What can I do to get over a cold by this weekend? I have been taking Dayquil so far. Does anything shorten it besides Zicam. I hesitate to use it after that lawsuit. Any opinions?

I have this really gross ingrown hair that keeps getting all yucky but no matter what I do, I can't get it to come out. Short of surgically removing this thing, I'm stumped as to how to get rid of it.

My boyfriend the other night was fell asleep on the couch. When he woke up he noticed the time and jumped up to go to the bathroom. After he went to the bathroom he fainted right out in the middle of the bathroom floor. Scared me to Death!! He said he got up to fast & felt nauses and then fainted.

Has this ever happened to any of you? I've never heard of it. I've gotten up too fast before but I just felt a little dizzy & got over it quickly. It just worries me he fainted! Thanks & Happy Holidays!

Ever since Sunday I have had a discomfort ,swelling, and bruising from the hard landing.Now, I am a big guy (6'2'', 275 lbs..),what may have occured in terms of my injuries.....I have no broken bones, but the swelling and pain makes it hard to start walking or to be comfortable at all.

About 3 years ago I tore my crucial ligament playing football… They had to operate on my knee to realign the ligaments again; I completed 6 months of physiotherapy and was told me knee has fully recovered!

It’s been 3 years now and my knee will still gets very tight and stiff if I walk or stand on it for long periods of time (nothing happens to my right knee) also when the weather is cold outside my knee will be in a lot of pain and once it start to walk the pain gets even worse, I have tried pain killer they do not help. I have been to see my doctor, actually I have lost count now how many times I have been they keep saying its because I am overweight, I don’t believe this to be true as nothing is wrong with my right knee; I just think they are just using my weight against me to stall as the NHS is overloaded and cant take new patient.

Does anyone know what I can do to ease my pain or how to fully recover as its been 3 years now and still I am in pain. Does anyone else suffer from the same problem I have and what have you done to get better? Is it worth me going to a knee specialist and does anyone know how much it will cost?

i had surgery last october on my knee (lateral release) and the pain this year is worse then it was before surgery. Ive been told many times that its just the weather, but the weather cant effect it like this all freakin year! I had a cordison shot once before surgery and it actually made the pain worse. My original ortho now lives in SC, and there are many other doctors at the practice, but i dont want to have to go through the same thing over again with another doc. What should i do? ive tried all sorts of different pain meds, ice, physical therapy (3 times), and then finally last year with the surgery...whats next?

My right knee is stiff a bit swollen and I'm having difficulty bending it properly, I dont remember any significant cause but am wondering how you know if it's fluid or something else? I know I should ideally rest it up but it being Christmas week I am so busy at work I cant really let the team down and take time off. Any suggestions?

I dropped something heavy on my foot last night and it hurts really bad. I got shooting pains in my foot and keep getting pins and needles. I dont think the bone is broken although it is sticking up a bit and i cant touch as it hurts so much. The area is bruised. Do you think i should get this checked out?

Thanks!

I had my band practice today and while I was practicing on my mouth-piece ( I'm in the trumpet section) I suddenly could not play.No matter how hard I blast there wasn't a single note that i could play. So as I removed my mouth-piece I felt a strange sensation on my lips.

Upon close inspection I realized it was swollen.. But it was not the usual swollen -- the kind you get during warm-up.. It's like as if it's filled with air bubble. When I touched it it felt kinda jelloid in a way AND it felt numb too.The swollen part was also a different shade of colour from my lips.

So what on earth is that? What had caused that and how do I avoid it in the future? Please do help cause it's kinda scary and it's interfering with my warm-ips.. I couldn't play for an hour till the swelling went down.. (:

Thank!!
