Just moved into a flat that has a bed with springs and a mattress on top that is both soft and sags in the middle. Could this be the cause of my lower back pain. If this is the case, which type should I get to prevent back ache and hopefully help cure the pain?

I was making dinner last night and got attacked by bacon grease on my arm. It's about 2" wide and an inch and a half high. Burned like the dickens even after I ran water over it. Then I took my crumble cake out of the oven and some of the butter and sugar landed on exactly the same spot as the bacon grease. Double yeooow! It's not burned bad enough to go to the hospital and is just barely at the "i could blister but maybe I don't want to stage". But it really hurts because it's on the inside of my forearm and nothing's killing the pain. Does anyone have any ideas what i can do to make it feel better?

I was seeing an orthopedic specialist because my dr originally thought that I had hip displaysia but when the specialist did furhter testing, he saw nothing wrong with my hips and diagnosed me with a bulging disc which showed up on an MRI of my spine. But he more or less said that I shouldn't be feeling much pain if any and made feel completely stupid for going to him which wasn't my choice anyway. So i'm just wondering if this is normally painful or if there could be something else wrong.

I have tendonitis and plantar fasciaitus (heel pain) and arthritis in my feet and spine and hip - I think the worst is in feet coz you cannot avoid walking and I have been told today that I will just have to put up with it. 24/7. How come, in this day and age does anybody have to be in so much pain? Paracetomol wont work. Allergic to aspirin and ibuprofen. Codeine just knocks me out and i can not function. Wot's left? I try to remain cheerful, but sometimes I feel like a moaning minnie and it is restricting my life quite severely.

I had four wisdom teeth and an impacted canine out on Friday. Today (Weds.), I feel as though I have been hit by a bus. If I take an ibuprofen at 10:30 AM, then a hydrocodone two hours later (12:30 PM), will I be O.K. to drive at 5:30 PM to my grad school class (it is 30 mins away)?

He has been outside this morning and could hold himself up. (he is 11 yrs old 72 LB yellow lab retriever, injured one of his back legs yrs ago and has favored it ever since it is difficult to only have 2 good legs to hold him.Tried to keep an icepack on but only stayed for awhile I am curious how can I check to see if the leg is broke?

My husband has been on Oxycodone for about a year and a half. (He's had both hips and both shoulders replaced along with some other surgeries). I don't like the effect these have on him and neither does he (he sleeps extremely heavy-can't wake up to an alarm clock, not nearly as much interest in sex or physical activities, etc.) He used to be on Lortab before the doctor switched him to Oxy. He wants to switch back to Lortab because they are cheaper and they don't have as much of the side effects. I am wondering if anyone else has made this switch. Will he have real bad withdrawal symptoms while weaning off the Oxy and gradually starting Lortab?

Robert Jones, a 3 week old baby is in the neonatal intensive he has been diagnosed
with Type one diabetes. The doctors advise his parents that they believe that Robert’s
interests would be best served by using the latest therapeutic cloning methods to cure
his diabetes. This treatment would require the destruction of a fertilized ova in order to
get the T cells needed for the treatment.
