I got a crown on my bicuspid/premolar two months ago after breaking off the back/inside cusp. It looked to me like the part that broke off was pretty small, and I did not need a root canal or anything. The crown has caused me all manner of problems (pain, cutting/scraping my tongue and lip, pressure on adjacent teeth, interfering with my singing, whistling and even slightly with my speech), and I keep wanting to just yank it out with my bare hand. Of course, I will go to a dentist, but I wonder if it's possible to just pull out the crown and not get another one, or would enough of the tooth be shaved off by now that it would damage it to leave it exposed? I have no concern about its appearance whatsoever--no one can see it anyway--so that's not an issue.


P.S. I was not in any pain after breaking the tooth and now suspect that the crown was completely unnecessary. Is this malpractice?

ever since i was a little kid i have had this problem with my skin where it gets wrinkly dry spots and if i dont treat them they turn red and have flaky skin on them and at the worse they bleed. I dont think its psoriasis or eczema it just seems like dry skin. I went to a dermatologist and he said that its not fungus or anything and he did not really have a name for it. If I put hydrocortizone ointment or cream on it, it gets a little bit better from what seems like being moisturized. I have tried all types of cream like aquaphor and cocoa butter and hydrocortizone but it can only make it a little better and can never cure the patches. At best they become invisible to the eye and I can only barely feel that the skin is dry there. The dry patches seem to go away on their own and appear elsewhere sometimes over the course of a couple of months. What the hell is this and have you ever encountered anything like it and how could i treat it? ty all

I have had insomnia for the past week, I close my eyes but am unable to fall into a deep sleep,I toss and turn and look at the clock every hour. I don't think I have had REM sleep for awhile. I am feeling very weird during daytime hours, confusion, disorientation, anxiety, moodiness. I just feel very off. My work performance is sliding as well. I really need a good nights sleep or I don't think I can mentally function one more day like this, I feel like I'm losing my mind!! Any suggestions on curing this, pls only serious anwers!!

I just read a story about a dog who peformed a type of heimlich manuever on his owner to dislodge an apple slice that was in her windpipe...now I'm afraid to eat! Well, not that extreme, but the story just scares me.

Are we generally safe when it comes to eating? (I was thinking that as humans we are meant to eat, so the process shouldn't pose a threat to us)

When we eat food, doesn't it always go down our esophagus to our stomach for digestion?

How can something get in the windpipe? How can we prevent that?

Can't a person still breathe at least a little even if something is in there?

I hope someone can ease my worries. =(

I have been stressed lately with uni, and i have pulled allnighters for a week-straight on, with tiny bits of sleep here & there.. The fifth day with no sleep, i realized i got this really sore tongue one morning, and it had these extremely tiny zit looking stuff on both sides of my tongue. This has never happend to me before! It kind of feels like i burned my tongue drinking hot coffee..but not quite. The tip of my tongue feels quite sore as well, but im not extremely sore either, just little uncomfortable. I can eat as well, just feels a little wierd. Could this be stress related etc?? Any suggestions to what this may be...? Thanks..

PS. I have only been sexually active with one person for 4years and vice versa..

I currently take Luvox 300mgs and Klonopin 2 mgs daily for anxiety and OCD. Recently, my dad passed away, and depression set in on me==i couldnt even get out of bed. My doctor gave me samples of Provigil. It really helped me but my insurance will not cover it at all. My doc even talked to them but it didnt make a difference. Does anyone know of any alternatives i can try===how about Adderall XR?

i just got back from spring break in florida and i got sunburned all over. a couple days later, my left eye started to feel weird and it would hurt to rub around it. the next day when i woke up, my entire left eye was swollen. there are tiny bumps on my top eyelid and is swollen. my lower eyelid is just red with a little swollen. my left eye is also bloodshot red all the time now.
i have no idea what it is. mostly it doesn't itch. sometimes my eye gets irritated but i try not to rub. i use eyedrops several times a day to sooth my eye. anyone know what might be wrong with my eye? it's been 2 full days and it doesn't look very good... what should i do?

Ok let me start by saying that I've been recreationally smoking marijuana for over 10 years.. mostly every other weekend or so. I can honestly say that I have never had a concern about it.... till last weekend.

I can probably count how many times I've done coke in my life on one hand...

Last weekend a friend of mine came over for a smoke, but I was out... I called another friend who was on his way with it. In the mean time, the friend that was with me brought out some coke and did a few lines, then invited me for some.. I figured what the heck.. and I did a couple of line too... feeling really good, my other friend showed up and we had a couple of bowls, then they left, but not after having another line of coke. I was feeling really really good and mellow... when suddenly I felt really weird. as though I was about to faint, and my heart started racing, and I had trouble breathing..
