Open Question: Why does my knee lock up?
Sometimes when I bend my knee in for whatever reason, it locks in place. What happens is I'll bend my knee up (I've noticed it USUALLY happens when I bend in quickly, although since it happens infrequently, I might be wrong), I'll feel this sort of popping sensation in my knee, and then the underside of my knee will feel a little weird (sorry I can't describe it any better than that). Attempting to extend my leg back out is extremely painful. I don't know if just waiting makes it go away or if I'm extending my leg out a certain way. When I manage to extend my leg without pain I'm back to normal until it happens again. I'm not sure what it is, but sometimes it gets really annoying. For example, I fell asleep on the couch, rolled off, woke up and my knee was locked. I was effectively stuck on the floor. My mom and stepfather "helped" me by grabbing my ankle and trying to pull my leg open. Didn't feel too great. Thanks.
Open Question: girls- what would happen if i will start shaving my armpits at age 14?

Open Question: Advice on rest between workouts?
Ok well currently my routine is this Monday & Thursday -Chest/Triceps Tuesday & Saturday- Legs Wednesday & Sunday- Biceps/Back Friday- Abs/Cardio I just recently joined Golds Gym. I use to work out at my house but it wasnt doin the job anymore. The first time ever working out at Golds it was a leg day and my legs were killin me the next day. They are still a little sore now but its another leg day tomorrow. Im pretty sure my legs were so sore because im not use to all the different machines and ways to work them. After a week or so i shouldnt be AS sore from my workouts i would think. So is it ok if i just work my legs out at like 75% tomorrow. I wouldnnt be straining them too much since they are still a little sore but I would still be working them. I have about 3 full days of rest between each workout of the same group of muscles. I try to get ATLEAST 100g of protein a day just from shakes/bars not including other foods such as eggs/meats. With this amount of protein combined with enough sleep i believe 72 hours of rest is sufficient. Any advice?

Open Question: KOREAN GINSENG AND GINKGO SIDE EFFECTS????!?
I just start back working out and I normally don't take any type of supplements but I decided to give ginkgo(120mg capsules from wal-mart)and Korean ginseng)250mg more concentrated capsules from a organic food store)a try and I just recently started taking them. I take ginseng in the morning and ginkgo in the late evening usually with dinner. Gingko is usually good for memory support and also for blood circulation and I use it for blood circulation and ginseng is used for energy. I've been taking it for about a month now and the side effects I get are hard erections through out the day and their difficult to go down. Is this normal with these pills? Are they suppose to make a male horny? Will these 2 herbs help me lose weigh? Please someone who has experience this herbs let me know thanks

I'm 15 years old and will be 16 in November. I was on varsity Poms last year (i will be on varsity again next year) and have done ballet for 13 years now. As I get into more intense training as well as participate in more intense competitions, i have had issues with my weight. I weigh A LOT (182 lb) and am about 5' 10" tall.

Open Question: I have antibiotic cream for my face ... can that affect my birth control pill if I accidentally lick my lips?
I keep forgetting to not rub my lips with the cream because when I do my tongue tends to touch my lips and I can taste it. So what I did was rinse my mouth out with water a few times when that happened. I know it's only a super thin layer of cream on my lips, but I like to be safe. This shouldn't affect my pill, right?

Open Question: Azithromycin for Chlamydia?
I saw the doctor and had the test about a week ago. It showed that I got Chlamydia. I was given 1G of Azithromycin (totally 4 tablets) for a single does 7 days ago and I took it. I didn't feel there's any improvement the first 3 days after I took. From the 4th day, I started feeling better. Right after I woke up, I went to the washroom, I still felt some burning and itchy inside the tip of my penis but definitely got better than before. After the first pee in the morning, I usually didn't feel anything when I went pee the other time of the day. However, it's the 7th day today after I took the pills. This morning, I still felt little burning and itchy, pretty the same as yesterday. I am wondering if this is normal? Does it mean I still have the virus? Or, the virus has been killed but the burning and itchy feeling would still lasts for a certain period even after the virus has been gone? Please advise. Thanks. P.S. the doctor told me to have a re-check in a month after I took the pills.

Open Question: Bleeding with bowel movements?
I need HELP!! I just had a baby one month ago tomorrow (second child) :) She was a vaginal birth. The Dr. said I had a "small" hemorrhoid and it was no big deal. However, now - my stool is covered in bright red blood and it drips from my anus. Also, the pain is horrible! It hurts to have a bowel movement and it hurt for the next day or two after one. I am also using stool softener and I am still bleeding that bad! After the birth of my first child I had an anal fissure that needed surgery. How do you know if it is a hemorrhoid or an anal fissure? I am going to call the Dr. tomorrow. I hope I dont need surgery again any thoughts?

