Health - 14 October 2006

I have arthritis all over, bursitis and rheumatoid factor is positive.
I signed up for a health club to get some weight off and get back into shape (had a car accident last year and it messed me up so my neck hurts everyday). The treadmill is ok, but the other day on the stationary bike my knees got so painfuul i had to stop after 5 min (i was able to do 30 min before). So I tried the Arctrainer (elliptical machine?) and if i put it on manual and keep my legs straight, i can go at a pretty good clip. what other machines or exercises can i do with painful knees? I am 45 and a woman w/hypertension (another reason to workout).

I cannot figure this out. If a woman has problems with her bra she fixes it beacause it is not comfortable, but when a man is sitting on his junk or it is bent in an awkward position that cause discomfort we get scorned for fixing the problem.

If this is a problem for you could you please tell us guy how to do this without having to quit what we are doing to do it. Understand this pain can literally make it so you can not breath just like being kicked in the groin.

I am a 50 year old disabled man, born in Scotland and moved to England when I was 21. I am a big guy, a big softy and a big sentimental guy with a heart for others in need. I keep on seeing and hearing of lots of class reunions all over the UK, I see a lot in my local papers and the locals in Scotland when I go up to visit my mum. If ever I see or hear of a class reunion from my school year etc where an appeal goes out for past pupils to come back and visit their old school chums, even now I am an adult of 50 years, I still feel saddened to the way I was treated from the other kids right from when I first started school, I was bullied non stop up until I left school. I have no happy memories at all and never had a single friend. I was overweight and when during pe I was always left out when teams were picked, in secondary school I was always shoved into a room at the back by the teatcher and had to dubb the balls. At playtimes I always walked alone and got bullied

I had my wisdom teeth extracted on Thursday (Oct. 12). Its been more than 48 hours. My cheeks are all stitched up, it feels like the stitches are pinching my flesh. The sockets don't hurt, but my cheeks are swollen and very stiff. I feel like I am chewing on the insides of my cheeks. I feel like there are rocks in my cheeks. My oral surgeon gave me a perscription for 800 mg. Motrin and an oral rinse. I went thru the first bottle of 15 pills already. I'm not bleeding anymore, but my entire jaw just ACHES! Will it ever go away? I'm so tired of feeling lousy, I just want to enjoy the TIGERS in the ALCS.

I don't ever want to have this done again! LOL

How long will I suffer like this???

Heres my problem: I'm going to Knott's Scary Farm tonight, and I'm going to be there until 2 am; which means I would be wearing my contacts for 15 hours.

Is 15 hours too long to wear them? Will the fog in the mazes upset my eyes? Should I take out my contacts, even though I prefer wearing them?

I am 5'7" and turning thirty this month. I gained this weight after four pregnacies over the last nine years. I noticed the weight set in after the C-section and the miscarraige. Most of my weight went to my stomach making me look like I am pregnate most of the time. I was in the military and physically fit before the pregnacies especially my abs! Why do I look like I am still pregnate afterward. Is it possible to lose the weight in this specific place? I assume I need a tummy tuck to rid my self of the excess weight on my stomach. It is very uncomfortable and ugly to carry around this much weight in this area. It hate wearing jeans b/c they never fit right and are very uncomfortable across my stomach. Help!!!!

I find it so odd - when I was growing up, applicators were like "training tampons". Are american women challenged in some way the rest of us don't know about?
