Hip replacement surgery is not an option right now, but walking is getting to be fairly painful. I have tried taking an anti-inflammatory before going shopping but it doesn't appear to help much anymore. Is there anything else that can be done prior to shopping or a day out that will help?

I am in India and a friend had a motorcycle accident- the hospital sent him him back to hotel with an elastic girdle type thing around his mid-section and a sling for his arm. From the x-rays, it doesn't appear to have been re-set. Is this normal? Will the bones just find each other as they heal or will they heal crooked?

Please help! In every job I have, I can't wake up in the morning to get there on time! I am ALWAYS 5-10 minutes late, on a good day, and nothing works to get me out of bed. It's like when I wake up I am still asleep and I don't hear any alarm clocks ( I set 3 different ones), and my mum stands and shouts but I sleep through it.
I have tried early nights but the longer I sleep for, the less I want to get up!
Please recommend something as I am starting my ideal job soon and don't want to be late!

I am contemplating trying a weightloss drug. And my doctor told me to do some research and he would give me whatever I felt more comfortable with. I also have chronic fatigue syndrome and my doc told me that there are some weight loss drugs out there that also give you energy boosts. If anyone has any information, I would appreciate it.

I am having eye burning issue from past 2 months. I consulted the few Doctors & the problem still exists. I am in Bangalore, India. I took all the eye drops that Doctors suggested. I even did some of the excersises that are related to eye improvement(this is also suggested by Doctor). Since I use computers , Doctors mentioned that this is due to the dryness of eyes. I even tried staying away from Aircooling facility & so on. The problem still exists. The problem is not contineous. Some time it exists & some times it does not. Kindly help to resolve this.

Just got up from an attack. Good old (expensive Imitrex), but I've always wanted to know why tyl 3's and demerol only knock you out and not the pain. I've had surgery and tyl 3s took care of that pain.

Was at home last night, threw something across the room, after the object was thrown my handf carried on moving and hit my thumb onto the back of the sofa, which is a hard object. At first it hurt badly and i couldnt use it at all, but still had the feeling in it so dont think it is broken. I put some icecubes in a blue Jay cloth and pressed that onto it for a while which helped a little. This morning it is very swollen and very painful and I cant move it without causing more pain. Is it worth bothering a doctor about? Would they be able to do anything? I've only been to one twice before so forgive me for the silly question. I don't want to waste their time.

weeks ago i was randomly rotating my eyes to the very left of me and I heard something crack, it hurt alot and i just slept on it hinkin whatever its a crack ive probably had many of those before..I then took pics after and it seemed as if my right eye were turned in a little and pushed in..i went to my doc and she said yea, it did but a few milimeters away..i was very shocked because this NEVER happened to me..i went to an optomologist and she told me to wear my eye glasses every second where my other eye docs told me only for the tv. and computer..everytime I take pics now and compare them to the ones i had two months ago, they look different..ive been waiting and waiting every day and it has been an opsession and my eyes wont go back to normal..my parents dont want to take me to another optomologist because they said the insurance wont pay again..what do I do?? I really dont want to deal with this..im just wishing one day i can wake up with my old eyes back..please pray for me!

they rest on your eyes, between your eyes and right? like they sit on top of your eyeballs like glasses would on your face...it sounds stupid that they would be in your eyes..and they defend it by saying if you get poked do you get poked in your eye or on your eye..

I have this tingling feeling in my last two toes on my left foot. Sometimes it goes away. The other problem I am having is involuntary muscle twitches mostly in my forearms and biceps. I have done a little research and found out that these could be symptoms of MS. To be honest, I am little scared of going to see a doctor about this in fear of hearing bad news.

I realize more and more that I am tense all the time. My muscles in my neck and sholders are always up and clenched. The weird this is that I'm not stressed. I'm just always tense. When I sleep it gets worse and sometimes I my sholder gets so tense in the night that I wake up from it. What is wrong?

i m young, 14. for years, my knees have hurt off and on. i used to be a gymnasts so that did put a lot of pressure on my knees. now i run and play soccer. my knees also hyperextend (maybe about 15-30 degrees farther then normal). my track trainer said that this causes my knee joints to crush my tendons, which is probably why my knees hurt. sometimes they hurt even when i havent done any sports that day. the pain is mainly under and bellow my knee cap. is it the hyperextending that causes this pain? what can i do to help it? email me if u want any other details. thnx
