I've been having on-and-off chest pain for about two years. I'm currently 18. When I first started having them, I went to the ER a couple times, but apparently chest pain in minors insn't taken so seriously, so I was sent home with tylenol or antacids. Saw a cardiologist, GI doc, GP. Had an EKG, stress test. Everyone told me it was probably anxiety.

So, it comes and goes, and recently it's coming again, and it's quite uncomfortable. Just sharp, to the slight left of my breastbone, fairly often, with no correlation to any habits (eating, exercise, laying down). I don't know what to do. It isn't so much the pain that bothers me (I'm used to it), but whatever it could signify.

Has anyone had any similar experiences?

It's been 4 weeks since I had ORIF (open reduction internal fixation) on my ankle. I am still not putting weight on it and still have a cast, my question is, I still have swelling off and on, sometimes when my leg gets warm it tends to swell and make the cast tight, or when the leg is hanging down, which I don't do very much, but even if I am sitting and my leg is elevated at times it swells. I don't believe it is inflammation that is causing this. The ankle is sore, feels more like a bruised feeling, and that is off and on as well. Any suggestions as to why my leg is swelling? I am headed to the doctor tomorrow but still feel pain, I thought maybe she would xray it and possibly put a boot on and remove the cast, but I don't want to injure it again. Any suggestions or answers. Thanks.

The first shower in the morning is barely lukewarm. Recovery is fine after the first usage in the morning with water reaching the desired temperature quickly. Pilot and burner appears normal. Temperature valve is set fairly high and water registers 128 degrees. Water heater is in a heated garage. Problem has been getting worse over last few months. I have replaced the dip tube and drained much of the water out which was surprisingly clean. Water heater is 7 years old. Clerk at Home Depot suggested replacing the thermocoupler, but the standing pilot seems to run just fine so I question that idea. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Some India-based tech companies have VOIP phone lines and can receive and make phone calls to the US like its' a local call. Can they use this same service to call and vote for American Idol's Shinjaya Malakai?

People on here have said that is unscriptual and now I don't feel quite right about it. I used to feel close to God when I prayed but now I'm feeling "guilty". Why or why not is praying to the Holy Spirit wrong?

Once again, I am not trying to bash these religions, I only seek answers. I am curious as to, specifically, what magick is used for, what it looks like, types of magick, etc. because I have only seen "magic" in videogames. Can someone please explain about it in reality?

for those of you who seen Drake's I got spanked!!!!! Listen people parents need/HAVE to be in control at all times!!!! the fact that this boy has such an anger problems indicates to me that someone else in his family also does...most the time kids learn that somewhere...if he didn't learn it from his parents then maybe something more is going on at school....telling him he was what he deserved and such is NOT gonna help him to calm down at this point! this family needs help ALL of them...it shows me that at least the day has a probelm keeping control of his anger to.....

when you 'displine' a child cuz it makes you feel better...well that's when it becomes ABUSE!!!!!!!

I have huge problem with some foriegnors that come to the U.S. They come here want our freedoms but don't respect our laws or our citizens. They want us to learn their language instead of learning ours. They want us to cater to their beliefs and their religions but, they complain about ours. DAMN IT their in our country. LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT! If they want all that get the HECK OUT!!!! What do you think?
