I have a date tonight and we're supposed to go to dinner @ which I always have a margarita or two but I can't drink booze with my back meds b/c it gives me the head ache from hell. Hence I have 2 choices

1) Take my back meds & smoke my weed & still have nice buzz w/o the booze?

2) Not take the back meds, drink the booze AND smoke my weed & run the risk of a hangover in the AM

OR chance it & space the taking of the Ultram & booze apart. That's prolly dangerous but that's me!

I'm 6 mos out from surgery and have a lump on the ball of my foot. Also feels like I have a cord tied around my big toe. it's not real tight but I can feel it when I wiggle my toes. Higher heeled shoes are tolerable for a short period of time. I used to walk 4-5 miles daily, but when I try to do that my foot (the ball of my foot) really starts to ache. Surgeon says that my weight has shifted and the lump may go back to where it was or it may stay the same. I'm very disappointed with my surgery. Is there any hope that this will return to normal and I can walk to my hearts content? Is any further surgery needed to correct this?

I am in the Czech Republic, and am having a hard time finding a doctor I trust is really thinking hard about my problem. The first doctor I went to felt the area and said my knee problem was due to some bad knee rotation incident, and it was affecting the meniscus, though she said it was not torn.

Then I went to the best hospital in Prague. The doctor there said it as an Anterior Cruciate Ligament problem, which he didn't think was too bad.

However, I think it is getting worse, not better. When the problem first started, both my knees were sore from something I did in the gym. As the weeks passed, only my right knee hurt, but it was the whole knee area, back, sides, and front.

Now I can definitely pinpoint the one thumbprint sized spot, on the inside part of the knee.

What will make this problem go away?
How long will it take?
Why has it not gotten better?
If I have to have surgery, how long before recovery?
Can I permanently injure it by walking?

Public Education talks like condoms are the cure for all our kids' sexual dangers, but I've only heard negative things about using them. No one seems to want to use them as they apparently kill off the pleasure of sex.

I personally see no need for condoms as I am an believer in abstinence til marriage and faithfulness thereafter. If you're not ready to have a baby, don't have sex. It's as simple as that. If we could all maintain that philosophy, there would be a drastic decline in these problems. Why can't we push that?

Seems very high to me, especially considering even a good dental insurance plan typically only picks up 1/2 of the overall cost. Wanted input from anyone "in the know."

If I am in debt and I cant figure out a way out, Isnt it possible for me to see my kidney or another body organ that I can still live with. I heard you can get like $20,000 for a healthy kidney. Is this true? I know this sounds stupid and this would be a last resort but do hospitals buy kidneys or other non-essential organs for BIG money?

Thus far it only affects muscles (ligaments/tendons?) along the outside and back of my legs. May extend as far as ankles. A sudden rise in internal pressure, such as coughing, while I am standing, is also painful around the hips.

i want to tell me friends about my...i dont know what it is...i mean its not like im anorexic or anything but i just...i dont know i just cant stop..anyways. I want to tell them for support, but everytime i start they just dismiss it saying " well if you're fat then im obese" or something like that. But i want them to understand that for once its not about them, that this time I'M the one who needs support. I sit there and listen to " i hate my life, johnny doesnt like me" or " Omg, i have the worst life ever, my mum didnt let me go out last night." and i want to scream out " Help me" but i cant because noone takes it seriously. Noone understands, how can i make them understand and help me?

OK, so I already diet pretty healthy. High protein, low fat, and moderate carbs. I lift weights a couple times a week, and get my cardio from playing sports a couple times a week. However I still have a little bit of excess fat, maybe about 5 pounds, covering my abs. And its been there for years, so I'm looking for a supplement that will help give me a boost in loosing it. I've been trying fat burners recently such as lipo 6 and hot rox, but haven't noticed any difference.

These are the ones I'm considering right now.
1) Taking Omega-3 supplement pills (I doubt I get much omega 3 daily, and I heard it helps burn fat)
2) Taking cortizone blockers (don't know much about them)
3) Taking estrogen blockers (know nothing about them, or any possible side effects, or if they are worth it).

I'm planning on using Animal PAK vitamins as soon as they come in the mail, they contain omega 3's and l-carnitine, and other stuff. Know if they help with fat loss? Or have any other ideas for me?

Everyone knows smoking is not good for their health so I want to know why anyone begins and continues to smoke. I am talking about before it gets addictive. I have only smoked 5 cigarettes in my life but I never found anything good about them. Perhaps I am ignorant. Is it the taste, the way it makes you feel, the way it makes you look or what?

I had a root canal on my front tooth 3 weeks ago following pain for about 3 weeks. I went back after 2 weeks for the temporary filling to be taken out but my dentist said he would have to put another temp filling in, presumably due to it still being infected. He flushed it out then put paper strip things up the canal this was very painful like it had hit the nerve (even though its not meant to be there) he said he was getting close to the bone thats why it hurt? I wouldnt think bone would hurt if touched?? anyway he put another temp filling on it and I have to go back again next week. Problem is iv still got a lot of pain in the tooth even though theres no nerve in it! It will be my 5th visit to the dentist for this problem next week and im sick of it! Its not like I can walk into another NHS dentist to get a second opinion, id have to pay and go private. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why im still in pain? He said i didnt need antibiotics.

I am a sophomore in high school, and I think I may be depressed. I don’t like going to school and many times I cry for really no reason. I get good grades(I have a 4.25 gpa), I play sports(at least two a yr), and have many friends. I don’t do drugs, smoke or drink and I don’t feel like I have to do that to fit in. Teachers like me and I like them. Several times I feel like I don’t belong at school with people my age. I am extremely mature for my age and sometimes don’t see things the same way my classmates do. I feel that there are much better things do to than to be stuck in school and that I am very out of place. I constantly think about dropping out or going to evening high school just not to be around the kind of people at school. My friends understand how I feel but there is only so much they can do. I feel that I am the only normal person in school while everyone else is “messed up”. I feel down depressed even when the most exciting things happen. What can I do?am i 2 mature?
