Dental Health :: Painless Raised Dots On Upper Mouth Corner?
I'm a 20 year old smoker who does an awful job at brushing her teeth. I've gone months due to my depression without taking care of my mouth but started brushing everyday since I've found these raised tiny dots on the upper corners of the mouth. they're a pale yellow and they're the size of a pen point, maybe even smaller. I also have a patch on both sides of the inside of my cheeks which recently spread to the corner of my bottom lip on the left side. they don't hurt at all, they don't ooze nor do they bleed or scab. I can't pop them either. when I first discovered them they would sometimes expand about a size or two, turn white and then painlessly pop. this has only happened the first four days they first appeared. it's been two weeks and if anything they have just spread. sometimes they even feel raised and a bit rough when I push my tongue to them then later in the day it will feel like nothing is there or back to their normal size. I was told these were fordyce spots but I am unsure due to their behavior. I know this isn't contagious because I made out with my partner when these first appeared and he's still fine. I also have a small clear sack on the inside of my cheek on both sides near my bottom teeth. can anyone confirm that these are fordyce spots? if they are what would you recommend. if not what could these little pests be?

My Gum At The Back Of My Mouth Smells Funky
My gum at the back of my mouth smells funky and I don't know what's causing it. The rest of my gums smell completely fun, it's just that one area. I have already seen my dentist and he said, my gums and teeth are very healthy. I've also been to the Dr and couldn't really get much of an answer.

View 2 RepliesNon Itchy Red Bumps / Spots On My Back, Knee, Ankle And Penis
About a year ago I got some (maybe 20) red bumps/spots on my back. Some are raised and some are flat against the skin. They don't itch. The doc gave me some steroid cream which faded them but didn't remove them entirely ( a few went away).
The problem is now I have more spots, behind my knee (3 or so), ankle (2) and on my penis (10 or so). Same thing, red spots that don't itch or cause any discomfort. They seem to appear suddenly, it's not a gradual thing. I would think they were insect bites but they don't itch, but that's what they kinda look like. They also don't heal naturally.
I've attached a pic from last year of my back. These ones have faded now but you get the idea of what they look like. I still have that cream, should i use it again or do you think i need to see a GP? I've seen two about my back and neither of them really seemed concerned to be honest, but they weren't dermatologists.
Eye Lashes :: White Spot In The Corner Of Each Eye

View 1 RepliesBack Pain :: Left Side Back Pain, Middle To Lower Back
About 2 week's ago I took 2 perc within a night and the next day I got sick, I thought from the pills, but than I was nauseous and have been for the most part ever since. My left side mid to lower back started hurting approx a week ago and it's gotten much worse last night and now I'm having pain in my upper right abdomen as if the pain moved. I'm on muscle relaxers for my back already but it's not affecting/helping my new pain though and the new pain doesn't feel the same. I was just curious if anyone had any idea what it might be, some say kidneys but does that pain or can it move from my back to my abdomen?

View 1 RepliesBack Pain After Clicking/popping Sound In The Lower Middle Back
Two days ago I was in the gym exercising my shoulders and whilst I was lifting weights, I moved my back whilst seated and I heard a 'click' sound in my back, followed by pain in that area of my lower middle back. I immediately stopped exercising and haven't gone to the gym since.
I don't know what I was thinking by moving my back like that, but since it happened there is a lot less pain and it feels like the pain may be totally gone in the next 48-72 hours hopefully.
On the night of the injury I found it hard to turn onto my side when in bed, but now I can do it without any problems. Now I can only feel some pain when I turn my upper body to the left or right or if I try to stretch my lower back.
Would anyone be able to give me some advice such as what type of injury I have or whether this may have a long term effect? Is it a very positive sign that the pain is decreasing each day?

Back Issues :: Pinched Nerve Or A Lower Back Strain?
I was doing a yoga pose (a torso twist hold which is where you lay on your back bring both legs up in the air then bring them down with your knees/legs tucked and torso twisted on opposite side) when I accidently dropped mid twist too quickly and hurt my lower back, the pain on a scale of 1-10 is about a 2-3, so a dull aching. Its localized and does not radiate down my thighs/legs or up to my neck. There's no shooting/stabbing pains and It also doesn't burn, or tingle (numbness). Could this be just a stretched/sprained back issue or a pinched nerve?. It also isn't tender to the touch at all.

Your Hair Grow Back When Your Thyroid Levels Are Back To Normal?
I was diagnosed with hypo this past november but i started feeling sick in september of 2011 when i was 17, im 19 now and my life has changed drastically due to this! My hair was falling out at a rapid rate, i was gaining weight even though i barely eat and had some really bad mood swings! Went to the doc and prescribed me levothyroxine 50mg it has been 9months since im on this medication, my levels are back to normal but i still feel as though nothing has changed, my hair is falling out i'm almost bald, its really hard to lose weight and according to my mom i have become unbearable! How long does it take to see actual progress with levothyroxine? does your hair grow back at all? will i ever feel better? i just want my life back :'( I had take a year off university because of this and i need to know if anything is gonna change! I'm sorry for the long note i'm just fed up and frustrated, thank you for your time i really appreciate it :D
View 5 RepliesBack Issues :: Chest, Arm And Upper Back Pain
I am 29 and Female. I have been under a great deal of stress lately. I have been having some minor health problems that cause my mind to go to that dark place. I am having very irregular periods and GERD/Gallbladder issues. Also, I am planning a wedding and my mother was just diagnosed with Lung cancer about 2 weeks ago.
My upper back across the "meaty" part of my shoulders has been so tight and painful. If my fiance rubs them, he finds all kinds of trigger points that are so painful to the touch I can't breathe. In the middle of my upper back I feel a sharp pain sometimes. My neck muscles are tight as well as the tops of my arms down to my elbows. On occasion my fingers tingle.
As of the past 2 days I feel a pressure on my chest right below my collar bone. If I yawn I can feel my throat muscles get sore. The very top of my sternum is tender to the touch. It almost feels bruised.
I did a little bit of research and it seems that all of these problems are connected. The scalene muscle group can cause all of these problems. I am going to see a massage therapist on thursday. Hopefully I get some relief.
Another bit of info, I have a desk job. I am at a computer for 10 hours a day. I work 60 + hours a week. I had a chest CT scan with contrast in July and it came back clear. ( unrelated incident ) So I believe I can rule out anything major. The scan is only 3 months old.
My question is; has anyone else experienced this? If so, what did you do to ease your symptoms? I have tried muscle rub so far. Doesn't help much...I am going to ice the areas today and see if that helps.
Back :: Diaphragm Pain Which Leads Through To My Upper Back
I have a pain in between my diaphragm which leads through to my upper back, I have had for approximately 3 months but getting worse, if I lie on my stomach it hurts in both front and back. I have read all sorts of things that it might be from hernia to liver/kidney problem and gallstones... I did have a small incident where I strained myself trying to hold a motorbike up from falling down and I guess I have had the problem from then on, if I stretch out sometimes I will hear a click which radiates from the front to the back, if I push in my diaphragm it hurts. I live in a third world country so and worried about going to doctor.
