Regarding MS.Clintons post. Untill a few days ago one could give a Poster a thumbs up are a thumbs down. My question is do you believe that it is possible that the staff knew this post was comming up and wanted to remove any possible embarrassment for this post.

I twisted my knee, and it's much better but I've found that I'm afraid to use it. Is it all in the mind or is it really a warning?

Is it true that if you pop a blister, and then coat it with Krazy Glue, it can act as a second layer of skin even though officially Krazy Glue recommends avoiding all contact with skin?

i got the idea from the website with "how to be a perfect human"

My daughter works full time, has health insurance which she pays for, has co-pays on perscriptions. She goes to the drug store and has to pay her co-pay but the man in front of her who is picking up 2 perscriptions, doesn't speak English, gets checked out and owes nothing. Why are immigrants entitled to ANYTHING they didn't pay into yet hardworking americans foot the bill ? Something is VERY wrong with this picture. Our tax dollars fund all of this.

There was soo many answers to Hillary Clinton's question that they all sounded the same.

We all want healthcare to work efficiently. But we know that Government Buearacracy will slow it down. Although the intention is good you underestimate one thing...Human Nature. It was good will that put FEMA into existence. Remember Katrina? It was good will that enacted Social Security. Is it working? When Human Nature takes over don't expect the health care industry to get any better under Government Control.

Why did the fore-fathers create a system of government with overlapping powers and checks and balances? Because they understood human nature. They created a system which counted on our human nature...a government that would be to busy fighting itself and less time oppressing the people. So the answer for an effective Healthcare is use elements of human nature...greed, ambition, and capitalism. Skillfully put these elements together and you will have the optimal health care system.

doctor suggested we have it surgically removed and the hole patched. What would happen if we just left it? Is this standard procedure for a tube that has been in for that long? Will it affect her hearing if it's left in her ear?

I haven't gotten a single headache in over 2 years now, is that normal? I used to get them all the time, but not anymore. Is it possible that my marijuana usage (started about 2 years ago) has anythin to do with it?

OK, I hurt my knee in gym class and It started to swell and get red. It hurt below my knee cap. I went to the doctor and he said i might have torn a ligament. It also couldn't walk on it. He sent me to an orthapedic and when we got there he said i had a permature patella inflamation. He said to rest it. That was all. He did take x-rays but not an MRI or any other thing. After a couple of days it was better. But since then It has just getting worst! Right now It is killing me and I am lying in my bed. We are probably going to go to a diffrent orthapedic and i will probably get an MRI. What else can I do to help it heal? Does anyone have any Idea what it might be or any websites on info? What is an MRI and what r the procedures? Plz help me i am stumped. My mom keeps telling me to take these homiopathic pills. This has been going on for 2 and a half weeks

Things I have done to try 2 stop the pain:

Rest it
Elevate it
Wrap it
Ice it
Put cream on it
Not walk on it (hopping on one foot)

does it really work

2007-01-25 13:44:05 · 5 answers · asked by Lauren 2 in Other - General Health Care

The pain is kind of all over. It's in my thumb and part of my palm, in my fingers a little bit, in my wrist a lot, and even in my forearm. When I take notes in school, I have to drop my pencil every couple minutes and stretch out my wrist and hand because it hurts. And now I'm finding that when I try to support myself in pushup position, I get a weird pain right where my right hand meets my wrist.

I've never had this problem before; it's just been developing over the last few months. I write a lot during the day and also play piano, so I know I probably use that hand a lot, and maybe that's the problem and it's just tired. But I just want to know if I should be worried about it or talk to my doctor. Can you help me? Thank you so much in advance.

I always seem to cut myself shaving (unintentionally). I realize I need to be more careful, but other than that, how can I speed the healing process of the cuts I already have? are there any home remedies or store-bought medicines I can use?

I cut my finger with a razor blade last month, and im not sure im up to date on my tetanus shot, i think i am, but not 100%. I cleaned the wound, then bandaged it, and then changed and cleaned it until it healed. I was wondering if i may have tetanus. I've been having neck pain for a few weeks, and some back pain, and i was wondering if i thats a side effect of having tetanus. I went to my doctor last week, but i forgot to tell him about it. they took blood for other reasons, two vials, and they did some tests, and they said im fine, nothing wrong with the results. Would Tetanus show up on the blood tests? Let me know. NURSE'S OR DOCTORS ONLY

I have no energy during the day at school. When we take notes in class, I just can't seem to make myself write them down because I am so tired and lifeless. All it seems like I want to do during school is sleep. How can I be more awake, alert, and energized during the day?
