Do you think that they are trying to hit off a silent compagin by featering her question about health care?
Or do you realy think she cares what you think about health care or its just a way to get her face on yahoo home page?

I don't want to say it's pain but it's hard to describe. It doesn't happen in both legs often mostly the right one, it feels like my whole leg is dead weight and I have to keep moving it. I'm not sure what it is but it's getting annoying so any serious thoughts or theories are appreciated.

Every American in the nation is trying to improve or solve the country's ongoing problem to health cost. But to no avail, why?

I need to quit smoking again. hate the fact that I actually enjoy it. I had quit for 2 yrs. and have quit a many of times for a couple of yrs. here and there. and laws are getting stricter and stricter because of the dangers for those who smoke and for those around them. I want to quit but forever this time. I unfortunately took back up the habit last April. It's Jan. now, would be so cool if I really quit smoking now, or atleast b4 april or march.

But ANYWAY, if u've ever smoked (and this ques.is really for those who are smoking or were former smoker's actually)--did you noticed how it makes ur face slightly drawn looking? and then when u quit after 2-3 months your face kinda plumped up again w/out not even the slightest bags under ur eyes?

I think I made the mistake of thinking that smoking was what was keeping me trim all these seasons, but have realized it was actually the 3.5-4.5 mile walks I was taking every single week that kept me skinny, not the awful stupid cigs.

How long does it take for fractured vertabraes in the spine to heal fully?

If you dislocated your shoulder and didn't go to the dr would it start to heal on it's own? Obviously the pain won't go away for a while but how long do you think it would take to feel normal again?
Please SERIOUS answers only, no sarcasm.

Does this sound like a gallbladder issue? I'm thinking it is, but not sure, have been told by doctor years ago that it was NOT my GB....Huh. What do y'all think....

1.steady, severe pain in the upper abdomen that increases rapidly and lasts from 30 minutes to several hours

*started 2 hours after eating -Yesterday "episode" lasted 8.5 hours - brutal - The pain will bring me to tears and is pretty close to being unbearable.

The spot is right under my ribcage on the right side and it actually appears to swell and is VERY tender to the touch or even movement.

2.pain in the back
3. nausea
4. abdominal bloating
5. belching
6. slight Indigestion
7. little dizzy

I am scared to eat, cause I don't know what sets it off....

Thanks!

I need them for my father. I think they only make it in the US. It's just $1 a tube. I'm willing to send the money back to whoever can help me with this. Trust me, if there was where I live, I'd get it from here.

I landed hard on my tailbone and lower back. It was super painful to walk, sit, or, stand the rest of the day. Today the throbbing pain is gone. Now it's a dull ache and nauseousness and I have a bruise spreading up my back. Any advice?
