General Health Care - December 2006

I am just wondering if I will be able to function while I am taking it. I don't have arthritis but she gave it to me for my back pain.

I'm taking some and I have a dinner tonight, just wondering if it is dangerous. It says nothing about drinking on my prescription.

I have been diagnosed to have torn Meniscus in my right knee. My left knee also pains a little. While I am a IT professional but play table tennis and lawn tennis as a hobby. I can do may day to day activities without any problem, but unable to play tennis or play soccer with my son. I can still play table tennis, but not that aggressively. Is it better for me :
1. to get a surgery done and get into by hobbies fully or
2. shall I continue with what I can do and not to try harder things
3. Change my lifestyle and avoid aggressive sports activities

I'm 14 and I woke up this morning suddenly with really bad back pain. I haven't done anything different at all lately from what I normally do, but it really hurts. I am a little sick, but the back pain is kinda bad. What is it and what should I do?

I need to have minor surgery, and they offered to anesthetize me via a "spinal." (epidural) Is getting the needle as painful as it sounds? Can anyone describe their experience with it?

I tan at least twice a week and I just started taking antibiotics for an infection yesterday. I was planning on tanning tonight just the same even though it says on the label not to be in the direct sun while taking the antibiotics. I'm already pretty tan so I don't see how I could burn, but what other way can it affect you?

I was learning to do a front drop, from knees- crouching - to eventually standing, I didnt level my body horizontally enough and sort of did a worm type move! my feet hit the trampoline first, then my shins, knees etc then my back and then face. I felt pain in back immediatly and is still hurting now when I move.

This happene 2 weeks ago, any ideas what I could have done to my back?? merry christmas

About a week ago, I felt a small ache on my left side of my chest, down near the bottom of my ribcage. I had been coughing a lot from a cold the previous week, and now that ache has blown up into a pretty painful area. I am not having any trouble breathing, I can take a deep breath, it just makes that area hurt when I do. However, when I bend over or double over, I can cough or take a deep breath with a LOT less discomfort, or if I pull the skin away from my ribcage. I am able to sleep normally, and when I wake up, it feels a lot stiffer on that left side, and it hurts when I attempt to lift myself up, then when I am up it feels better.

The reason I ask here is because for one, I have no health insurance and would like to avoid a trip to the emergency room if at all possible, if I have to go in, I will of course, screw the money. Also, about 20 years ago my father had an attack of Pleurisy, and I want to make sure it's not a lung issue. Thanks!

My husband spends his entire shift and any over time, walking on concrete and asphalt (he works in a fuel yard). His shins, feet, ankles and heels are so sore it leaves him gimpy/lame. Are there any special 'kind' of shoe/boot (like for instance 'nurses' shoes) or particular brand (Nike, Converse, Wolverine) that would help allievate his pain during his shift? I realize that padding will help but is one brand better than another? Anyone experience this? I'm not looking for them as a gift for him but as a tool to help ease his pain. I would appreciate your input, please.
