My dad had Wagners 3 years ago and now has cancer. Been prescribed these drugs this week and was told it will make him drowsy and hard to move around. Should he still start to take them. He is in a lot of pain.

There have been days when I didn't get much sleep, but I had to wake up. So I took a shower, and voila, I was awake. Why does this happen?

I've started dieting.....or should I say watching VERY CAREFULLY everything I'm eating. I swear, I've almost become obsessed!!! Other than that though, I have turned into a MAJOR *****!!!! I'm not starving myself, so what gives? Why since I've started all this healthy eating have I turned into an emotional monster? I don't even like myself right now! It's like having PMS to an extreme.

i have suffered with this chronic pain now for 4 years and nobody seems to know what is causing it.. The pain i am experiencing feels like somebody is constantly digging their fingers under my ribs, it is always constant but the pain does alter in severity from day to day, and does not seem to be dependant on what i eat or drink. I have been tested for gallstones but these tests have given a negative result. I have been on several websites where there are other people suffering the same as me and some people have reccomended doing a liver flush... has anybody out there tried this

Since about aug. I have had lower back pain and also sharp pain down the back of my leg. I have been taking advil, etc. for the pain. But this has been going for months now and it hasn't gotten better. I know I should go in and get checked, but I somehwat hate going to the Doctor. But, my only concern is that I am 19 so am I to young to have a herniated disk? But, it's to the point where it even hurts when I'm sitting and when I am in bed. The pain seems to be getting worse. Could someone please help me out. Please, no answers that say I should go to the doctor and find out. I know I need to go in, which will probley do so if it is not better by this weekend.

I woke up yesterday morning feeling like I was driving up a hill. You know that feeling when you need to "pop" your ear, but my ear wont pop. When I came to work, I asked a co-worker and she said that her husband experienced the same thing. They went to the ER because he thought he was deaf in an ear, all the did was use one of those $10 ear wax removers that you buy at a drug store. Therefore, I went to a drug store last night and bought one. Afterwards, it felt like it helped a little. When I woke up this mornings, its worse. And now, I have a headache with it. It feels like my head is just full of pressure and i have partial hearing in my left ear. I have no other cold like symptoms however when I was laying on the couch last night my eyes were watering and I got a stuffy nose. But when I stood up, they both went away. Do I need to go to a doctor? What is wrong with me? Anyone experience the same??

I worked on a procedure at a former job and I have hurt my hip, tendon ligaments or knee --all of these symptoms hurt -can't sit down, have to lower myself, thigh has a shooting pain from knee to groin, sitting in car and then having to get out(tightness with pain-until I walk alittle)-hip bone is painful and then shoots to my knee cap-----------hip, knee and like a strand of muscle or tendon or ligaments in thigh. I hobble around and feel like its never going to heal---nothin seems to work. anyone have any idea. ----the work was supposed to be equal weight for each leg--but I did some of it leaning in and using 1 leg only--did not hurt the first day but everyday after---used chiro, and orthopedic surgeon---they took xrays and not much to say---what is damaged muscles, tendon or ligs?--my insurance is not set yet for myself but my wifes insurance helped but the office no longer takes it--so, I am waiting to go---can anyone help me with this---pain an agony daily

It's a really strange injury...I don't know what is it..
I was playing soccer when someone was trying to kick the ball he kicked my foot by mistake directly my foot was hurting a lot...didn't actually have a swalling or something it just hurts a lot and I can't put weight on it..again nothing can appear from the outside..the pain is inside..and hurts a lot...but when I'm just sitting it doesn't hurt..
Another thing...that if I walked for a little seconds the pain disappear but then comes back even harder...

Thanks for any serious answer..

The only vein that seems to cooperate inside the elbows is the left arm. My doctor and a nurse tried my right arm in 4 different spots before having success in the vein on the top of my hand. Is there anything I can do to improve my veins to make this easier or am I stuck with getting stuck a lot?
