I keep getting all these e-mails or spam offering to make me money for filling out surveys that ask me to buy something (marketing). Isn't it illegal to mislead people by promising them a job only to ask them for a credit card number for a purchase?

For the last several weeks i have been unable to extend my knee and seem to have swelling ab owe my knee cap. I've tried using an ace bandage but this is not helping. Ice and elevation haven't helped either.

I've just joined the track team at my highschool, and after the first few days of practice my legs are so sore that I can barely walk. I know that after a few weeks it will get better, but is there any suggestions you have for me to soothe my muscles???

I have a cut inside my cheek, very deep by my last molar (wisdom teeth)
i think somehow I bit it during my sleep and it keeps hurting everytime I chew or clench my jaw.
I'm using anbesol to numb it when I eat but still kinda hurts.
I just used mouth was cuz it said antiseptic.
should I just wait for it to heal or is there any oral ointments that i should use.. does it make a big difference?

I had been on 20 mg Prednisone for 10 days for Mononucleosis. I didn't have any side effects when I was taking them, but I stopped taking them yesterday as my doctor told me and now a lot of my muscles are sore. I didn't do anything strenuous or sleep wrong, when I woke up this morning I felt fine. Now I ache all over. Is this a side effect from Prednisone? Or because I'm coming down off it or what?

I was messing around and kicked a medicine ball labeled "4-5 pounds", now my toe (Left big toe), throbs badly when I walk and the top has started to turn dark blue, and when I move it, it feels like it is being smashed with a hammer. (OUCH!)

I've been under a lot of stress lately, and with OGT's next week, and much more coming up, I just need to find a way to destress that works. In January I got into a pretty bad breakup. The next day, my first horse died. She was a 23 yr old arabian mare, and put the shine in my eyes and the warmth in my heart. I've been involved in FFA, 4H, Student Council, school musical, driver's ed., cheerleading (tryouts the week of final dress rehearsal!) and babysitting. My summer won't be much better with a trip to Europe and counseling at some camps, along with 4H. All of this has been weighing so heavily on me, and I just need to de-stress, and try to find myself again. I've feared depression, but its not that severe.I want that place that I used to have when I would ride my horse Chester in the fields, no saddle and just a halter and bridle. I want that total piece and happiness, or something similar because it will never be the same with Chester gone. Thanks to everyone, and God Bless