Open Question: Could HIV be transmitted this way?
This is a long story but please bear with me. Two months ago I had my weekly grocery shop delivered to my home by a very famous UK supermarket, the lady who delivered cam eto my front door and said "oh it appears they haven't pu your shopping in bags as you requested, I will put it in for you" she then proceeded to pack my shopping, she then noticed that she had cut her hand and said "I cut my hand, I must have done it on my van, oh I've bled on your shopping now". In hindsight I should of sent it back, but she was a nice lady and I didn't want to cause a scene, but there was blood on some of my shopping. My husband filled the washing up bowl with soapy water and dipped each item in the water. I know that nothing in my cupboards could possibly still be contaminated (if the lady was HIV positive), but I did put some things in the freezer and I have read that frozen blood can help to keep HIV positive blood alive, and that once it defrosts it is still contaminated. I tried to get something out tonight and as I pulled on the freezer drawer ice sprayed out on me, can it still be contaminated?

Open Question: It hurts so much, Maybe I'm Wrong?
I was Born into a religious family. Now I don't go to church anymore. It Just depresses me too much and I feel a lot better that I'm not going... most the time. The religion I was born into is very strict. From no saying vulgar words/Swearing, To no sex before marriage. The list goes on... A few months ago I went to go live with my boyfriend two states away. My parents were very against it. But I knew it was something I needed to do... I just knew it was right. So I left, I'm happy with him and If we had the money we would get married. My family misses me. I miss them too, I love them so much. I talk to them a few times a week but.... it's hard.... to talk to my parents. I have always had this gift(maybe curse) to feel what people feel to sympathize with people.. and actually understand. I have surprised many people with how I can describe to a Tee what they are feeling. I know this because I feel it within myself like I'm experiencing their views and emotions. It's weird... but it's just how I am. I can feel so strongly.... My parents, just, when we talk on the phone. Sometimes we hit subjects I just.... I'm sorry, I'm trying my best too explain(not good with words). It's so hard. They don't like what I'm doing. Like I have had sex before marriage. I only had it with this man because I love him and I want/plan to marry him. He's my one and only. But my parents morals... it makes them sad, and just a whole bunch of other things. I know they wish I would come back to the church more than anything... it hurts them so much. and ... I feel horrible about it. It almost felt like I ran away from them, because it hurts so much to be around them. I never said flat out hey... I'm having sex with this guy... but I think they know, they are smart. I just feel like I cause so much misery sometimes. It hurts to think about all this. I've changed so much ever since I left my religion and it's a good religion with good people... .it just wasn't for me. I think they wish they had the old me back... and that hurts too. What if I'm in the wrong? I mean what if it's me that needs to change again. I don't know. I've even lied to them which was like the first time I've lied about anything... I lied to protect them... but also myself... and at the time i didn't even see it as a lie. It was so hard to lie to them. Maybe all the things I'm doing are wrong.... Living with him, occasionally using drugs and drinking, the tattoo I've gotten ( against old religion). I don't know, I just really don't know... but I want the hurt to go away. I want their hurt to go away, too. I'm just hoping someone knows what to say... Can someone help me know what to do?

Open Question: Best way to use MRM whey protein isobolic for weight loss?
Hi All, I’m a pretty big guy 330 pounds x-college football player with an athletic build however during the past 2 years I put on some pounds due to eating bad choice foods and not exercising. For the past 2 weeks I have been working out, treadmill and mostly pushups along with avoiding fast food and making better choices when it comes to food. I’m planning on purchasing whey protein isobolic and substituting dinner with the whey mixed with milk, ice, Greek yogurt and either blue berries or strawberries or maybe even a banana to make a shake. However I wanted to know how many times I should take the shake in one day. I only planned on taking it once a day for dinner but I was considering also for breakfast and just having a decent lunch. Any help from people that have used this product would be really helpful, I am mainly looking to drop down in weight and just get a bit cut up.

I know you have to grow up (chronologically/by time), but do you have to ACT your age? I mean, lets say someone turns... 21 or any mature-by-law age... can they still look like and act like that age?

Can I be a kid forever? **I have a fear of aging. x( i didnt wanna celebrate my birthday but I did for the cake!)

So it makes it tough for me to want to go out to meet people or to parties and stuff, because I know that if something happens I'll have to face that moment. Where she'll be like "oh". What do I do? Do women really care that much or am I overreacting? Are there any women out there with husbands or boyfriends that are small?
Open Question: how do i go back to my normal self?

