41/...

http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa41/...
Answer:
Hmmm.looks infected.

The best way to clean new piercings is with boiled salt water, three times a day, and to turn the piercing in the hole.

You're supposed to do this every day for at least a month, and then you are only supposed to change the jewellery in them after two months to really allow it enough time to heal up.

As it's infected, you should go to your GP who will give you antibiotic cream to use after bathing it in the way described above.

The cream my friend was given just the other week to use on her piercing (which looks like yours) is called Fucidin.

Its clearing up already and is looking much less inflamed now.

While the wound is open, you shouldn't be using any soap on it at all as it can get trapped in there and cause the piercing to go septic-looks like this may have happened to you. I'd suggest going to the doctor now to get it looked over and get some antibiotic cream.
I know you don't want to take it out so try using some triple antibiotic twice a day after cleaning with some hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol. If it doesn't look any better in about three days you're going to have to take it out. You could set up a staph infection and it looking nasty will be the least of your worries. Just think, when it heals you can try again if you like.
Try changing to a different metal. You might be allergic to the metal. That happens to my ears when I don't wear gold or surgical steel - they get infected.

Calling all girls! What are twelve year checkups and physicalls like!!?

I have to get one for athleics next year, and i waswondering like wich shots do you get and stuff.
Answer:
Hey Don't worry about it. It's no big deal. I was nervous too. When I went for my physical I didn't need any shots at that time. So it all depends on when you had them last. But the only things they really check is your muscles and stuff to make sure that everything is going well. It'll be fine. Trust me!
tetnis, hpv (maybe if your mom asks) ouch. its fine though. doesnt hurt that much until afterwards the muscle hurts .
beware..hope u dont have a boy doctor!!have fun! lol

Calcium defiency?

I've been diagnosed with calcium and zinc defiency. Aside from calcium what supplements can i take to stenthgen the bones and teeth?
Answer:
Magnesium goes well with calcium and might help. Vitamin D helps with calcium absorption.
In terms of teeth, it might not strengthen but can maintain what you have by cutting down on drinking coffee and acidic drinks such as coke or pepsi. They break down your enamel and can decay your teeth.
just always drink a glass of milk in the morning and night. and eat calcium enriched food. also search on the web for your answer.
feroglobin do a good range of supplements inc ones that combine calcium and zinc , i used for my son when he was run down after infections . just enter a search for feroglobin , it willpop up ! best of luck for the future .
read:
http://mysteriousbolivia.blogspot.com/se...

coca leaf is very rich in calcium and minerals and easy to absorb, you can get it at amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/coca-tea-windsor-m...
read the reviews, it is a very healthy tea. you can make cookies and bread with the tea bags, there is the recipe also
http://mysteriousbolivia.blogspot.com/se...
exercise strengthens bones. see your doctor for more advice on this.
If calcium lack has been confirmed by your doctor it is usual to give both calcium and vitamin D. If it is simply due to dietary lack drinking more milk might be an option to provide both, otherwise their are plenty of supplements available.

Caffine, your views?

What do you think/know about caffine?

I know about the immediate effects. I just drank 2 cups of coffe and I feel very shaky and odd. I hate this part. alot. But, afterwards, I feel more awake.

How do you feel about it and what are the long term affects?
Answer:
Caffeine amphetamine in a mug!
I don't function very well in the mornings with out it! If I get shaky I eat something and it goes away instantly. The long term effects are you become dependent on it, it is a stimulant. to much of anything isn't good for you, but if you don't enjoy simple pleasures like a cup or two of coffee your truly missing out. Coffee has such a nostalgic effect for me aswell.
some people say it stunt your growth but my brother has drank it for 5 years and right now he is 6'2. So that is a myth.
I have heard it is actually healthy for you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/coffee...

Caffine and sleep deprivation?

I had about two or three hours of sleep last night. I drank about four or five liters of coke throughtout the day/night I felt groggy all day and drove a good distance with no real problems then I took a sip of vault when i began to feel REALLY sleepy i couldn really taste it and my vision became not blurry but i could see black the as I swallowed the drink it made my mouth then my whole body numb I pulled off the road and relaxed a bit I had been driving a good while, we were 30 miles from our desitiantion so I kept driving I couldnt focus at all I even speed up to 80 to try and get my adrenaline to kick in but it wouldnt. I got about 4 miles from where I was going and something in my ar started throbing not hurting but actaully moving harshly up and down without my provoking it. This really freaked me out so has anyone had anything like this happen or know what happened to me? And yea I know I should lay off the caffine XD.
Answer:
You shouldn't have driven at all in that state, wot if you had had an accident! The pain could be from the lack of sleep and every thing, also trying to concentrate on the road.

Also wots an ar? You sound like you are stillmanic and need to calm down buddy!

I'm suprised the other person in the car didn't tell you to stop.

This type of thing does make me sick, driving like this is the same as driving drunk!
Next time stick to beer
You probably just had too much caffeine! Believe it or not, this can happen. Caffeine cannot replace sleep and because you consumed so much so quickly, your body and brain almost start to shut down (I'm not a Dr. or anything though). If I drink too much caffeine, even if I got enough sleep the night before, I just have to go to bed. Caffeine isn't adrenaline, it just makes the body produce adrenaline while doing some other things that I won't go through here. The point though is that sooner or later, the well runs dry and caffeine just starts to have the opposite effect. If this continues or you are really concerned, go seek medical help. Good luck and be careful next time on the road.

Caffiene...what's the best way to wean yourself off from it?

I've been told by my gynocologist that caffiene is especially bad for me because I am experiencing intense hot flashes (I am in perimenopause) I am sick of the hot flashes. Does anyone know of a safe way I can kick caffiene? I really hate to do this, but if it will help me healthwise, I will do it.
Answer:
I steered clear of it after reading so many terrible things about it. once you know, you can't really turn back. read this:
http://www.newstarget.com/012352.html...
if its coffee that you enjoy, try a herbal alternative (teeccino..it tastes like coffee (the hazelnut one) teeccino.com
Just drink a little less each day so that your body can adjust to it.
The best way to overcome any addiction is cold turkey.
COLD TURKEY IS THE BEST WAY, BUT SINCE YOU'RE ADDICTED TO IT BE PREPARED TO FEEL REALLY LOUSY FOR A FEW DAYS.
DON'T EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING CONTAINING CAFFEINE...AND YES THIS MEANS CHOCOLATE TOO. ;-(
During my pregnancies I wean myself from the sugar %26 caffeine to benefit the baby (and myself since I get gestational diabetes). I normally drink about 5 cans of soda a day.

I started by switching 3 of those cans to diet. Once used to that I switched to diet caffeine free drinks. By 5 months I had switched all but 1 can.

Watch out when you switch or stop though. Remember that caffeine as a drug, and an addiction. You will go through withdrawals. I had extremely sever migraines at first.

I get them now sometimes, and its usually when I have gone 2-3 days without a soda.

Keep the IB Profin handy.

Caffeine supplement?

I received a bottle of Primaforce caffeine pills 200mg each, I was wondering if these are safe to take in place of coffee when i don't have enough time in the morning, and why exactly it says "suggested use - dietary supplement" thanks.
Answer:
Yes its safe in the place of coffee.

