I just bought shampoo from Dove. On my shampoo it says beautifully clean and on the conditioner it says beautiful care. They both have the same type of descrition, for normal hair weightless moisturizers and are exactly alike word to word. Is that ok? Do they do together?

About 3 and a half weeks ago, my fiance and I slept together and I was supposed to start my period the next week but never did. A few days ago, I began to have lower back pain, horrible, sharp-shooting pains in my lower tummy, (menstrual area) and then I started to bleed a lot. I went to the bathroom and (sorry, this is going to sound gross) it felt like I was passing a large blood clot. I looked but it was not a blood clot. It was some kind of white-ish colored human tissue that was covered in blood. I'm guessing it was about the size of a golf ball. Is it actually possible to have a miscarriage a little over 3 weeks after conception and be able to feel and see something come out? I apologize, I know this was somewhat graphic. Please help and advise.

I was biten about 30 times by small black ants yesterday and nothing is working to stop the itch. What is interesting is that only the bites on my feet itch, but that is enough, I can't handle any more than that. Currently I am using Calamine lotion as I have found it works best, but there are still some stubborn bites that just don't stop itching. What is the best thing out there to relieve the itch and reduce swelling that does not have to be applied immediately after the bite? I've tried deoterant in the past, and it seems to work pretty well, but what else it there?

I had my short leg walking cast removed today. The orthopedic doctor didnt give me any exercises or anything to do to get my foot/ankle/calf muscles back into shape. They are so sore. It hurts so bad to walk on it.I know it will be stiff for a while. How can I help it so it isnt so stiff? Thanks!

Have had a slightly enlarged lymph node on and off for quite some time. It is on the right side/back of neck at hairline. It is now as big around as a quarter, hard and painful, not as mobile. The tenderness and swelling (no redness) extends beyond the node and has persisted for 3+ days with no signs of shrinking. Hurts to move head. It is not a cyst, definitely is a node. I have researched all the lymph node sites but none describe what I am experiencing. I know swollen lymph nodes indicate infection, but this is different than swollen lymph nodes in the front of my neck that I have had with the flu....Any ideas? Serious answers only please.

i stained a muscle in my upper back about 6 days ago, and it's still bothering me. I finally read some information and found out that I was taking care of it wrong... I had been applying heat ever since it happened and now i read that's bad and it should be ice to contract the blood vessels... Now there's a light bruise and I'm wondering if this is going to affect recovery time at all, or if it's just going to add to the discomfort? or any other info you might have on the subject would be much appreciated

I can not work because of this, but I can not get disability. I can not bend over to put shoes on, or even pick up my son which weights 25 pounds. They want me to do physical theropy, and see a specialtist. I have seen 4 different doctors, one said I had Arthritist, 2 said I had a deterated disc and pinched nerve,3 said I just needed to streach,4 said my mucles bunch up when I stress. My regular doctor said that my mri said I had a Disc Protrusion which was not pinching a nerv, just touching it. How accurate is the mri anyway. Back problems run on both sides of my family. Some mornings when I wake up I can not walk. I can not get disability but I can not work either. I have a wife that is 7 months pregent, a son that is 7 years old and a son that is 1 and a half years old. I had the only income until I went down. I get 136 a week with unemployment but I am loosing my insurence now. I figured if I could find a job I would take it anyway.

I know Percocet is oxycodone but they only come in 5mg and 10 mg tablets. It looks to me Oxycontin 40 mg would be a lot stronger . don't you agree.

By this, I mean, will more harm be done if you, say, mow the lawn, ears unprotected for an hour, or listen to music, at the same decible level, for the same amount of time? Or is there no difference?

My wrist it broken in 3 places, two cracks going across my growth plate on my Radius, and one V-shaped rack on the tip of my Ulna, I don't get my cast off for several more weeks, but do you think I could be subject to physical therapy once it is off? It was a pretty bad impact. (rockclimbing)
