For the past week I have had progressive pain in my right hand during the night. I did some research and found that I have all the symtoms of Carcal Tunnal Sydrom. Two nights ago I had a lot of pain, but last night it got even worse. I have been up for an hour now, and I still have a lot of pain. When I initally woke last night, I soaked my hand in hot water and it helped a lot. I did the same thing the next 3 time I woke and this morning, but it is not helping. I am in a lot of pain right now and I need to know some immediate relief as I don't think I can deal with this much pain much longer. Please help.

I need a double knee replacement operation, but doctors in the UK are reluctant to carry this out on the grounds of my age, arguing that I would be likely to need the replacements themselves replaced twice if I live to average UK life expectancy. The doctors are working on the assumption that replacement knees have only a ten year lifespan, but I have heard of people having replacements which are still going strong after 15 years.

Can anyone who has had one or both knees replaced (or a surgeon with joint replacement experience) give me details of the type of replacement recieved, the manufacturer and your experiences since the operation. I would be very interested in hearing from anybody who has recieved Japanese titanium knees which I have anecdotely heard good reports about.

Been chasing the tiny blighter around my Lounge for hours. Spraying hasn't worked. It zooms in when my back is turned.....bites.....and disappears.

I had wacked my foot on the radiotor dancing ( i kicked it) and it went reli swollen n it hurts even when I touch jus the top of the skin. I went to ER and the x-rayed it and it was normal no I woke up this morning and I can hardly moved it (its the bone that connects to the big toe) except the big toe doesnt hurt just the bone. anyway the X-ray was normal. They said it was just soft tissue damage but I'm pretty sure its not just that ?

My boyfriend has tendonitis in his sholders and biceps. What exercises should he be doing to help heal his shoulders and biceps? He doesn't have the money for to see a physical therapist let alone have any surgical work on it. Do any of you know any ideas for exercises for him? All answers will be greatly appreciated :0) thanks!

Help! I am recently engaged and love my engagement ring. Only problem is, since I have been wearing it, I have experienced hand pain - specifically, stiffness in my ring finger in the first joint, stiffness in thumb, and soreness down my forearm on the outer side. My ring is total 1.5 carat weight probably, and my hand is very small (size 4 finger). Has anyone else had this problem?

That is: does brushing merely massage your scalp or does it stimulate your mind, and make it less easy for you to fall asleep? Or is it vice versa where it makes the hair grow during sleep as other moleculaes are synthesised in your brain during rest?

I was lifting some heavy boxes yesterday and now my back hurts. The pain isn't coming from my muscles, but more from my spine. The pain isn't really that bad though. What should I do?

Anti-inflammatory drugs seem to upset my dog's stomach so I'd like to give her vicodin or ultram (tramadol) occasionally if she's in bad pain. But I want to make sure these drugs can safely be used in canines. My god is four years old, 8 pounds, half pomeranian/half poodle. I'd like some advise about this. What would be the correct dose? Thank you!
