Health - 30 November 2006

I have had a cold for a few days now and I think it is time to see a doc. My symptoms are sore, scratchy throat, stuffy, runny nose, sneezing, achy body and just recently a cough to kill...I sound like I'm hacking up a lung, LITERALLY! What kind of meds do you think a doctor will prescribe me for such symptoms? Answers from actual doctors would be nice but any answer is much appreciated.

I had a root canal today because one of my molars had a cavity. It was filled and then became very sensitive to cold and pressure. It was filled and refilled 4 times. It was to the point that anything I drank had to be room temp, and that even bothered me. So I had a root canal, and I had a drink today and it still is sensitive to temp. Is it normal for the tooth to be sensitive even after the nerve is out? I thought that the root canal would make the tooth "dead". Anyways I guess my question is, does anybody know if after a root canal if it is normal for the tooth to be temp sensitive and does it go away? HELP!

I would really like to participate with my family when they go ice skating but my feet go through excruciating pain after only a couple of minutes of wearing my skates. Besides the classic ladies skate I have tried, mens skates (arches in the wrong spot) and purchased an expensive ladies boot style skate. I've tried different socks etc. but no matter what after just a few minutes in the skate it's like my entire foot goes into a muscle cramp! Does anyone else have this experience? I have a friend who says her feet get cramped after about an hour but she says she is able to just skate it off. In my case the pain is so intense I just have to get the skate off quickly and massage my arches to get my foot flexible again...
can anyone help?
thanks!

I have scoliosis...28degree curve and I've had it since i was 14. I have not had the surgery..I just gave birth to my first daughter a few months ago and all went pretty good. I had her vaginaly and i was ok. My back pain has been worse since i had her and that makes me hesitant to try my luck again on a second child. i dont have medical insurance so i cant have a doctor evaluate me right now. I just want to know of anyone else who has had children in spite of thier scoliosis and how it affected them physically. Also, any professionals that have any experiences like htis .

Okay, I'm a 16 year old girl. I'm balancing going to 2 different schools, an alcholic mother, failing classes, having rumors spread about me, I have no social life and everything is expected to be great with me from my grandparents. I think I may be suffering from clinical depression. There is a history of it in my family. I can't hardly sleep, I zone out alot, have a loss of concentration, and I have very bad mood swings and constant headaches. If I tell my grandma, I don't think she'll take me seriously. What should I do? I don't trust anyone else but her.

For the last few months i keep getting some really nasty bruising and today i have a really large one on the inside of my arm. I have seen my family doctor & she tells me i may be bumping into things & not remembering it. Okay I think i would remember hitting myself that hard. This bruise is bigger than the palm of my hand the bruise is red & almost looks like a stringy design...What could this be? My family doctor is no help so i wont even ask her again.
