About 3 months ago, I had my impacted wisdom teeth out, as well as a dental implant put in, during the same surgery. The strange thing is that the facial swelling went away after a week, which was expected, but it came back! I'm not sure exactly when, maybe a week or two after it went away. Now it's almost 3 months after the operation and my face is still noticeably swollen.

I talked to my dentist about it, who at first didn't see me but just phoned in a prescription for an antibiotic (he thought it must have been an infection) which I took, but which didn't help. After an appointment with him, he said he was confused because there was no sign of infection at all, and that he wasn't sure why I had the swelling. Later, I saw another dentist who said that the swelling was normal and that I just had to wait for it to go away.

I'm confused... Is it really normal to have swelling 3 months after wisdom teeth surgery? Could it be something else? Is there a way to reduce the swelling?

Ok, first let me say some pepole call me nuts and some pepole call be crazy. Any ways, for the last four years my mom has put me down in ways some pepole would think were not possible. Ive gotten told that im not going to amount to nothing just like my dad, ive gotten told that i was nuts and i would be better off in a nuts house, ive gotten told i was a b itch, and theres alot more and this isall coming out of my moms mouth. I do admit that i dont do anything around the house and i dont ever feel like doing anything. I feel like this is considered emotional abuse even though i dont do anything aorund the house. She put me on 2 different medications and neither one of them worked.. and she gets mad whenever i try to talk to her.. i know i should be telling a counsiler or pshyciitrist {sp} but then the counsiler allways trys to bring her in to talk to us both but she lies in front of there faces... and now she refueses to go back in with me because they told her she was part more below

I always feel bloated! I'm so tired of it! Today I was feeling bloated after I ate some grilled chicken, steamed broccoli and yams; could that have been what made me bloated? I don't know. Sometimes my body is able to "pass it" and sometimes it can't, it's worse when I can't "pass it". It's very uncomfortable and it takes a toll on my self-esteem when I look like I'm pregnant or have a beer belly. I tried eliminating processed foods and salt from my diet, but I still feel bloated. Does anyone know where I can get more information on this? I saw a doctor about it and she said to eliminate dairy from my diet, I have and I'm still bloated! I don't know what else to do. I'm trying to find a list of high sodium foods to avoid, but I can't find any. Or maybe it's something else, I don't know. I used to take those gas-x pills and that didn't work at all. Does anyone have any suggestions?

He used to suck his thumb so his teeth aren't as straight as they should be. I have a pretty good job so I want to get them while I can afford it.

If there is anyone who knows please tell me why Canadians/Americans are so afraid of spoiled milk. As far as I know all that happens is milk bacteria grows and those clumps that you get is almost like sour cream without all the chemicals to add nice texture.

Simply out of curiosity, this question is for those already aware of this website. I wonder how many people view the doctor who runs this web site as a non-biased, informative source of information. I have my own personal view of the matter. However, I'm quite flabergasted (if that's even how you spell the word) that anyone would think he was a "neutral authority." I acknowledge he does provide some documented evidence to support some of what he says. However, he leaves huge chunks of information missing, makes interpretations regarding that partial information and mocks those who disagree with him. What are your thoughts?

Please note, I'm not asking your opinions regarding whether you "believe" in holistic health philosophy or if you instead "believe" in allopathic health philosophy, though you're welcome to include this in your answer. But what I'm really interested in is whether you consider this man objective or biased?

Ever since I was a little boy (may be 9 ten 12)I exactly don't remember now. But one thing I do remember is 100 percent sure which I still remember today. Is it me or there are other men obsessed with women's breasts. When I was little boy, I used to go to see television in our neighbours house whenever there was a good program such as Robinhood, Bionic women, the men from UNCLE etc. One such evening I went there but there was no place to sit so the house lady asked me to stand in the corner but I could still see tv. While I was watching tv, I noticed that the women (may be 25yrs or 30 yrs)old opened her one side of the blouse and started breast feeding the baby. She noticed that I was watching tv whereas I was watching exactly her breasts as she was sitting on a bed facing the tv from another angle. After sometime, she opened her other breast and moved baby towards it. To my curiousity even today I don't understand this. Her both breasts were as hard and erect as a young girl.

My boyfriend was eating and he got something stuck in his throat.. and it's not going down. He can breathe and talk just fine, it's just uncomfortable for him and it hurts every once in a while. It's been like this for probably 2 hours now. He feels like it's getting better and everything.. but.. it's still not gone. He's been throwing up every 5-10mins or so... mostly mucus.. He says it feels like it's just producing a lot of mucus where the food is stuck in his throat.. What could this be?? (DONT say go to a doctor..if he feels it's THAT bad and necessary, he will.)

I haave been on Paxil CR for the past 3 yrs. to help mask my panic disorder. It has worked well, but I feel the need to wean off and see if I can learn to cope on my own. I know to wean slowly,and I have studied the websites with advice, but these sites only mention Paxil not Paxil CR,(controlled release) which comes in different mg's. I did speak to my doctor, but she was not helpful in my attempt to wean slowly. She just wrote me a rx for half the dose I normally take. I do not have insurance so it is hard for me to save enough money to see another doctor for different advice. Can any one help me to wean slowly without cutting the pills,(they crumble)? Has anyone weaned from PaxilCR? How did it go?
