I had a compressed disk in my spine when i was 14 (jumped off a high roof) and have had probs ever since - im 22 now. as a result i got a slight scoliosis and every now and then my back "flares up" the muscle next to my spine on left hand side gets incredibly sore and inflammed, i cant twist to the left.

my doctor prescribed me Naproxen 500 for the pain, but it does absolutely nothin except make me nausious (spelling)

anyone with a similar back pain issue- what have you been prescribed that actually worked - help

If so, was it something that you saw a commercial for and went and asked your doctor for it, or did you have a problem and the doctor prescribed soemthing for you. Also, how many prescription meds are you on? Do you think Commercials for prescription meds should be stopped?

But....I don't want my friend to get in trouble. Was his wife's fault combined with a broken fence, and a very VERY aggresive dog. ( I didn't know the fence was broken, and was standing what should have been a safe distance.) So........
What do I do about the wound, its a pretty nice chunk of mangled skin. I don't really do the hospital/doctor thing. Have great insurance if I have to. It doesn't need stiched, but there is always the chance, allthough in this case a very SLIM chance of rabies? Are there recognizable symptoms? Am I too hard-headed and should go to the Doc? What will happen to the friend and/or his dog?

I'm drunk too but not that drunk, she threw up everywhere, tried to stand up and then hit her head on a ledge when she fell back down. She's breathing okay, I try to wake her up and take her to the bathroom but she can't move. Should I just let her stay on the floor or try to move her?

For vicodin....Can drinking vinegar or pickle juice increase your chances of passing a drug test? If so...how much do you drink and for how long before your drug test?........Also...will drinking alot of water get it out quicker?

Is cracking bones like knuckles or neck harmful in any way? Some people say it causes arthritus and others say its not harmful at all.

I live in a very loud neighborhood in a popular college town in FL... so i use ear plugs every night to avoid the noise and sleep peacefully. Is it safe on my ears? I change them like every 3-5 days but i'm afraid that it could cause some type of damage to my ears. Am i more prone to ear infections? Please let me know because i've searched online and there's little information on the long term use of ear plugs. I think ear plugs are a lot better than sleeping pills. Thanks!

I didn't break anything. But I hit the ground hard. I first felt pain by my lower back - then on my right hip - which is what I fell on - the horse was running when I fell. It feels like the muscles don't want to expand and move for me when I do, they feel tight and it is worse with the ice - but they said i must do it for swelling... I am very stiff and I am starting to get sore in more places. They gave me vicodin but it only helped a little for about 2 hours. I can take it every six. They told me to ice it and I just put on icy hot. So with the way I hit the ground - is it a muscle strain? I would like a name for the injury so I can look it up more online....

Any help is great

thanks!
