One week ago, DD woke up not being able to feel her legs. They were swollen and red with bruised looking knee caps. We propped them up, the swelling went down but now her legs hurt so bad she is in a wheelchair. Chiropractor and GP ordered an MRI of lower back which came out normal.
Her legs are painful to the touch. She cannot put weight on them, she has two points on her spine that cause complete bilateral numbness in her legs. One spot is just above the hips, the other is just below bra strap level. Manual traction removes the pain in the legs but when legs are released the pain comes rushing back worse than ever. Has anyone ever heard of these symptoms and what they mean? The docs are perplexed and I am getting worried.

Thanks

I had an abortion when I first met my husband(by pill). I then went on the depo shot and my last shot was 3/06 and I'm still not pregnant! I also had a breast enlargement, I don't know if that would effect me or not. I've read that you can get pregnant 18 months but why so long, should I be worried??

Where can I find dental floss wands in the UK?

They are described under the 'use section of this wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_floss

But when i search for them in ebay or amazon i get no results. Maybe they are called something else. Googling the answer gives references to oral b flossettes but seem to all be reviews with no where to buy them. A review I read suggested the oral b ones were expensive and that alternatives were cheaper. Where can I find them?

They must exist on ebay or amazon somewhere!

They tell me its impossible, i do it and prove its not. Now i have another goal in mind.. they tell me i better not pursue it, you cant do it, blah blah. Then when I say im going to they get angry. I feel like I 'better stay in line' as to not upset them, if I go for it they will be angry. Why are some people so negative when you want to achieve what they call ''the impossible'' even though its not. Why wouldnt they say go for it and be positive and happy? Why try to deter me?

I found this website that had a calculator that determined how much alcohol would kill you based on how much you weigh, and your height.

If someone can find me the link, or an equilvelent website, i'll give you BEST ANSWER points.

I also have to listen to music constantly to make the voices go away. i have had some traumatic experiences happen to me in the past. Am I crazy or something?

I have had this ache on one side of my abdomen starting mid-day today. It's not super painful, but when I walk around I can feel it. My mom said she had mittelschmerz when she was younger so maybe it is that? The ache is mainly below my waist line so I don't think it's appendicitis or anything like that. I have no fever and no other symptoms besides a slight back ache. It's been 14 days since my last period. Does this just sound like ovulation pain?

Or do pharmacies just give you the pills.
Don't ask me how old I am, just please answer the question.

I am getting different answers from different sites. I would like to lose weight and am looking for the amount of calories I should be eating daily to achieve my goal of ten pounds. Then how much I should be eating to maintain that weight. I currently weigh 130 and am 5'6. I am a waitress so I am standing on my feet for 8 hours a day 4-5 days a week. I am getting different results when I enter that in as exercise. The whole 8 hours I may not be running around, but at least 5 of them I am. Looking for some professional advice here because I cannot afford to go see a nutritionist!!!