Caffeine question?

i know caffeine dehydrates us (or can) but i have never known why-anyone know how this happens? can explain just how it causes us to dehydrate? thank you
Answer:
Put simply, caffiene is a diuretic. This means it forces your body to excrete more water through your kidneys producing a more dilute urine. See the link for (what may be an overly complicated) explanation.
I believe it is the amount of sugar in the drink; not the caffiene.
I have never heard about this ..
People used to think that when u drink coffee and other caffeinated beverages, u would be dehydrating yourself. Yes, coffee is a diuretic... but the thing is, it is considered as a MILD diuretic. Meaning, it does cause you to pee a more dilute urine but you also retain some of the liquids that you had just consumed.
Recent evidence also shows that the more often you drink caffeinated drinks, the more your body gets immune to its diuretic effect... for more info, please check out the website I found.

Caffeine pills. Ingredients?

What is the difference between 100mg of Caffeine Alkaloid and
100mg of Caffeine anhydrous USP?
Is one better then the other? (There is a price difference.)
They both claim that each pill has the caffeine equivalent of one cup of coffee.
And what does “USP” mean?
Answer:
Caffeine IS an alkaloid. Anhydrous (An =retaining -hydros, meaning water) is an added salt as a previous respondent mentioned. USP is the United States Pharmacopeia is the worldwide source for drug standards.

You may want to visit this site: http://www.phoenixathletic.com/prolab/ca... Read through it all the way. It gives you an idea of what caffeine does to the body.
sugar. and high fructose corn syrup. and sugar. and flavoring. and sugar. and coloring. and sugar. Did I mention sugar?
USP stands for United States Pharmacopeia and that tells you the company prepared the product according to the standards of the United States Pharmacopeia. Most likely both have the same affect and same amount of caffeine particles but the salt on the molecule is different. That is what you see when there are prescription products say sulfate or HCl (hydrochloride), or potassium, etc. I would make a good estimate that they are going to do the same desired effect with the same results. The alkaloid is being used as a marketing tool to make it sound more potent or more pure so they can charge more. People will assume that the cost justifies the ends if it is more of a kick or fat burner (the better, quicker, easier way is desired) imo. I would just get the generic version because it will be just as affective and you will be awake as if you drank a cup of coffee instead of a sip of water and a tablet. Who's ceo are you less irritated about lining their pockets?
Why not drink the coffee then? I never liked the thought of taking caffeine pills, I can't see what they are good for. Some people say they are good for staying up at night to study for a test, if you don't know a class well enough to take a test I don't think you are going to learn enough to pass the test in one night. Some say to keep you awake, I think if you are so sleepy that you need pills to keep you awake, I think you need to sleep. Caffeine by the pill can't be good for you, I don't think anyone needs them...GOOD LUCK.

Caffeine pills sick?

I took a caffeine pill the other day for work, I know they give you loose stoole, but I got diherea and had an upset stomach for a little over a day. Anyone else experience this or have any comment? Thanks
Answer:
sounds pretty common to me, you got of easy actually. Do we know not to take that crap now? hmmmmmmm?
never take those stupid pills on an empty stomach
There have been periods of time that I've taken caffeine pills regularly and never had any problems. If you get sick taking them, maybe you should try something else.
I got really nauseated when I took a Vivarin on an emtpy stomach..it was torture, you have to eat something or drink milk before to coat the stomach. Those things are pretty strong. Sounds like your symptoms were definitely worse case.

C0ck blockin?

Remember this isn't my definition.

But how can you lose your voice?

i know everyone tries to keep from losing their voice but i want to lose my voice, how do you do that? any ideas? please help!
Answer:
You have to strain your vocal cords. Good luck with that.
Get a bad case of laryngitis. I would certainly recommend laryngitis over epiglottitis.
If you talk, sing, or use your vocal chords in any way of excess, they will become strained to the point where they don't work normal, and your voice becomes "hoarse." So sing, shout, scream, yell, talk, chat, and have fun, and you should have a hoarse voice within a peroid of 24 hours of loudness. Good luck!
Trick it in to playing hide and go seek in an unfamiliar area and run away really fast
Over-exertion. Even well-meaning singers can damage their voice if they aren't careful. There's a right way and a wrong way to belt out a tone...

Burping?

This is a weird (and at the same time a SERIOUS) question.
I have been burping a ton lately. It is really weird. I'm burping all the time. I usually never burp unless I drink soda. What is going on? I'm not looking for stupid answers, I just want to know what is going on haha
Answer:
Most people with excessive burping and bloating are air swallowers. Air enters the gastrointestinal tract when mouth breathing or talking/drinking while eating. A second frequent cause of gas is a change in diet such that gas forming foods are now eaten in greater amounts e.g. cabbage, beans, milk for many people. You should take anti gas medications e.g. simethicone, charcoal etc. These over-the-counter preparations will control your symptoms. If the burping continues you should consult your
its probably from the carbonation in the drink
Burping is your body's way of getting rid of excess air in your lungs. Could just be that you have a lot of carbon dioxide in there. Are you swallowing air? I know that sounds weird but that's what can happen too.
get some fiber in your body. your probably backed up in your intestines. this can cause you to burp or pass gas a lot.
Could be that your esophagus extends a little bit into your stomach. It's no big deal.
If you eat too fast, you swallow more air and therefore burp a lot later on
Try eating slower and don't rush

Burping vomit?

This is going to sound gross, but sometimes when I burp, some liquidy stuff comes up to the back of my throat and I get this puke taste in my mouth for a second. I don't fully vomit, I just feel it in the back of my throat and I taste it, but it doesn't come out of my mouth or anything. Is this just a normal part of burping, or should I be concerned?
Answer:
What you are describing is called gastroesophageal reflux. There is medication available by perscription and also you can help yourself by elevating the head of your bed by 6 inches. This should be treated because if it continues you will inflame your esophagus as well.
Probably acid reflux.
Looks like you have acid reflux disease. Go see a doctor. Acid reflux is when stomach acid goes to your mouth and if left unchecked will damage the escoughgas (i hope i spelled that right.) .
OK, Unfortunately.I have to source of information. The same thing happens to me. It happens to a few of my friends. But it happens to me pretty often.

I'm sorry I couldn't help.
I'll keep looking for info and write you back.

Burning and Itchy Palms and Soles of Feet w/No Rash related to Gallbladder?

I've been suffering for the last few months with the worst burning and itchy sensation on the palms of my hands and soles of my feet. There are no outwards symptoms of a rash and my skin is not dry. I don't know what the problem is, but I heard it may be liver related. I've recently had my gallbladder removed, so that wouldn't strike me as odd because the symptoms started after it was removed. Anyone have any experience with these symptoms after gallbladder removal? I'm going to see my doctor right away, but I'm curious, so I'm asking.
Answer:
this probably isn't going to be much help but myy grandfather used to say that the feet and gallbladder are related in some way...he said that after he got his gallbladder removed that his problem with stinky feet changed

Burn marks?

i recently droped some hot, under boiling water all over my hand and i washed it off with cold water but not before accidently using the hot water thinking it was cold. so now i have some brown splotchy marks on three of my fingers and it looks like bruising but did not appear untill about two days after. it doesn't hurt but its just like damn i have cow marks. this happened about two weeks ago does any one know if this is perminant? or just extreme bruising.
Answer:
If it isn't painful, I shouldn't worry /too/ much, %26 hopefully it'll fade if you give it time.
If it's still there after a month or so, see your doctor.
To get rid of the marks, you can get an Aloe plant, cut one on the leaves off and squeeze the juice from the leaf onto your and a couple times a day. It helps heal the burn mark better than anything I've ever seen. You can try buying aloe cream from the store but I would buy the plant instead. It's 100% aloe vs. the store bought lotions which don't contain much aloe at all. Trust me it works!
Probably extreme bruising, but I'd check a doctor about it or someone else just to make sure cause you can never be too careful!
I burn myself at work all the time. (Not on purpose of course.)
Most the time a mark will last for a few days, sometimes a month or more. It should go away but I do have some permanent scars.
To get rid of /or/ reduce the appearance of scars use Maderma scar cream. It works great.

