My girlfriend has a tooth that needs a root canal badly, and her whole jaw is swollen badly, she can only open it a couple of finger's width it hurts so much. Her insurance is being an asshole and probably won't okay the Root Canal for 2-4 weeks. Her parents aren't in a very good financial situation, so they need their insurance to do it. If they tried to do a tooth pull they wouldn't be able to numb it enough...
I'm so worried about her... will she be able to wait that long?

Has anyone had a tooth pull without good numbing?

Lately, I've had chest pains on my right side. Specifically, the pain is centered on the upper-left side of my right breast, around the cleavage dip. I am large chested (34 DDD), could that be a problem? The sharpness of pain depends on movement. Sometimes when I turn onto one side in bed, I get a spasm on pain.
Is this something to worry about or could it be a stable angina or something benign?

Yeah it's kind of gross, but we all gotta do it. I'm a bit backed up, and instead of using Ex-Lax to flush things through, I need something that will TOTALLY flush my intestines clean in one fell swoop. Years ago, a pharmacist at a local grocery store told me to get this over the counter stuff in a green bottle that you just drank the whole thing - forgot what it was called, but it tasted rather tart. Anyway, less than 5 minutes after I drank that thing, I was praying to God to make it all stop, but it flushed me out completely.

I'm looking for something like that, but more effective, or if not, then that same thing again. I just can't remember the name. Can anybody help me out here? (OTC only please - thanks!)

I've been using a treadmill to run for the past few months, but I've been having these urges to run outside, but I don't live in a very safe neighborhood. So I've just been curious if running on the treadmill has the same affect as other running, like through the neighborhood.

Anyone know?

I have a very bad--I mean severe-- phobia of loss of control/ dignity. I don't know the actual term, but I just know that I completely lose control of myself when faced with medical procedures because I feel like they can do anything to me even if I say no. I also have bad problems with rape, diet, etc. I need to get my blood drawn soon-- I never have and need to be tested for diabetes-- and last time I tried I ran to the bathroom and stayed locked there until they promised I didn't have to do it. It's embarrassing. Does anyone know exercises or something to do that could help?

I've been under a lot of stress about everything. Especially school.

I go to a very prestigious school and I'm only in ninth grade. The majority of classes I'm taking is meant for tenth graders. I used to be a straight A student in middle school, but now I'm just getting C's left right and center. For example, I recently got a 59 on a math test (I'm in honors Algebra 2), a C in honours Biology, and a couple D's in Spanish 2. I haven't gotten a hundred on anything since the school year started.

I just sometimes feel like breaking down and crying during class, because I'm trying my best, I really am, but seem to be getting absolutely nowhere with anything.

I get about 3+ hours of homework each night, and I also babysit my 4 year old brother at night.

I just feel happy when I'm at home, and I'm just under a lot of stress all the time. All I really want to do is spend my days reading my Bible and learning about history.

Sometimes I feel a bit confused when they use all those technical terms for different workouts. Its all like a completely new language for me and sometimes makes it a bit difficult to understand the exercise.

I am on a calorie counting diet but I crave sweets like cookies
How can I eat what I want. Why do some people eat whatever
they want and dont gain any pounds. If I have over 2300 calories
a day i seem to gain weight. Today I only had 1600 calories.
Ive lost 20 pounds in two months, but it is a struggle to resist
sweets. I still have about 80 pounds to go to get to my goal of
180 lbs.

I all of a sudden do not have an appetite, I don't feel sick, I'm a little depressed which is unusual for me. Could that be the reason? Just went to the Doctors, blood works perfect....

Explain how they have all the meds you need to buy and how each pharmacy has the exact amount for you. To me it seems they plan for you to go to a specific pharmacy when you can go to all of them.
