General Health Care - February 2007

^^ [ its the generic acetaminophen/codeine/elixir] whatever that means.
I am to take 3 tsp. every 4-6 hours according to how much pain I am in. Today I had forgotten exactly when I had taken my meds. I figured it had to of been between 6-10 pm, but at about 1am I didn't remember that I had already taken until my second tsp. My mother is sleeping and I didn;t feel it was really needed to wake her up because I myself don't feel that it's a big problem. On the other hand, I have very bad anxiety and I tend to overwork myself when its not neccessary, but I was just curious. Is it possible to overdose on that much? I'm 16 years old, and quite impatient. Haha Any help would be greatly appreciated. [=

15 yrs of these things and they r driving me crazy! I've seen a lot of doctors and tried a lot of different meds. I am in the cycle now...83 days or so. I go to the hospital to get temporary relief, not without a lot of hassle tho. Are they really giving me relief or by the time I leave there is my peak over? Who knows? I've lost employment more then once due to these things. They knock me off my feet for a couple of hours, a couple times a day, 7 days a week, for about 3 months at a time, that's a lot of life lost. I can't function and my quality of life sucks. Does anyone know the answers or how to cope?

My lower back is killing me! Bend a certain way, getting in and out of the car, lifting my legs (putting on pants, etc.), stabbing pain right at the bottom of my back. It doesn't feel muscular, but almost like it could use a good crack. Does anyone with a back problem know if this COULD be a slipped or herniated disk, artheritis, or what??? If it could be something the dr. will just say I have to live with, then so be it. I just wonder if anyone has these symptoms and what I might be facing ahead. If it's worse tomorrow, I will have to go to urgent care and get it checked.

I was practicing my smile wednesday, and my right cheek felt sore the next day, the part that tingles when you eat something sour. This morning (friday) , my cheek muscle and partial neck muscle near my throat glands were swollen. I've taken tylenol and put ice on it, but it's still swollen. The tylenol relieves the pain, but i have to keep taking it. Will the swelling stop? Could this be serious? I don't want to see a doctor if this is minor.

When I started therapy It hurt when I would bend backwards. Now it hurts when I bend forward or try to bend over to do anything. He said that there is nothing he could do. The pain should have went away. I have mild scoliosis, facet syndrome, and my neck vertebra is straight instead of curved. Today I have found lumps on my back near my spine. Any suggestions?

Ever go like 5 weeks without a cigarette, then start again? Ever think you had it beat, then start jonesing again all of a sudden?

Is there something that gets you thinking obsessively about a cigarette? Does something happen all of a sudden to make your cravings appear out of nowhere? Do you just think about smoking all day long? Please tell us about your experiences.

I recently got hit by a baseball in my right cheek. A HUGE lump grew on my face, protruding about an inch. The lump went away quickly and the next day I had some brusing and swelling on my face. It's been about a week, the discoloration is going away (my face is sort of yellow), the swelling has gone down and my face looks normal. HOWEVER, where that lump grew originally, I can still feel the lump. It moves a bit, but doesn't really hurt. It's not really noticeable, but when I touch it, there is a bump. I don't think I fractured any bone and I don't know if I should go to the doctor. What causes this and since most of the bruising and swelling has gone away, should I let that bump heal? I'm a 22 yr-old female.

I am a shot put thrower, and injurying my throwing arm obvouisly put a solid halt on my career. Has anyone with this injury experianced such a delay in healing? Its been so long and i feel that i couldnt of had a slight separation, grade 1 or 2, if ive still been experiance painful motions this long. Its been about 7 months.
