General Health Care - March 2007

My husband and I have decided to quit smoking. We have done good as today is our third day and havent had a single puff of a cigarette. It seems as though we have hit a weak spell as we are making excuses and wanting to break down and go get cigarettes. I feel we have made it too far to go back to smoking now. What can we do to ease our urges and occupy our minds? Also, when is this going to get easier, cuz for me the urge to smoke has progressively got worse.

Does anyone else get the killer cramp in your calf where it wakes you up in the middle of the night and you have to jump out of bed instantly to stretch your leg out?! Or is it just me? It killed me last night and now I can barely walk on it. Is there a reason for this? Feels like I have a giant knot... How do I make the pain in my calf go away?

He told me not to do any driving,strenouis activity, etc. but now when I get up I get lightheaded and somewhat dizzy. but sitting down I feel fine, I also can eat, drink, without getting sick or throwing up. is the dizziness all part of after head injury's?

My son fell off a slide 3 ft in the air and neither one of his teachers seen the acident and they didn't bother to call an ambulance although anyone who nows anything about first aide knows you do not move a person if they have a head injury which he landed on his head, and shoulders. The school did call me and I took my son to the emergency room. Right now I am pretty up set and am debating on what to say because I don't want to blow up but I would like some suggestions on what to do. I have asked a few close friends but I think they where just saying what they thought I wanted to hear. Or what they felt would be some excitement for them.

I sleep MOSTLY on my side but have been waking up on my back, and this is causing me pain. I have a side-sleeper pillow now, can't recall exactly when I got it, but it's not ancient or anything (not new though either). I am currently experiencing a seriously painful knot in my back muscles, located near the left shoulder blade (so upper back, on left). Any suggestions of which pillow to try? (We're going tonight to get it)

It is also sometimes accompanied with neck pain and sometimes it feels as if I have a lump in my throat. I lose sleep from this because it's annoying. My doctor said it was just my ear getting congested but I think it has to do with anxiety?

Strengthening and better movement exercises? I had a lumbar fusion L-4/5 about a yr ago, and I am having trouble with it. I used to have some exercises but misplaced the papers. It would be great to find some on the net somewhere. Thanks!

I am 23. A few years ago I was dignosed with sciatica. I went to pt, but had to end early cause my insurance got cut off. Well, evrey once in a while my leg flares up BAD. I can barely stand or put any weight on it. It mostly happns when it reains, or work has been especlly hard, or even excess walking. I do excersises every nite, but i still get intense flare ups. Well, I want to lose weight..of course thenbest way is thru excersise. I want to know if there are any excersises I can do that will be effective, yet be gentle on my energy. I donr need many flare ups, cause they prevent me from working etc. Plus, lately, my other leg has started hurting. So, i am also worried botu injusring another body part. Plz, any info would be helpful. I was told I have to live with this, but I wqant it as painfree as possible. I have a kid, a full time job, and I'm a full time college student. Flare ups affect me now...but I want to lose weight. Is there any possible way to go botu this?
