Today when i was walking on the eliptical I had to hang my left hand down and shake it. It felt like it was asleep from gripping the handle. Also the fatty part of my hand around my thumb has been tender for months. I dont have much strength in my hand anymore. But the numbness is fairly new. I noticed my leg will do it to sometimes too. Could this be heart related? I just saw the doctor and it wasnt doing it at the time of course, but i had alot of blood work done. My CT score was 24 which is suppose to be around 4, this test shows inflamation around the heart. Atleast i think its called CT. I have also been experiencing alot of gas lately in my back (right side) and yesterday it felt like my inside were going to fall out. I know to much information :O) Anyhow I would appreciate any help with this.

Im 15 and wondering, is it bad to sleep more then the reccomened amount amout which is about 8-9 hours? I go to bed around 10pm and wake up at 6am and feel exhausted the whole day. Physically and mentally. Sometimes I take naps during the day and wake up 4 hours later and feel fine and refreshed. But on a daily baisis I don't do that. As far back as I can remember, I've always been a sleepy tired kid during the day which I always found strange.

Im not sure if it's because Im sleeping too much or not getting enough sleep. Is it possible that certain people need more sleep than others?

Last year my husband was in a car accident and fractured his C4 vertebrae & suffered some nerve damage. thanx to a great neurosurgeon, outstanding physical therapist and the grace of God he is walking and moving about. he was also supposed to be paralyzed but isnt. can this affect ur sexual interaction? he says that he loses interest about after a minute even if he watches anything with sexual content in it. yet he does get an erection he also says that he is alot less sensitive in that area including his testes and doesnt have much of a sensation. his dr prescribed him with viagra but doesnt have an interest in having intercourse. i told him it would be easier to try this method to see if there was something other than it being just mental. then we could bring it to the attention of his urologist. any idea if this is just his subconscience as he may still be affected by the trauma or can it really be due to the spinal injury, thinking to himself that he may not be able to perform? TY

My fiance is having major pains in his stomach, the left side all the way down to his groin area. He says it feels like sharp pains, like its twisting, or something. He has had this for almost a week. It only happens before he goes to sleep. It lasts atleast 4 to 6 hours, sometimes all night.


What can cause this?
(stress, indigestion, ulcers, dehydration, etc?)

I hurt the ball of my left foot 3 wks ago so I've been limpin around to keep the weight off of it. Last week, I slipped on the ice after my foot doctor appointment, with my bum foot (because limping is hard to do on ice!!) & I now noticed the toe next to my pinky is purple/red, swollen, & there is a large hard lump on the left side of it. It will NOT bend and when I move it around I get instant tears, however I can still walk and limp around. I see the Doc again on Fri, until then- is it broken? What should I do? Help!!

My doctor prescribed Tramadol for my lower back pain, but I had some sort of reaction to it which caused me to itch all over. I don't necessarily need something stronger, but just something a little different. Is there anything else anyone can suggest I talk to her about. (I've taken all sorts of over-the-counter stuff and they don't touch it)

Well this morning the moment I got up I was unable to walk on my leg. The pain came from the back of my knee and was also on the bottom/ front. Do you think that when I slept I was in a weird position? Do you think it is badly injured? I was sleeping on my stomach... What should I do? Should I wait a while since it just happened today? What else can I do? Right now I am resting it and I wrapped it which seems to help when I rest. Though I can truley not walk up or down the stairs because of the pain.... What is this secret pain? What should be my next step? Is it serious?
