General Health Care - January 2007

i will have a surgery this 2nd febuary.i ve just called the clinic and asked whether i will be given any IV or gas or not during the procedure. they said no. they will only numb my gum, i think. i am so scared,really scared, of the sounds during the surgery. can i ask for IV or gas or something before the surgery?if can,do i have to call them to inform that i want the IV or i just come and tell them before the surgery start?

i am thinking to not have the surgery, but i have to because i will be wearing braces.i dunno if i have the courage to face the surgery.what i am thinking is getting the IV.any advise?

It came on very sudden. Last night it was just kind of like a kink in my neck from sleeping wrong. Throughout the day it has gotten worse and worse. I can't turn my head either direction more than 2-3 inches. When I bend over and stand back up it throbs. And it's sore to the touch. It doesn't hurt when I look down but kills when I look up. I can even feel it when I swallow but it doesn't hurt up front at all. It's not in the same area where you feel your pulse. It's back farther. Any ideas? I really can't afford to go to the doc if I don't have to.

I just started taking showers at night so I could get ready for school faster in the mornings; I put on my deodorant on right before I go to bed.

& then again in the morning.

Ever since I started taking showers at night I’ve been sweating during the day, & I’m almost positive it’s my deodorant…I think.

Sooo if I put it on at night, will I have body odor during the day?

I normally never sweat under my arms, & if I forget deodorant (& take a shower that morning) I normally don’t smell, well…maybe a little, but its not that bad.
So should I just not put it on in the mornings? Or what?

While in the hospital for 5 days they have to take IV's out and place them where they can and one of them had swelled up my hand I figure there was some air that got into my vein now I think they may have placed it in wrong altogether should I say something or will the pain eventually go away.....it's been about 1-1/2 weeks now

I was having surgery and while the they were administering the anestesia they messed up my jaw. Now I can only open my mouth half way and it looks like I'm going to have to have surgery to correct it. Do I have a case of medical malpractice? How do I choose a legit attorney to ask? Thanks!

My knee started acting up again, Its really hard to explain, Its hard to place the problem area ,As I type now its behind the knee above the calf (numbing throb) its the right knee on the upper right side about where the thigh muscle ends,I can sometimes feel what I would describe as a rubber band stretching sensation right there.I get numb feelings in my foot and my calf, There was no sudden impact or injury it just kind of started.There isn't really much pain but just a weird feeling that isn't right.it almost feels that if I do start to run It might give out. I mountain Bike for about 14m on the weekends and it doesn't really bother me during that activity. Football starts in 2weeks and I'm a bit worried. Anyone have this same thing or info?sore tendon or something?cross my fingers
