I have had pain in my leg for over 3 wks now. I tend to get it worst when standing and when I sit or lie down, it eases then the lower of my leg will sometimes go numb and tingly. Tonight has been bad. I have to stand on the good leg when it happens. I can feel the pain right from my bum to my foot! I have had no falls, been playing sports or had any accident. The leg doesnt look swollen and is not discoloured. There is no signs of veins etc. I am only 24!

I did an injury to my shoulder a month ago and sprained my shoulder and it felt like frozen shoulder or arthritis. I am only 30 though. I did light yoga again and it acted up again. Anyone know what I can do to make my shoulder heal right so I don't have this problem. I don't want my should to continue being like this.

I have experienced a bit of a personality clash with a few doctors when it concerns my children.
If a Dr. chooses the medical field as his/her profession, why does that make (some of) them feel being a Dr. makes the rest of us less intelligent?
As a parent, I (very often) accurately know the diagnosis of my child before I seek the legal authority of a prescription. Does that offend (most of) you?
I feel like you should listen to me tell you what is wrong with my child and then make a diagnoses, instead of bickering with me over the knowledge I have of my own flesh and blood.
If I have questions, and DON'T know what's wrong, I will clearly state that at the beginning of the consult, and interject when asked specific questions.
I know not all of you are this way, but what makes those of you who are so arrogant?
Respect the fact that I am the mother. Don't challenge my medical knowledge when you walk in the door, and I'll respect the fact that you are the Dr. by career choice.

I have been suffering from lower back pain for a long time. Most of the doctors attribute it to a bad disk (L5-S1). Nothing has worked to relieve the pain, and not the doctors wan tme to have an epidural pain block to see if that helps. Has anyone had this done, and can you comment on the effectiveness and sde-effects

Should living organ donors and family of deceased donors be paid and if so who should pay them, the recipient, recipient's medical insurance or the government? And finally how much should they be paid?

I am acute/chronic patient in pain management. Here is history: severe scoliosis which resulted in 2 major back surgeries, lumber was finally fused. I had a 45degree curve which had me leaning WWAAYY to the right, after surgery i could stand straight but this affected my hip. Just had knee surgery in Nov. 2006 and a total hip replacement 4 weeks ago. My question is: I am now on 120 Lortabs, 90 somas, 30 xanex and ambeim CR for sleep. This was not enough bc the hospital had me on 2 Norcos every 4 hrs so my tolerance was built up BIG time. SO my pain dr. ordered Fentynal 25 microgram patches. I put one on last night and slept like a baby and i'm still not in pain!!!!!!!!! They are suppose to last 72 hrs,. so should i change to the patches or stay on all the pills? I am going to always have pain from my scoliosis. I have a bulging disc on my right side now that is all swollen. I am in physical therapy 3 times a week and don't miss a day!!! My hip is great, it's my back STILL?!?!?

For the past three or four days, my stool has been a bright green color. I though this was cause of cake frosting at first, but it's been going on too long, since it's been two days since I last ate any. Could anything else be causing this?

I've been drinking apple cider vinegar the last three days, though I add baking soda to turn it from acidic into alkaline. This is an attempt to rid my body of candida yeast overgrowth. I'm also taking oil of wild oregano. Could either of these be the cause? Could it also be the dead candida that is causing the green color?

There are so many types and I don't want to get one that is cheap and doesn't do anything but I don't want to spend a ton on money on one that is as good as a cheaper one! Help! Has anyone bought one from a drugstore? Target? Walmart? These are all place close by that I would be going to. Thanks in advance!
