Health - 17 March 2007

For the past month, I have been getting random bouts of leg cramps in my one calf. It usually happens while my leg is bent at the knee for long periods of time (sleeping, school, etc.) and when I try to extend the leg, I cannot move it without excrusiating pain. It looks no different, but the pain lasts for at least an hour and a half. I also exercise for about two hours a day, so my calfs are in really good condition. Why is this happening? Is there anything I can do to prevent it?

...it fell off while eating some, yeah you guessed it, candy. Now a few weeks later it has fallen out again and just doesnt seem to stay on. I cannot afford to get to my dentist right now and it may be a few weeks before I can. The post, or what ever its called that holds the crown in place looks terrible. I want to know it there is anything out there that will hold it in place for a week or two until I can afford to see my dentist. PLEASE no replied about just use my benefits, they are maxed for the year already. Thank you all in advance.

Chest pains in left side of chest when laying down, especially when lying on my left side?
I've had this problem since I was a child. Lying on my left side causes a major pain in my left side, pain stops me from breathing deep; makes me unable to move. It eventually goes away, the longest it's ever lasted is about an hour.

When I was in college I went to the ER after a major episode and they told me it had nothing to do with heart...any ideas what it might be?

Additional Details

I should also add that I'm 5'10 165lbs, and I run for 30 min 5 times a week. Didn't want to give you the idea that I was some fat, fast foot eating couch potatoe.

My doctor gave me vicodin for my chronic abdominal pain (ulcer, gastroparesis and adhesions) and I've never really taken much of it (it took me a year to use 30 pills). But this past week I've taken it every night, not only because of my stomach hurting but because I've wanted to go to sleep. I don't crave vicodin except for when I want to go to bed at night. Am I getting addicted to it? I'm only taking 10mg once a day so that isn't too bad right?

I'm about 5'3" and weigh 150 pounds. I need to lose about 25 pounds in about 2 months. I have trouble sticking to diets because i'm always bored and i eat when i'm bored. Sometimes i notice that i'm doing that, but i can't stop. Can anyone recommend a diet that WILL NOT make my stomach growl in school because that's really embarrassing. Also, i need to mostly lose weight in my thigh, stomach, calves, and i have flabby upper arms. Plus, I can't really exercise outside because it's cold and we just had the nor'eastern storm and got 9 inches here and it's cold. And i get really paranoid and think people are laughing at me or making fun of me when they see me excerising. Can someone please help me? Thank you.

On most boxes or products purchased at the grocery store, in the list for things like calories and fiber and sugars and carbohydrates, they many times list "OTHER" carbohydrates. Does anyone know what those " other " carbohydrates are.?
This would be really interesting if these "other" carbo's are the same ones found in the list for the "first list" of carbohydrates.
It seems a little sneaky that there should be two listings for carbo's.
Can anyone answer this little delima. We should all know what "all" carbo's are, and they should be listed seperately with proper names just like everything else.

What do you say out there.?
