He is physically fitter than me as he has an active job, yet in hot temperatures he sweats easily. He says his body is more efficient at cooling itself down, whereas i don't sweat until it gets really hot but it think that my body can cope with the heat better and does not need to lose liquid to cool down. Friends of ours who are Bristish but live in Spain, hardly sweat at all.

We tried both calcium syrups and oil massage with hot-bag. First one proved to be no effect. Second is showing temporary relief. Can anybody explain this why ?

I think it may be some kind of vitamin deficiency, but I think I eat pretty healthily? Any ideas?

Well right now I'm not only suffering through 2 really bad ear infections, but also a cold.

So today I wake up and you know how there sometimes are crusty stuff in your eye..... things? Well I had TONS of that stuff only watery sort of , and then there was dry crusty crusty stuff all around my eyes stuck in between my eyelashes. Thankfully I got rid of it. But one of my eyes is REALLY pink and I just don't know what's going on.

My 75 year old mother woke up this morning complaining of a sore spot on her leg that hurts and is hot to the touch. The spot is on/within one of many existing varicose veins on her right calf. I've been searching for symptoms to decide if we should be concerned enough to bring her to the ER or if it can wait until her doctor can see her on Monday but I'm finding conflicting results.

Thoughts? Comments? Opinions? Same experience? Treatment at home?

I am 99% sure I've just had a mild meniscus tear. I've got an MRI scan scheduled for early next week.

I was doing quick squats and my knee collapsed and I think that is where the injury occurred. I was lifting lightweights trying to recondition because I haven't been well conditioned since I stop training after the Olympic Games in Torino.

My problem is that I'd due to compete on the World Cup circuit in my sport in late November.

Question 1:- For those that have arthroscopy how long until you are fully fit again and have full range of motion? And does the post-op cause you to loose any speed or power?

Question 2: Who is the best knee surgeon in your area. Or the best knee surgeon in your country?

Only serious answers please.
Thanks.

2 days ago i had went 4wheeling with a friend of mine. We were on the trail and all of a sudden i hit a patch of rocks off to the side of the trail and with it being so dry out, i slid through the sand, and i flew off of the 4 wheeler and i think i might've broken my tailbone. My butt is all bruised, it has big patches of like pitch black bruises on it. Ive been trying to hold off going to the ER because I keep hearing theres nothing they can do but i've been in horrible pain ever since then. Everytime i sit down or get up, or even move to walk or anything its so painful. Also, it feels like i did something to my neck. All of my muscles in my neck feel pulled and it hurts to turn my neck certain ways... Should i wait it out a little longer to see if the pain gets any better?

This morning I saw that my husband had dried blood in his ear. So obviously over night he was bleeding from his ear. He says it's nothing, but I'm worried. He's machinist and works with machines every day. He told me that the machines are not loud. But even if he thinks that they are not loud, they can still damage his ears, right? I told him to go to the doc to check it out, but because he thinks that it's nothing significant, he won't go to the doc. What shall I do? Is ear bleeding always a sign of something bad?

I was involved in a traffic accident Thursday night and was transported then after to the hospital for treatment. Yesterday, my shoulder started hurting worse, and my neck is starting to throb. I was wondering whether or not I should go back to the ER. I don't want the insurance adjuster to get upset because I went again. What should I do?
