[QUOTE=deathmog;37145638]So on my tailbone it feels like it's bruised and there seems to be a lump, it's JUST at the top of the crack, should I be concerned?[/QUOTE] Sounds like a pilonidal cyst. Get some antibiotics and it should clear up within a week. Or it'll burst and the pain will be gone, but there'll be a lot of pus to clean out of your underwear.
It's weird because it doesn't seem to have any marks or anything, it just feels like a bruise and im all skeptical and paranoid and shit I dont want a doctor to be sticking his fingers around my ass :c

Get over it, they are doctors so let them do their job. Get a female doctor if it bothers you that much with men.
Touche I'll get a doctors appointment soon, is there anyone here that has experience with symptoms like this, or least with a pilonidal cyst? I'm hoping it's just a bruise from sitting weird for a long period of time.
For some reason I wake up partially deaf in my left ear, sometimes it'll pop back into full hearing later in the day, but lately it's stayed partially deafened.

Firerain is/was one! but to be fair Mr Kotov if someone says they're going to join the ambulance service they tend to mean being a fully trained paramedic[/QUOTE] What ever happened to firerain?
He got perma'd
I have some sort of bump on the bottom of my right foot, what do? [editline]10th August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Autumn;37143410]you can still have them without being a pregnant woman! it's perfectly normal [sub][sub]i've always had little ones[/sub][/sub][/QUOTE] hot

help me FP my hands get dehydrated even though I fucking drink water like a water drinking mammal and sometimes coke but help they're still rugged chunks of leather how to fix? ( i even tried hand cream but that makes it worse because the cream dries up and makes my skin feel ahfhafdhafdfd )
what do you mean dehydrated? do you just mean dry, like dry skin? or just thick skin? what sort of hand cream did you use? do you do a lot of manual work?
[QUOTE=Autumn;37164501]what do you mean dehydrated? do you just mean dry, like dry skin? or just thick skin? what sort of hand cream did you use? do you do a lot of manual work?[/QUOTE] my hands, not anywhere else, are extremely dry i used a hand cream that is meant to hydrate your hands and make them smooth, but in the end that's just a temporary fix because it fades away after a while for some reason by manual work what do you mean? i do a lot of lifting ( boxes furniture etc ) i've only had this since last month and it's getting very annoying
How are your hands dry? My hands aren't sweaty either am I sick? Or do you just mean leathery? Because that's normal when you do stuff with them a lot (AKA lifting).
[QUOTE=SEKCobra;37164993]How are your hands dry? My hands aren't sweaty either am I sick? Or do you just mean leathery? Because that's normal when you do stuff with them a lot (AKA lifting).[/QUOTE] the skin on my hands feels extremely dry and coarse its like touching sandpaper do you know any way to make it less horrible because the tips of my fingers dry up and thats painful
If your hands hurt and are like sandpaper and are dry in a sense that seems wrong, please see a doctor, that's a symptom that definitely goes beyond a bit of hand moisture cream.
The past few days my heart rate has been pretty stable over 100 bpm at rest. I know I have tachycardia, but in the past it has never lasted this long, it's never really lasted longer than a couple hours until now. I already had an appointment with my doctor for thursday, hopefully I can sort this shit out
Kind of a weird medical thing to bring up, but it is really irritating. I literally just peed and still my penis continually feels like I need to take another piss. I tried, but nothing is coming out, but this feeling that I need to pee is continuing to persist. Any advice for what this might be?
i'm not at all sure if it's the same for guys as it is for girls, but when girls have peed and still have a need to pee it's normally a sign of a bladder/urinary tract infection. but then, those are a lot more common in females than men anyway if you have any discomfort whilst peeing (within the next day or so) or blood in your urine (either streaks or peachy coloured pee) then i'd go see a doctor, it's usually a short course of antibiotics and you're good to go. but this is all speaking from [B]female[/B] experience, so take it with a pinch of salt. otherwise generally just keep well hydrated, ideally just drink [U]lots[/U] of water, and i've always found cranberry juice helps also - and it's super tasty!
I found out what was causing my stomach to go sour. I've been using this water-bottle whilst working out, and I checked under the cap and there was all this goo/mold and shit that had most likely been contaminating the drink. I feel fine now, after I switched drinking bottles. In the future, maybe it's best to clean it after use.
God damn, my stomach is such an ass to me. A few months ago I was in class, and it started making noises, out of nowhere, then it got really fucking bad and loud, like it was squealing, everyone could hear it and I got embarassed as fuck, this probably made it worse, I went to the toilet, feeling like it was about to explode and shit all over the walls, but I only needed to piss, then I went back and it continued but quieter. This caused me to start chugging charcoal pills, simetecone pills, colpermanine pills, vitamins and other shit to prevent it from happening again, what the fuck is it doing.... On summer holiday now and it has been perfectly fine, but it started acting up again a week from the end of the holidays, it's kind of groaning and making noises, not incredibly loud but you would notice it in a silent class room, I'm scared as shit that it will start getting louder again. Anyone know what the fuck is up?
Probably quite an obvious question - but have you changed your diet at all? Just because that's happened to me before.
[QUOTE=Mr Kotov;37203301]Probably quite an obvious question - but have you changed your diet at all? Just because that's happened to me before.[/QUOTE] Well, not really, when I'm at school I usually have lunch and at home or on holiday I dont, and at School it usually consists of something pretty unhealthy
Hm... for me I started eating white bread and my stomatch did not like that at all. Only thing I can suggest is that you try leaving certain things out of your diet to see if it gets any better, because that's what I did. Then again, it might have nothing to do with your diet at all.

All of them talked about the women's UTI without talking about men. Although, once site mentioned UTIs in men if they masturbated too much, but that was definitely not the case this time. Anyways it's gone now, but I did go out and buy cranberry juice.
Guys my right nipple has two nipples am I going to die? But seriously, I do have a split nipple. Looks kinda like [URL="http://www.channel4embarrassingillnesses.com/mmlib/includes/sendimage.php?path=3032.c8bccbbd&width=392&height=294"]this[/URL].
My butt hurts when I get angry...
Does anyone in the bay area know any good, but cheap TMJ specialists? I've been looking forever but no dice.
I started getting really concerned today. In my right earlobe I can feel something hard when I squeeze but can't see it even when my earlobe is stretched. It feels about the size of a lemon seed and doesn't hurt when I squeeze it but the fact that it is there and not in my left earlobe is concerning. I'm not worried yet but a little advice about what it could be would be nice.
have you ever pierced your ear?

I managed to somehow get a spot on my earlobe a few years ago, and it felt like that; was pretty hard to see it.
