Last night around 11:00pm, My arm started to get this weird feeling in like it was numb and tingley. I kinda felt like i was getting my blood pressure taken and all the blood was rushing to my arm and hand. I put the heating pad on it and it was okay for awhile but now that feeling has come back. I told my mom and she said I probaly strained it from the heavy lifting I did for her yesterday.
But I don't know can anyone help me, Im not sure that its strained but could anyone tell me some other problems could be?

My 67 year old mum felt/heard a crack in her right thigh yesterday and fell to the ground. She was taken to A&E, and a fractured thigh bone was confirmed. Yesterday evening, she was put in traction and they are hoping to perform surgery today.

My questions are these.

1. Although I appreciate her age and the likelihood of osteoporosis, is it normal for such a large bone to literally snap without any prior trauma?

2. What is the recovery prognosis for such a condition? She is already arthritic in her knees, spine, hips etc, and following an illness earlier this year, currently weighs about 15 stone.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A South African man shot three weeks ago was told to "walk the pain off" and is still trying to persuade hospitals to remove the bullet lodged in his side, a newspaper said Thursday.

Three Johannesburg hospitals refused to remove the bullet for security guard Phillip Mashiane, 38, who was shot during a burglary at the property of South Africa's ambassador to the United Nations, the Star newspaper said.

The bullet passed through his elbow and entered his body just above the hip, missed his vital organs and stopped beneath the skin on the opposite side of his body, the Star said.

Mashiane told the paper he was turned away by one private hospital because he could not afford the bills while a public hospital took X-rays and kept him in for observation before patching him up and sending him home with painkillers.
When he returned a doctor told him to "walk the pain off."

Doctors at a third hospital said it could not remove the bullet because Mashiane had started treatment elsewhere.

"I want my life back. I need to work and all I ask is for them to help me," Mashiane told The Star.

South Africa is battling some of the highest rates of violent crime in the world, and its underfunded public hospitals struggle to treat all those who need healthcare.

Have you ever tried the Slim Fast shakes and bars? I once read, that you can only lose 2 pounds a week on a Slim Fast diet. Is that true, and if it is why do they call it Slim Fast? What are is your experience trying Slim Fast?

These are my husband's symptoms:
throwing up blood
severe stomach cramps/pain in lower abdomen
some pain also in back
painful diarrhea

He was diagnosed weeks ago with ulcers. He took the Prevpack and nexium. A more recent endoscopy showed the ulcers are healing nicely.

Monday he was in so much pain he went to ER. They told him he had enlarged lymph nodes in his stomach and prescribed Cipro.

His medications are:
Prevpack
Cipro
Nexium

A gall bladder test checked out okay, and he does not have kidney stones. He is scheduled for a colonoscopy tomorrow. The doctors don't seem to have a clue.

What could this be? The vomiting blood for the past couple days has scared me.

I suffer OCD, depression & anxiety, & I'm very sensitive & my feelings get hurt easily. With my OCD, I can't help repetitiously obsessing over what mean words people have said to me. & I get so worried about what people say that I can't focus on my tests in school & end up failing. & I can't just get over what people say like other people can.

& people don't understand my daily struggle with OCD & think I dwell on stuff because I "want" to. & they think I'm just crazy.
