Hi all, today I went into the changing rooms of a shop to try on a shawl. I could not believe how enormous I am. I was 11st (5' 6'') 3 years ago when I began suffering from excruciating sciatica. I quickly became debilitated and so just sat around comfort eating for 2 years until spinal surgery finally

A bit worried.
Good evening everybody, patricia7 here, I just wanted to let you all know what has been going on. I filled out a form for ESA at the same time I had to fill in a new claim for PIP, sent that off on Monday; a bit worried about that, they say it can take 16 weeks to make a decision. I have had a bad

Extreme Penile Pain - Suspecting Pudendal Nerve Entrapment - Seeking Advice and Hope
Hello everyone, My name is David, I'm 24 and I live in LA. About six months or so, I developed a distinct pain at the head/tip of my penis. I was sexually active at the time, so I figured I may have caught an STD or maybe just had UTI. Got tested for multiple STDs and infections by various urologists

Asthma BETTER with common cold?!
I thought colds and flus were meant to make asthma worse, but I feel really good these last few days if you don't count the usual cold misery. Why has my asthma eased up with something known to worsen it? :o Or will my asthma only flare up AFTER the cold passes? EDIT: I never usually cough with asthma

Biggest mistake ever :/
I believe I have herpes, I received oral sex for some minutes with broken skin on my penis from using the wrong soap, it was a Sex worker, I had a beautiful gf and life was going so good but I think I've screwed everything , I asked her if she'd ever had a cold sore she said no and she had no lip sores

Crunch time!
I have just been diagnosed with degenerative hip problems, lordosis (excessive curvature of the lumbar spine), scoliosis of the lumbar spine, spina bifida occulta (hidden) and I have a 25-50% slip of my 5th lumbar vertebrae. All this is resulting in spinal fusion surgery in the new year which is major

Lithotripsy and Spinal Fusions
My name is Karen and I have a history of kidney stones. The last kidney stone was a 16 mm stone and took two lithotripsy's to break it up. I have also had a lumbar fusion L5 & S1 in 2001 and my latest x-ray showed a post surgical change in the Lumbosacral spine. This was noted from X-rays done between

Vibrating feet
Sounds strange doesn't it? But I have googled as I don't understand why it's happening, but today they haven't stopped with the intermittent vibrating. I have no pain but it's annoying. I've read that it could be a vit b12 deficiency or I need to have a break from my vitamins that I'm already taking

Back Spasms
Has anyone experienced continuous back spasms? No meds have helped to date. The next step is to try a spinal cord stimulator. Any one used this device and their experience?

Spinal cord stimulator
So I've been diagnosed with CRPS for the last year. This month I finally met with a consultant who wanted to get right now to treatment. I'd already tried most other treatments and was referred to a consultant at St Thomas London for a spinal cord stimulator. Despite many doctors being concerned that
