I'm semi-new to veganism (no meat, dairy, or eggs) and lately i have been getting pretty bad heartburn... i don't expect it's because of the diet change, but it's possible.. i don't even know what causes heartburn.. am i missing something?

I ruptured on Aug. 12 and had surgery on Aug.18. Began PT this past tues on November 28th. after 15 weeks. Was in a walking boot for the past 7 weeks and weight bearing the last 3 before PT began. I am now in shoes but have a bad limp and walk VERY slowly. My incision is bearly visible as my doctor said that I have healed beautifully. I just hope the tendon has healed as well as the incision. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

The dr. noticed wax build-up in my 11 month old's ear today & diagnosed my son with what he believed was an ear infection. He used a device that looked like a curette- a long, skinny instrument. He used it in my son's ear to remove the wax & my son screamed for 5 minutes in pain from it. Is it possible that this instrument could have poked my son's ear drum when the dr. was trying to remove the wax or is the screaming out in pain a normal reaction from a baby when wax is removed?

I had my acl surgery 5 weeks ago, I'm doing great in my rehab, but my cuadricep and harmstring are still very week, my physical therapist says that I'm probably not going to get my strength and size back until 5 or 6 month, is there a way for me to get them back faster so and balance the strength of both legs

I was adding firewood to the fire and touched a finger to the grate. I checked the first aid kit but I don't have anything. Is there anything around the house I can use? Also it is kind of looks "juicy" looking now. It almosis that normal?

I have had a cold for a few days now and I think it is time to see a doc. My symptoms are sore, scratchy throat, stuffy, runny nose, sneezing, achy body and just recently a cough to kill...I sound like I'm hacking up a lung, LITERALLY! What kind of meds do you think a doctor will prescribe me for such symptoms? Answers from actual doctors would be nice but any answer is much appreciated.

I would really like to participate with my family when they go ice skating but my feet go through excruciating pain after only a couple of minutes of wearing my skates. Besides the classic ladies skate I have tried, mens skates (arches in the wrong spot) and purchased an expensive ladies boot style skate. I've tried different socks etc. but no matter what after just a few minutes in the skate it's like my entire foot goes into a muscle cramp! Does anyone else have this experience? I have a friend who says her feet get cramped after about an hour but she says she is able to just skate it off. In my case the pain is so intense I just have to get the skate off quickly and massage my arches to get my foot flexible again...
can anyone help?
thanks!

For the last few months i keep getting some really nasty bruising and today i have a really large one on the inside of my arm. I have seen my family doctor & she tells me i may be bumping into things & not remembering it. Okay I think i would remember hitting myself that hard. This bruise is bigger than the palm of my hand the bruise is red & almost looks like a stringy design...What could this be? My family doctor is no help so i wont even ask her again.

I thought perhaps it left a splinter and thought I had gotten it out. It was really sore for a few days, but isn't now. It just keeps peeling off layers of skin from a dry center with raised redness around that. Are Palm tree stickers poison? Should I go have this looked at by a doctor or do you think it will just go away eventually?

we are wondering if there is anything hazardous that could be caused by the construction material in the house we live in, such as, the plywood they used to build this house, whenever we turn on our heat which goes through a boiler system we wake up with headaches, we have a natural gas fireplace & cook stove, also i have noticed that there is like a black mold under the caulking in our bathroom around the sink?
