You use it like a heating pad. I'm not sure what you use as the filling. I heard rice but don't know if that will work. If you think you know please tell me. Thanks.

My husband's late sister had it, and we are no expecting our first child. Is it genetic? What are the chances my child is in danger?

This is a highly politicial question, and I don't want your opinion, I want facts. Do not render an un-supported opinion. Drug companies in the US are awarded patents for producing new drugs. Patents are little time-limited monoplies, allowing those companies to charge high prices. But in this age of the internet, over-seas drug companies (in Canada) are making "generics" of those new drugs. When I asked my doctor about it, he called them "counterfit" and discouraged my buying them. Yet I'm highly suspicous. I have strong doubts that our friends in India specifically, have done anything less than simply doing a chemical analysis of the drug, copy it 100%, and produce it in a quality that is at least the quality of the US producer. They can do this because they don't need to worry about US patents.

This Sunday, i was picking up some batteries from under the bed on the floor. When I got up, however my left kneebone twisted and dislocated out of my socket and was dislocated for 30 seconds. Although I was able to pop my knee back in place, It was very painful and I remember screaming from the top of my lungs and lying on the floor in agony. Can walk on it fine but my limbs still hurt. I want to know how I can prevent this from happen again. Can you help? I'm only 20, why am I going through this!

I have DDD in my neck which makes my arms and hands numd and a herniated disc in the L4-L5 region. That has been since Aug 2006. I have been on pain meds all this time. When I went to see my new Pain Management Dr. he said I will never get better and the shot I will recieve in my low back probably won't work. He gave me even stronger meds and all I said to him is my whole body seems to be going numb and I can either feel my neck pain or low back but not at the same time. He said I cannot lift, twist, or garden. Not gardening is going to be the hardest. I have 2 pain meds and 2 nerve pain meds. I can barley function on all this, should I go on disability? And any other advice would be helpful too. Thank you.

Im a male and im already thinking of taking it again for the third time. The previous doctor told me that there is a 20% chance of failure and have to take it again. The first time I took it was 6 years ago. IT cured me but it came back a year and a half later. And it came back pretty bad as well. Then the second time I took it really cured me. Until now which is a 4 year time lapse since I took it. Although this time was not as bad as previous one, but I noticed that its getting worst and it could get worst if I dont control what I eat. So doctors,Im taking some medication but its not helping much., It got better but still not as effective as accutane would have. I mean I have to be very strict on what I eat yet it still comes out every now and then. I want to take the accutane again!
Although I know some of the potential consequences, I'm concern about any possible long term effect of taking this medication. Is there any long term effect? And should I consider taking it again?

Does anyone out there have a good training program for eventually running a 10 mile race in August. A little about myself:
-I am a 25 year old, 200lb., male
-I am not built to be a runner, I am pretty top heavy from lifting weights the past 5-6 years and not training my legs as much as I should.
-3 summers ago I completed 6, 5k road races with my best time being 22:14
- I have tried to make up my own little training programs the past few summers but always end up getting really bad shin splints, and minor knee aches every once in awhile
- Right now I can barely run a mile and a half without stopping. I have put on about 5-7 pounds over the last 3 months due to a high ankle sprain suffered playing football, and am just overall out of shape

I need program that will gradually work me into shape and allow me to run in this 10 mile race that caps off the summer. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had two upper widsom teeth pulled on Thursday and have had no problems up to now. After eating tonight my right gum area where the tooth was removed feels different. I cannot really see back there to see if the clot fell out or not. Is there a way to tell if you have developed dry socket, or is this even likely 5 days after extraction?
