General Health Care - May 2007

I have a really bad achy to sharp pain in my lower right side from my Crohn's Disease and I am taking Tramadol and/or Vicodin as needed. Tylenol does not help at all whatsoever and I don't want to become dependent on controlled drugs.

My ankle is swollen from the top of my foot to about 4" above it. I haven't injured it in any way. It has only the swelling as a symptom. There is no pain, or redness. It does not look like cellulitis. It's been this way for probably 2-4 weeks. I have a scheduled appointment with my doctor in June. Thank you.

I have torn a calf muscle a week ago, at the moment i am still just about walking on tiptoe, and unable to strighten my leg. Is this normal not to be able to strighten your leg because of the pain it gives. Also, What is it when i put my leg down from having it elevated the pain in the muscle appears, but as soon as i raise it again it goes off.

I was mucking about on Saturday jumping on my husbands back playing bucking bronco.....

Don't even ask....LOL :)

he had hold of both my legs around his waist, when this giant gonk here decides to let go of his shoulders with both hands.....My husband still had ahold of my legs.....I went flying backwards & smacked my head on the pavement.......knocked myself out for a few seconds....hubby says my eyes were rolling & I vomited.....an ambulance was called & I spent the next 5 hours in hospital.....I don't recall a lot about it although I'm getting flashbacks now.....I haven't had any headaches as such....just pain from the bump on the back of my head & dizziness.
I'm training for the London to Brighton bike run which is in just over 4 weeks time.
When will it be safe for me to get back out there cycling? I don't want another fall & certainly don't want to put others in danger if it's too early yet.
I know it may seem like a daft question but, what do you think?

hello.....

for the last couple of days, I've had a very sore, almost excrutiating pain in my eyes and sockets whenever I move my eyes to the left and right more than just slightly. It's almost a fist clutching pain and it sends a shock of pain in my head.

I would say it started a couple nights ago after I threw up. While in the middle, I saw 'stars' or spots. I threw up because I was eating and a friend showed me a disgusting picture. Ah, it brings back horrors now.

Anyways, any info and insight would be awesome.


thanks!!

I can't breathe, exhale or inhale through my nose. I try to blow my nose and barely nothing comes out. I rub vicks on my nose, throat and chest but it doesn't seem to help since I can't even inhale a little bit to make it feel better. I use Nasicort 2 sprays in each nostril once a day and it doesn't help at all only for about half hour. After that nothing seems to let up.

I have this really huge thing at school on Friday where I'm reciting mostly everything. This stuffy nose causes me to hear less (people say I sound louder than I actually do but to me I think I sound fine). It also sucks to breathe through your mouth, my tongue gets dry when i sleep and hurts when I wake up.

I also have a vicks humidifier. And it doesn't seem to help either since I'm not breathing it in directly.

I've also been mucus conjested for 2.5 years and no doctor has seemed to help.

Anybody recommend any OTC drugs or even behind the pharmacy where no prescription is required?

Thanks in advance.

i've had this before and have had arthroscopic surgery on the same knee. i thought it was over but, it's full of fluid again. does anyone know ; is there a chance the fluid will recycle itself back to wherever it came from or am i really going to have to have it drained again? i really hate that. and by the way, where does this fluid come from anyway and why does it settle in the knee?

I'm always tired. Even if i sleep 4 hours or 10 hours, I am still tired throughout the day. I eat at least 3 meals per day, and drink plenty of liquid... i even get some type of exercise in (walking, pool) so its not like i'm inactive. I always try to go to bed around the same time if not few mins before/after. I don't wake up at the same times, because I have different schedule depending on the day or what I have to do. When I wake up and even throughout the day my eyes feel like I haven't slept and they feel itchy (like itchy/bothering as if you haven't slept for 2 days, not as real itchiness).

Anyone know how can I fix this tiredness problem... or anyone know what could it be?

For the past week I have been stomach pains. I have been to the hospital and my Doctor they both said that my blood work looks good and that my white blood cell count was also good. The pain had first started in my left rib and went up into my left breastbone, that pain and started to go away then I noticed when I eat the pain would be on the left side below my ribs, today the pain seems to be going from side to side left to right and it is anywhere from under my breast to the bottom part of my belly area. I do have an IBS and Acid Reflux which I take prilosec for.I've also had a bit of a fever my normal temp runs about 96.5 but lately it has been between 97-99 the doctor doesnt seem to concerned like it is anything but I've never had stomach pain for a week. It does go away for a lil bit but it comes back. I just wanted to know if anyone has ever had this problem or may know what it could be?

I have a lot of questions..
Why do christians pick and choose which scripture they want to take literally?
Why do christians think it's ok to use derogatory terms regarding gays? Do they not think that comes from hate? Why do christians insist on ranking sin? I thought all sins were equal in god's eyes?
Why do christians always throw out the "body is a temple" scripture when many christian families stuff their faces every sunday, sometimes more with horrible, fatty, resturant food? Yea, I often see them at the buffet.
Why do christians try and push christianity on to people that are truly happy with their own faith?
Why are fellow christians ostrasized for having mental illness or simply being sad. They're told to perk up, jesus loves you! Or it's attributed to demonic posession/opression because the sufferer must have "let something in" or just needs to be stronger in their walk with god.
This isnt a hate post.. just some thoughts that run through my head pretty frequently.