Bump over belly button and a little pain when I cough or bend down?

Hi all,
Im going to the doctors tomorrow morning, was just wondering if any of you experienced this or know what it may be,
I developped a bump over my belly button, its an INWARD bumb, so I feel it inside my body, it never hurt at all till about a week ago.

I developped this bump around my 6th month of PREGNANCY, my ob/gyn told me it may be a torn muscle but will go away after labor.
Well I still have it, (that ob gyn is an idiot by the way with poor practice) and from about a week ago, it hurts a little when I cough or bend down.

My baby is 4 months old! SO I have it for about 7 months now.

If it is hernia, doesnt hernia hurt ALOT? Or is it maybe a pulled muscle? But can you have a pulled muscle this long? doesnt it cure faster?

Thanks for all your responses!
Answer:
Hernia - find a new doctor and tell him/her to check for a hernia. Insist - doctors work for you, not the other way around. You can be pleasant and still be insistent - if the second doctor won't do it, go to a third.
sounds like a hernia
Go to webmd.com and try their symptom checker to see what it comes up with.
hernia, hands down

Bump on lip?

Ive been dipping off and on for about six months. About two days ago i noticed a little white bump where i place the dip, about the size of a sharpened pencil tip. Its a little bit hard, and not very painful. Ive been told that dippers get calluses after dipping for a few months, but im nit sure that this falls into the category. What do you think it is?
Answer:
You got to stop that. You can get mouth cancer. Do some research on the internet to see pictures of mouth cancer caused from chewing. My husband stopped and those white bumps went away. Stop it before it turns into cancer.
either a zit or a cold sore.

BULIMIA-How do you stop?

For maybe over a month now, I think I may have been suffering from bulimia. During almost every meal, I lose control of myself and tend to overeat. A lot. Then I go to the bathroom and throw maybe 3/4 of it up. I've been doing a lot of research lately and I've seen that bulimia can be very fatal and can ruin your body. I really want to stop and I've been trying hard to, but for some reason I cannot seem to stop. A problem I have, though, is that I am currently in a foreign country and will not go home until the 12th of August. Is there any way I can help myself stop so I won't keep this up until I can go home and get help?
Answer:
Look at a full portion of what you think you should eat. Eat only that amount, and do it slowly. Don't eat fast, or you'll end up eating more. It's kind of like the big straws at many fast food places. They get you a big straw, so you'll drink faster and order more. Eat slow, and see how you feel. See how fast you feel full. You should be eating several small meals a day as opposed to just 1 or 2 big ones. Not over-eating will help you not-puke. Eat slow, hang out with whoever you can, so they can be around you. If you have someone you can be completely honest around, use that person to gage how you're doing. Don't purposely throw up. Stomach acids can also ruin your teeth. And make yourself a promise as well. Before heading back, if you talk to your family, make sure you tell them about this. This will help them understand the level you're at, and it will become more likely that you get the help you need. Finally.. promise yourself that you're going to get the help you need. People die from this. Young teenage girls develop habits like this, they never tell anyone, and then they destroy their bodies. Just like the matrix, without the body, the mind cannot survive. Take care of yourself!!!
Just make yourself eat slowly and stop eating when u feel full and rest for a liitle while after it .
Two thoughts come to mind.STOP AND SELF CONTROL. You are in control and you are headed down a bad road. When you get back home get some professional help...you are worth it.
If youre really stressed that might be why you are overeating. Drink a sip of water inbetween EVERY bite...and don't chew really fast. If you're overeating on foods that are mostly salty, try a different diet...eat a lot of fiber/bread/vegetables. Most likely, you wont want to keep eating it.
Think about your meal before you start eating. Only make or order enough to satisfy a normal appetite. After you've eaten that much, stop eating and do something else. If you can, take your food to a public place outdoors so that you'll be around other people and you won't have ready access to a bathroom.
Do get help when you return. Bulimia is an awful disease.
Bulimia is very serious and dangerous eating disorder that is usually accompanied by Body Dysmorphic Syndrome, where the body that you see isn't the body you have. The way you are describing your eating habits sounds like the binge purge cycle. The main question is do you believe that you have a weight problem? I work in health care and I tell my patients that if something is bothering you, then it worth telling someone else. If you worried about recieving healthcare over seas, contact your insurance company and ask them what there policy about overseas illness. Please don't wait until August to get help, the longer it goes on the harder it will be to stop.

Wish the best of luck
Excerpt from the National Eating disorder Association

"Bulimia Nervosa has three primary symptoms:
Regular intake of large amounts of food accompanied by a sense of loss of control over eating behavior.
Regular use of inappropriate compensatory behaviors such as self-induced vomiting, laxative or diuretic abuse, fasting, and/or obsessive or compulsive exercise.
Extreme concern with body weight and shape.
Eating disorder specialists believe that the chance for recovery increases the earlier bulimia nervosa is detected. Therefore, it is important to be aware of some of the warning signs of bulimia nervosa."
I too am suffering from the same problem and I am trying to get well. It's not easy, I have been doing this for years, you really don't want to go thru what I've been thru mostly depression along with a lot of medical problems, anemia, low blood pressure, low potassium, low iron, acid reflux, stomach aches, etc... I have been in the hospital several times because of what i have done to myself.
I finally got some professional help and it is helping but it is not something you recover from overnight. If you have only been doing it for a month STOP NOW, BEFORE IT'S TO LATE! Find yourself a good doctor not just a shrink but a regular doctor also and have a check up, try not to put too much food on your plate and only eat that or eat 6 small meals per day, try to remain around other people after you eat and don't go running to the bathroom. I could go on forever but the bottom line is you have to want to stop doing this to yourself and find out what the problem is. if you want email me and I will be happy to answer any questions you have. Good Luck.
stopping isn't easy, as it will eventually take over your life.
bulimia isn't worth it in the end. you're in the beginning stages of it though, stop now if at all possible.

try to eat small portions throughout the day...

best of luck to you %26lt;3

Bulging disc lower back, any type of diet i should stick with?

if disc is degnerating, is there certain type of mineral or vitamins i should take to keep my discs good in shape?
Answer:
Any reasonable balanced diet should do well.
When I got a couple herniated discs, I consulted a neurosurgeon who recommended glucosamine and chondroitin.
BTW, I never got any disc surgery. I take the supplements and follow a low impact physical therapy regimen with good results.

Answer:
Try this site: http://www.biteremedy.com/

A spider could have bitten you and injected its eggs under your skin.


It happend to another person I knew, not severe.

Brushed my tongue too hard, gagged, and blood?

This morning I was brushing my teeth, and started brushing my tongue, made my gag reflex go off once and nothing happened. I did it again and set off the gag reflex again, harder and some blood came out, but not a big thick amount, just a little. I spit it out and that was that. I obviously didn't mean to do that twice, just happened and brushed tongue too hard. I have not coughed up blood, felt sick, or anything like that.is this normal if I just coughed too hard while I set off my gag reflex?
Answer:
it because you dont do it often enough
to have a really clean mouth you need to brush all the way to the back of your tongue you'll get used to it later
if you have bumps on the back of your tongue it probably because you dont brush back there and is probably the reason your bleeding
was the blood covered in mucus? if so the blood probably came from your nose. i wouldn't worry too much about it

Bruises!?!?!?!?

