I went to the dentist yesterday and scheduled an appointment for tomorrow morning. But i woke up this morning and its worse than it was the past 3 days. Yesterday i couldn't open my mouth all the way, and today i can't bite down. What the hell should i do? What about eating? I figure i should use warm salt water...eat apple sauce and soup....and take ibprofin or aspirin. Any other suggestions until i go in tomorrow? This is tortrue. I woke up and when i found out i couldn't bite down because of the swelling...i started crying. I feel so helpless and in pain. Anybody have any advice to reduce the swelling?

I made it clear that I was in pain. Surgery is now closed and the pain has spread to the upper teeth. Is this normal? Please answer, pain is really bad. Thanks

I have just been to see a gynocologist, first he did an internal examination, then he did a C.T scan, then he inserted a strange long looking camera, so that he could get a good look at my uterus, ovaries etc etc. Anyway, this is when he discovered this very small polyp, either on my ovary or my uterus, cant remember where he said now!
I have got to go and have a general anaesetic next week to have it removed, it is then sent for a biopsy, which apparently is standard proceedure.
I am now worried sick, can these polyps be cancerous?
Thanks for any advice

I have had the growth on my lower back for twelve years now. I am so super duper scared that if or when I get it removed, I might get terrible results, and much worse, I might die.

I'm looking for a weightloss support forum/community that is positive and isn't centred on denial, punishment, obsession with calories and unhealthy systems such as Atkins. Veg*an friendly a bonus but I guess I can stay out of those threads. ~sigh~

I keep missing the time I'm suppose to take my birth control because I'm always out and I keep forgetting to take them with me. I miss it usually by a few hours 2-3 hours or a little more. Can that affect the effectiveness? Or what could happen?

I have a pool party to attend for the holiday tomorrow. I realize it is impossible to drop several pounds overnight but know that I can decrease my bloating and water weight to "appear" thinner. What are some good suggestions on accomplishing this? Thanks!

I am low in Iron and feel very lethargic at times throughout the day, especially in the late afternoon.
Is their anything natural i can take to give me a boost, especially because I have really dark bags under my eyes.
I am also a vegetarian so I lose out on the iron that alot of meat eaters get just through their diet.
Does anyone know of anything that would work but that doesnt cost a fortune?

i know that taking antibiotics makes your birthcontrol less effective, but i was wondering if anyone knew exactly how much it effects it? is it barely effective or does it make it basically non-exsistant? i get UTIs a lot and have to take antibiotics for them everytime.
i'm on the ortho-evra patch and i always use a condom, but should i be worried if the condom were to break or something?

I am a 62-year-old, somewhat overweight, male. I regularly do aerobic exercises, and use a weight machine. I also do situps and pushups. Recently I have begun to experience lower back pain and weakness. Is it possible that either or both the pushups or situps are causing, or aggravating , this problem? Thanks!
