I am on it for Rheumatoid Arthritis. If you take it have you ever had bleeding gums while on it?

Thanks for all responses.

at times my legs are fine the next thing I know it gets a sensation to move'em and get "gitchy" i've always thought that it's a restless leg is there anything I can do about it ? because at times when it acts up I've been told by my wife that it'll look like I'm layin in bed havin a seizure.

** please note I'm not looking for the answer "go see a Dr" only because well lets face it I'm looking for more of a home remedy since I haven't seen a Dr. since I was 8 **

Has anyone had or know anyone who has had this type of problem? I can find nothing about these symptoms. I get these excruciating cramps in the armpit area (for lack of a better term) and they seem to radiate around to the chest and sometimes the upper arm. Occaisionally down the back also. this has been going on off and on for several months. I've had my heart checked and the Chiroprator said to drink plenty of water and get more calcium. Of course this hasn't worked and the cramps are getting slowly worse and more numerous. I thought maybe a pinched nerve but I looked it up and it says nothing about cramps and the Doc/Chiro seem to blow me off when I mention it. I'm confused, does anyone know anything about this??

What do doctors use to compare different pain meds? Can someone point me to a book or web info? Thanks.

In other words, do 10 mg Vicodin = 10 mg percocet? (not counting any additional non-narcotic meds that may be in the tabs, such as Paracetamol/Tylenol or acetylsalycilic acid)

My granmothers face started swelling a few weeks ago. it will go away and come back. Now, her chest and arms are swollen down to her fingers. She was admitted to the hospital and they ran all kinds of tests. All the tests came back ok. Her arm had to be wrapped because fluid is seeping out of her pores. The doctors are baffled. The only thing they are telling her is that it may be caused from having 4 cat scans in the past month. It sounds like an excuse to me. They dont really know what is going on. How can cat scans cause all this. If anyone has ever had this problem or heard of such a problem, please let me know. We are all baffled and concerned. Thank you.

Does anybody know how long it takes to heal? I don't care about the pain. I can't go back to work until it heals enough for me to be able to climb a ladder. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

My grandson is 3 years old. He has little bumps on top of his ears and is red. What could this be? He keeps pulling on them which is probably causing the redness.

My back usually hurts, but when my neck hurts, it just goes numb. like it fell assleep. It is the strangest sensation and has been happening for about a year or so. I'm only 26 I am at a healthy weight(135) and am 5'2. Do I need to have surgery or just a reallignment? When I was 16 I went to a chiropractor and couldn't walk for about a month, so I don't really trust them, but my fiance goes about once a week and feels great.

Hi, I want to join my high school cheerleading team next year (I've been cheerleading for about three years) but I have a problem. Whenever I do a toe-touch I end up hurting myself. I'm pretty sure I stretch right and I never had this problem before. Help?

BTW: When I do toe-touches I always pull something or strain a muscle.

Exercises, tips, etc...?

Thanks~

Those who have replyed so far to Chronic Back pain,etc...being a home owner is a constant work out for me.I am physically disabled,I am just now getting the
attention that I should of had in 2003 when I pushed a hand pallet jack with a load weighing 1,228 lbs and a group of idiots who were to back me up as we had no access to a forklift nor a electric jack to place on weigh scale.I settled out of court as I wanted to continue to work once I was able to move half ok.That took me 2 months.I have had orthoscopic surgery 3 times on my shoulder,once on the knee(that is on the verge of giving out again)I am 45,I do have osteoarthrits and now that I have medicare I am getting to the right doctors.I do have my main doctor but there was not much that could be done.In 2004 I went 5 days of horrible pain in my right leg,didn't do anything to it.Finally went to E.R I
was 18 hrs. away from dying to 4 Deep Vein Trambosis and they were in my hip
finally.My right foot swells for no reason now.etc.