I started getting a lot of random bruises lately, and I don't know why. I didn't get hurt or anything in those spots, they just appeared. Does anyone know of anything that might cause this?? Thanks :D
Answer:
You could have some type of bleeding disorder. You need to see your doctor for a check-up.
not enough protein in ur diet
Bruises in general, have three sources:
Drugs taken by mouth such as aspirin, magaldrate (Plavix), blood thinners such as warfarin, (Coumadin) bezafibrate, and drugs to lower your cholesterol (Statins like lovastatin, sodium pravastatin etc)...excess Ibuprofen can do have such an effects...

Allergic reactions to drugs that may interfere with platelet function, such as antibiotics (ciprofloxacillin, mefloxacillin, cephalexin, erythromycin), and or some a new drug that has been prescribed to you,,,(in short, an allergy that affects your platelet levels)

Hematological diseases. such as lymphoma, leukemia and purpura purport...(low levels of platelet count)

Before anything is recomended. to you, a full blood cell count and platelet levels is needed, together with clotting tests (Thrombine and protrhrombine coagulation, times).
I do not want to make you worry but a friend of mine went to the doctor after bruising randomly and was diagnosed with leukemia. Don't mess around and have it checked just in case. Even if it is something minor, at least you will know !
Good luck to you

Bruise on lower leg?

i was cutting a log that wieght around 800 puonds i would guess.it rolled and hit me on my leg a few inches above my ankle.the bruise is white with red spots and purple on the outside.and it burns... and hurts when touched.ive had it for a few days.now im not sure if its from the log are if something bit me?i live in the ozarks in missouri. and i was wondering if i should see a doctor our well it just go away?
Answer:
If the spot is where the log hit you - it's a bruise. An 800# tree could give you a nasty injury, I don't doubt that it hurts when you touch it.
Bug bites tend to start out small, and you can usually see the mark of the bite in the center. And they just cause a red rash, not the purple you're describing.

Brown tounge?

My mom just notified me that her tounge is brown i asked her questions she said shes fine and hasnt ate anything with color.but she did say shes has 3 glasses ice tea could that be it? i just worrie about my mom she older and disabled.Her whole tounge isnt completely brown just the top is.
Answer:
try to brush your tongue
peptobismol (i think thats what its called that pink stuff) anyway it has been known to turn peoples tungs brown or black
No comment on this one. Too easy to make fun of.
She drank alot of tea, Tea is a diuretic, and dehydration cause a coating on your tongue and yes, it's probably the tea, She need to drink water. Where I live its 94 degrees outside, I suspect it probably hot where you are and that's why she may have been drinking tea. But , she needs WATER, or next she'll be dizzy and feeling like shes going to pass out .

Broke 3 Metatarsal bones?

How long does it ussualy take to heal 3 Metatarsal bones that are broken? Middle three if that matters.
Answer:
Umm probably a couple of months my friend broke one and it took 3 months

if you get board the is website for people with broken legs that share their stories called mybrokenleg.com
OUCH it takes any bones 6 to 8 weeks to heal
well your going to have to see a doctor cuz its pretty hard to not move your metatarsals without it hurting and making it worse. you have to put it in a cast or else if you move it, it wont heal and it'll make it worse.

Broke 3 Metatarsal bones is there anything I can do to speed up the 12 week healing time? Anything?


Answer:
nothing you can do or take orally.
just keep it elevated, and remain non weighbearing
i'm no doctor, but i have the feeling that if you try to use them as little as possible, you might heal faster.

Breathing.?

Ok. I have Atshma and I find it hard to breathe through my nose so I always have to breathe through my mouth. Yet its extremely annoying cos' when im talking I always have to stop and breathe then carry on.

Anyone got some ideas on ways to practice breathing through my nose?
Answer:
Get A Steam Machine The Clears Your Nostril Passages .. I Have Asthma Too And I Have Had It Since I Was 11 I am 23 Now. You Should Also Go TO A Asthma Specialist They Can Help You With That Even More
buy some of those nose stripes that go on your nose and open up your nostrils they work miracles
I would suggest perhaps trying yoga and playing the harmonica (not at the same time)
Asthma affects the lungs not the nose - that's not asthma!
i wish i could help you, i can definitely see how that would get annoying. i would try talking to a doctor... probably some kind of specialist. good luck.
Yes, you need to learn how to breathe correctly and more efficiently for your asthma. First, try exhaling through pursed lips, then inhaling through your nostrils. This takes conscious practice. Second. try yoga classes. It is the best way to use conscious breathing. It will help you tremendously. Next, go to the bookstore. There are Cd's and kits that teach breathing techniques, and can be very helpful
i feel you may need an exam to ascertain if you have any
physical blockages in your nasal passages, such as a
deviated septum, the cartilage that separates the sides of your nose.
if not, see a doctor to see if other problems exist.
usually, drugs such as albuterol, atrovent, etc. only open the
airway in your throat, not your nose.
you need to find out what is causing the problem.
joe
Breath rite strips may help. You put them across the bridge of your nose and they keep your nose passages open to breath better. If you burn candles in your home , you should stop. Candles put off suet. Making it hard to breathe. Good luck.

Breathing....?

Answer:
One time I went to a amusment park, and on it I couldn't breathe because it was going sort of fast. After I sat down for 25 min, I felt a bit better. Do you still have trouble? You probably should see a doctor on this.
Hope this helps!
yeah go to the doctor. they can actually examine you there, unlike us. we can't really tell you anything helpful about this.
definetly. b4 it gets more serious.
If you've never had trouble breathing before, then definitely go see a Dr.

Breathing trouble when i run or lift weights?

OK so when i had to go to ss we had to run ALOT and my question is why does it feel like im suffoicating? sometimes i forget to breath and its hard forcing myself to. Lifting weights i forgot to breath again but luckily someone reminded me. why is it so hard when i do stuff like that. i got better at running but i still had to force myself to breath every so often.
Answer:
Start breathing exercises. Breath in for 5 counts, hold and breath out in 7 counts. hold. repeat for 5 minutes.

Inhale through left nostril by closing the right, hold and then exhale through the right. Then inhale through the right nostril and exhale through the left. Do this 5 minutes.

Exhale full air out. Then inhale maximum air. repeat.

This exercises will improve all your body functions and help you to have good sleep and a healthy life.
Yu probably have asthma so yu should go to yur doctors and describe yur symptoms and tey will tell yu for certain x
hmmm sounds like you might need to relax a bit. Also try and do some breathing exercisers breathing in through your nice and out through your mouth. Seeing as this is your main problem try and focus heavily on your breathing throughout your exercise. As you get fitter it might become easier to.

Breathing Problem?

I have a hard time breathing on %26 off %26 I don't know why.
I went to the differen't 3 doctor's 3 differen't times
%26 they don't know what to think because they took xrays of my
chest %26 they all came out normal %26 they took a blood test
1st I had a bacterial infection but the last time that I was
at the doctor a few days ago they said that my blood test was
normal so I don't know what to think.
Whenever I have a hard time breathing I get tired to
%26 I have yellow stools(poop).
What ALL does everyone think is wrong with me?
What ALL should I do?
Has anyone had a problem like this?
If so what did u have wrong?
I can't go to the ER because noone will take me %26
I don't drive.
This one doctor said that it was panic attacks or anxiety attacks
or has something to do with my anxiety but I dont think
so because I'm not fearing anything or stressing out about anything or worrying about anything.
And it can't be astma because they did xrays %26 listened to my chest.
Answer:
exrays and listening to your chest can not show signs of asma. They should have had you blow into a tube 3 times. My daughter and I both suffer. they should have atleast tried you on an inhaler. Call your regular doctor back and tell them you want to try an inhaler. you do not have to buy one they have samples and can give you one. I work for a dr. I know all the tricks. Make sure they show you how to use it properly. They may also have to write you a perscription for a tube that connects to the inhaler. my daughter has to use that. it makes a big diffrence. Those they don't have. my guess allergy induced asma!!

