For the past year, ive suffered with sharp shooting pains in my pelvis, and a sciatic like pain down my left buttock and leg. I frequently get pains in my lower back, and it always seem very tender and sore. My doctor told me i had sciatica in my left leg, and that it would go after 3 or 4 weeks on its own, but it hasnt, and im starting to think my symptoms are maybe that of a cyst/cysts on my ovary.

Both NASH and NAFLD are becoming more common, possibly because of the greater number of Americans with obesity. In the past 10 years, the rate of obesity has doubled in adults and tripled in children. Obesity also contributes to diabetes and high blood cholesterol, which can further complicate the health of someone with NASH. Diabetes and high blood cholesterol are also becoming more common among Americans.
If it is fatty liver changes, there is an entity called Non alcoholic fatty liver disease, which is due to obesity, diabetes and high triglyceride levels. This can progress to cirrhosis of the liver and can be associated with hepatocellular carcinoma. So, prevention or cure is by treating diabetes, obesity and high triglyceride levels.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Agree and the problem is getting worse and worse. Kids need to be out playing instead of sitting in front of video games developing diabetes for example.
New York City just lowered not only its fat allowances in food but also now salt. Which is sad cause what is NYC without a salt pretzel and hot dog from the corner vendor.

This is one of those presentations in which one needs to possibly watch it a few times to catch more, but one of the I believe that the message is that we are eating more and more sugar; they are putting it in everything. Yes, in bread, it is in my canned tomatoes, etc. So #1 we are facing a higher intake of sugar than EVER before.
#2.... and this would be in CAPS, that HFCS.....High Fructose Corn Syrup if radically different than regular sugars.
Hi. I'm 32 weeks pregnant today and I went to the Dr this morning and she found sugar in my urine. Said I have to take a 3 hour glucose test now and then we'll go from there. Has anybody dealt with diabetes during pregnancy or in the same boat as me? It has me stressed would like to hear some stories!
Exercise helps people with diabetes keep their blood sugar in good control and within a normal range. Glucose is used while exercising, which would lower the blood sugar level, not raise it. If you are predisposed to developing type 1 diabetes, no amount of exercise will change this. On the other hand, type 2 diabetes is linked with obesity, and exercise would definitely help with the prevention of that type.
Your risk of heart disease depends on many things -- age, family history, tobacco use, and other medical conditions (diabetes, hypertension, obesity, high cholesterol, etc). If you have risk factors and are worried, it wouldn't be unreasonable to have a stress test, just to make sure the pains aren't coming from your heart.
It sounds like you are suffering from Acanthosis nigricans. It is a condition when too much insulin spills over into the skin causing a dark brown (bruise-like/dirt like) patch on the skin. It is common in the areas you mentioned. It is closely tied with obesity and diabetes. I have a family history of diabetes (I don't have it), but I did have a dark brown patch under my arms. I began to exercise and eat healthy and some of the patches have disappeared.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition in which a man has difficulty getting or maintaining an erection. It can be caused by physical or emotional problems. Physical problems include heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure. Emotional problems include stress, anxiety, and depression.
If you are experiencing ED symptoms, see your doctor right away for diagnosis and treatment options.
