I have a uti again and I dont have insurance. I wanted to know if there was a natural remedy besides cranberry juice(which by the way doesnt do much).

i am in total agony, with a lot of pain in my lower back, and radiating into my right hip. i dont have much money to spend, but i need pain help. ive been in pain for probably 5 months, and my doctors insisted that i was not in pain. now after an mri showed a bulging disk and a pinched nerve in my back, they are refusing me pain meds. im on a lot of other meds, for different stuff, so herbal is not an option. i dont have the money or any insurance to cover chiro or massage therapy. does hot water or ice packs work? is there a massager i can buy to help with the pain. it has to be low cost though. any other ideas would be nice. im not supposed to stretch it, or carry anything over 10-15lbs. i am basically bedridden at the moment, because movement causes me serious pain

I'm a college student who just returned from a year abroad in Europe to a busy summer job working at a camp, teaching swimming and gymnastics lessons. I work from 8-5:30 most days, and get the weekends off. I've been noticing that I've been getting pretty bad headaches at work lately and I don't know whether it's due to being out in the sun all time and getting dehydrated (I always keep a water bottle with me and try to drink a lot, but being out in the sun, I'm always dehydrated at the end of the day) - or something else, as I've also been feeling lightheaded and tired lately. Even on my days off, I've been lightheaded only an hour or two after a snack or meal. On work days, I eat breakfast at 6:30, and lunch at 12. If I don't have a snack in between, I start to go downhill in the day and feel lightheaded before lunch and get bad headaches in the afternoon.

Is this normal, or should I worry? I'm about 5'3" and about 150, so about 15 pounds over ideal weight.

I'm really looking for a cited answer, if there are sources out there that have gotten to the bottom of this phenomenon.

I'm currently 19 years old, male, 145-150 pounds, 5'8", and I'm seeking advice for how I can workout at home, or at least without a gym. Sports, I can't participate in due to my lack of interest in them, and as for the gym, I don't have a membership yet, and I don't think I'll have one for a bit (though I'll be trying to get one ASAP.) My body type isn't fat or skinny, just not toned. What I want to achieve is a toned body. Not any sort of big muscle type of body, just healthy enough and toned enough.

What are your suggestions on which excercises or workouts I should do? Other than running and eating the right things, I have no idea what to do, and even then I'm not sure how much I have to run for. What should I do, when should I do it, and how often? I guess those are my main questions. I'd also appreciate any suggestions on what I should eat on a daily basis since my diet (or rather, just my food consumption) is pretty random.

I'd appreciate any helpful suggestions.

I am probably going to get a hysterectomy this week and I had a few questions regarding the procedure. I wanted to know how long most people stay in the hospital? I also wanted to know if there is lots of pain cause I am not good with pain at all?? How long is the recovery afterwords cause I work full time as a supervisor in housekeeping?? I am having a hysterectomy after my doctor did 2 D&C's. I have not stopped heavy bleeding in two months and now my hemaglobin is down to 9.4 . I am really dizzy and this past weekend I got really sick as in throwing up. I am thinking these are signs of me getting worse. I already have one son and I am 25 years old. If I want anymore children I can always adopt. If anyone can answer my questions or have any suggestions please let me know.

Before everyone says i should just excercise!! I follow a strict diet of 1200 calories per day and follow a routine of 45 mins cardio, plus use free weights on my upper arms, as well as lower body excersises and around 300 (different variations) of sit ups, i do this at least 4 times a week however i still find my stomach is a bit wobbly, and wondered if i used them in conjunction with a low calorie diet and a proper excersise routine whether they would enance the effects??

the pain is mainly in my jaw tho, and radiates to my ear. ive been taking anti-b's as precautionary measure as have a heart murmur so dont think it can be an infection. My partner seems to think i may have a broken, or very badly bruised jaw. its still very swollen. it really hurts to talk or eat and so im still on a liquid diet. Is this normal or not?
