Health - 27 March 2007

I sprained my ankle quite bad several months ago - before winter started. I didn't go see a doctor because I dont have insurance right now, but my ankle is still somewhat swollen, and although I have free range of motion and can stand and walk, there is pain when i move it suddenly or sit with my legs crossed for too long. I am mostly concerned about the swelling. Should I go see a doctor or just shrug it off as i have been doing?

hate getting their period? I've had mine for about a year and I dread when I get it every month. Who else feels like this? Also will I get used to it where I don't really mind when the time of month comes around or will I always dread it?

I'm 12 years old, and I started my period last November. There was alot of blood that month, as I've heard was unusual, but then I had hardly anything in December, and nothing since. I've already heard that it's okay to miss periods when you first start (right?). How long is it normal to be continuously missing them before I should go to an adult? I need to know the longest span of time, because I have comfortability issues about speaking to my mom about it, and I'm really freaking out! I have never had sexual activity or unsanitary contact. Pleeeeeeeeeeease help! Thanks...

I am 13 years old and whenever I try to insert a tampon it goes in about 2 centimeters but then it hurts so I take it out and just use a pad instead. I have tried this many times and it never seems to work. Also, I have asked other girls my age and most of them said that they've inserted one successfully and the rest I don't think have ever tried. So I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or if there's something wrong with me.

I have a 4 years old niece. She has been sucking her thumb forever now. She does not seem to be getting rid of this habit despite of all our efforts and methods. As a result of this her teeth have started protruding outwards as well as the frontal gum area is also getting disfigured. Any help/suggestion in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

My left ball is much bigger than my right one. It is almost as big as a walnut and my right one is pretty big also, but the left one is way bigger. I have no pain, I feel fine, and I am 15, but I am still worried that it could be cancer. Could it be cancer?

I was just prescribed Ambien 10mg. All I keep hearing are horror stories about people taking them. Are they an okay pill to take? Does everyone who take them sleep walk, sleep eat, drive and have sex without knowing it????? I have taking them before about a year ago and had no problems like that. Will I now??? I'm a bit nervous.

My mother is experiencing a toothache, that is causing severe, intense migrains. We went to the E.R. & took 2 MRI's & alot of x-rays. The toothache was found to be a tooth infection that was caused by a root canal post that is turned sideways from dental work that was performed 7 years ago. The tooth is tooth # 12. The Post is turned sideways presumingly by neglect to treatment. The doctor appointed us to a Surgical dentist that wants to perform emergency surgery. My mother says her left legs & her back, is really starting to bother her. Can the infection be spreading?
Since they want to perform surgery to remove the post, they want to give her novacaine to relieve the pain before surgery. BUT wont novacaine affect the brain from the nerve that he will inject it into?
Understand that the main issue is facial numbness & that it is still an undiagnosed issue assumed to be a problem with the nerve that affects the face. she is leery the novacaine will affect the nerve & lead to the brain.

I'm not sure if that's the exact spelling.. My sister was prescribed it and I'd like to know if you think it works for severe depression and also if you know how long it takes to work (days? weeks?)?? Thank you for your advice.

Hello, I am a very busy mother of 3.I spend alot of time doing things with the kids. I work 2 jobs and take care of my house. I don't have much time to excerise. I am only about 50 pounds over weight. Does anyone have any easy diets that I can work into my routine? I do have a tread mill I walk on everyday, I'm just not losing anything. I have had my thyroid checked and all seems to be fine there? So, any diet ideas, excersise routines that have worked for you or even diet pills that you have tried and have found success with. Thanks in advance for all you help.
