I have a keloid on my jawline and it isn't so much a problem with the way it looks but that it is slightly painful to the touch. I am hoping someone has had some luck with some natural remedies like different herbs or something of the sort. I don't want to do steroid injections, lasers, freezing, or any of those. Any help would be appreciated...

I just took out my tongue ring because obviously it doesn't help my teeth. I use Rembrandt whitening strips. I just recently started flossing daily and brushing 3x instead of the pathetic once or twice.

When my wife was pregnany, she was put on terbutaline to stop early labor. She ended up being alergic to it, and now any time she eats something with citrus in it, her tongue breaks out with these nasty looking blisters. It almost looks like the surface of her tongue is being eaten away. Is it possible for a medication to create an alergy to something like citrus? She was never affected by citrus before the medication.

I have been taking Lortab for about 3 months now for my TMJ problem. My doctor gave me 7.5/500 which I have been abusing I admit. I take anywhere from 7-12 a day. I have a drug test in 5 days for a new job. If i have a prescription for them and stop taking them today until after the drug test, will I pass it. I know taking them as directed I would be fine with a prescription, but as I've sated I've taken more than prescribed. Will that show up even if i didn't stop taking them? Can they tell how many i've taken, and if i stopped today, will they even show up at all? By the way, I weigh 241lbs. 6ft tall and am a male, 25 yrs. old. If I am at risk for failing is there anything I can do to speed up the half life and get it out of my system in 4 1/2 to 5 days or at least enough to pass the test? Thank you soo much in advance!!! ALSO would there be a difference if it was a blood or a urine test, because i'm not sure which it is but do know it's not a hair test.

I have a friend who has rarely been able to cry for almost as long as I can remember. It is not that her tear-glands are blocked, it is simply that when she is sad or frustrated, and wants to cry, she can't. Can anyone tell me why this is, or preferably something that she could do to fix this? Or would a doctor be needed? Thank you.

I've been hitting the gym two to three times a week for about an hour and a half per visit for the past three months. I do cardio for about half an hour and the rest of my time on machines. I don't do free weights because I don't have a spotter and frankly, feel a tad foolish surrounded by all these muscle bound, heavy duty lifters. Right now my goal is to gain upper body mass so I "pyramid" the weights with 18-24 reps in my first set, 12-18 on my second (with more weight) and 8-12 on my third (with even more weight). Since I'm a sweat-soaked mess at the end of my workout, I must be doing something right ... right? And I can definitely see improvement!

But I'm wondering what I'm missing by not working with free weights. Should I stick with the machines for now and move to free weights after I've gained a bit more mass? Or should I just wander over and jump into free weights?

Any advice is appreciated!

My shoulder/neck muscles are so tense/hard, it causes severe headaches, pinched nerves and swelling/pain in my arms. The MRI shows nothing. Aside from every possible med I have used for pain/relaxer, I have used - ultra sound, chiropratics, massage, acupunture, physical therapy and warm water pool therapy.

Does anyone know of anyother treatments?

I'm mean I'm circumcised and I think that awareness and safer sex are more vital than just getting circumcised. What happens when men think that just being cut will help them? I think this can cause more harm than good.

Hi!
My entire life I have always hated my nose and someday wanted to get a nose job. Well a month ago I had an accident and found out I now have a deviated septum that needs fixing. So I'm thinking...hmm maybe this is my blessing in disguise and my solution. Has anyone had this and then fixed? Was your nose reshaped? Did it look different and look better? Or am I hoping for to much? Thanks for your time and help!! :)
