I had a fracture on my cunieform bone of the first toe and that has healed (according to the xray). But I had a couple of bones floating around near the navicular bone that they removed. But my toe still hurts and foot. So I went back to the doctor and he said that I have capsulities in the toe joint. So okay he gave me Reflan for a month - still have pain but not as bad with the medicine. My toe still hurts with pain radiating up - and when I walk - every once in awhile it will just give me a stabbing pain and I can't put weight on it. Sort of like giving out, that feeling. There is no swelling except below where the doctor cut into my foot. Help please.

Have tried all kinds of lip balms, vaseline etc... Still chapped,some days worse than others. In the summer they are ok but I am outside alot and I have sunburned them a few times. Maybe that is a contributing factor to the chappedness!?

I’ve noticed over the last year or so that my heart acts up sometimes. Not really sure how to describe it but it feels like it beats hard twice maybe three times but usual twice followed by a full body air gasping except for I don’t really half to gasp for air it only feels like I do but I do take a deep breath afterwards because it scares me. Over the last couple of months it has worsen I noticed it more now while im at work and I work with ten two year olds for 9 hours a day so Im not sitting down in a chair relaxing or anything. I’m not stressed Im a very calm person “trust me you half to be to work with children.” But Saturday night while I was trying to fall asleep, I was in that mode where your almost asleep but still somewhat awake it woke me up twice and this time I did gasp for air big time. I feel asleep after I calm down about an hour or so later and I was fine the next morning. It happens more then it use too so is that a cause for concern?

At work I always feel tired and I yawn a lot. I get enough sleep, around 7-8 hours and I don't work super hard so I'm not getting tired out. I do not work at a desk and I am always moving around doing stuff and lifting stuff. I'm not very active outside of work though.

I'm having a problem with kidney stones. They keep coming back. How do I get rid of them? I've gone to the hospital several times with the pain but I hate to keep doing that. What is the best thing over the counter to take? I'm not even sure what causes them I just know the pain is worse than the labor of having my children.

I have been getting a sharp pain in my lower left back (right above my left butt cheek) area when I skate for the last couple of months and I am getting tired of it. What is it? How can I get rid of it? Do I need to see a doctor? I have been taking ibuprofen or Tylenol (2 500mg) before I skate and the pain still comes. I went onto WebMD.com and they said its low back pain. They said that exercise will get rid of it, but I cant exercise with a sharp pain in my back. It hurts really bad.

If someone (like a doctor maybe) can help it would be greatly appreciated.

I had jaundis pretty bad when I was born, I was under the light for about a week. The doctor told my mother that I would never be able to give blood as an adult because of it. My question is, because of this condition as a child, would that show up in blood tests today, I am 29, enough to be rejected for life insurance?

I was just in Costa Rica, where I got over 100 bites. There were a couple of people in our group who didn't get bitten at all. Some were local, some were not. Is it something in their diet? Smoking? Drugs? Blood type?

They drove me crazy!
