Health - 30 October 2007

My brother in law is suffering from what we believe is an abcessed tooth.The pain and swelling started on Friday and the swelling has increased somewhat everyday.He has tried to drain it himself a couple times,its not doing a whole lot.The pain has increased the past few days and the abcess seems to be getting 'hard'.Sooo if anyone knows any temp fixes besides salt water,we dont have access to Doc right now or antibiotics,All help appreciated.

My friend is very very very self conscious(spelling?). I am 13, 4 foot 8 inches and I only weigh 68 lbs. I am not underweight(even though the bmi things say I am) and my shoe size is only a 2. Well, my friend is always comparing herself to me(she is 5 foot 4 inch, 12 years old and weighs about 140 with a size 9 shoe. She also has to wear a big bra(32b). I tell her she's not fat or have big boobs/feet but she won't listen. How can I help her and do you really think she is that big? I tell her she just hit puberty early, but she just doesnt listen. Thank you for the help!

I'm very unfamiliar with this and would like to learn more about it.... by the way I'm only 21 yrs. old. Is it a serious condition? Is is common? What causes it? Treatment? and MOST IMPORTANTLY will it affect my ability to become pregnant. I am a mother to a 5 month old could giving birth cause this? I have an appt. to sit down with my doctor for tomorrow, but i'm really want to know something before then.

i overused my arm, and my dminant arm is really weak now. i play basketball and im serious about this its been 2 and a half month since i got this injury. massage therapist said i also have damaged tissue around right back of my back. so that is why it was causing the weakness on my dominant arm. cuz the blood really didnt flow back to my arm very well. i also kept playing video games since i got this injury. but no bball. im soo frustrated, beacuse its still not healed yet. massage therapist said "its not a serious injury, dont worry about it".im just wondering if im gonna get 100% strength back. like do these kind of injuries fully heal?? (ive never expierenced any severe pain". im not really sure why its causing the weakness on my dominant arm but one day i got my ipod stolen. i got really stressed. too much. and since i got this injury i worried too much about it. im 15 years old. my main question is that if this is going to fully heal and my shoulder makes that clickin sound when.

I'm thirteen years old, and I do cross country, and I stretch before running always. Since this morning I've noticed that my knee has been feeling weird. It feels like the knee cap is kind of out of place, and it hurts. I can only straighten my leg out out half way, and when I walk I have to limp. Yesterday I ran a cross country championship meet, so maybe I just pulled something, but I'm not sure. When I attempt to straighten it out, it hurts right in the middle of my knee--not exactly the knee cap, but the tiniest bit farther down my leg, like right under it. I don't know if there's a tendant or something below the bone that I might have injured...? It doesn't hurt on any other part of my leg except on my knee when I try to stretch it. Do you have any idea what this is or how to treat it????
I also have shin splints so if you know any stretches to treat that please let me know.
Thank you! ☺

I purchased this Sealy True Foam 11" mattress a couple of months ago, because of my back pain, but instead I got much worse and also my husband start having back pain! So we switch back to the old mattress (just a regulat spring firmer mattress) and we actually got a little bit better. Just recently we went back to the place we bought it to see if we could take it back ( and probably we can't because of their non-return policy) and we got to learn that we picked up the only mattress they have on the floor that does not offer back support! Same thing will be with the Tempur-pedic brand: this is what they said! So, I'm wondering, is there anybody else out there that experience this problem before? Obviously, we got it because it's "supposed to be sooooo good for your back, a better sleep.... Thanks!
