Hi. i just fractured my leg and being Asian and Chinese. My Mum forbids me from drinking anything cold other than milk. She says it have something to do with the healing and may cause problems in the future. I don't know whether this is true as my doctor in the hospital says that its ok to drink anything i want. BUt my mum just doesn't allow it. Does anyone of you have any experience on this matter? Thanks

Yesturday I had to lift 70 lbs. Which is too much for me. I can't really lift with my knees, as best as I can with my back, so that's why I have a terribly sore back right now. It hurts to move it any which way and do anything with it. Anything I can do to make my back feel better?

i had an mri a couple months ago,and when i went to my doctor to review the results she told me everything looked fine.now after a couple months of pain,and being kicked around getting no help,i went to get my mri film so i could go to another doctor . im not trained to read an mri,but what i saw didnt look good at all.on the side view both the thoractic and lumbar images show a major bulge that is causing a huge indent in my spinal nerve path. the top view shows several disks that are bulged out and surrounding the nerves.kind of wrapped around. i spent the day looking at both normal and abnormal mri images on the net,and mine are far from normal. when compared to the images on the net mine are far from normal. so here i am in moderate to severe pain and getting no management of the pain. im wondering what type of doctor i should seek? my family doctor is surely nuts. any suggestions????

A couple of days ago my friend and I decided to go sleding late at night but since the snow had turned to ice we went sleding VERY fast. We thought we were going to hit a tree so i put my hand down but it got caught in someones footprint in the snow and bent. My finger was not straight and it started to swell up about 20 min. after the accident and hurt REALLY bad. So i taped my pointer finger to it(since it was my middle finger) and let it be . Now, 2 days later, its still a little swollen,stif, and my whole finger and the part under your finger is still buised. How long is it going to take to heal? Is it a sprain?

Tell me everything you know about this painkiller. I was prescribed with some for my TMJ (jaw pain) Do people use this drug as a street drug? What about dependance? And flat out... does it work? I have severe jaw pain and I was prescribed with 50mg. Is that an effective dose? Thank You!

p.s. Personal experiences with this medication would also be helpful. Good or Bad.

The twitching usually occurs late in the afternoon and before bedtime. There is no pain associated with the twitching. It is a very fast twitch. It is very noticeable and my husband has noticed the twitching. I can also see the twitching by looking down towards my cheek and I have been having migraines lately near my left eye.
