My g'mother had foot surgery and she's been taking Percocet every 6 hours for the last three weeks ever since she was releasted from the hospital. She says Percocet is the only medication that relieves the pain; that when she takes one, within 15 minutes, the pain is gone. (SHe has about 22 pills left).

Sometimes I feel weak and my body feels run down and my breathing starts to pick up and so does my heart rate. A couple of nights ago my husband and I were at Wal-Mart and we were standing around talking to some friends and i began to feel weak and I felt like my body was going calaps (sp?), my breathing and heart rate went up and I began to feel a tingling in my hand. I didn't say anything but after a while when it faded, a little, my hands and knees were shaking, why does this happen to me? Whats wrong?

I dropped a ~40 lb dump truck bumper on my little toe, and now it's swollen, purplish, and hurts like crazy! I don't see any signs of dislocation, and I can walk (albeit only using the ball of my foot). Should I just keep the ice on or should I get my mom to take me to the doctor?
