I am talking about leg cramps, and not the womens monthly cramps..lol
I have just recently (within the last 48 hours) being suffering from horrible, nasty and sudden cramps in my right leg. Although im interested in the general cause(s) of cramps i was also wondering if it could be anything to do with a recent knee operation I have had, and my mobility, and recovery from it.
I was due to go to the physio this morning, but stupid me mixed up my dates, and im worried that because my cramping isnt stopping something maybe up.

Occaisionally when I jog in the evenings, in the field behind my house, ATV riders will kick up a whole bunch of dust. I obviously inhale some of this while jogging. Therefore, how harmful is it to inhale dust periodcally in this manner?

Paramedics in Canada, have in the past been told to hyperventilate head injury patients to decrease ICP. I know that I have recently read studies and different guidelines that do not recommend hyperventilation prehospital at all. I am interested in hearing any input either for or against. I have been searching the Canadian Heart and Stroke guidelines for anything related and I can't find what I am looking for. Also, if any medics from other countries have any protocals or guidelines for the same you could share.

I am 27 year old female and since about 2 days my right leg feels like it is asleep. The whole leg tingles and it is getting worse. I didn't injure myself recently - it just started on its own.
I don't have health insurance, but should I consulte a doctor???

I read recently that coffee enemas are the new 'thing' in certain parts of the world. Apparently it is supposed to clear our your rear end thoroughly..and probably means that breaking wind isn't entirely unpleasant for other people too.

I have 2 questions about this:
1) What is it that makes coffee enemas better than water enemas?
2)how did they found out that coffee enemas are so good? Is there some guy in a lab trying out different juices, colas, lagers up his butt before finally discovering that coffee hits the spot?? Does this mean that expresso or cappuchino will have different effects??

(ok thats 3 questions)

When I drive home from work all the lines on the back window of my car run together, and get blurry at the end of my workday. I can barely see the car behind me. I also feel a bit ill when this happens and get headaches. Otherwise I see fine.
