I wanted to buy an electric Paraffin wax bath machine to use for the arthritis in my hand, and I went to Walmart because I had seen them there before Christmas, but they had no more. Can I use an ordinary pot, on the stove, to melt the wax, or will it ruin the pot?

My husband is complaining of pain in his ankle and the top of his foot. We think it started as a result of his previous job, which kept him on his feet for 8 hours a day. He stopped working and the pain remained, although lessened, for several months. Now he's working again and the pain is back full force. What could the problem be and can anything be done for him without seeing a doctor?

I am recently having a pain in my knee during walks with my dog.

About a month ago, I was hit by a car, though I did not suffer from any injuries, it was my left knee that was the strongest hit, and I experience strong discomfort during walks in the cold. My dog has recently (I believe) coming into heat, so she wants longer and more regular walks, and I wish to run with her, but my knee stiffens and it hurts. Is there any way to null the pain while not using any pain killers? Thank you!

Sometimes when I wake up from sleeping, recline on a chair like at the dentist, or stand for a long period of time, my arm(more sensitive on the upper arm) begins tingling and numbing in a painful manner. Any ideas on what this condition this might be?

I have knee pain in both knees on the outsides of each kneecap. When running i can sometimes feel a crunch with severe pain. Also standing for long periods can cause pain.... the pain comes and goes and some days are better then others..... to me the pain seems to be more from bone then soft tissue. Any ideas what it may be?

I was out on new years, I drank 4 large glasses of wine the entire night. I know its quite alot, but I have always been able to handle that much in the past, and I was very very ill afterwards. So ill infact that i couldnt get out of bed the next day and vomited alot. The sickness lasted till late on the tuesday. I talked to my friends and they told me that a creapy guy i spoke to at one point in the night guy was following me about and watching me on the dance floor. From the severe 2 days of sickness after does that sound like my drink could have been spiked or just a severe hangover??

Something is wrong with my knee. My mother has taken me to the doctor and the doctor doesn't know and shrugs it off as growing pains, but I've had growing pains and they felt nothing like this, also, I haven't grown for the past two years. And it only hurts in my right knee...does anyone know why?? I do not rememeber hurting it, and I can't stand taking meds, they make me puke and shake, I also feel like bugs are crawling all over my body!! And I feel lightheaded. Does anyone know why my knee is doing this?? My mother has gotten many opinions on it and they all don't know!! They all tell my mom that they aren't sure but they think it's growing pains!! I have had these pains for almost a year now an my other leg is starting to hurt b/c i'm putting more weight on it. Why is my knee doing this!?
