General Health Care - January 2007

For about 2 hours last night I slept on my left arm wrong and woke up with my fingers pressed rather hard between my knees and my arm bent and wedged underneath me. It wasn't numb, but for the next 30 minutes I had cold fingers and my arm had the general sensation of having poor circulation. It's been about 10 hours now and my arm still feels like I have no circulation - cold fingers, achy in places and an overall heavy feeling. Is this normal for me to still be feeling something like this 10 hours later?

I just started the CNA class, hoping it will give me a better chance at getting in a nursing program soon. I also would like to work as a CNA while i go to school. Is there anyone who has experience working as a CNA? I love going to the nursing home & visiting with the residents, so working with elderly people isn't an issue with me. I'm just wondering if the job is a bad as everyone makes it out to be.. And also, are CNA's treated badly by "superior" people? Thank you in advance for you help!

My brother has just started a new job which involves a lot of walking and being on his feet all day. Yesterday (his 4th day in the job) the arch on his right collapsed. He said he was in real pain but managed to get through the day.

Is there a quick fix to remedy a fallen arch? Hes terrified to losing his job as hes been out of work for such a long time

I had my appendix taken out late Tues. night and came home late Wed. afternoon. I was prescribed 5mg percocet for pain and I have had it MANY times in the past for my back, but now when I take it I start to vomit and get ill. Could this be because of the surgery? This also happened when I stopped taking it and tried a tylenol (7 hours after my last percocet). I wasn't anywhere near my tylenol (acetemetaphine) level, but yet it now makes me sick. Do you think a doc would switch meds for me or is this bad to ask being I was able to take percocet before my surgery?

Someone told me that they have been designed to chop the toes off cleanly so that they cane be reattached easy.
i have always thought that they were designed to protect the toes from heavy object falling on them. not to chop the toes off.
Anyone have any idea's

3 weeks ago I had my gall bladder removed, which wound up being open surgery. I have a 10 inch cut across the right side of my upper abdomen, stapples just came out last thursday. Today my daughter was in her room and I heard her tv fall and she started screaming. I automatically jumped up out of my chair to run in there to make sure she was okay - I had my feet propped up and I twisted my body to the left without even pushing the stool away, ever since I have been in alot of pain - and is hard for me to move around (this happend about 6 hours or so ago). I was just wondering if it would be possible for my incision to tear open from the inside, not the outside....I can't get ahold of anyone at the hospital to answer my question, so I figured I'd give Yahoo Answers a shot. Also, I have been on LorTab 5/500 for pain, and since my second bottle my feet and hands have been itching like crazy, anyone know what it could be?..Itching just started when I started on bottle 2, not 1..thanks!!!

I was a truck driver and lost my DOT medical as I had no binocular acuity. I went to work for a temp agency and hurt my back they say degenerative disc disease and multipl buldges also left nerve impingement. I applied for a permanent job which will pay more and then found out it entailed heavy lifting frequently as well as on feet ten hours a day. I don't think my body can take it. I need to be able to support my kids and am too proud for welfare. I am currently going to school for an AA degree. I am not afraid of work but my leg aches constantly from the pinched nerve in my back and my feet go numb. I am getting worried. Any suggestions?

2. Well I was wondering if you do have it, can you tell me the advantages and disadvanteges.

3. Does it wrinkle your cloths once you air compress it?

4. What's the point in aircompressing it in a tight plastic bag?

5. Why does wal-mart has the jumbo dress bag with little tiny holes in them, (it's a zipper bag where you can store about 6 hang clothing to keep dust out) I mean so do you suppose to have airflow or do you suppose to have them airtight like that airtight bag compressor?
