Ive been doing some reserach and it seems as though i may have lymph nodes in my pelvic area. After giving birth i noticed them and they got really big then went away, all but one which has left an open hole in my skin Has anyone ever experienced this? I went to a doctor she told me to see my ob/gyn because she ahs never seen anything like that and didnt know how to treat it.
The hole has gotten bigger and is painful to walk at times
Answer:
swollen lymph nodes are a sign of infection. i encourage you to seek medical assistance for this problem. it seems the infection caused a cyst of some kind, like a big pimple or some people call it a boil. it is infection of some kind.
wow. YOU should for sure go to the hospital get it inspected and checked. look it up on the internet for more help
You need to be seen by a dr. Try another one if necessary. Do not delay.

Lung cancer anyone get cured that you know?
Answer:
The chances for a cure depend on what kind of cancer it is and whether it has metastasized or not, and probably the specific mutations of the cancer (specific to that person). I have known a lot of people who have died from it. And, I have known people who lived many years without "curable" cancer. But, it is generally a real tough fight.
My brother-in-law is all clear after 10-12 years
The two knew, no. Now my Mother has it. We'll see.
Yes, a guy that I worked with underwent chemo and has been cancer free for 16 years. Today, they are having great success treating many types of lung cancer.
Lumps in chest (only serious answers please)?
im in my early 20s and a female. in my upper chest above breasts.. in the pecs.. when i lift my arms. i can feel lumps in different areas and some are sore to the touch. what could it be besides the obvious... or if it is that... im scared what do i do
Answer:
i have the same problem and went to the doctor. she told me i have fibrosis breast disorder. she said that there are some things that will make my breast painful. smoking, caffeine, chocolate and my period. before you start worrying to much you should go to the doctor. that way you will know for sure instead of being misdiagnosed.
get yourself checked out ASAP. If its lumps then it could be cancer (sorry i know you know this)................but the earlier you get it diagnosed, the better your chances.
What you MUST do, and do immediately, is go see your doctor! It may be nothing, but the sooner you go and get it taken care of the better!!!

well, breasts are naturally lumpy...but anything larger than a pea or two should be checked out. you'll have nothing to lose if you get checked and just a simple check could save a lot!
The only advice that I would give you is please place your fear aside and think about your future and get to a doctor as soon as possible. It could be a number of things, but you need to know for your health and peace of mind.
Good luck to you.

try to think positive not all lumps
are cancerous
do NOT wait for answers here... get urself to a doc immediately... lumps on chest/breasts may be an indication towards early stages of breast cancer... !!! act fast!!!
I bet you are pretty nervous about now after having read all of those answers. I would scared out of my mind. : )
Sounds to me that you have inflammed swollen lymph nodes/lymph glands. I have this problem under both of my underarms. I have a disease that affects my lymph nodes so I know it can be scary but I have also learned that if they are sore, not much concern, the ones that are not sore are the ones that you need to pay close attention.

Lump on my breast?
This is not a breast cancer, unless my doctor doesn't think so. It occured for no reasons at all. It's under my left breast. It hurts, not only the lilttle bump but the whole breast when I rub it against something. my doc said it's infected. what does it mean. and what are the medications to kill it?
Answer:
Lumps in a woman are often caused by fibrocystic changes, fibroadenomas, and cysts.
Fibrocystic changes can occur in either or both breasts. These changes occur in many women (especially during the reproductive years) and are considered a normal variation of breast tissue. Having fibrocystic breasts does not increase your risk for breast cancer. It does, however, make it more difficult to interpret lumps that you or your doctor find on exam. Many women feel tenderness in addition to the lumps and bumps associated with fibrocystic breasts.
Fibroadenomas are non-cancerous lumps that feel rubbery and are easily moveable within the breast tissue. Like fibrocystic changes, they occur most often during the reproductive years. Usually, they are not tender and, except in rare cases, do not become cancerous later. A doctor may feel fairly certain from an exam that a particular lump is a fibroadenoma. The only way to be sure, however, is to remove or biopsy them.
Cysts are fluid-filled sacs that often feel like soft grapes. These can sometimes be tender, especially just before your menstrual period. Cysts may be drained in the doctor's office. If the fluid removed is clear or greenish, and the lump disappears completely after it is drained, no further treatment is needed. If the fluid is bloody, it is sent to the lab to look for cancer cells. If the lump doesn't disappear, or recurs, it is usually removed surgically.
Other causes of breast lumps include:
Milk cysts (sacs filled with milk) and infections ( mastitis ), which may turn into an abscess. These typically occur if you are breastfeeding or have recently given birth.
Breast cancer , detectable by mammogram or ultrasound, then a biopsy. Men can get breast cancer.
Injury -- sometimes if your breast is badly bruised, there will be a collection of blood that feels like a lump. These tend to resolve on their own in a matter of days or weeks. If not, the blood may have to be drained by your doctor.
Lipoma -- a collection of fatty tissue.
Intraductal papilloma -- a small growth inside a milk duct of the breast. Often occurs near the areola, the colored part of the breast surrounding the nipple, in women between the ages of 35 and 55. It is harmless and frequently cannot be felt. In some cases the only symptom is a watery, pink discharge from the nipple. Since a watery or bloody discharge can be seen in cases of breast cancer, this must be evaluated by your doctor.
If you have not had a mammiogram, get one!!!! and if your doc doesn't think you need one switch docs and find someone who will listen to you! This could be something you don't want to ignore...however, with that being said, most lumps are benign (not cancerous), so if you have had all the test run, and they are negative for breast cancer, it could be fibrocystic (sp?) disease of the breast...especially if it is very sore during pms...also it could be an infected or clogged milk duct...if it's fibroids, take vitamin E that helps a lot!

