I woke up this morning with a swollen eye lid and the eye feels really sore. Could it be a sty? What does a sty look like? And what are you suppost to do about it?

I broke my foot four years ago. Over the past few months it has begun to stiffen on certain days. At times it is very difficult to walk. I am wondering if previously broken bones have a greater risk of arthritis?

For the past few years, I've been noticing my knees make a crunching, cracking sound when I bend them, a lot after I go biking. There's no pain but sometimes just a pressure. It reminds me of how it feels when I need to crack my knuckles and sounds like it too. What gives?

I just started grad school and have to read for hours and hours every day. I don't like sitting at the table while reading. I went to a school for children with back pains, and we used to read and write in classes while laying on the stomach, with a "triangle" underneath the chest so that chest and shoulders were elevated and we could write . Have any one heard of any devices that will allow me to read while laying down and yet be back pain-conscious? What's the most ergonomic way to read for long periods of time? Thanks!!!

I have been prescribed Darvocet and Tramadol. Neither are REAL opiates, but I will tell all of you that Tramadol, on an empty stomach, DOES give you an opiate high. I am not sure if Darvocet is used recreationally, though? I've heard you can get a similar feeling to Vicodin, is this true?

I've been drinking Bragg (2 tblspoons) with water 2 times a day for about 2 weeks........and I have noticed i feel better, though I hate cringe with the taste. I just wanted to hear anyone's personal stories if they have had any great benefits from it.....and is it a bad thing after time......I worry about the acid from it over time. But like I said...I do feel better.

... . ..who can tell me whether or not they can get a prescription to obtain an over-the-counter medicine? The one I'm thinking of now costs me triple what it did when my insurance paid part and I only paid 'co-pay'.
My reason for asking is the prelude to my own attempt to get a prescription - I figure if Medicare or Medicaid helps the poor get needed medication - which they should - then maybe my insurance carrier should continue to pay their part for the stuff I need even though it has been removed from the prescription list.
You need not be on Welfare to answer if you know the answer. Thanks.

I either pinched a nerve or pulled a muscle riding horses. I've been in and out of the hospital, and it takes forever to get in to see the doctor. It's virtually impossible. Well, it's getting better, bet only very slowly. Can anyone suggest something to do to get rid of the pain? I tried drinking, but six margaritas didn't do it, and my husband had to help me stumble up the stairs. Help!

My eye has recently been twitching. It is my right eye, on the lower lid towards the right corner.

Why is this?
Someone said to me that it means something goods going to happen?!
Someone also said to me its because of stress?

All your answers are appreciated, apart from the stupid ones.

would you take babies that already had a mother, or give the mother $2 million so that she could keep the baby and make a better life for herself? Or would you adopt a baby that had no parents at all? I wish Angelina would not have taken that baby girl from her mother, I have yet to see that kid smile, she always looks sad and miserable. Just my opinion.