Brain freeze, but only along your entire spine, and no pain in your head?

Hello, I have a question please...

I know people have brain freeze in their head, but my entire life when I eat anything to cold, it makes my entire spine hurt really bad. If someone rubs my spine for me up and down, it helps the pain.

I was wondering, I looked this up online and everything, but I never found anything about a brain freeze version there.. I was just wondering if I had a spine problem, and this was some sign of it
Answer:
Do you also suffer from migraines?

try taking some iron and phosphorous supplements.

If that doesn't help after 2 weeks, see a doctor and have them refer you to a neurologist.

Brain Cells?

I was doing some research and I came across some infomation that, when you are still growing, you grow more brain cells, and when you get to the stage of you stop growing, your brain cells stop growing..

Is this true?
Answer:
There are two major types of brain cells, neural cells and glial cells. Glial cells can proliferate after birth but most of neural cells can not. But neural cells extend projections and make connections each other after birth. In the childhood, neural cells make much more connections than needed, and then eliminate unnecessary ones, which underlies child's high learning capability. But even in adults, neural cells have an ability to make new connections for learning novel things.

So most of neural cells in the brain don't proliferate but have a life-time ability to establish new networks for learning.
There is a great podcast on the twit network http://www.twit.tv/FIB where you will find a brain specialist on episode http://www.twit.tv/fib10

You can really appreciate what we know about the brain after listening to her.basically a child brain is more flexible than an adulst brain.this is important for adaption.have a listen its very informative.

Braces problem very painful HELP!?

i got my braces on 3 days ago %26 i have a problem. the inside of my cheek keeps hooking onto the hooks on my braces %26 it rips my skin %26 I have a huge scar on the inside. its very painful. should i see my orthodontist or is this normal? how should i deal with it ?


thanks so much. god bless
Answer:
it happens to everyone. you'll calllus up soon. either suck it up or put some wax on it.
Generally when you get braces they give you wax just for that problem. I'd ask your dentist for wax. Your other option may be to use cotton.
Get some braces wax and put it on the parts that are catching. It helps while your mouth toughens up. If it is really bad, then call your orthodontist tomorrow and they will fix it for you.
go to the orthodontist and ask for the wax stuff to put on the wire so it won't hurt your cheek anymore.
Ask your orthodontist for wax.
The dentist should've given you wax... You put it over any sharp spots on your braces and when you cheek passes over it, it won't catch... If you use the wax and still have discomfort I would see the dentist again and have him adjust your hooks... Good luck
hey girl.
i've had this same problem.
if the wire is sticking out from the last bracket on your farthest tooth back..then they should be able to trim the wire shorter so it won't get caught on your cheeck.

however. if you mean the little hook things used for rubberbands on your brackets..then unforuntally there is nothing you can do to ease the pain on your cheeck. you COULD put wax on the hook..but your body would never get used to it and you would need to keep wax on it 24/7.

but, after about a week or so of not using any wax..your mouth will form a callase (sp?) and it wont hurt. :]

sorry..braces are VERY painful. hope you feel better!! =)
No you should definatley go see a doctor. I have had my braces 2years and that has never happened to me!!
i had that too, pot some wax (white stringy things) on the gum and ill feel better
it's normal, espically for the beginning. make sure there are no long wires. they have wax to put over your braces to prevent this. eventually when you have eaten and gotten use to your braces, it doesn't hurt anymore
it is normal to have that happen when i had braces it did the same thing and even after i had the wires changed each visit it did it, try gargling and rinsing your mouth out with warm salt water ( just warm water and several teaspoonfuls of salt) it always made my mouth feel better and helps heal the sore, be sure to mix it well and don't drink it rinse and then spit it out! idon't use the water at the very bottom of the glassif you have too much salt and not enough water it burns like fire. This works for me it may work for you too just a suggestion, Hope it feels better soon! Wax helps too, but if that doesn't work i would defiently go back to the orthordontist

Boyysss.. curious about something.. help me out?

i always hear guys saying that they have "shrinkage" when there cold or go swimming in cold water... on average how much does your sh*t shrink and for how long??
Answer:
About half, and untill I get warm
Wow, I don't really think you should care about that...no offense...
Thay are talking about there pens in cold water it tends to with draw or shrink when it worms up it back to its self
are you a snake?

just wondering why you said 'boyysss'...
i could understand why a snake would be concerned about male shrinkage in the pool.
Blood leaves the penis to warm the essential organs to prevent hypothermia. Same goes for the upper layer of skin as well. The "get used to it" feeling one gets when jumping into a cold water situation is just that. Shouldn't happen in a hot tub. How much varies per individual, how long is until we warm up. You're a bit on the freaky side, aren't you?
The penis gets small when it's cold because your body automatically withdraws the blood supply from your extremities to keep the body's core warm.

Boys, does a girl's height count so much??

I'm a 20 year old girl, about 4.76 feet tall. A question for u boys... does height really count so much? I mean I got a pretty nice face and my body composition is well proportioned. It's not that i got problems with people, i mean i've got personality but generally speaking, guys see me much as a simple friend... like I couldn't be anything more. Is this because of my ''small figure''...wich maybe makes me less physically attracting than other girls?
Answer:
A girl's height matters only to boys who think more about themselves than they think about the girl they are with.

And, by the way, you are NOT a girl--you are a woman!
Height should be an issue if your a great person.
Height should not matter at all.
It doesn't matter to me.
i think girls that are shorter than me are more attractive, than taller ones..its really hot.
not at all. height dosent matter personality matters. to me
On the contrary tall girls are a bigger problem. 4"7' isn't that small - girls are smaller naturally and boys have never had a problem with it in the past.

Too tall can be a problem, reasonably short ain't.

cheers
Gray
Nope. I'm short too though, so...
It shouldnt matter. If you have a good personalaty, physical qualities shouldnt get in your way. and plus, i would prefer a shorter girl over a taller girl
Height could be an issue. I doubt I would give you a second look because I am 6.583 feet tall. But, my height is no more normal than your height.

I wouldn't worry too much about the height thing. I think that you just haven't met the right guy yet. Be yourself, and don't worry so much about the things that you cannot change.
No, girl height doesn't matter. I'm a man 5'8" and I had a girl friend 6'0". I couldn't have been prouder. She was and I am sure she still is beautiful. Don't worry about what other walkin' talkin' monkey's think! Love each other like nothing else matters, because nothing else does. Love Y'all Forever, Sir Thomas Of Pike. I may be stupid but I know what love is!
Small/ Short chics are Usually pretty hot :P I think as long as the girl is proportioned properly to their size they can be hot, height doesn't matter.

I once saw a girl who was like 6foot 7, but she was proportioned to her height ( it looked like someone took a reverse shrink ray and shot her with it.) she was damn hot...

Bowel movements?

