What can I expect at my first Pain Management appt? It is actually called pain medicine(that's the name of the clinic). I have a bulging disk at L-4 L-5 and it hurts constantly! I am currently on Lortab 10 mg, 2 per day...I do need more per day because I sit at a desk at work all day and it only makes it worse. I'm afraid to ask at my first appointment because I don't want to be labeled as a seeker. I think 4 per day would do me GREAT justice, as that was the amount I was on prior to moving and changing docs. What do they normally do at your first appointment? Is an epidural something they do for first timers? I'm awfully scared of needles....I would love to try anything else but an epidural. Any suggestions and please tell me what to expect. Thanks

I want to skip my period this month, but I've heard some people say that it took a few packs of taking their HBC consistantly (no placebo week) to skip their period.

Oh, I'm on a monophasic pill, Aviane - generic for Alesse.

I can't handle this snoring anymore. I have a two story house and even with his bedroom door closed and tv on I hear him thru the house. We haven't sleep together in 5 years as the snoring is sooo loud. I know about sleep testing and seeing an ENT dr.. He was told he had large adenoids as a child and they should be removed, They never were but if he has it done now - would that help? I hope that is the problem . Anyone have experience with them being out and being a quieter sleeper?

OKAYY -- i'm almost 15 and i swear, my breasts are the smallest things! I heard from someone that massaging it daily will help it grow, but would applying olive oil while your at it trigger it more?


If not, what would be a good natural substance to add while massaging?

...or if massaging doesn't work, WHAT WILL?

My mother is over fifty years of age, and is quite fragile. She sometimes has pains in her chest that radiates down her left arm and up the left side of her face, but the doctor says this is iron deficiency. I'm pretty sceptical.

My mother also has great pain in her right abdomen and lower middle back, near the area of the kidneys, and blood in her urine. The hospital has done a scan of the area, but they haven't found any kidney stones. Are there any other sorts of illnesses that causes this kind of pain?

Also, she is often short of breath, especially around strong, cloying smells, suffers from insomnia and often lacks energy. Now, all this is VERY worrying to me, but even after a year of visiting her GP there has been no progress, except a few iron tablets. Also, it's not just this GP, but I find that New Zealand hospital care is generally very slack. Anyone got a solution, or a suggestion about what my mother might be suffering from?

Thanks in advance.

I've missed my period a whole month before for doing sexual actions with a partner and i was wondering if maybe the body is holding the period off.

I don't know what's in my own laptop's battery, but mom's laptop says hers has cadmium in it..a cancer causing metal right? So if I sit my laptop on my stomach to watch movies couldn't I maybe develop cancer in my stomach or ovaries from that? The battery would be *right there*.. I don't know..I just thought about it and it kinda creeped me out

My 12-year-old son has eczema on his legs and arms. He has all the lotion he needs to clear it up, but seldom bothers to apply them. When I volunteer or insist to put lotion on his legs and arms, suggest that he does so, or tell him I am going to slather it on him after his bath/shower it invariably turns into a battle or argument. His legs and arms are in such a bad state and I really do want to help.

He has swimming lessons on mondays and thursdays, those are the only times I can put it on him, or else his skin breaks out from the chlorine.

What do you advise?

Is it?

I'm not saying it's dirty or wrong. I enjoy it to the fullest and think it's an absolutely beautiful way of showing love and affection.

But is it a natural urge? I mean...putting part "A" in part "B" serves an evolutionary purpose. A lot of people feel that urge for mankind to carry on.

Where does the urge for oral come from? Just our imaginations?

Thanks.
