Sometimes wehen I am asleep I Feel like I am not able to move or get up. Like my body is parealysed and my breathing will stop but is not blocked. I think it is from puting pressure on the temples of my head, by resting my head on my forearms. I can't find any names for this. If you know what this is I would be happy to learn what it is.

I tore it almost a month ago and the pain just keeps increasing, the docs have been giving me percocet for it but it only works for about an hour or so, plus, being military they are kind of stingy with pain meds. What can I do to lessen the pain?

I have a doctors appt schedule but can't get in until Thursday afternoon and I was hoping someone could offer me some pointers. I've been having lower back pain since Friday, it's a dull pain but is making it very hard for me to lift my youngest daughter (I've ceased lifting her unless totally necessary i.e. getting in and out of the car and her crib), it is also very hard to get in and out of a chair or the couch as well as if I sit down on the floor.

Friday the pain was the worst with the pain shooting into my leg. I've been taking advil and aleve but neither seem to really get rid of the pain. I'm sleeping with a pillow between my legs which makes sleep a little better but I'm still in pain. Any help would be greatly appreciated, but serious answers only please!

Thanks in advance for any help :0)

I'm not exactly sure why my Doctor prescribed amoxicillan when I'm not allergic to penicillan. Will penicillan work better to get rid of my strep? I'm in pain too...my mother has been giving me hydrocodone but it's not working that well. Does anyone know of a better way to relieve the pain of strep, medicinal or herbal??

i was at the supermarket and a doctor was on his cell talking. and he said, "if anyone comes in with chest pains, it is narcotics. dont give them any. their just looking for drugs. theyre narcotics. of course, maybe they are really in pain. sometimes its for real, but its better to be on the safe side and not give them any." i was shocked to hear this, because a couple years ago i had a botched dental surgery and my dentist went on a vacation and the stand-in dentist assisted with an emergency i had. well the stand in would not give me any pain killers. he gave me two with tylenol. i am allergic to tylenol. i was in the worse pain of my life that i am still thinking about it. i think that if any doctors are reading this, i think this attitude is very very bad. there are some people really suffering. i think that is just plain rotten.

The xray tech asked me if I had ever carried a baby full-term. She mentioned that she would have to do something different if I had.

NOTE:
I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT PROTECTING A CURRENT PREGNANCY. SHE ASKED ABOUT PAST PREGNANCIES.
Thanks.

I have a friend who was on meth before I met her and I'm concerned that she may have started back up again, but I have no idea what to look for. Would she have any physical ailments or skin rashes that could be a direct result of the meth? Could her 2 year old suffer from the same kinds of things if she was around her mom after she smoked meth? Sorry, I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to this kind of thing. Thanks.

I keep having a sensation on the one cheek like that side of my face is raised up higher, like it would if I were winking on that side. It just feels a little tingly like I need to slap it. It feels like it can't relax. It feel like the one side is lopsided, but it isn't. It just feels that way. What is it? I've read stuff about the face feeling droopy on one side, but it doesn't feel droopy..quite the opposite.

Seriously, I look like a friggin' dalmation. I just noticed a new one on my arm that actually stands out. I have no idea where these bruises come from either, and no, I don't get drunk and run into things. Are there any disorders that could cause you to bruise from just a tap, or for no reason?
Thanks for the help... this is annoying. I can't wear mini skirts anymore, and I am scared that people are going to start thinking that my husband beats me!

I fell in the shower on Thursday and broke te door and thought I was okay. I woke up at 3am sat/sun morning in the most severe pain I've ever had in my life (other than when I had open heart surgery) I went to the ER yesterday (I already had Vicodin 500 for chronic back pain and 800 Motrin but neither does anything for me) The doctor told me I brusied my ribs and he gave me Percocet which seems to work (a little) Seriously! It's 5 mg. I am still in a great deal of pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Example: I'm laying on the couch and I cant look up (in back of me/life myself up) to see the time! And I can't do anything with my left side at all! If I even reach for water with my left hand, the sharp pain in my ribs is so severe pain and sharp!!! Is there anything else I can do to lesson the pain??? And does anyone know how long I'll be in pain with bruised ribs??!!! Thanks a lot for answers :) connie

Can someone give me the pros and cons of getting on a tanning bed?

Is tanning really all that safer than the sun?

My hands & pits get really nasty sweaty. It's so gross! My doctor gave me some medicine to put on my hands but it is not working..i am so embarrassed when my boyfriend held my hand for the first time night before last and it was soo hot, red, and wet. PLEASE help. Plus, i can't even wear button-up shirts b/c the sweat shows in big, wet spots on my underarms. I am SO embarrased to even be asking this. This has been going on my whole life..i just want it to stop! I have trouble playing the piano too--my fingers slip on the keys and i have a recital coming up. Any ideas welcome. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
