General Health Care - January 2007

Two years ago I had Vein Closer in the right leg and just one year ago I had stints put in my heart. What I want to know why am I having so much pain in both legs? When I had the stints put in two days later I developed a clot in the left leg that gave me real bad pain. The doctor took care of it with medication but since then I have had pain in both legs that keep me awake at night sometimes. I would like to know what to do about it, should I tell my doctor or what?

I have damage to my back and hip that i'm told cannot be fixed by surgery. I am waiting for social security have no income, parents helping me. ultracet i'm getting through the ppa program. hydrocodone costs $22 dollars with discount card. The pain is not going away. still intense, when i got to doctors office he gives me shot of demerol and somthing else. It helps but hour and half each way plus waiting room wait, for 5 or 6 hours of relife does not balance.

I am on hydrocodone 5/500 1 four times a day. Also ultracet 1 four times a day. Heat pads and ice packs.

i have had ringing in my ears for a bout 3-4months now and the ringing is backed y a constant clicking sound coming from my ear. when i originally noticed the ringing i went into the doctors the next morning and found out that i had a serious cold that left me full of mucus. i was told that the ringing would stop sfter a few days. but after a week it was still going on when going to the doctoer again i was told that i had a build up of mucus around the eardrum causing the ringing, and also the crackling was due to air going through it. i was advised to do some things but due to college i had little time to do them so the ringing is still continuing. also a few days befor the ringing i was at a party and inhaled some nitrous oxide from a balloon, it was my first time and i know now that it can cause a ringing in the ears after excessive use (which i certainly didnt do) its also on both sides and changes pitch from time to time and gets louder if i push on my head behind my ears

I've worked myself down from a pack and a half a day to 2-3 cigarettes, but I just can't seem to give those up. Should I just go cold turkey from here? At this point, would the patch help? Any suggestions would be helpful.

I have been trying to give up smoking and i am using Zyban. I am having some problems with it such as tummy upsets and feeling sick all the time. My GP says to stay on them for a few more days to see if these side effects wear off. Has anyone else experienced any problems and did they ease off.
Sorry if this seems like a daft question but i am trying really hard to give up smoking and would like to continue with the Zyban.

Sometimes I sleep 4 hours and I am well rested, and if I sleep to much, I am tired the whole day. So I thing the sleeping is not the problem.
Do vitamins help? Yes, I've heard of cocaine, but I need something less expensive and much less destructive.

I got massage 2 days ago, and it was a bit rough. However, I thought that the person was professional, so I just went along with it. Right after the massage my spine began to hurt a lot, and the day after it still hurt. Today is the third day, and some pain subsided, but I still feel discomfort in my spine. I'm starting to get worried. I hoppe that the masseuse didn't dislocate my spine or some other bones. Should I just wait this out? What can I do in the meantime to minimize the pain (non-meds wise), and is this something to be worried over or is this typical after getting a rough massage?

Yesterday I had to get blood work done at the doctors office, and after they took my blood I started seeing spots in front of my eyes to the point of me not being able to see at all. It scared me alot (I am only 14) and I have to get more blood work done today...Is there any tips or tricks on how to avoid passing out, or fainting? Please help!
