I get a sharp hot rip feel on my knee cap after I stand back up from bending down at the knee. Some days it just aches and is real tight feeling when I bend it. If you have had knee issues and seen the doc... just trying to see what it is before I go. Did you have to have any fluid removal by needle?

I had back surgery (L5-S1 Laminectomy) about 5 years ago and have alot of lower back and left leg discomfort. I receive epidural steroid shots in my back occasionally but the relief is short-lived.

I have had a broken toe before. I know exactly what it feels like. I jsut stubbed my toe on a chair and it broke. I heard that crack and so did my mom. I was wondering what should I do to help it heal? i dont have the money to go to the doctor. My insurance will pay for an urgent care visit or an emergency room visit but I would rather not go to the ER for a toe, im sure someone would laugh. I am in the health field and i know there isnt much they can do except x-ray it and say yah its broken. So what should I do to help it feel. What supplies do i need? thanks so much for the advice! Angie

Is this interesting to you? Do you think it would be worthwhile? for example: How would you like doctors to speak with you. What changes would improve your relationship with your doctor?

How come you can be prosecuted for impersonating a police officer but not for posing as an EMT or Paramedic.

What changed in me on my 65th birthday? I diidn't notice anything, and I'm still in robust health 20 years later. Perhaps a Doctor's certificate would enable older folk to continue giving blood? (I'm a male)
