Ok I'm 16 years old and I was having back problems during basketball season and I went and got a cat scan and they found out that I have spondylolysis.i was diagnosed in the middle of March and I 've been wearing a back brace since then...ocassionally i feel a slight ache here and there but i feel its gettin better...i get another catscan in about 4 weeks...i've already started ab tightening exercises in physical therapy.but yea..do you think my spine is nearly healed becuase i really want to get back to playin basketball and gettin trainin for football.its been so hard havin to watch everyone else play.
Answer:
NO it is too soon. Absolutely NO exercise.
You are doing the right thing, back brace and exercise. Now you will have to wait for the Cat Scan, but if the inflammation has subsided, congratulations and I expect they just might let you start back at basketball. However WAIT for the Cat Scan, do not do anything silly, stupid, just wait because it might be worth it in the end.

Do you think my guy cheated?
So weve been together for over 4 years, and he just found out that he has genital warts. hes the only guy ive ever been with and ive never cheated on him...he on the other hand has had other partners before me, and has been living in germany for the past 2 years (without me). I have no signs or symptoms of this std, but im sure i probably have now though...what should I do?? I know it could be from years ago and everything...but how do i know that i can trust him? just really needed to get this off my cheat, thanks
Answer:
Dude, HPV has the ability to lie dormant for YEARS. There is no way to tell if he cheated or not. And yes, you almost certainly have it too. Not everyone has symptoms. Some people's immune systems can just control it better than others, that's all.You should really do some research on the topic. I know you're freaked out now, but it's really not that bad. Also, you should be more worried about the kind of HPV that causes cervical cancer. Be sure to get regular pap smears just in case. Check this out too:http://www.healthandhpv.com/
Sorry to say but there's no way to tell...they can show for years after infection, or he could have had them and neither of you noticed. This is extremely common for males.
2 years?? of course he cheated
IF HES BEEN WITH ALOT OF WOMEN THEN WHY DID U SLEEP WITH HIM KNOWING THAT? YOU LIKE SLOPPY LEFTOVERS? HOPEFULLY NEXT TIME BE MORE PICKY
he could be telling the truth ,my husband was told he had them 2 weeks after i met him he had them removed and was told they could return at anytime thoughout his life ,also dont panick just yet i slept with him loads of times whilst he had them (unknowing!) and i didnt get them so you may not either.
you must trust him if you,ve stayed together 2 years whilsts hes been away. if the warts are your only concern that he has been cheating then you need to find other proof ,trust your instincts .
you cant tell but id say yea he cheated. us guys are dogs and its hard to keep it in our pants even when the girl lives in our city. i dont cheat but the desire for something new is always there... but it may just be me. but there are alot of prostitutes and easy women in germany
well if he is cheating on you he ins't good enough for you
And hopefully he isn't cheating on you

Do you think it is time that we order our health insurance companies to pay for tests that can save our lives?
like PET scans that detect where cancer goes? Apparently even if you have insurance, you can't use it even if we want to because your insurance won't pay for a test if it is inpatient or for some other reason. If I pay for insurance, shouldn't I get a full ticket to recovery?
Answer:
HI. I feel sorry about your medicare.I dont live in the USA but we are close allies.I live in a country where i receive free medical protection.This sounds good in theory but the cost is rather high to the taxpayer.We have long lineups and could take 2 months to see specialalist.Just swipe my card and Im in the system,that cost is 1000$ at emergency.They evaluate you and put on "priority"I allways thought that visiting hospitals was good for the immune system since your exposed to every bug present.To get back to topic:Many of us use your medical system for fster service.Our medical status is good but only to a certain point.Blue cross,green cross gives you more service.In your country a change like this would meet heavy resistance from insurance companies.I believe this will happen in your country as well,just matter of time.What you could push for is full coverage at a lwer price or perhaps,geared to income.This would be advantages to all Americans as you are"equall"in your constitution,at least in theory.
Your health insurance company is trying to get the most bang for the buck in terms of monies it receives from policy holders and monies it pays out for all immunizations, medical tests, x-rays, scans, procedures, office visits, hospitalizations, etc.A PET scan costs from $3000 to $6000 dollars. That's a huge chunk of money for the benefit of a single patient (which is not necessarily wrong, of course). Used to detect the spread of cancer, it's very probably something which would need to be repeated periodically.The insurance company has very probably studied the statistics for whether the benefits gained from such tests justify its expense--and their not paying for hundreds or thousands of other health services for their policyholders. One PET scan for Patient X, or 600 pap smears, or 1,000 immunizations?Are you entitled to any and every test because you carry health insurance? No. If you were, the premiums for all of us would be so high only the wealthy could afford it. Are you entitled to petition your insurer to cover a test they have previously refused to cover, with data to suggest its cost is worthwhile and could save a life? Sure.Best of luck. Be well.

