my wife had had root canal work done long ago on her 6 upper front teeth. Apparently, the root canal work was not done all the way to the tip. Partial fills. The way It was explained to me is that the bone surrounding the roots has an active infection. They are planning to do an apicoectomy. They open the gum tissue near the teeth to expose the underlying bone and to remove any inflamed or infected tissue. the very end of the roots are also removed. A small filling may be placed to seal the end of the root canal. They then explained that they put a substance in the hole where the infected bone was removed. This substance acts as a catalyst for bone growth to fill the hole. Sorry if this isn't too technical, but the booklet and paperwork don't give too many specifics about this portion of the treatment. There is something called a "Retrograde Fill", "Bone replacement graft", and of course, the "Apicoectome-anterior". They said that they would start her on an antibiotic as well.

I would like to lose about a stone and a half, although I am in no great hurry to do this, so can do so sensibly.

I lost weight before using the weight watchers points diet, but I know a bit more now in terms of calorie counting, and I know that if I want to lose weight, I should aim to eat around 1500 cals per day.

I think I may get easily confused if I was trying to count using both methods, so which do you find a more effective way of losing weight? Are any of them more restricting than the other? If I was to follow the weight watchers plan, I am allowed 20 points per day.

I've been tentatively diagnosed with some form of inflammatory arthritis. It started in my foot, and moved to my knee. I've had 2 MRIs, a bone scan, and Xrays and they are saying arthritis.
I've also had alot of bloodwork and everything looks normal except for my sed rate which is significantly elevated.

I am seeing a rheumatologist. At my 1st appointment she put me on 10mg of prednisone a day. She acted like I would feel a difference right away. After a week with no relief I went back to see a physician's assistant. She doubled my dose of prednisone so now I am on 20mg a day. She said it should make me feel at least 50% better. The problem is that my knee is incredibly swollen and sore in the morning and evening. She didnt say that the prednisone would take care of all the swelling, but it sounded like it should help with the swelling and with the pain.
Its 1.5 weeks later and my knee is still huge and sore. The soreness I can deal with, aleve helps. I want a normal sized knee!

My uncle is dying. He has cancer and he has exausted every means of help for medical expenses. The government has even taken his tax check from him because of medical expenses. His house is in foreclosure because he was going to catch up with his tax check. He even received a letter from the senator, saying that there is no more help for him in the system. After all the chemo, it killed the cancer off. Well now he has a cancer on his liver and he would need more chemo to kill that and prolong his life. Does anyone know of any NON-Government agency that would help even if it was just to pay for his house so he dont lose it? Does anyone know of anywhere I could direct him to go?

I think it may be hard to keep clean. Im worried that now that I have tooth 29 about to be extracted that adding a bridge will be much harder to take care of. Tooth 28, 29, 30 all have or had crowns. 29 needed a root canal retreat. Now the dr wants to pull it out since there isnt much tooth left. I get cleanings I brush and floss but keep having issues with my teeth.. with all the trouble im afraid a bridge will be alot of trouble and need help in knowing what is the best way to take care of it and what can i expect?

i've always thought that eating before bed is a bad thing, but recently they say that eating good carbs before bed releases seratonin and is actually good for you.
which one do i believe?!
