Health - 30 November 2007

My husband was lifting weights at the gym tonight. While he was lifting, he heard a pop in his lower back. Since then it has been very painful. He walks with his back hunched over (it hurts for him to straighten it out) and he limps. I think he should go to the ER, but he claims it would be pointless because they wouldn't do anything. Am I overreacting or should he get seen by a doctor tonight?

We just moved into a new apartment complex. As I was unpacking my girlfriend decided to go to the clubhouse and check out the steam room we had heard about. I have never actually been in one before so I was not in the mood to try now, i was already sweaty.
She came back about 20mins later and told me that it was a coed common steam room, kind of small (could only fit 4-5 people) and when she walked in there was a naked guy sitting on a towel with a hand towel on his head. She said the didnt know what to do, stay or go? keep her bikini on or take it off? She said she ended up staying and keeping her bikini on. The other guy never said anything or even acknowleged her. He just switched from sitting to laying down on his back then left.

She wanted to know if that is normal?
And how other women might have reacted given the same situation?

It has happened every other [maybe every] day for about two weeks now. I wear rubberbands on my braces, and I'll put them on at night you know, then I wake up in the morning, and they're not there.I make my mom watch me put them on at night too.

Anybody know why this is happening?

[And Yes, the could possibly be breaking and me swallowing, but I have found then intact in my bed a couple times].

I've had migraines for a while.. and a nurse i know (she's still going to med school) felt my mouth popping and clicking.. and i could NEVER find out what my migraines were.. i kept a food diary, everything.. well.. she suggested maybe it was caused by TMJ.. i'm not sure if i have it or not because my parents cannot afford a dentist or doctor right now... for the longest time my jaw has cracked and popped even when i barely open my mouth.. it's been sore enough that it hurts to talk.. i just ignored it.. also i grind my teeth at night.. that's the best information i can give.. please help, if anyone knows about TMJ migraines.. that would help me so much.. i've been trying forever to find out what causes my migraines.. thank you!

My friend wants to sell his testicals for money, and I was wondering, would his voice change after they were removed? Would his voice get more high pitch by an chance? Or is that just a myth?

Hi, I had root canal done about a year ago and it has been hurting on and off for the last 6 months now. It really hurts in the evenings and during the night but does not hurt at all during the day.

I have told the dentist this and she gave me an x-ray, which turned out to be fine.

It is not sensitive to hot and cold like my intected tooth was before the root canal treatment but it does hurt when I chew with it sometimes.

I also grind my teeth whilst sleeping.

Any suggestions what it might be?

Every doctor I have gone to see has either thought I am neurotic, won't give me medication I need (antidepressants and anxiety meds) even though I had a panic attack AT the dr office. I'm not going to make a short story long here but there have been many other instances like this with many other doctors. I want to give up, never go to another one. I'm just wondering if anyone can share their experiences, maybe someone can make me feel a little better about this. Right now I think that a good doctor is just a fantasy character, right up there with unicorns and frog princes. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. I'm not a drug seeker, I just want meds that I legitimately need, and a doctor that seems to actually give a crap about his/her patients. Should I just give up on finding one? I'm about at the point where I am resigned to live with untreated medical issues because of the anxiety it causes me to look for doctors and keep finding nothing but pure JERKS. Any input appreciated.

My orthodontist said that I would most likely be given rubber bands to wear at my next appointment (a week from today)... and I'm a little anxious about the effects that they might have on kissing and other intimate activities.

I know that wearing the bands all the time except for eating and brushing is necessary to get the braces off on time. But, will I be able to take them off before kissing and the such?

Will taking them off for an hour or two every so often (not every day) in addition to the time they are off for eating and brushing have a noticable impact on how soon I will get my braces off?

Thanks for your help.
