Sometimes it looks as though my skin is puffy and kind of red and mottled, but there is never any rash or peeling or anything else associated with excema or other skin conditions I've seen. During the day, it doesn't happen -- just about after suppertime..... Oh, and if I press on one area on my foot, I can feel it in another area, mostly at the tips of my toes. It seems like a nerve problem, maybe?

I went to a really fun water park with my kids today and in one of the pools that I was in, I got too close to the bottom with my knees and scraped up my knee really bad....

about and hour ago, I cleaned my scrape again with that "NO HURT" cleansing wash for minor cuts and scrapes...and it didn't hurt AT ALL...I just wanted it clean from germs...so then, I put neosporin and a bandaid on it....now it hurts WORSE.....I wonder WHY???? The neosporin is Maximum strength pain releiver ointment....so..uh...why is it still hurting?.....HOW WEIRD!

My Grandmother was in perfect health up until two years ago when she took a nasty fall. As a result, she had a hip/knee replacement and now walks with a cane. The leg is no problem as she still drives and takes pool aerobics; however, she has since acquired very severe hand arthritis, which is speculated to be caused from using the cane.

She is 96 years old and has no other health problems. She is only taking 200mg of Celebrex at bedtime, vitamins and a JD on the rocks at 5:00PM. Any suggestions to relieve the pain will be appreciated.

I REALLY love to walk....but doing it is so hard, when I work 3 jobs and don't have the energy to get up and dress for the walk. My skin is starting to get lose...and crinkle and I'd like to know if anyone knows if walking would plump up my muscles & tissue UNDER my skin, so that would get minimized...?

I want to say first of all I am in the class of people who can't sleep. I have to take Ambien each night. I stopped for a while but my nights just got to much for me to handle so my doctor put me back on this stuff.

My question is when I was on ambien for three years before it would only take me 30 minutes to be sound asleep. Now since I am back on it my body wants to fight and not shut down and sleep. What is the problem here?
Could it be because my 17 yr old son is serisouly having health problems right now I am stressed and my body is over taking the ambien? My thinking process won't shut down.
Any answers would be apperciated.

Just in the last 24 hours my back has had this weird pain mostly on the left side, up in the soft muscle area by my shoulder blade. I found that if i bend my neck and head toward it sends a sharp pain down the upper left side. Anyone know what this might be, or is this just some general thing that will pass? Thanks!

I have acid reflux which despite medication acts up now and then if I eat too much near night.

In the middle of the night I jump up out of bed as I throw up in my mouth.

I take antacid and drink some water and then milk, but on some nights I cannot get that awful awful taste out of my mouth and back of my throat. Water makes it worse.

For some reason after it happens I keep coughing and coughing and each time I cough, more of that taste comes up.

Does anyone have a food or drink to recommend that will take away that taste?

... any maybe something that will stop that awful coughing up of possibly vomit that it still in my throat for some reason?
