Okay I just recently heard that they discovered Tylenol (Headache med.) caused liver promblems! Would this also apply to the Infants Tylenol as well? Any one up to date on the Tylenol Issues?

I had blisters on the backs of both my ankles, around my achilles. One went away without me noticing, but the other was not so easy. I popped it using a sharp ring and when I did, this water-like stuff (or maybe it was water, I'm not sure) came out. What the hell was it, and should I be worried?

Well when i was doing my leg excersises, i accidentily excersised too much and know my quads are SUPER sore... like it kind of hurts to walk. I shouldn't have overdone it. I am going skiing in about 2 days, and I don't want my muscles to still be really sore by then. Will it most likely go away? What are some ways i can help reduce the pain and stress in my muscles or even make it go away so i can ski without it hurting? Ice? Advil? Any tips please!

I fell down 3 days ago and the next day I was sore in my side and back area. I have been going to work and I have a lot of lifting that I do. 15-65lb. most of the day. It has been 3 days now and the pain is so severe I can hardly walk. Could I have broken a rib?

I asked a question about my own shoulder that dislocates from time to time and everyone thinks it sounds like a rotator cuff injury. So since Mel Gibson dislocated his shoulder at will in Lethal Weapon does that mean he is (or was) walking around with a rotator cuff injury?

my eyes were stinging pretty badly. anyhow i had a frying pan on the stove which was on for quite sometime with nothing on it and without me knowing. Could the frying pan created some smoke and in effect causedmy eyes to be irratated? This is the only thing i can pin it on, as it has never happened to me before.

I hate the taste of water. I think it tastes nasty, and I only drink one glass a day if that much. I need to drink more water but i can't because its a big chore because I don't like the taste. Can you train yourself to drink water? Do you know of a flavored water that doesn't leave a bad after taste?

I had a laminectomy L5/S1 (without fusion) on Jan 25, 2007. I still have the same pain in the same places I had prior to the surgery. I have researched all the usual sites and the answers are not at all encouraging. I expected to at least be able to get by with minor residual leg pain that eventually would get better with time. I still have to use narcotics daily to get any relief. I tried just using Extra Strength Tylenol but that didn't touch the pain. I used Lyrica for a few days but it made me feel weird. I really am looking for others who have had a laminectomy to give me some encouragement and maybe share their experience with me. Will this awful leg pain ever go away so I don't have to plan my life around it??? Just for the record my leg pain started on St. Patrick's Day 2006. I tried all the conservative treatments before I finally had to give in to the surgery. I am currently doing PT which doesn't seem to help. I would love to hear that I will get better with time.

Hi everyone,

My Father who is 60 years old all the sudden one day he woke up and had trouble with his speach. He was studdering and fighting for the words to come out clearly. In the last couple of days it has cleared up a bit but I am very worried about him since he did out live all his family members so far. This is a very sensitive question for me so I would respect that I only recieve good answers and no jokes please. I know that it may be a stroke, but he refuses to go see a doctor, he says that there is nothing wrong. I wondering if anyone else had a problem like this or knew someone that this had happened too. My dad just had a full body check up that came back good, so I dont see what the problem could be all of the sudden. I am very scared and worried about him. I am looking for some input... No jokes please...

I have had a BAD pain in my jaw (right where it opens) feels like I have a tooth ache in all my lower teeth. The weird thing is it is mostly in my left side. No other symptoms. I have bad sinus problems but even when they aren't bothering me this pain is crazy! I was checked for T.M.J. the dentist thought for sure.(but no) I had xrays done. I have no cavities. It's been about 1yr. since it started. went away now it's back. Ibuprofen helps a lil but I'm taking too many. Thanks alot!

I have a broken fibula and have been wearing one of those 'boots' rather than a cast. I went and saw the doctor today and told me it is healing fine and that I will begin physical therapy next week and be doing range of motion exercises.

My question is.. would it be okay if I took off the boot when I sleep? I am very still when I sleep and couldn't imagine injuring myself further.

I know I should have asked the doc when I was in there.. but it has been healing for 21 days now..
