Cold feet every night ?
I have been sleeping every night for the past 3 months with socks on my feet.

Why am I so cold at night? Other than me living in Canada - I do have heat in my house :P I find myself sleeping in socks now!

Any ideas?

if you suffer one or multiple concussions in the past that have gone undetected (ie you never went to the doctor when you should have to see if you did suffer one), is it possible to detect them years later. does a consussion leave a lasting impression or is it something that has to be found when it happens otherwise you cant tell

Hello! 3 months ago I was T-boned by a car that ran a stop sign. My old car was totaled for $700 (91 Honda with 260K miles on it and a past total in the history). I had to get 7 stitches in my head. I didn't miss work, though I missed two college classes that day. I have a slight scar of an inch and a half or so on my forehead. My medical bills totaled $3000 after ambulance, x-ray, stitches, etc. I have police report and witnesses were there on the report. I don't see the need in a lawyer, since it wasn't a huge injury and I haven't had any problems since then, but I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what a fair settlement is for a case like this. I've been friendly with the party-at-fault's insurance agent as he has been to me, but I've been offered $600 for pain and suffering (he said that was the max) and $500 for property damage. Should I just accept this? Like I said, I'm not looking to extract as much as I possibly can, but I don't want to get ripped off either...

Hi
I am a runner who has damaged my left knee in the gym of all places, by overdoing it on the treadmill and stepper.
I have a very tender point just below my left kneecap which has recurred despite a steroid injection by my consultant.
I was given exercises to stregthen the quadracep muscle especially that part which, if you look down at your LEFT knee, is the bulging muscle above and to the right of the knee joint.
Where can I find out what exercises would help?
I was told my left foot is flat due to a fallen arch and this is causing the knee cap to move out of alignment.
Are there any shoe inserts to help?
Sorry for the message length
Steve

Since june, I've been having on and off lower back pain/ leg/butt pain. I'm not athletic or anything. I recently gained weight due to stress. I'm 5'8 180 lbs. I've always been around 150lbs. Anyway, I went to my doctor & all she said was to take two aspirins a day & use a a heating pad to sit down for now. I did take the aspirin once a day. It does seem to help somewhat, but recently it has gotten worse. To the point where the pain feels like it's pulsating down my lower back, legs, and butt the most. It hurts 2 walk sometimes and I can't stand for very long, because I feel like the piercing pain will make me lose my balance. The pain even seems to worsen when I take a shower with hot water. Oddly not so much when I sit. Now I take 800mg of ibuprofen 1 a day- I really am the type of person who doesnt like to take medication because I've never needed to rely on any until now. I'm 18, recent blood tests show i'm perfectly healthy. What's wrong w me? Wat should I do? I'm really worried =(

Somewhat embarrassing question here...I have a hair follicle on my arm that sometimes grows a whisker-like hair, while other sometimes it will go days or weeks without growing a hair. What's the deal? I am a 42 year-old female. Thanks.