I heard people say they poop like 1 or 2 times a day, for as long as I have known I never went this much ,for me it's 1 time every other day or every 3 days.Most the time every 3 days..and my better half has went 4 days without going.Is this normal?
Answer:
Anything between 3 times a day and 3 times a week is supposed to be normal.
My significant other will go a whole week without having a bowel movement and it'll be hard to pass. I, on the other hand, poop everyday, sometimes more than once. It is all affected by the foods you eat, your metabolism, and how much water you're drinking. How is your diet? What do you mainly eat? Try eating more fiber and drinking more water, maybe it will help. Do you only go when you feel the urge? Or do you feel the urge and nothing comes?
Everyone is different. It's normal_ don't worry about it.
everyone has a differnent cycle. you guys are both fine as long as your "going" to the potty. :)
My doctor has said that you should have a bowel movement after every meal. He said that in a normal day you should have atleast 3 bowel movements in a day. Perhaps you and your better half should increase the amount of water and fiber in your diet.
HI,
First of all, do you eat fruit %26 vegetable? Drink plenty of water, %26 fibre, or supplements.Tried a Colon Cleansing, from Health store. Raisons, prunes %26 prune juice, keep you regular, or what is regular for you. But lotsa fresh veggies %26 fruit help, grain breads, unless you have diverticulosus, then no seeds.
Peace
I would say no, waste should not be stored in the body for that length of time. Once a day minimum.
Wow, that must sound like a brick after 3 days. Do you have to do any stretching excercises or anything right before you go?
If you were to live here, you'd be tired of hearing people
talk about, how many times they ''go poop'' because as
small as this place is, our health is about all we do have to '
talk about (that %26 the weather, %26 neither is that good).
Anyway, ''going poop'' more often than usual, can make a
person weak.
When I ''go poop'' once a day, it makes me weak, but I re-
quire a spoonful of Mineral Oil, because of fluid retention,
and I just weight 112 lbs. anyway.
I believe it all depends on your type of system, and how much
Solid, heavy foods you consume, as to how many bowel
movements you have, and how many you don't have.
I have to have a bowel movement, everyday, because THE
LONGER THE FOODS SET IN YOUR STOMACH AND
BOWELS, THE STOMACH LINING AND THE LINING OF
THE INTESTINES, CAN BECOME INFECTED WITH SOME BACTERIA, and cause you to have to take meds
for that.
I'm searching for a Cleanser for the Lining of the Bowels,
so the Lining won't have so much ''negative bacteria'' on
it.
(Don't quote me, but they say, that Elvis had 45 lbs. of POOP
in his intestines, when he died.Now, if you ask me, that's
a lot of.CRAP...IN ONE PERSON, much less the Bones %26
Flesh.
That much ''crap'' isn't healthy for anyone, much less for
such a well-known movie star.who had enough money to
buy lots of ''pooping pills''.
I try not to have a bowel movement, but every other day, be
cause I don't / can't digest much meat / solid meats, anyway,
and I'D HAVE A HARD TIME, GETTIN' IT OUT...after enjoying
PUTTIN' IT IN.
The Mineral Oil, helps oil the lining of the inside of the body,
and then I don't need a ''POOPER SCOOPER'' to get it
out.!
Besides, that's NASTY STUFF, to have to use a pooper
scooper...the smell kills ya, when it's more than a couple
of days OLD.wouldn't you say so?
(I was a nurse, and used to give enemas, and I didn't like
using a "pooper scooper'', on that end, of a Human Being...)
Nasty job.
But I felt sorry for that ole gentleman, for he needed to have
it done. (his son, watched me do it, and he said that it looked
easy to do, but he wasn't willing to do it, himself...and be-
sides, he too thought I was just...TOO FUNNY!

Bowel Movement?

I just wanted to know if its normal to not have bowel movements for a long period of time. When I say long I mean and average of between 4-7 days. I am asking now because I haven't had a movement since last Monday which makes it 9 days now. I mean the reason I don't have one for a few days at least is because I don't go unless I really really feel like I have to go. So I just wanted to know if I should try and go even when I don't really feel like it or if I should just wait for it.
Answer:
First thing, dont try and force it because you could cause damage and bleed from the anus. Your diet is very important to keeping healthy bowel movement. Eating plenty vegetables and fruit can insure that you have healthy bowels, whilst drinking plenty of water not only helps the bowels but helps flush the toxins from your system.

It is not uncommon to go without a movement for a period of days but my suggestion is this: seek advice from a medical practioner, a doctor will be able to rule out other problems that could be causing you this lack of bowel movement and put your mind at rest.

Laxatives are a temporary solution to your problem and I wouldnt rely on them totally to help you go to the bathroom, you do need to see your doctor to rule out any underlying cause and I hope that you get sorted out soon!
That is a long time.
I would try to go.
it is best to have one everyday that is waste sitting up in your body poisoning your system get rid of it. it can cause colon cancer
if you are eating regularly, you should be moving your bowel everyday
Nine days is a while. 4-7 days is also a while. The most common cause of constipation is dehydration. Try drinking lots of water. There are lots of over-the-counter products that can help get things moving. Everything from stool softeners to laxatives to suppositories to enemas. If you're having pain, you'll want to call your doctor.
There could be several reasons why you go so long without a bowel movement. You should start a laxative and see your Dr. if you do not produce a bowel movement. Magnesium Citrate is available at your local drug store for around a dollar.
I suspect the problem is your diet. Increase you fiber intake or try a product like metamucil.
We need to go to the bathroom and have a bowel movement every day.
It takes all those nasty toxins out of our body and helps us.
Without a bowel movement people can get sick, tiredness, and more seriously ill than immagined.

Boob job or not?

I had a baby 5 months ago and before i got pregnant a barely filled out an A cup now that i've had the baby, i am smaller than i was before (if you can believe that). my husband is not pressuring me, he tells me to do what i want. i know that some people think that it's vein but if some of you can imagine being 28, about 5'5 and a half 120lbs and having the chest of a boy. I don't want dd's or anything. just to finally look normal. is this stupid?
Answer:
I was in the exact same position after the birth of my first daughter. Only I was 5'4 and about 100 pounds. I looked like a 10 year old boy. I had mine done and I love it!! I have since had 2 more babies and they are still fabulous even through 2 rounds of breastfeeding. The only complaint I have is that I wish I had gone bigger. Good luck!
I don't think it's stupid to want to have boobs. If you would like them, then I think you should get them. It's nice that your husband isn't pressuring you and that means if you do get them then you are doing it for you. I wouldn't go too big since you've never had large breasts (a full C is nice), but that is up to you! Good luck and I hope you (and your husband) love your new look!!
Not it is not studpid at all. Just be careful research into a lot more and make sure that it is something you really want to do. By research I mean find a good Doctor who is respected in what he does. It is alos good your boyfriend is understanding and isn't pressuring you. Good Luck!
That's truly a personal decision. You should consider some medical things first. Do you have allergies? If so you may have an over active immune system and breast implants may cause problems for you eventually. After all it is a foreign substance inside your body.

Do what you feel is safe for your health.
it isn't stupid to want to look like a woman. you don't need to get a boob job though, you should just take some time and think about what your priorities are. if you just had a kid and you are already married, why do you need to have boobs anyway?if you realy want to have boobs though, and don't want to get a boob job, then just get an extra padded bra and some falsies
Honey, I am with you 100%!! I am 29, 5'9" and about 125lbs. I have no boobs, I wear padded "A" bra's and don't fill them. Like you I had kids and they got smaller yet, how do you get smaller than an "A" people say!! I would get a boob job in a heart beat if I could afford it. It is not vain to feel better about yourself. And like you I would be happy with a "B"!! I say if you can afford it go for it!!
It's not stupid. As long as your husband is not pressuring you into anything, you could do whatever you want. Personally, I wouldn't do it because you should be happy in your own skin and not need any surgeries! Especially since your husband doesn't care... Well it's up to you, you should research it and the risks that come along with it, and make a list of pros and cons before you follow through with it.

