This may sound like a bit of a joke but i can assure you i aint laughing. I had uncontrolled angina and was told to take 75mg of aspirin every day and that i would have 2 stents put in within a couple of months off home i go only to end up in A&E the very next day with A severe allergy to Aspirin i was then told I would need a double heart bypass which would mean a major operation, the angina was controlled at last but I had trouble turning my head was in extreme pain when coughing,laughing or sneezing and had to have a second surgery 10 months later to remove the clips and wires to the sternum. this obviously set me back in recovery and i was offered Cardiac recovery therapy in the gym after about 1 month i progressed to the rowing machine and upon my very first go everybody heard 2 amazing loud pops! yes you guessed it torn meniscus in both knees so its back to theatre for meniscal tear repair now i just been to my G.P. and find that i've either got a prostate problem or early onset of diabetes surprising how much this old body can take uh?

Localised sharp parietal left side head pain, I have been experiencing these short lasting but almost debilitating head pains for some time now but just recently I am now being overcome with feelings of nausea, there is no flashing lights and doesn't seem like a migraine and the pain is always in the same place and I'm sure I could actually pinpoint it.

I do not get panic stricken so your candid ideas of what this could be and if i need to seek medical treatment would be most appreciated

well after i had a heart bypass in 2007 i had a pretty rough time, I had to go for second surgery after 10 months as i was still in loads of pain chest wise and could not turn my head.

I was told the sternal wires needed to be removed and after that i still suffered immense back pain coupled with diagnosis of arthritis in both knees.

Up untill the Cabg i was quite busy and had never been off work more than a few weeks so i found being at home boring so much so that i decided to try and go back to work, I just finished my first 6 hour shift which involves standing the whole time and i feel absolutely terrible.

Now i've given up my benefits because i was so determined that i was going to feel better if i had something to do but OMG I'm regretting it already how can i possibly get out of this horrendous nightmare.

I'm a 60 year old guy feeling close to breakdown right now.

Any Good Sound Advice PLEASE HELP!

I have had this cyst for about 12 years or more but within the last year the amount of semen at the time of ejaculation is minimal and sometimes none at all, I am a male of 59 years and am also taking a lot of different medications for C.D.H.

It does feel like there is a blockage at the point of ejaculation and i am not sure if it is the cyst or the meds, my sex drive has declined also.

I'm not sure if I am turning into a hypochondriac, but I have had a very varied medical history from the age of 4 years old, I am now 59 I have had a spinal fusion of L4 & L5 which kept me in hospital for over 14 months due to a trapped & damaged sciatic nerve this was over 25 years ago and most of the time i just have the odd twinge now & again but I have also had three major episodes of prolapsed disc L3. I had a bowel resection when i was just 20 years old due to Mekels diverticulitis and just 3 years ago I had a double heart bypass and since then have been in constant pain with my chest, back & knees.

I have been back & forth to my G.P. and the hospital but feel like so many others that i am being fobbed off due to lack of N.H.S. funding.

All i am given is multiple types of pain killers which do help a little but make me so tired and lethargic that my quality of life is absolutely aweful.

Also painkillers are deffinitely not the answer to my long term problems.

I have got to the stage where I feel its just a waste of time going to my G.P. and i am sure she is sick of the site of me but sometimes its just out of sheer desperation.

My personality has changed considerably these last few months i used to be such an easy going person, too easy going some would say but now i am short tempered fractious and verbally agressive its just getting me down so much. ANY MIRACLE WORKERS OUT THERE? :-(

My mother is an 87 year old and has been very unwell for the last 20 or more years, but recently her illness has taken a turn for the worse especially from a mental point of view.

I always considered myself to be a good loving son and visited frequently and even daily visiting when she was in hospital.

Now just recently she had about 4 grand mal seizures 1 after the other and I believe that there must have been a certain amount of brain damage it took ages before she even recognised me and her confusion was unending.

She used to say things that had never occurued like she was making up a story, Allpart of the seizures and vrain trauma caused i know.

Now my problem is that she lied through her teeth just to get out of hospital and when i showed my concern for her safety and welfare she FLEW AT ME! she tried to hit me and pushed me and all i done was defended myself i blocked her slaps to my head and just put my hands on her shoulders and ok to some extent forcibly pushed her down into her chair.

She then ordered me out of her house and proceded to tell the whole family and anybody else that would listen to her that i had beaten her up, I am a 17 stone 61 1" large boned man and if I had lost my temper in any way physically then it doesnt bear thinking what state she would be in, but not a mark on her!

Not satisfied with the claims of assault she then told everyone that both myself and my wife had stolen money from her and kept pestering her for money.

I will say that on occasions like most good mothers she would give money to me which i often refused but she would get upset and so i accepted in what i thought was good faith with an open heart.

I myself had a heart bypass in 2007 and further chest surgery in the same year for sternal wire removal and have since that time been medically retired.

I dont want to sound like the big hero son but i do have a brother who lives about 5 hours drive away but hardly ever took the time to assist in his responsibilities toward his mother and i USED to do everything i could for her willingly without thought of payment but after all her lies and decietfulness even though i Know she is mentally incapcitated I just cannot bring myself to EVER even consider forgiving her. Even though this is driving me mad.

what would you do?

just over 4 years ago I had a double heart bypass and just 10 months after i had to go back to have the sternal wires removed as i was experiencing a lot of pain and had limited movement in my neck.

Since that time I have had so many other ailments its been impossible for me to return to work, I am not a skiver and have always been a very active and outdoor person until I had the CABG.

Since that time i have been diagnosed as having sleep aponea, arthritis in both knees, high blood pressure, arythmia's and now to top it all I have meralgia paraesthetica which is normally caused by a trapped nerve or pressure on that nerve in the lumbar region, I had a spinal fusion of L4 & L5 some 30 odd years ago so think its quite possible its adhesions.

Now surprisingly enough I dont feel depressed but i do keep getting these horrible doubts that my G.P. is missing something quite serious I dont know what although I sometimes feel that my life is very close to the end and because of all the problems i've had I cannot help thinking it will either be a fatal heart attack or a stroke.

I wish i could stop these horrid morbid thoughts but they are with me most days.

Answers not necessarily required but thanks for listening.

i only noticed this a couple of days ago but i have lost touch sensation in my right thigh any medics out there with any ideas?
