I have had an eye twitch for two month, everyday allmost non-stop my lower right eye lid is twitching. I went to see a doctor she said there is nothing she can do, except to put me on tranquilizers if i'm too nervous which i'm not. I had a lot of stress during past summer, so I'm thinking that could be a reason. It is really uncomfortable and distracting, i'm afraid i might get a major muscle developed under my eye if I won't stop it somehow :). Please help.

There is a very painful twitch between the bone in my hand and the base of my thumb bone. The twitch is so strong it makes my entire thumb spasm. It's shoots back anf fourth and reminds me of the jerking movement of a second hand on a wall clock. It causes awful pain in my palm, around my thumb and into the center of my wrist. I don't remember injuring my hand or arm and would love ANY advice on what may be happening. Not sure if it's connected, but I have some pain in my left shoulder, but not nearly as bad as my thumb/wrist. Thanks for any help!!

What could really happen if someone slept with contacts in? Does anything really happen or is it just something Dr.s say to make you clean them? It may seem stupid but I'm just wondering.

I am 26 weeks pregnant and during the early weeks I began to suffer slight back pain, now it is progressively worse. I was diagnosed two months ago with "a touch of sciatica" since then I feel it is much worse. I walk for exercise, but now I I hobble, ( I walked 5 miles yesterday, I try to get 15 miles a week and I want to be in shape for labor ) I cannot stretch,enough , it hurts so much, a sharp pain in my lower lower back almost my bottom. What can I do? I rested today but there is no improvement in the pain. If I sit too much my feet and ankles swell and I hobble, if I exercise I hobble. (my OB warned me about deep vein thrombosis so I need to stay active) Please only helpful responses, I don't need to be welcomed into the "wonderful world of pregnancy" no sardonic responses please!

When i get up in the morning after drinking (alcohol) i have pains mostly in my legs and knees, they feel like the growing pains you get when you are young, and it happens every time. i told my mom about it, and she said that she gets the same thing after she drinks. the first time it happened i thought that i might have been alittle sore from dancing and being on the feet all night, but a few times after that i didn't do anything out of the ordinary while i was drinking. what causes this pain?

My handsome, intelligent 17 year-old has fallen in with the wrong crowd, he is entering rehab very soon! How long does it take for the pot to get out of his system? Will his body crave it, or his mind?
Will he be in pain? I love him so very much, he has a bright and prosperous future, if he can stay clean. Please help. Thank you.

I had my daughter 7 months ago, and for the last couple months, of holding her in my arms, carrying her, and sleeping with her cuddled in my arms, I wake up in such pain and numbness. I have stopped and put her down alot but there are times I can't. It has gotten to the point, just picking anything up hurts and I have no strengh. Nothing works for relief. Is there something wrong with me?

i went to this site months ago but now i cant remember which one it was.. it is like a fan fiction or something but i think the editor made it.. it is like a screencap (a series of them like the scenes from the movie harry potter) and then there is a caption underneath which is funny.. these are several movie stills or pictures of the scenes according to their order in the movie with captions.. it is not the caption contest from mugglenet.com.. i've also searched mugglenet but i cant find it there though i think that is the site.. im not sure.. pls give me the link, not just the site if you know it..

thanks!!