Bone Spurs?

I have a cluster of bone spurs on myhip joint and a small cluster on the base of my spine. i have inflamed it and my hip is giving my alot of problems... They put me on steroids and some muscle relaxers.. Doc said the pain %26 numbness in my hip is because the spurs have inflammed the nerves in my hip .. Question... isn't there a med that you can take that can possibly dissolve the spurs..if so does anyone know what it is called and has anyone had any sucess w/ it..
Answer:
Sorry to say there aren't any meds that will dissolve spurs of bone. And..if there were, they would be expected to dissolve other "good" bone too.

So, that leaves you with meds to decrease the inflammation from the irritation and pressure the spurs cause, like ibuprofen or injected steroids.

Lastly - surgery can be considered to remove the spurs.

Good luck!
Umm, no bone spurs do not dissolve, if it does not limit your motion your doc will only give you those steroids and stuff, otherwise it could require surgery...

Bone Marrow?

I'm thinking about donatine bone marrow (hope donate's the right term) and I was wondering if anyone has been through this procedure or could tell me sites about what happens.

Thanks
Answer:
I have been on the bone marrow donor list for 2 years now, never been called to donate. I put my name on the list when i was donating blood, they took an extra blood sample to see if i was suitable.
i hear its super painful. good on you for doing it though!
Google the Anthony Nolan trust and look at their website.
You dont donate any bone marrow unless you are a match for someone, all you have to do to register is a blood test.
you could contact the anthony nolan trust and put your name on the register
I watched a program about a bone marrow transplant and they take it from your breast bone on your chest. It will be achey for a while but it be for the better good!!
You are a good people :-)
I admire your good work

Bogies up my nose?

what are snarsberries?

Body Temperature!?

My body always seems hot during the evening. When I plug in my thermometer, it shows normal temperature or a mx of 98.9F. I think it's usually the fact that when I concentrate on something seriously, my body becomes hot. Do you think it's some medical condition that I should get checked up for? Does anybody else experience the same thing?
Answer:
Yes actually when I concentrate on certain things I do become hot, But I believe it's normal.
you should be fine.normal body temp without sickness or problems can very from 97s to 99s. i have a cna and i learned that in classes.
This is not a medical condition. This sounds very like a fairly common psychological condition called work shyness, in which the patient feels compelled to go to almost any extreme, including the invention of mysterious symtoms, to avoid work (usually, but not exclusively, school homework). It is not a fatal condition although it can have very painful consequences.
I do hope you find this helpful and your condition improved soon.

Body temperature and activity?

A question for all you science majors/professionals/those in the know. I play basketball quite a bit. The last few times I've played, it was outside on a court that absored heat. It was extremely hot and almost felt like we were cooking at times. Question is, I get extremely hot, sweating, and tired...but I nocticed for some reason, my stomach will get cold. Right after we're done (and I'm sure while we're playing as well), my stomach is cold.

It's an interesting phenomena where the rest of my entire body is hot as can be, but that one area, the skin of my midsection (abs) is ice-like. It doesn't hurt or anything, just feels like a different temperature. Any explanations or observations?
Answer:
When you are hot the blood is diverted so that more passes nearer the skin (that's why your skin becomes red when you are hot). The blood will lose more heat faster by passing near the skin which gets cooled by the evaporation of sweat. Areas such as the abdomen are areas which can support less blood flow over a short period. Because blood is diverted away from the area it will feel cooler than the areas where the blood is close to the surface.
thats a first-timer
during playing body worm and ur abdomen is sweating well because it is ur special case , not any reason is seen in whole case.
Your body is just trying to keep itself cool. Sweat and clothing may be causing your abdomen to feel cooler than the rest of your body. It's probably nothing to worry about. Make sure you're drinking plenty of water! :)

Body Problem?

I am thirteen years old five foot eleven inches and 153 lbs. I really feel fat. But only for one reason, because my chest isn't perfectly flat. I mean my chest area sticks out a little bit, but not like huge big man boobs. Just not perfectly flat. Is this normal?
Answer:
...yes and your weight might contain some muscle fat?
it is normal, you can do things to tone your body if you chose!

Body Odear?

for some reason in school when people sit near me they start like covering there nose and stuff. i mean they think that i stink. but i take a shower everyday have clean clothes and use deaoderant and cologne.
Answer:
Some people just naturally stink. (Not saying you do). Do you or your parents smoke? If so...that's why. But seeing as how that would be extremely obvious, I'm going to assume that you don't. When you put your clothes away, make sure they are completely dry, and not damp IN ANY WAY!

Seeing as how people sitting around you are making such a big production out of this, you need to consider the possibility of this being an elaborate (and extremely cruel) practical joke. Most people try to be respectful, even with "stinky" people. Unless your odor is absolutely unbearable, your classmates may just be pulling your leg.

Anyway, best of luck to you! And if it turns out this is a joke, well, those kids should be...well...shot.
bring deaodereny 2 school is ur real name billy?
hmmmm...bring deoderant to school or maybe your cologne smells bad!
Take some cologne to school with you. But dont drown yourself in it..you might kill someone. But, maybe you are not cleanin yourself enough. Take a hour shower and use old spice body wash
Try not using cologne or maybe using a softer smelling cologne. The Nautica Cologne is pretty good. I personally dont like the smell of cologne but this one is good. So maybe thats the problem. Also try taking some deodorent with ya just in case. Try taking some bathroom brakes to check and make sure you dont smell. Hope this helps.
Maybe it is the smell of your cologne. Or maybe you sweat a lot and need to bring extra deodorant to school.

Body Mass Index on children?

My younger brother (12, nearly 13) has a body mass index of 16.67, which is classified as underweight. My whole family are very against him being underweight-they are constantly trying to make him eat more and build up some muscles.
Does BMI work on younger children, so is this correct that he is underweight? (He's quite tall for his age, 5"2, well taller than most of his friends, and has quite a large bone structure, doesn't appear underweight or sickly)

And if he is underweight, he is not bulemic (sorry, i can't spell!) and eats much more than me, the same amount as my 16 year old brother in fact, and does sports about 3 times a week, if he is underweight, is there much i should do?

Thankyou.
Answer:
Body Mass Index calculators work accurately for all ages. If your parents feel that it is unhealthy for him to be underweight they should take your brother to a pediatrician. But first it would be good to find out if he takes any medications. Sometimes they can interfere with weight.

Body Functions?

Well, I was sitting in mass at the local Cathedral. The place was filled, it must have been a special occasion, Easter or something. While the priest was giving his sermon, right when the priest was at the most stirring part of his sermon, I yawned. Now, this wasn't any ordinary yawn, I made some monstrous noise that sounded like a donkey mixed with a burp. Plus, it STANK! It smelled rotten and also cheesy! People on the row looked at me and the whole place went quiet. People scooted over because of the smell!

What happened to me! What was it that I did?
Answer:
You inadvertently farted through your mouth..
I don't really know but clean your system out and quit eating for a couple of meals ! I hope someone will give you a more educated reason !

Body cleansing?

Anything besides taking pills?
Answer:
you could go on a three or four day water fast, in the woods. with nothing from society. then you could cleanse your spirit also.
talk to your doctor about that it reallly depanes on how your body works and everything like that or jsut call a doctor then go to the store and look around.
prune juice and grapes
and food that has fiber
eat right and drink lots of water..

