My son's heel pain is making him giddy every time he uses his right foot to walk. And it is painful enough to make him refuse to walk. Does it have anything to do with his sinusitis? He's on medication now after complaining of giddiness/nauseous for several days especially in the morning and was diagnosed with sinusitis yesterday.

I have heard some places that take hair donations for kids with cancer are frauds, so I want to make sure my hair goes to the right people. I'm a guy, so this is a once in a life time thing for me since it's hard to grow it out 10 inches for donation.

He is 9 years old and one of his conditions could ultimately lead to death. How do you explain to a child that what his doctors are doing to him may seem to him to be painful and cruel are saving his life. And how do I talk to him about death?

I am trying to loose the last 10 pounds but all i want to do it eat at night. I eat all that i have planned to eat for the day, and then the sun goes down and I am on a munching rampage! Are there any teas or supplements out there besides diet pills to help control my appetite and cravings?

I was cut by a rusty nail outside, I cleaned it, put triple anti-biotic ointment, and I change the dressing more than once a day, anything else I should do?

Note: I have recently received my tetanus and meningitis shot.

I have been eating a lot of cottage cheese lately and got to wondering if it is possible to eat to much? what are the benefits of it, and how much should someone eat in a day? I do an hour of cardio a day and lift weights, so i know its good to eat for protein, and I usually eat 2 cups of the 2% cottage cheese a day, but am I over doing it?

Two months ago, I started having head pains/neck pains/muscle twitches/some numbness and weakness of extremities. I had an MRI which showed a dilation of the central canal of the spinal cord most consistent with a 'syrinx'. If you are familiar with 'syringomyelia' you know it is very dangerous, etc. Today I went for my first visit to a doctor, a neurosurgeon. He looked at my MRI and said this was 'normal' and just something I was born with and is not what is causing my symptoms. He said the 'dilation' measures about 2mm wide/4mm long. My question is, is it possible he is right and this is nothing to be worried about or is it just that this problem is so rare he probably isn't well educated on the horrific effects it can potentially have if allowed to progress? I do have a history of neck trauma, it has been about 10 years ago. Today is also the first day in 2 months that I have not had head pain and the muscle twitching is decreased by 75% - hopefully it will stay this way!

here while back i heard that because your abs have continuious blood flow they are one of the few muscles that can be worked everyday...punished was the actual terminology. is this true and if so what other muscles can be treated this way and what are some exercises? i have limited accsess to weights so body weight exercises would be great. thanks for your time.

I Need help!
I just want you all to know this is very embarrassing for me to even say all of this.

First of all, I am 23 and I'm not sure if I should have problems like this at all at my age...???

I have a problem..... taking a $hit. I know I know.. laugh it up. lol
I never ever had a problem doing a "number 2" till probably last year. Last year I started getting these small pains around my anal area. At first it would hurt, then somestimes it wouldn't. Lately its been getting WORST and FAR more painful and to the point I DREAD going to the bathroom.

-- Gross alert!! --- It feels like my crap is ripping my *** open. OUCH! BUT the crap is tiny and small, not a large snake or anything. lol I'd wipe myself and find a lil blood.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be gross or even funny. I'm just trying to explain this so you guys understand what I am feeling here.

What is this? How can i treat it? Can I avoid the doc cause this is TOO embarrassing.
THANX in advance!