Lump in lower abdomen?
i can feel a elongated lump (i'd say like the size of a mini hotdog) in my lower abdomen on the left side. i'm just wondering about what it could be (i'm going to see the doctor this week, but i'm curious). i have missed my last two periods, but there is no chance i'm pregnant. i even took a pregnancy test to make sure. i have been having abdominal bloating as well. any guesses?
Answer:
I wouldn't even venture to guess. Lumps are nothing to mess with and not guess at. Be sure to keep your appointment with the doctor. Prayers and good luck.
fiberoid tumor maybe

Lower side hurts. Any idea what it could possibly be?
Ok, so hi. This has been going on for about 3 months, give or take. It's not a constant pain, but when it does come around (at least once a day) they are small, sharp pains, mostly on my right lower side, around my hip bone. it mostly hurts after a meal or a snack when my stomach is full, and my belly pokes out from eating. i dont have a fever or anything else, and i went to the doc about it, didnt say much of anything, but said i would have a fever or be sick if it was my appendix.
Answer:
Try WedMD symptoms checker, you can put in all your symptoms and it will tell you what might be wrong
well i was gonna say your appendix but if you went to the doc already then i guess that can't be it. But dont forget that some doctors might miss it, so you might want to go to another doctor to get it checked out again, also i remember that at times i would drink a lot of water a little too much and would feel a sharp pain on my side because of it, so it could be that too, it has to do with your liver, hopefully you'll find out what it is... bye :o)
You are not giving enough info, I am a medical person, help me help you!
kidney
lower back
well im not sure if you drink a lot of sodas but if you do it could be a kidney stone.
Go to the doctor. It might be a bad back pain that you need to get medicine for. Go to the doc.
been to a gyn latley? i've had the same thing. found out i had a cyst on my ovary.
feel better!
poetic
the lower right side of your abdomen contains: appendix, colon, ovary, and part of the uterus.
that said, you need to be evaluated by a physician as there is no one that see into your belly via a computer. you will most likely need a urine and pregnancy test, blood tests, an x-ray, ultrasound, and CT scan.
if your own doctor cannot see you today, visit the ER.
I know it sounds weird, but it may just be gas. Try to get some GasX.
well, if they don't think it's your appendix, it might be an ovarian cyst or something. i get them from time to time and i have the same kind of pains. usually they go away on their own, but sometimes, they have to be removed. i would go see the gyn or call your doctor again if it worsens or continues to be bothersome.
Your preganant darling.....plain and simply your gonna pop out a bundle of joy in 6 months......9 minus the 3 months you've had the pain.
Have you noticed that the pain seems worse after a greasy or rich meal (high in calories like cheescake or something with a lot of cheese?) I had my gallbladder removed a couple of years ago and it was full of stones. Your description sounds absolutely NOTHING like an ovarian cyst ( I had those, too) or pregnancy (Mom to 2 boys). You are your greatest medical assistant. Keep a record of what you eat and the symptoms you experience for a couple of days and bring that to your doctor. If your insurance doesn't require a referral, you might skip a step and go see a specialist in GI.
as soon as you said low pain by the hip bone, it sounds most like an ovarian cyst. that location is where your ovary is. i had the same thing on the right side and freaked thinking it was my appendix, but the doc is right, if it were that you would be feeling a lot sicker and feverish. i didnt automatically go to my gyn because i didnt think it was related, but u have to. he did a pelvic exam, felt around and said it sounded like a cyst (after explaining my symptoms). had an ultrasound and sure enough, i had a couple of small cysts. they stopped hurting after about a month (one had ruptured). but going on for three months is no good. the gyn can diagnose it. .

Lower back pain?
got lower back pain had it quite a few days and its really starting to get to me, it doesnt hurt really bad but its always there if you know what i mean. im 14 and done karate for 4 years but never had a problem before. wat could it be and how can i help it?
Answer:
Impact sports, Karate, running,Kickboxing e.t.c can actually be quite bad for your back if not trained properly, constant stamping feet down hard, not bending and not turning or twisting properly can cause serious problems with your spine, and lower lumber area, you should see your G.P with any back problems. But try not to worry, at your age its probably only a strain or a pulled muscle, mechanical back as the Doc told myself for many years before .
I feel for you, i know what its like to have back pain.
Could be your kidneys - drink plenty of water %26 cranberry juice
If this doesn't help, then use a hot water bottle on it, or get massages.
It could be athritis - see your doctor.
You might just have pulled something. my recommendation would be to go see your doctor. you might just have to rest it for a few days and you'll be right as rain again! pain is your body's way of making you stop for a moment and think about what you're doing.
maybe ur having your period or u ve done a wrong move
You may have a urinary tract infection that has settled in your kidneys. Or you may have pulled something.
you could have strained a mucsel. ibuprofin and rest. heating pad. Try to do this before seeing a doctor as they will ask what you have done and tell you to this and if not better come back. pay 2 bills instead of 1
I studied Kickboxing and have also suffered lower back pain, I was told it was due to pressure put on my pelvis due to kicking etc..
Try seeing a doc or physio if it persists.
I would go and see your doctor but in the mean time drink plenty of water especially boiled water cooled down a bit as that is good for cleaning out your kidneys. Good luck
Go to your GP. xx
the best thing would be to go and see your GP
