I'm having my wisdom teeth out on October 23rd. I went to the dentinst today and he gave me penicillin to take because I was in pain. I was surfing the web about why he gave me the medication and I read alot about that you should take the penicillin a couple of days before surgery. Mine's still two weeks away, and the medicine is only supose to last a week. Should I take the pencillin now, or wait?

I'm supposed to take one pill(500 mg) four times a day.

I have a doc appointment on Friday. Is this an IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) or IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)? If not, what do you think it is?

Hello,
I have been taking Norco 10mg, 4-5 times a day for about 3 months for chronic pain, legally prescribed of course [Norco is just hydrocodone like Vicodin, but without so much tylenol]. But the pain is still pretty bad, so I was just today prescribed the Fentanyl patch which is longer acting.

I haven't put one on yet because the included leaflet kind of scared me. It mentions that you need to be tolerant to opiates before starting the medicine so that your body doesn't accidentally overdose. Since I've been taking the Norco for a few months, I guess my body is somewhat tolerant. But in the instructions it lists the minimum doses of other opiates that you should be taking prior to starting so that it's not too much of a shock to your system I guess. It lists morphine, oxycodone, etc. but not hydrocodone. It's the same doctor and pharmacy that gave it to me that has given me the Norco, so I'd assume they'd know, but I didn't want to be too careful.

The prescription is for 1-2 patches every 3 days, at 50 MCG/HR each (Told to start with 1 first and see if that's enough). I'm not looking to overdose, and was hoping someone could shed some light on this a bit. Is my hydrocodone dose (40-50mg/day) enough to start this? Thanks!

Several weeks ago I was changing a tire on my car when the jack broke and it fell on my arm/wrist. My lower arm/wrist was pinned under the tire for about a minute or so before I could get it free. I went to the ER and had an X-Ray done and there were no breaks that could be seen. I was told to apply ice and wrap it with an ACE bandage and wait for the swelling to go down. Now the swelling has gone down and the arm looks normal again but I still get these really intense pains and electrical-like jolts when I manuever my arm in certain ways. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I was bulimic for 4 months even though i knew how stupid it was. A couple of weeks ago i quit and i didn't find it very difficult, however my mom is taking me to the doctor for a checkup in a week and a half and she already has suspicions. I know you may say that i should tell my mom anyway but she is not an understanding or affectionate person. I really want to put this behind me and hope that no one will ever find out. What should i expect at the doctors, is there anything i can do beforehand to fix it, and what can i say to explain anything they do find? I really appreciate any help, thank you.

I had dijon mustard as a salad dressing, and it was pretty tasty. However, I'm wondering if it is unhealthy or not. What about fat free dijon mustard? I heard that even though some dressings are said to be fat free, sometimes the dressing still has a lot of sugar or perhaps other things in it.

What would you do with your cousin if he acts violent but can't help it? He doesn't care that he is on probation and is bringing his family down (his sister, my aunt and uncle). We have had problems with him for years and does not care about anything anymore, hes given up and doesn't think of the future, and lives on a day to day basis, meaning he doesn't want anything for himself and only thinks about what will happen that day. He has had thoughts about killing ones he's close to. He smokes cigarettes and weed, and drinks alcohol. The reason he is on probation is because he had blood-alcohol poisoning and was in the hospital for about 3 days. My uncle can't take it anymore, and he already has lots of stress. Not to mention this kid is 14 years old, almost 15. They went through christian councelling and he thought God would fix all of his problems, but he prayed and his thoughts of killing his cousin weren't gone so he said F*** GOD. I need help with him, and my uncle barely has $

during my soccer game today, im a goalie, i slid in front of a girl a she ran into my leg, or possibly kicked it. it was right above my knee. it hurt instantly but i stayed in the game, i just had to hobble around. it didnt hurt to kick, but it hurt when i came back down on the leg. while sitting down in the car with my foot flat on the ground i couldnt lift the leg. ive now noticed that it is quite swolen, but hardly any brusing. but it hurts quite badly and ive been walking around with quite the limp and the leg sometimes just like buckles up on me and i have to go up the stairs one foot at a time. i know its going to be very sore tomorrow but at what point would i want to go to the doctors? i got hit in the same spot, same leg, playing basketball and it hurt for a few days but it definitely didnt feel this bad on the night that it happened. what did i do? how can i help? do i practice tomorrow? when to call the doctor?

My sister has a very large fibroid that the doctors say they'll try to treat with meds because she's having a lot of bleeding. However, if that does not work, they said she may need a complete hysterectomy ( removal of uterus and cervix)

Has any ladies out there have advice for her if she does get a hysterectomy? She is afraid and wants to know about the following:

--will it affect sex life ( libiddo)?

--will sex feel the same ( both to her or husband)?

--what physical appearances or health issues change after a hysterectomy?


Thank you so much for your help!

I am really freaking out here, please help me. Tomorrow (Thursday) we're supposed to start our swimming unit in school. I love this unit and I'm really pumped, but I'm supposed to get my period on Friday. Now I've only been getting it for a year, so it's still really unstable. I never know when I'm going to get it. I haven't gotten it yet, but I'm really afraid I might get it before I have to swim or while I'm in the water! If I miss the first day my teacher will get furious, and besides my mom is making me swim. So what can I do? Any suggestions?? I don't know how to use a tampon so please suggest something else! Please help me! :*(
