My father in law is paralyzed from the waist down. I was wondering if anyone can help me get information about getting an accessible van for him from a state or government agency.

Have been operated 2 weeks ago and am still experiencing some discomfort. Is that normal? I've taken all the medicines prescribed and have not made any strenuous activities or lifted anything heavy as advised by the surgeon.

it feels like someone's dammed up a whole bunch of water behind it, and it feels like it's pressing down on my eardrum. it'll do that for a few seconds, then go away, only to do it again a few mins later. it's not painful, just irritating. any ideas on what could be doing it?

I don't mean to get personal, but I was wondering, if you can tell me, what the total cost was, of having that done, and how it looked when it healed. I'd also like to ask, how long it took it to heal, and how long you have to wait to get your ear re-pierced?Thanks in advance!!!

Other day I passed out and I don’t know why and I just wanted to know what happens your body when you pass out. It was really weird I was just standing there and I got really dizzy and then I felt like I was going to throw up and then I got a little weak and then I closed my eyes and then all I remember was waking up on the floor I don’t really remember falling or hitting the floor and it felt like I stopped breathing for a minute. Then it was like my legs and arms were twitching. Then the person that was there said to me “could you see me and I was like “no not really” then he said O because your eyes were rolled back into your head” Is all that normal when you pass out? I don't think I had a seizure because they said I fainted but when I woke up a little I had a little spit on the side of my mouth.Please help me figure this out thanks

I was doing hurdles on March 26, Monday, and I landed on the left side of my left foot, so that the sole of my foot pointed towards the right instead of the ground. I heard and felt my bones kind of snap. Now, it hurts when I walk, I can't do a toe raises on that foot, and I can't jog. I have to LIMP. There's no swelling though. What do I do? PLEASE HELP!

I sprained my ankle quite bad several months ago - before winter started. I didn't go see a doctor because I dont have insurance right now, but my ankle is still somewhat swollen, and although I have free range of motion and can stand and walk, there is pain when i move it suddenly or sit with my legs crossed for too long. I am mostly concerned about the swelling. Should I go see a doctor or just shrug it off as i have been doing?

I have a 4 years old niece. She has been sucking her thumb forever now. She does not seem to be getting rid of this habit despite of all our efforts and methods. As a result of this her teeth have started protruding outwards as well as the frontal gum area is also getting disfigured. Any help/suggestion in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

I used to beable to wake up easily feeling energized and ready to exercise and workout before I went to work. Now a days I will throw my alarm clock across the room, and I wake up 30 minutes before I go to work. And now a days when I get home, Im too tired to do anything at all. Dont know what to do, and I go to bed with plenty of time to sleep, so its not a need for sleep. What can I do?

As a growing teen, I need more sleep. I cannot go to sleep. I have to wake-up at 5:20 every morning and go to bed at 10:30. Besides getting more sleep, I can never go fall asleep. Things are always on my mind and I am so compulsive that it takes me like half an hour before I got to sleep.

I plan to go to bed at 9:30, but it takes me about an hour after I reach bed to go to sleep. I need to fall asleep faster and grow taller to get girl friends.