I would like to have my face thinner and my legs and stomach thinner. I was wondering if there were any exercises I could possibly do to get back to the shape i used to be in! I am desperate and need a quick fix!!
Open Question: Thrush, HIV, and stress?
Hi guys. I have some questions about oral and vaginal thrush and HIV, and stress. Recently, I had a sexual relationship with a person who gave me trichomoniasis. I went to the dotor when I started experiencing symptoms, and they gave me strong antibiotics called Flagyl to clear it up. I was supposed to take four pills of Flagyl in one single dose. I didn't understan my instructions, and I took one per day for four days. None of my symptoms of trich were gone until the fourth day (the burning urination stopped). But the itching persisted. So I went back to the doctor, thinking I still had trichomoniasis, but she said I didn't. She said I developed a yeast infection due to the antibiotics, and she gave me generic Diflucan to take orally. But, then I started developing angular cheilitis and oral thrush symptoms. So, I went back to the doctor (these are all different doctors, btw), and she told me I had oral thrush due to the antibiotics and gave me an oral rinse. I haven't really started the oral rinse because I feel like the oral diflucan is helping my oral thrush a lot, but the oral diflucan is NOT helping my yeast infection much at all. It isn't so intense, but it's really not going away. Oral Diflucan is supposed to be a one dose pill, but she gave me three pills for some reason and told me to take one every 72 hours. I have taken two so far and I am not feeling too much relief from symptoms. So, how does this tie into HIV and stress? Well, I know that oral and vaginal thrush are HIV symptoms. I get yeast infections allllll the time, and I have always tested HIV negative, but normally I use vaginal suppositories and the yeast infections go away. The only time I ever had a yeast infection that persisted like this was when I was in Germany and the yeast infection medication there is in the form of a pill you insert into your vagina. It didn't work. But I figured DIflucan pills would work. Maybe I just need to wait for the third pill, but I've also taken antibiotics before and never developed oral thrush. I don't know. Anyway, I took an HIV test, and I tested negative, which is a big indication that my symptoms have nothing to do with HIV, HOWEVER, my HIV test was 9-3 weeks after my sexual relationship ended. That means that it was nine weeks from the first time we slept together and about 3 weeks after the last, which isn't truly enough time to get conclusive results. I went on an HIV+ online forum, and the people there told me that tests taken at 6 weeks are generally accurate, but you should test 13 weeks after the last sexual contact. That leaves me with about another 10 weeks to go before I have a truly conclusive result for my HIV test. Meanwhile, this whole thing has me under a level of stress that I have never experienced in my life. It's literally CRIPPLING stress. I have no IDEA how to cope with this or how to handle this because I made a mistake. I've never had an STI before, and I trusted my partner. On top of that, I've never worried THIS MUCH about having HIV because I have always been fairly safe and I've been tested. Now I'm HORRIFIED and I don't know what to do. This "ministry of health" websites indicates that you can have a fairly conclusive OraQuick test result at 2-4 weeks after potential exposure: http://www.anonymoushivtest.com.sg/testfaq.html Other websites also suggest an OraQuick Advance test is fairly reliable at 3-4 weeks. Should I rest my fears of HIV and attribute this whole thing to the mondo mega super ultra stress I'm feeling? I need some advice.

Open Question: laziness as a medical condition?
laziness has affected everything in my life in a huge way. i'm a nineteen y/o girl and i dropped out of school in grade 10 because i didn't want to get out of bed because i was legit tired all the time and i didn't want to go through the process. so i've been doing whatever i want since, and i'm just destroying myself. i'm not arrogant, but i'm above average in attractiveness and i was in gifted classes before i dropped out, it just makes me think it's such a waste. even really small tasks i struggle with and reward myself on. the worst part is that i have such energy in my mind when i think about things that make me happy or things i would like to accomplish but i feel too drained to attempt fixing my life at this point and wouldn't even know how to begin. how do you overcome chronic laziness, especially when there is no one around to motivate you or stop you from being really unproductive?

Open Question: Should my permanent tooth wiggle?
I have irrational health anxiety, and my latest tick is something I've noticed for years, however, I feel like since I've focused on it, the problem has become worse (most likely in my mind.) I'm 21. Clearly all of my teeth are permanent. I can only feel my front teeth wiggle if I press a finger against the front of them and press my lower teeth into them. There is no ache, and I take pretty good care of my teeth. I mostly do this becuase of my ability to worry myself, but some reassurance and suggestions would be nice. Thanks guys.
Open Question: Lymph node was swollen for about 10 days, then shrunk significantly?
For about 10 days I had a painless, rubbery-feeling lymph node in my left armpit. It was nearly 2.5 centimeters then, and after those 10 days (and in the 5 weeks since then) became just under a centimeter; you REALLY have to look for it to find it now, but it's still there. I'm worried it could be lymphoma? Surely, if it shrank and doesn't seem to be coming back, it couldn't be lymphoma?

