Health - 17 February 2007

well i had earlier posted a question saying i was terrified about a dental surgery that i had to go through...well....it wasnt that bad.
but anyway.....they told me they were going to numb my mouth after i was "put under" and they did. but the surgery was like almost a week ago now (5 days) and the left side of my mouth is still numb.
it's like from the middle of my bottom lip to the corner of my mouth on the left. it also feels like theres tons on pressure on my teeth in that area, and they are numb too.
i called the doctor and he said to "give it a couple days"
this numbness is really annoying me. it's making it hard to chew food and it makes me feel like i have a "fat lip"
is this normal for it to be numb this long after surgery?
is there a way to make the feeling come back or something i can do?
any help would be appreciated
thanks

After x-rays revealed nothing wrong, my one-month-long constant and dull pain in my molar remained unexplained. My dentist said some teeth cause pain for no reason, even though there's absolutely nothing wrong with the teeth. He said he'll pull the tooth if I ask him to. I'm still undecided.

I lost 33 lbs on Weight Watchers a few years ago and haven't gained it back (woo hoo!). I have 39 lbs to go but am sick of corporate diets. I want to just eat right and exercise. This seems so simple and it seems no one wants to do it - but isn't it the most effective way to lose weight permanently?

I caught bronchitis most recently and got over it. Now my friend has a cold! Is there a way to avoid this getting colds in general? I use lots of hand sanitizer to kill germs and I try to stay away from people with a cold/flu but it's hard!

I had 2 tbs olive oil and about 6 oz of water yesterday to help things move a bit more smoothly, first time I've tried this method. This morning I noticed some mucous on the stool and I was just wondering if this could be caused by the oil. I never noticed it before that. I don't believe I have IBS as I rarely have diarrhea. The other one I'm concernced about is an obstruction, however I don't have severe pain or cramps, loss of appetite, naseau or vomiting.


(I know this is no way to obtain a medical opinion, I would just like some input, if anyone has experienced this before.)
