I have a Bunion. I am going to see a podiatrist but have been told that if surgery is needed they will only remove it and not break the bone, which is needed to correct the foot problem. Is this true?

My son had stitches a week ago. I was just wondering if it would be ok to put an antiseptic salve on them, and if it would help them heal better/faster. I know you can also use Neosporin or anything with Bacitracin, but salve has always healed things up faster for me! Thanks!

I have had two spinal epidurals. The pain was from a fall on my back and I had to do something after four months of useless "therapy" I am normally a very athletic person, strong and of normal weight, a professional dancer most of my adult life.
My question is this: I do not like chemicals in my body. What are the immediate and lasting effedcts of the steroids themselves?

I have a long history of stomach problems which became worse recently to the point I couldn't function, I had to ask my Dr for a referral to a specialist there are 4 Dr's in that group and 2 have been treating other family members for a while, so I requested one of the two and one specifically I did not want because of poor bedside manner any way it took 1 week to get the appointment and low and behold it was the Dr I had specifically asked not to have, my Dr's nurse cancelled the appointment and it's been another week and I still don't have a appointment my nurse said the specialist office was very upset and wanted to know why I didn't want this Dr. my nurse also said I've not got an appointment because she felt I'm being punished for cancelling the first one. Back to my primary Dr I shouldn't be having to ask for test or referrals he should be suggesting that to me right? Thank God I have ER for back up if I get any worse.

The pains started last night and come and go, sometimes they are so severe that i double over in pain and have to lay there until they subside. I have never been in this much pain before and am not sure whether it is worth it to go to the hospital or not?

My boyfriend has been trying to give up smoking for just over a year, we have tried everything from hypnotherapy to patches but nothing works, his health his getting worse everyday.

He has recently been to the local nurse to explain what we're going through, but she had quit smoking using willpower alone so said that this was all he needed, as you can imagine, this did not help as we are both trying really hard.

I realise that people who have never smoked will find it hard to believe the struggle we are going through but if anyone has some real advice please let me know as we are running out of options

I have a chronic disease with my bladder and I have been prescribed hydrocodone 10/325 for over a year. Thankfully I had a procedure done to alleviate most of the pain that I have been experiencing [ the pain probably will return in 3-6 months--I will have to have the procedure done again ]. The problem is I have become highly addicted to the pain medicine and I did not take it as prescribed. The doctor doesn't know that I have been abusing it and now I cannot get any refills. If truth be told, I really don't want to take this medication anymore, however, I am scared to death to go through the withdrawl. I have gone through withdrawl a couple of times but I always managed to get some meds so it would stop. It is excrutiating and I know that in order to kick this habit I need to do this. My question is, is there any way to get through this with as much comfort as possible? Please don't give me a hard time about this as I already hate myself because of this addiction.

I had surgery on the 16th of March, female stuff but included a partial hysterectomy. I have been taking Percocet 5 mg 2 pills every 4 since surgery. I want to stop taking it but when I go to long I feel fluish and kinda weird. Can I take Motrin for those symptoms until they go away??? Or tylenol? I know it has only been a week on the Percocet but I just do not want to get addicted to that type of med.
