I've only recently seen this quirky ad for a pain reliever that you roll-on...your noggin! This seems awfully suspect. Has anybody actually bought this stuff, tried it and can honestly say it worked better than Motrin, Tylenol or Excederine?

I injured one of the tendons behind my knee while playing soccer. I lost balance and landed with all my weight on my leg. I made the mistake of leaving it alone for about a week, going to work and not resting it very well but after that I began bandaging it and taking Advil. It has been an other week (2 after the injury). It hurts a lot less and I can move it almost normally. It is only in some positions that I still feel real pain. I do feel stiff and a slight discomfort (as on a minor tendinitis). What should I do now? Should I keep bandaging and resting it? Should I exercise it? How long until I can go back to play soccer? Thanks for your help

ok im 14 yrs old having pain around my left knee for like 3yrs or so and its hurts everyday in side its, hurts to even press slightly on the outside. I also notice that my legs leg is smaller than my right legs, could that be cause by the pain around my knee? I went to the orthopedist they give my knee a x-ray than tell me to get a mri scan. Then one day they call me and told my that they dont know wats wrong with it even though there is pain. Wat should i do? help!

1) I pulled (my thigh muscle) exactly 24 hours ago kickin a soccer ball,I felt a popping then I iced it immediately and took anti-inflammatories.

2) Initially it hurt to touch the bruised area but now i can massage it after icing with minimal to no discomfort.

3) I can voluntary bend my leg inwards with no pain, but cannot extend it outwards on its own, because it feels like i get an instant cramp on the spot i pulled the muscle and it hurts.

4) I can squat and stand with no pain (maybe because im not using that muscle)

5) After icing i've been taping it up with those elastic bandages like the ace ones.

6)I've been consuming plenty of proteins such as milk and dairy. Will it help speed up recovery, and what other food can take to help.

a) Is this a mild, moderate or severe tear/sprain.
b) What else can I do apart from R.I.C.E to speed up recovery
c) Any other USEFUL information that can help would be appreciated.

This is supposed to be used when you have a puncture wound, or bee sting...it draws toxins out. I found a recipe for it which calls for activated charcoal powder - a lot of it. This stuff is like working with pure coal, it turns everything black. Is there another ingrediant I could use?

Medically talking, why do people cry? What makes them cry? I notice that some people start to cry even if they don't feel like they want to. And it just happens. Can you tell me why?

How long will i be in a cast for?