Do you think I have Mono?
Well, first I had an extremely high fever.This was followed by a stuffy nose and sore throat, thought the sore throat wasn't too bad; not, like, strep level or anything. I had a horrible cough, though.
Then I got the runny nose, still with the cough.Everything was going okay after that, but now I tired ALL the time. I sleep about fifteen hours a day. I can't stay awake during class and even fall asleep when I'm walking.I think I may have it; one of my friends from school was diagnosed with it and I shared her lip gloss all the time.My parents say I don't and won't take me to the doctor. Can I get a second opinion?
Answer:
It sounds like you do to me, my brother had it last year from drinking the same water during football as the other players.
mono is the name of my frisbee
Go to the school nurse,she can probanly tell.If not then go hang all over your parents till they get it too,cause mono is very catchy!its airborn...Good luck.
Hi, personally I don't think you have Mono. I've had that myself years ago and was very ill with it although the degree of it can affect people differently. Why don't you go to a walk in clinic, you will have to have your health card though to do this. Mono can be spread just like a cold, somebody sneezes or doesn't wash there hands and then you touch something they've touched and then you touch you eyes or mouth. It is a myth that it is only caused by kissing.

Do You think I have acanthosis Nigricans?
I went to the doctors about 5 months ago with a condition I've had since I was about 12.
I get brown scarring below my breasts under my arms and around my neck.
I went to the docs who told me I had Pitriasis Versicolor and suggested selsun I must admit I only tried it about three times but I got impatient and now they say I've got Acanthosis Nigricans.
BUT I'm not extremely over weight and my insulin level is normal.
And when the affected area is wet if I scratch it lots of dead skin comes off.
And my breasts have very flakey skin almost like severe dandruff I think this Is Pitryaisis versicolor not Acanthosis Nigrican what do u think??
Answer:
diabetes is just one of the causes of Acanthosis Nigrican.
You doctor may have diagnosed you with this because he thought the selsun didnt work on the Pityriasis. Did you tell your doctor you didn't use it as was fully recommended? If he assumed you used it correctly and to the entire length of time, it may look to him like your symptoms didnt respond to treatment.Of course i don't know your medical history so i can't say for sure what you have. If you really feel that the diagnosis is wrong, you should tell your doctor and ask for an alternative treatment for Pityriasis, as i have read that there are several treatment options. From my reading and your descriptions it sounds as if you are describing the pityriasis Versicolor, which is basically a complex yeast infection of the skin. Pressure your doctor to pursue another treatment, possibly read up on the treatments of it and mention a treatment you would like to try. Don't be afraid of being persistent with your doctor. The doctor's goals are to get patients in and out as fast as possible and this may make them overlook certain details.Best wishes
Questions: Does it itch? How old are you? And is the surface of this scarring rough like a carpet? If it itches, it could be Pitiriasis versicolor, a dermatomycosis. If it spreads, this also speaks in favour of this. But if you have it for a long time, and if it is rough on the surface, then it could also be acanthosis nigricans. However, this disease is very often a "side effect" of cancer. So, if you are not old, have it long and don't have any other symptoms, then it is probably not acanthosis nigricans.

Do you think I acted safe?
I made out with my boyfriend last week.( I'm gay)
We kissed and hugged. We were half-naked. I did not take off my pants, while he stayed in his underwear. But we kissed and hugged a lot . Am I at any risk?
Answer:
you should be ok, although some drs think you can get HIV from heavy kissing. also, you can get herpes from kissing too.
i'm not expert but no. unless he has oral herpes, but i guess you'd knwo that
HPV and herpes can be transmitted easily when no symptoms are present. HPV not only can live on any part of the body, it also lives on the hair and surrounding tissue of the groin area and cannot be detected. It's estimated that over 90% of the population has HPV. Not all are the deadliest strains. Some strains cause cancer. Not only cervical cancer but neck, head, anal and oral cancers are associated with HPV.
depends on if he has any oral herpes or not.

Do you think Flonase or Nasonex is a better nasal spray? What is the difference between the 2?
Answer:
The difference doesn't matter, because every person is different. Flonase didn't work for me at all, while Nasonex just barely keeps my symptoms at bay. One person may be immune to one but not he other. You would have to try each yourself and judge it on how effective it is to you.
try them both and see what you think
Flonase for sure!!
