I was playing street hockey for about an 1hr 1/2 (It is -10 degrees). I went in and noticed my legs felt really cold. I went in the shower and noticed slight bluness, so I put the warm/hot water on it and rubbed it. It went away(bluness) and its only been slightly red for an hour or so. I put on pants, and I am keeping it warm now without any rubbing(it does not burn that much any more). Is there anything wrong?

A friend of mine took a pretty good spill on his mountain bike and said afterwareds his throat hurt like he was sick. A CAT scan showed he fractured his orbital which is healing but he still complains of his throat. Its been a few weeks and he can spot small traces of blood every so often when he coughs. He also mentioned his adams apple "clicks" when he moves it to the side with his fingers.

I need at least 10-12 hours of sleep in order to have a good nights sleep! Any hour or two less than that and I spend the whole day nodding off. Sometimes, my sleep routine is stuck in a nocturnal stage when I sleep too late (I end up waking up in the afternoon or even at night) and it is impossible for me to adjust back to day time. I have absolutely NO will power at all to force myself to wake up...seriously.

My boyfriend has lived in a house with about 3 smokers for 18 years. He smoked for one year in his early teens, but quit.
I am wondering what possible damage could have been done to him, and what he should get checked for and what could be done to, I don't know, detoxify him or something.
We now live together and nobody smokes.

I think someone should invent the "step-down" cigarette. Make a line of cigarettes with different levels of nicotine in them to work sort of like the patch and gum. Would you try it if it were available? Am I on to something here? Any responses welcome.

Hi am and 26 years old and I have been having severe headaches for almost 3 weeks now.. I get usually atleast 3 a week. They are very severe but usually only one one side of the head. The one I have today seems to be only in the back of the head.. I have tried everything. The medicine, the patches, everything I can think of.. Does anybody have any at home things they do to help relieve headaches. The pain is so severe that I almost feel like going to the ER but I don't think they will be too happy about someone coming in with just a headache.. So any ideas are appreciated..

I woke up this morning with searing pain in my left hip that radiated down my leg and into the small of my back. I was lying on my left side when I woke up and immediately rolled over onto my back with my knees bent which alleviated most of the pain. It hasn't really hurt all day except for a dull ache. I also had quite a few "twitches" in my left knee over the last week. I'm 23 weeks pregnant, and have heard that sciatica can be a problem during pregnancy. I have a doctor appointment next week, but would like to know if anyone here thinks this sounds like sciatica? Do you know what the common treatments are for it? Or do I just have to live with the pain?
