About a year ago I fell straight on my tailbone rollerblading. I could barley walk or sit or even stand. what ever I did I felt uncomfortable. Over the past year little outbreaks of pain in my tailbone have come and gone. But today The HORRIBLE pain of my very first rollarblading accident has come back. I really need fast, effective remedies. Oh, by the way I am going on vacation in 4 days and I will have to sit on a plane for 4 and a half hours straight so I really need help!

I walk almost every evening. I'm trying to correct my posture. The last couple of nights I've walked with my back straight the way my doc advised me to do, BUT the next morning my upper back is killing me. This never happened when my posture sucked. What could this be? Thanks

We want to keep you another day or two (you were dehydrated but seemed to be able to stand up at that point), would you agree or go home? Keep in mind you were exhausted and your stomach hurt, but you really wanted to go home and shave your legs.

My house-hold is very stessful and i've already tried to quit once. After about 2 weeks (on the patch) I became so irritable, I began to yell at my kids for no good reason and they are only 2,3, and 4. they aren't old enough to understand that it's not their fault that I am mad. Also, my fiance works 2nd shift so she spends all morning with the 2yr. old while the 3 and 4yr. are in school. and when they come home mommy is at work until after they go to bed. She also smokes and refuses to quit unless i do it first! I want to quit so bad but, i don't want to take it out on the kids but I don't know what to do. Please help! I've been smoking for 10yrs. and never around the kids (only in the addition or outside, while away from the kids ofcourse)

My 30 yr old son had a hernia operation nearly a year ago. Is it normal to still experience pain in that area? He had a screen put in for this operation. Anyone know from experience?

When I go to sleep and sit in my bed on one side of my body that side (e.g. with my left ear on the pillow and the other one in the air) that part of the head will start to hurt.It's a feeling like something is gathering up in that part and the pain slowly increases.If I turn on the other side the pain will move but again it will move slowly.