Open Question: Is this normal from a tick bite?
Yesterday, I was in the woods, so I made sure that I checked for ticks. This morning I found one on my stomach and one on my arm. They were dark reddish/brown/black. I used my fingers to pluck them off. However, I didn't check to see if the heads were completely out of my skin. Now, there is an itchy red bump on my stomach where the tick was. Is this normal, or should I see a doctor? Thanks!

Open Question: Why do I get blisters in my mouth after kissing?
so me and my girlsfriend just hit second base....and all of sudden I've been finding blisters in my mouth. the first one was by the bottoms of my gums by chim, then the second one was on my tongue. Those are the only two I've found and they went away pretty fast But I was wondering if these blisters could be a result of making out.

Open Question: I hit the back of my head about 2 weeks ago. I hit the back right part of my head.?
I was drunk one night and I manage to hit my head twice (back part). I couldn't tell if I had a concussion, cause I was too drunk. I manage to somehow get myself into bed. I manage to wake up 6 hours later fully alert but with tenderness at the back part of my head. It has been 2 weeks since the incident. I am wondering if I should still worry about internal bleeding? As of now I have bit tenderness when I rub my head (hard, like I am scratching my head) at the spot of where I hit it. Should I be concern?

Open Question: Will I Pass My Blood & Urine Drug Test? I smoked hashish?
Hello, I am worried that I might be in some trouble. I smoked some pretty potent Indian hashish (10-26%THC) about a week ago, and am wondering if the drug will show up in a blood & urine drug test which I will be taking in two days. I am not a chronic user, this was kind of a one time thing, but I'll admit I got incredibly high. I understand that THC stores in your body's fat cells, and that you must metabolize it out of your system, but am not sure whether it has left mine yet. I'd consider myself to have a very fast metabolism (I eat whatever I want, and a lot of it, and am quite skinny) I'm about 150lbs and 6 feet tall. I've been drinking a lot of water all week, about 2 liters a day, but since finding out about the drug test I've increased this number. Just hearing your opinions will really help and be much appreciated. Also, if you don't think it has left my system, any recommendations? No, I can't go out and buy any fancy detox pills, so home remedies would be cool. Thanks for your help in advance

Open Question: What will the dentist do for me?
My teeth are really bad. I let them go bad for a long time. They are all starting to rot away and I am in such pain. I am going to the dentist tomorrow to see what he can do for me. I know I'm probably going to need false teeth. How do they do that? I have never had any kind of surgery before and I'm afraid about being put to sleep because I know what they are going to be doing. Will the dentist allow payments on the bill? I really don't know anything about this, so any info will help out a lot.
Open Question: head injury, concussion?, hit my head,?
I hit my head on my way out of the subway train, on the gates rim. This was exactly 3 weeks ago. First, it was just a normal hit on the head, it didn't feel unusual. But I became more and more frightened as the numbness on my head (constant), and a short, reasonably sharp headache (occasional) persisted. I hit my head on the top right roof of the skull, and the numbness is on my bottom back right. Early on, the numbness was on the right. Head aches usually hurt the sides. The ear rings but it has gotten better. What frightens me the most is the sound, similar to the one when a rice crispy is torn apart, that I hear when I rest my head on my pillow, or walk down the stairs. It feels as if not enough blood is going into my brain. and I feel tired. All the while I played soccer, got a flu, and have not gone to the hospital yet, which I suppose was really stupid, because all of these kind of made the situation worse. I have an exam tomorrow, and classes are pretty tight until Saturday. I feel tired when I think. I'm also freaked out about the possibility of losing my thinking ability, as this is really important for me.
Open Question: What is the best way to lose weight?
So i have been feeling rather unconfident lately, and i believe it is because of my weight. Im 16 and i am 5' 3, so know it may be normal, but i have never been to the point where i have been over weight. i feel like i have been gaining weight and i remember last year, i was alot skinnier than i am now. I had a flatter stomach and everything. I am usually athletic and i watch what i eat most of the time. Now, i feel like my waist has gotten alot bigger and my theighs seem bigger too. My arms seem thicker and it all makes me look over weight. So i have been trying situps and other things to try and slim me down a little, but nothing seems to be working. If it is weight that i am gaining, i need a way to help slim me up, and keep it off. i was thinking about drinking more water and eating less food through out the day, but i dont want to completely starve myself. Please if you have any suggestions, let me know. I highly appreciate it. Thank you
