Anyone have trouble taking these? I am thinking of calling the company about it. It doesnt go down easy no matter how much water I drink. It ends up giving me terrible heartburn. I try to eat bread to help but it doesnt always work.

I was carrying a heavy school bag from September to December. Ive long since dropped the bag, and now Im not carrying any heavy books.

I have been sleeping on the floor since Jaunary (i have a bed, but i just like that floor), could this factor contribute to scoliosis?

Ive been to the doctor in the past year and he said my back was fine. Ive never had any back problems before. Lately, Ive been feeling back pain and my shoulders ache. This has never happened before.

Can scoliosis have developed over a year and can it be really serious?

What do you think it is?

Thanks in advance!

I've been having headaches the past three or four days like every night! Then today I started feeling dizzy! To the point I had to lay down! My head feels heavy.Off and on my right ear feels a LITTLE bit plugged. Which I was having plugged ear problems a few weeks back but they went away! Sometimes feel my head is being gently squeezed! What could be wrong? A Anyurism?

How easily can someone break their legs? Just wondering, my friend broke his leg from a tackle, while my other friend fell off a cliff, and just shrugged it off.

For a week, I'm been feeling pain in the joint in the smallest toe on my right foot. Not right behind the nail, only where the joint is. I figured I banged it on a table or something, but the pain is getting worse. What can I do?

I sprained my foot 10 days ago -- went to ER and got it x-rayed etc. It still hurts after wrapping it and using crutches; also iced it and elevated it as instructed. I still have pain every time I step but by end of the day it is really swollen. Yesterday so swollen I had to change my shoes when I got home from work before I had an auction to go to. When I got home from that a few hours later it was even more swollen -- skin stretching. I expect pain for a few weeks, but why so swollen? I followed up with my regular internist 4 days after the injury (twisted my foot in a pot hole near my office in NYC), but I am concerned that it still swollen so much -- more now than before. Also had some calf pain last night during the night; I don't wear heels at all and have a desk job but I do commute on three trains etc. to work 5 days a week. Should I be concerned? Go back to doctor?

i had a couple days where my eye was swollen and to make it go down i put ice on it for about 10minutes and when i took it off i freaked when i say that my lower eyelid was sagging, i froze it down like that with the ice, and now everytime i llok in the mirror i see my eyes uneven and one of my lower eye lids sagging. do you think this is possible? for ice to change my skin forever? or do you think this is all in my head, and i look the same as i did prior to all this? please answer, thank you

I think I am draining blood from my brain through my nose. I was wrestling, everything was fine; I have no obvious injuries or lacerations. I did not lose consciousness and I do not think I have a concussion as my pupils are equally sized and react to light.

Yet every time I blow my nose there is blood in it. There aren't any cuts inside my nose and the bleeding has been going on for almost a day.

What's happening, should I be concerned and what is the best course of treatment?
