My son ear wax is very thick and black in colour. Every time we try to dig his ear, he claims that is very paintful.

I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter who is potty training. We live in a two story duplex and the bathroom is upstairs. My doctor has told me not to continue to go up and down the stairs continuously throughout the day as I have a slipped disk in my back. We have a potty seat down stairs because my daughter can't go to the bathroom by herself yet. My problem is this: after she pees, is it okay to pour the urine down the kitchen sink drain? This is the same sink that I do dishes in daily. I mean, as long as I use boiling water and bleach, shouldn't this be okay? What do you think?

I fell down my stairs a couple of weeks ago and badly hurt my right foot. I have had an x ray and it's not broken but it is extremely painful and the swelling hasn't gone. When I poke my finger into the swollen part it leaves a mark for about a minute. I've heard this is water retention and I was wondering how to get rid of it? I've also heard that wearing flip flops is worse than wearing a full shoe, but if i wear anything other than my toe posts it's even more painful. Is this true? Or can I continue wearing my toe posts?

I often wonder why people aren't more proactive about their health when it's well within their power to extend their lifespans, increase their quality of life, and look wonderful - just by adopting healthy behaviours.

This is probably the 4th time this has happened to me for the month. Whenever I dream, I wake up with a headache and a major tension behind my neck. What causes this?

I developed tendonitis in both wrists working as a teamster in a warehouse last summer. Most of the time it's fine, but I work in an office and the typing sometimes upsets it. I also ride my bicycle everywhere rather than driving, and I get pain shooting down my wrists when I ride. I have custom splints but they are too stiff to wear when typing or riding. I prefer not to take ibuprofin or other painkillers any more often than is absolutely necessary.

I plan to see my doctor about this sometime in the next couple of months, but if anyone has any short-term solutions or suggestions, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
