My dad's right arm/shoulder has been in alot of pain lately, and he's losing mobility in it, fast, with no apparent reason. I mean, he's having trouble picking things up, and, it's even getting harder for him to just lift his arm up in general. It seems like he is losing strength in the arm. It's becoming apparent to me that the muscles in his arm seems like they are degenerating just by looking at it. We've tried massaging it, stretching it, resting it, ice, heat packs, but to no avail. I just seems like it's getting worse.

He's in his late 50's and he works in a typical factory job does typical factory things like drive a forklift, carry things here and there, etc.. nothing too strenuous. To my knowledge, he hasn't gotten injured in any way, so, I'm clueless, and the doctor's seem to be as well.

Please help. Any type of advice would be greatly appreciated. I am extremely worried.

Thanks

I feel the normal pressure in my ears like everyone else, but it increases as the plane descends. The pressure travels up my sinuses and I feel intents pressure in my eyebrow - a throbbing pain. The last time it happened it hurt so bad my eyes started watering and I had to apply pressure on my eyebrow to stop some of the pain. It subsides a little upon landing but it takes almost all day before the pressure finally goes away. This has only happened twice but I don't want it to happen again. Does anyone know what this is and how to prevent it?

I got a tattoo on my wrist 5 days ago and was told not to swim for 3 weeks until it heals. I'd like to continue swimming, so I'm looking for a way to waterproof the area. Anybody know how to effectively do this?

Thanks!

I've been smoking for about 20 years and enough's enough. The cigarettes I'll miss the most are: the 1st of the morning, and after a heavy meal.

How did other people cope?

my grandfather just lost his footing on the stair by my back patio and hurt his shoulder. he says he can move it if his other arm supports it but it is painful to try to move it by itself. he says he doesn't believe that he has broken it, but i was wondering if there are any doctors out there who could possible give me an idea of what he actually hurt. thank you very much.
