I'm just wondering, aside from having bad diet/exercise habits, are there any other ways to get heart damage?

When getting critical surgery in the USA, does one have to pay before or after the surgery is conducted?

What if one cannot afford it? What are some financing options?

Here's a two part question......I have arthritis in my knees but I try to stay active. I walk/slow jog a few nights a week. I take the stairs whenever possible and stretch regularly. My legs still feel achy from my feet to thighs. Since I am only 40 and otherwise in decent shape, I'm not real interested in taking meds. (Doc says it's just the arthritis and wants to push pills on me.) Is it possible that my footwear is more of a problem than my arthritis??? I wear just basic athletic shoes (read...cheap) instead of "Walking" shoes for regular activities or "Running" shoes when I go on my Walk/jogs. Do you REALLY need to buy the more expensive shoes? Do they really make a difference in how your feet and legs feel, even hours after an activity????

Obviously, this is a hard one to answer, but, the mechanism of dying is in all of us. I think, that no matter what you die of, even though you may feel pain at first, your brain creates an altered, almost 'mind tripping' state of conciousness to make the transition so we dont know it's even happening. Or this could just be an adrenaline rush - What do you's think??

On monday i blew my vocal chords in the first 5 minutes of rehearsal from overdoing it without warming up. I have a huge gig on Friday and as of tonight (wed) I'm still in big trouble. Is there anything I can take or do to speed up recovery to restore my singing voice for the convert on Friday?

They say you should not stay in a 95 db environment for more than 10 minutes to avoid permanent ear damage, and you should take a break for 5 minutes if you do decide to stay. Is that just to lower your exposure time or do breaks actually let your ear thingies(forgot name) recuperate after "damage accumulation"? Like do they get worse and worse during the 10 min of 95 db and heal without permanent damage after the 5 minute break, and they are ready for another 10 min of 95 db without any permanent damage?

Is this a nerve related problem? Some kind of nervous disorder perhaps? What can I do to relieve the pain? Does anyone else out there experience this same problem?

I have constant pain in my lower abdominal area and the inside of my uterus high up which gets worse during my period but is excuriating every day. I've had a tumor and two cysts removed off of my fallopian tube and ovary. My last pap smear said I had severly abnormal pre-cancerous cells. I don't have much money and can't see a doctor and the hospitals can't figure out exactly what's wrong with me. Can anyone please tell me what is going on and how I can get help I can't take living in pain much longer. I would love to hear from anyone who also is living with these symptoms. Plus when I have intercourse with my husband if he enters all the way there is a spot that causes so much pain I have passed out. help please.