I've also heard of people drinking lots of prune juice/tomato juice.... and some other concoction that has tabasco sauce in it.... but I can't remember where I saw it.

Best way though is to eat really healthy and drink lots of water and SWEAT it all out with exercise that gets your sweat really pouring. That's always worked for me
You can do a lot of things to cleans your body. I know a person who eats only letuce (iceburg) and celery. Then she will only drink water. She does this for a week.
YESSSS, definetly prune juice it taste awful so drink it fast or try the vegetable pills or prune pill, The juice works best. make sure b4 u drink it . that you dont have 2 b any where for the rest of the day. healthy hunting.

Blue pill , round , that says z , 3927 on one side , and 10 , on the other?


Answer:
That pill is diazepam, used to relieve symptoms of anxiety or tension.

For more information, go to this link:

http://www.ivaxpharmaceuticals.com/pdfs/...

Auggie
call poison control, they know. or look one up online if possible. the 10 means 10 mg
Diazepam - Z 3927 10, it's a generic of valium.
its a generic Valium
The best way to get this answer is to call a pharmacist. They may know right away what it is. (my guess is that it is Zoloft, but I am not sure)
I believe that is a valium.

Blue Feet!?

I went to the doctor recently and she noticed how blue and cold my feet were so she referred me to a consultant in my local hospital, in july i've got an appointment to have circulation tests.. Has anyone ever had these tests or knows what happens??
Answer:
They just pop a blue dye into your groin area, nothing scary at all. Don't listen to the little toads trying to scare you!. This is then traced with a scanner to see if your blood can flow through to your feet. If you smoke they will blame this on poor circulation, advise you to give up or cut down. Maybe change your diet and introduce an exercise programme to increase/improve your blood flow. Don't worry you will be fine.
you're really ill
damn! Thats amputation time!
sorry not me!
Maybe gout
I don't really know what happens, pet - but the answers i've read are unhelpful to you and I should imagine you're worried enough as it is.
My nan had poor circulation in her extremities, (hands and feet) and had to wear special warm socks etc even in summer. it's a case of looking after yourself and taking a little more care with your feet and trying not to get stressed about it. Good luck
depends on your age. are you a smoker? if so, stop smoking. you will lose your feet (amputation) if you keep on smoking. does it happen only when you are cold? does lifting your feet make any difference?
i haven't had a circulation test hunny,but i have had a nerve conduction test to see if the nerves in my hands and arms are working. if its the same kind of test,then its quite uncomfortable. if you need some reassurance try ringing nhs direct if you in the uk. you can speak to a qualified nurse who will be able to put your mind at rest. good luck with everything sweety,and i hope everything all turns out for the best. warm regards xx

Blown/herniated low disk?

What's your experience?

Mine blew two years ago and I have been to hell and back.

What about you?
Answer:
It will not get better on its own. I ended up having a disk fusion, and almost all the pain is gone
Mine are torn, I suppose the same thing. I now go to a pain managment physician, live on narcotics %26 ibuprofen. For the most part, the people who have had the corrective surgery that I know of hasn't been helped. One person has told me otherwise.
I'm told there is only surgery for 1 bad disc, not 2 of coarse which is what I have.
Good luck.
P.S. I find ice packs help a lot too.

Bloody phlegm...?

When I woke up I had a little bit of a lump in my throat and brough up a couple of bits of phlegm that were red, almost black in colour. Since I got home I have been spitting out more bloody phlegm and it has now been 12 hours since I woke up. I don't have a temperature, but I have a bit of tightness in my chest. Help!
Answer:
Sounds a little like allergy symptoms, but I'm not a doctor so I couldn't say for sure... definitely go see a real doctor though! Even if it does turn out to be nothing to get concerned about, at least you would know! I wouldn't necessarily say that you need to go to the hospital- you don't seem to have any current symptoms that would warrant an emergency room visit, those visits are incredibly expensive and often times insurance companies will not pay the bill if they deem it to be a non-emergency- just make an appointment at your local clinic, pronto. Don't hold off on this, you don't want to risk letting this turn into something horrible.

:) Cheers! and feel better.
I would get to the bloody doctor. Right away.
Go to the hospital now...Y!A can't give you the help a Dr. can. Better safe then sorry.
Go to the emergency room of a hospital or an Urgent Care facility. Please don't delay. They will find out what it is and give you the help you need. I am quite concerned. Go now. Good Luck!
Could be allergies. Black in color would be old blood but if you see red blood then that is new blood. Do you feel tired or out of breath? I would seek a doctors help right away. Take care

Bloody noses?

is there a quick way to stop them?
Answer:
well for me i stick tissue in my nose to plug it so blood wont come out. drink a lot of glass of cold water (might get brainfreeze though). it works for me. i have a lot of bloody noses. even bloody noses for no reason. bloody nose in my sleep. wake up in the morning finding my self coughing out a lot of blood.
oh yea my boxing coach said bloody noses are from wen your nostrils are too dry.
he said to get a little bit of salt, put it in your palm, add warm water, mix it with your finger and sniff it up your nostril. it should come down to your mouth and u should be able to spit it out. try it for a few days. it should work. i kno it sounds stupid and dangerous, but hey. a lot of boxers do it
Hold the upper brim of your nose tightly, but not too tight, and hold your head back. This will cause the blood to slowly stop and will help it to clot. Therefore, the bloody nose will cease.

This is the proper way to end a bloody nose.

Also, hold tissue on the bleeding nostrils.

Blood test?

am i supposed to call the doc for the results of my blood test? its been over a month since i had it
Answer:
well obviously there's nothing wrong or they would have called you.
yes call.
Yes you can call your doctor the the lab results. If you went to hospital to have your blood drawn you can also call the lab that did the test for you.
they say nonews is good news. if they havent called you, then things were probably normal. If you wantthe results, you'll have to call and ask for them.
if it's been over a week i always call. usually though if you don't hear from the office everything is okay. but things do sometimes fall through the cracks so it never hurts to call and follow thru yourself.
They should have called you, but if they haven't, then yes, call them. There aren't many tests that take that long to come back!

Blood Test Results?

I just went to my doctor to have a required physical and they took some blood and I had to urine in a cup. When I got my results they said I have a mild case of anemia and he put me on some medication. Anyway, I was wondering does the doctor check for all diseases including HIV/AIDS and STD's in the blood tests or do I have to ask him to because I want to make sure that I have no diseases. Also does anyone have anemia and if you do could you explain to me what it is exactly because I did not understand it when he told me.
Answer:
Normally, required physicals include all of those tests with which you are concerned.Since you gave a urine sample, you can relax.Blood and urine= test for just about everything. Mild anemia usually is a lower than normal iron level in your body.There are other causes,also.Normally caused by diet problems but also more common in some races than others.You should be fine.You are smart to be concerned about your health.
never have that, but I think you are short of some things, you may have to eat more vegetables and fruits
i hate the doctor. i had to get blood drawn yesterday, but i have a thyroid problem.
Anemia is lack of iron in the blood. He probably put you on iron pills, which will probably make you fairly consipated. I am anemic it got worse while I was pregnant. I was on huge iron pills and then a stool softener. A lot of times, you will take the pills for 6-8 weeks and then you can go off of them!
No, they don't generally test for AID/HIV unless you ask them to. You will need more blood work for that.

Anemia is the lack of proper amount of red blood cells in your blood. It can make you feel tired and you won't be able to fight off simple colds, etc as well. Doctors usually tell you to take Iron or B12 supplements.
hi thank for you answer on my wife
