I work with the public and although we are separated by a glass partition, I pass paperwork back and forth under the window. Aside from the fact that I look like I've been crying uncontrollably for a week, I wonder about the health factor for the public. If I am just passing paperwork back and forth is it still contagious?

I have been walking 1 mile each day for about 1 month. And on every walk my calves hurt and then after the top of my feet go numb. I have good walking shoes that support. Any ideas what it might be?

Just a little background before I describe the problem.

I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed by an oral surgeon under general anesthesia. The surgery was painless, other than the fact that Ihad lot of swelling and muscle tightness on one side and could hardly eat for a week. In 2-3 weeks, the swelling has subsided completely, eating is back to normal. Now the problem.

2 weeks after my surgery, I started going to the gym and that is when I discovered that any kind of aerobic exercise (treadmill, elliptical trainer etc.) starts a throbbing pain on the upper side (of the side which had the swelling the first week). Initially I thought, that was because I was trying to run. The next day, I noticed that the throbbing pain shows up even when I do a brisk walk...I usually walk fast. I don't have any pain otherwise, have followed all post surgery instructions and am wondering why do I get the pain? Should I go back to the oral surgeon for a check? Please help. Thanks.

Promoting Better Health Care instead of prescription drugs. For example: Lunestra--helps you sleep through the night? Commercial asks if you can't stay asleep; if you toss and turn and can't go back to sleep?
Why aren't there any Public Health Ads educating people to exercise more, eat better to sleep better or be more fit? Especially since obesity is now a national epidemic, for example.
FDA could do ads. Why don't they?

Some doctors say it's migraine, others TMJ disorder, yet none of the treatments help me. I'm on disability because of this chronic/acute pain. Any similar experiences? What has worked for you?

Due To Pain I am Treating Others Poorly?
I am waiting to have a 2nd Total Knee Replacement in 4 years. I am in my 40's. After a life of activity and fun it may be 4 more months before the surgery can be done due to finances. I am miserable. The pain is unbearable. The cement that held my replacement together came apart and is completely gone! My husband will not let the DR prescribe pain pills for me until after the surgery because he does not believe in pain relievers for any reason other that severe surgery. I am mad at him. I feel so bored I can't stand it. I have read, done needlepoint, everything I can think of without using my knee. I can't work. Losing all my friends. Nice, huh. My husband says I'm causing his life to be nothing but ****. He just doesn't how hard this is. How can I be nicer. I am tired of staring at the walls and I really don't feel like I bother him. I am going crazy and so anxious I could go through the roof. Are there any support groups around? Thanks.

I am lookign to buy one of these mattress because I suffer from alot of back pains following a bad car accident. I wanted to know your opinion, do you recommend, do you feel more relaxed in the morning, do you get a good night sleep?
My physiotherapist says that whatever anomalies we have in our posture (I have a curvature in my lower back) this mattress will support, instead of correcting (my back should be placed straight, but this mattress would encouragemy back to curve), this is why I hesitate. Also, does it keep the shape of your body over time (like after 6 months of using the mattress every night), or the mattress always regain its original shape even after having spent so many hours sleeping on it? I would imagine the weight of the body to form a crease int he mattress, does it?
Thanks so much

I have had two professions (first hairdresser for many years, now been a computer geek for several years). My hands tingle whenever I am on the computer too long (daily), or when I try to hold a phone for an extended period of time. Will I be a candidate for some type of surgery or what is the usual way they got about getting rid of the tingling.

Since the very morning that the time changed to daylight savings, I have been so tired in the mornings. I can't seem to get going like I was prior to that. I go to bed at the same time everynight, but in the mornings instead of waking up rested, I can barely make myself get up. My husband is feeling the same way. He suggested I ask and see if we're the only ones, or if it is effecting others the same way. It doesn't seem like it should matter, but we have noticed this since day one!!!
