I used to play football and injured my knee pretty badly. As a result i got my football scholarships snatched up from me and went through a long period of depression. I gained a lot of weight and i'm really trying to get back in shape. What are some of the best cardio exercises..that will make the most impact on weight loss and are easy on the knees. This killed me because my knee injur was so severe doctors said if i took the wrong hit my career is completely over. I was a fullback too...so...i was always taking hits.
so much for my USC, UCLA, ASU, OHIO STATE scholarships

I work at a factory, I sequence parts for GM. I was sitting at my desk when another employee ran in to me with a tugger. A tugger is a car-like machine that hauls train like carts of commidities, and loads them in a semi truck. He had jumped off the tugger while it was moving and it coasted into me. At the time I fractured a rib, and went back to work the following monday. About a month later I started having back problems. They got worse and it has been about 4-5 months now. I have a buldging disc in my back and a build up of spinal fluid in one spot causing me to have numbness in all my extremidies. I have seen several doctors and specialist. My current doc is a neroligist, and he reports the current status of my injury is directly related to the accident. I didn't claim workers comp at first, so I believe it is slowing down the prossess. I am now talking to a lawyer.

I had numbness on one side and blinded in one eye and i could not talk .I was transported by ambuance to ER and admitted.I had an MRI ..reluts were no apparent stroke.they said i ''may have had a seizure''
The thing is when i returned to my work and ever day life,everyone said my personality had changed.I used to stand back and just do as i was told and never complaine.The first day back i told my boss to back off and leave me alone.My co-workers were shocked and amazed.I was also surprised because I never did this before and it seems like i have gradually become more out spoken and sarcastic and less cooperative..It'slike the old me died..Could they have missed something that caused these changes in my personality?

My boyfriend is a postman, he has quite a big round and carries his bag on his shoulder. Lately, he has been having severe pains and throbbing in his one shoulder. He started alternating his bag due to this but it still hurts, even now after 2/3 weeks off sick. It hurts up into his neck from his shoulder blade. He has been to the docs and they said it could be a pulled muscle, but should it take this long to heal?
He is not in pain everyday, some days he feels ok, but someting triggers off the pain? Any suggestions?

My Mom was is in an Assisted Living Facility-4 DAYS later she fell & broke her arm.When she came home after 4 weeks there were my brother (doctor), Aunt and me - the nasty lawyer.
It was obvious THEN that she could not get in and out of her existing bed. Head of Facility told me they would give her an inexpensive headboard, mattress thing and special frame for mattress.
Head told me to my face that it was no problem to leave it there. I wanted it there because it's mere presence was a comfort to her.I have it's'twin'-which my son is now using. That one was my Dad's.
These are VERY expensive beds-not that that really matters. I had a patrolman come out and made a report immediately.Solid cherry-the only things I can pick up are the side rails and the slats.
OH, and at one point the current director said "If Patti doesn't get this out by Friday-I'm throwing it away."Two weeks prior she had offered my mother $500. for it.
Do I charge for Grand Larceny or take to Small Claims Court?

I am on home use of Demerol injections, however, I am now down to 400 ml a day which is not enough to allow me to be functional. I have been up to 1000 ml a day, but on the average, if I am to function properly I need between 500 and 700 mls. I am living in great pain because the medical professionals are not comfortable but they want me to live.(in pain) Because of my chronic pain, I have tried to commit suicide several times now that I'm suppose to live with the pain. I have been through many other medications that either don't work or I have adverse reaction to; so we end up with demerol again. I know the risks and am willing to take them, so I am looking for information that would help make the doctor more comfortable with prescribing. (i.e.: such as studies of pain management with demerol)

I was diagnosed with epicondylities in both arms from using the computer. I have had the problem for at least 6 months now and the pain in my elbows has subsided but now my problem is with the outer (top) muscles in my forearms. These muscles are always under tension and if I bend my wrist back the muscles go really hard and I can see and feel them from my elbow down to about half way on my forearm. I can also see and feel that the muscles closer to my wrist are also 'puffy' and I can feel knots starting to form in this area.

I am wearing an elbow strap, having ultrasound therapy and applying ice frequently and it only seems to be relieving the pain and not fixing the problem.

Are these normal symptoms for epicondylities? As I said, my elbows do not hurt anymore, only my forarms and wrists? Please help!
