I am only 14 years old. My back has been hurting a lot lately. Especially my spine. So i had my mother take a look at it and she noticed that several of my vertebrea(sp?) were severly swollen and inflamed. I could even feel it myself when i ran my finger down my spine. It is very painful and sore. Could this be something serious? Its been 2 weeks and it hasnt gone away, infact, it has become worse.

Can you do this or is it just fiction.

For example , say for some reason one of your fingers gets cut off, could you get it reattached and working like normal?

I need a humidifier in my house because every morning when I wake the back of my throat is dry. I went online to get a price check and I found the 3 referenced humidifiers. I read the detail for each one and I couldn't find a difference between the 3, except in the price ($35-$40, so $$$ wouldn't be a factor in my decision). They all say they do the same things, and if that's the case than why is there a need for an Ultrasonic, Cool Mist and Warm Mist humidifier? The brand of humidifier is Vick's, and it is on cvs.com.

On a side note, I drink water, it might not be 8 glasses a day, but I come close. I know I drink enough water to not be dehydrated. This has only been happening recently and it only happens when I wake up.

I usually drink one cup in a day, but when I misses that, I get the headache in the afternoon. My friends told me that it is the lack of caffeine which does not dilate the blodd vessels in the head, which causes the pain.
