General Health Care - July 2006

I've Been drumming for 14 years, I started when I was 6, I am now 20. Just recently my right wrist has hurt severely. I can barely bend it back while my left hand I can bend it and rotate it as much as I want. The trouble is in my right wrist, thats what I use on the Hi-Hat. Like I stated the problem just started happening it hurts to even push myself up out of bed or even pick up anything heavy. Any Help?

Severe nerve trauma. Broken left mandible in 1999. SFGH doctors placed metal plate and did severe nerve damage. Plate removed two years later. Third UNNECESSARY surgery 2003 incision outside face major damage. Pain: neck muscles, teeth, gums, nerves: lips, uncontrollable spasms, must massage constantly. Think about suicide often, but I am a fighter. Pain so intense I can not smile or laugh, difficulty breathing and chewing (digesting food). Teeth do not align properly. Jaw does not rest comfortably, must move constantly, can not control pressure of muscles biting down, always tense muscles. Assymetrical face, left side droops due to third surgery. I had broken jaw in 1988 with just wiring the teeth, no metal plate, healed fine, no nerve damage. (private hospital, good specialist) Never have metal plate put on jaw. Wiring the teeth is enough. I am open to any ideas. Any kind of volunteer cutting edge new technology or surgery is not too outlandish for me. Any suggestions

My husband hates when I use the bar of soap right after him. But isn't soap clean? I mean, if he puts germs on it, do I get the germs when I use the soap?

I haven't been diagnosed, but I'm pretty sure I have sleep apnea. I wake up several times a night gasping for air after snoring for a bit. (So says my bf). I was just wondering if poor sleep can cause weight gain, even if you get plenty of exercise and eat well?

I am scheduled for surgery on my medial miniscus. How long was your recovery? How long was your physical therapy? What do I need to know about this surgery before I have it? Any tips on a quick recovery?

Do you workout everyday, DRINK COFFEE, or soda, or tea or get a lot of sleep, or take a supplement, or drink Redbull or other "energy drinks, are you a runner, have you just always been an upper/hyper type?" Do you HAVE enough energy or do you wish you had more?

I've just started playing tennis and both of my "big" toenails have cracked WAY down by base. The toenails are still connected, but I'm afraid they will soon get ripped off. I'm wearing good, tennis specific shoes with plenty of room in them. What can I do?!? I don't want to have messed up toenails! (And it hurts, too!)

I threw up 3 times late Monday night (technically early Tuesday) and had the runs 4 times Tuesday. Since Tuesday, I had no episodes. Thanks goodness.

Upon my doctor's visit, he told me that whatever I ate had to been 2 days ago, and then got sick. He also said it had to come from either meat, chicken, or seafood. I pinpointed that it was a hamburger from In N Out. He ran a blood test to see if I may have bacteria. If I do, then I would need to take antibiotics.

I'm still waiting for the results. In the meantime, I still feel tired and my appetite is not so good. However, I do use the BRAT diet method (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast). Also, I still have indigestion, but the doctor advised me to take a Pepsid every day for a week to get all the acid out.

Has anyone encountered food poisoning like this? And if so, how long does it take to be back to yourself?
