Health - 10 November 2006

I am about to have knee replacement surgery 12-19. Please let me know what you went through with recovery.

I am already aware of the pain, buising, and PT.

Please be specific on how long you were hospitalized, how long you had to stay in bed before the doctore told you to start moving. Advice on bathing around the incision. Trips to the bathroom?

Thanks for all of your helpful input.

I was born with coffee dark armpit skin & the rest of my body is as white as milk. So even when I wax my armpit hair, my armpit still look like it's hairy from far away because it's so dark. This is the reason I can't stretch my arms and where tanks to go outside =[ Does anybody know any product I can use to make my skin lighter but in a safe way?

i usaully act quiet, Sometimes i can just laugh outta nowhere for no reason and do it for 5 mins, other times i dont find anything funny, just annoying and stupid. I have crazy ideas at times from no where, and people find this random and funny from me cause they dont see me acting like that.

My husband had a blood chem check last oct and had a CPK of 167. This nov, he had another check and the result was 600+! What caused its sudden increase? Can it still be brought down to normal figures? Was anything damaged in his heart? I'm really bothered. Thanks in advance

I hope this is an acceptible question. My girlfriend can and does orgasm frequently through intercourse or other forms of stimulation, but as far as I can tell has never ejaculated. From what I understand it is the byproduct of more intense orgasms, and frankly I'd like to give her that. So my question is, does anyone know if some women just can't do it, or have tips to methods that might prove more successful than my attempts thus far?

I went to my ob this past tuesday due to what I thought was a UTI. NP confirmed UTI and prescribed Keflex. After day 3 Keflex STILL hadn't kicked in and pain was SO intense I asked for something stronger so they prescribed Levaquin and Pyridium for the pain. Took both at 10:30a on Thursday and by 3:30p still no pain relief. Called pharmacist who said I should be having SOME relief due to the pyridium. Went to Er where they did a bunch of blood work that came back ok, pelvic exam that came back ok. They did however say there is 'a lot' of blood in my urine. They also said there is some sort of fluid that I'm leaking but they don't know from where so they took a culture that takes a few days. I'm on my second day of a 3 day dosage of Levaquin and have exhausted the pyridium and there is STILL intense pain when I urinate. Am I being impatient or have I possibly been misdiagnosed. Shouldn't the symptoms at least be all gone? Am I being impatient? Help

My sister's heels are cracked on the outside heel of each foot. She has tried several remendies. They become painful and some people have tried crazy glue to seal them up and get rid of the pain. I'm suspicious about this, but she says it works.

She buffs them and puts the proper medication on them, but still has a problem healing them.

Does anyone know what causes this and what to do about it?

My sister died about 9 yrs ago. before she passed, she talked of having children (having a little boy first), buying a house and getting married. She achieved 1 of those goals. Getting married. She was married for 6 months before dying due to an epileptic seizure and passing while in her sleep. I have done all that she wanted to do, including contributing to charities in hopes of one day, being able to find the exact cause and treating the disease. I would like to know what you think would be an honorable way to keep someone's memory alive.
