I would really like to hear from anyone that has had this done. How did it go? I can't seem to find anything on the internet where people are rating the surgery or talking about personal experiences.

I have unique pain, it is very sharp and pretty high on my back (right under shoulder blades) - it goes all the way across my back. If I drink a ton of water, that helps some. I haven't injured it. Any ideas on how to make it better and stop if from happening in the future?

I sleep in my car alot. The seat lays down so its comfortable and I just got the windows tinted so people can't see me easily. The only problem is that it smells like a dog house. Its not a strong odor. I vaccume it all the time and constantly spray air freshner. Nothing seems to work. I had a friend who had a deionizer in his apartment. When I walked in the air felt good, and smelled good to breath. I wonder if I could put a small one in my car?

How does it take hematoma to form after surgery? I had breast reduction surgery April 13th and the next day, I was complaining about burning under my armpit. I was wrapped up like a mummy with bandages, so there was no way for me to check that area. On the following Monday, I was getting dressed and noticed a small bruise in my arm pit. On Tuesday, the pain was so bad, I ripped off all the bandages, saw that the bruise was actually huge and fluid filled. Was the burning in my armpit on the 14th a sign that a hematoma was forming?

I was in a severe auto accident & it ****** up my back/neck & left leg. I've been & still am being treated for my injuries. I'm only able to work part time now, unable to ride my motorcycle now, hard to walk/stand very long, can't run, have chronic pain, have had to give up my position as Asst. Chief of a search & rescue team & stop doing all calls with them. I'm still a member, however can only do executive work only now. Ive been told I will have permament damage from my back & will have sciatica for the rest of my life, as a few vertabraes including the one causing the sciatica can't be fixed do to a previous spinal fusion/implant surgery. My question is, I am having a really hard time coping with the loss of function & not being able to be active like I was. I'm only 23 & don't want to live this way. What can I do for that I can feel better about being partially disabled for rest of my life, when I've always been active? My problems are from the car accident, not my back surgery.

The doctor put my mom on morphine when she was in the hospital about five months ago. They are still perscribing liquid and tablets. She is diabetic and has severe pain in her legs. My question is she seems like she has really gone down hill since they put her on it. When I talk to her she can't look me in the eyes, its like they are crossed. She can't remember things, or do just about anything. I know she is in a lot of pain and can't walk anymore, but should we have them wean her, or are they doing this for comfort because they know there is nothing else that can be done for her at this point? Thanks for any help!

I was running on the treadmill (like I always do), and about 20 minutes into my run my right knee started hurting all of a sudden and reeaalllly badly! I had to stop my exercizing, it was so painful. I was just running on the treadmill, facing forward and going at a normal pace (5mph), and I hadn't made any sudden movements or anything like that; I don't understand why it happened! It happened yesterday morning, and it still hurts, but mostly only when I walk or sit with my knee bent. I've tried ibuprofen, aleve, icy hot, putting ice packs on it, etc., but it still hurts. I took the day off exercizing today, thinking that it would be better by tomorrow and I could start again, but it still hurts and I know I won't be able to exercize tomorrow. What do you think is wrong with my knee???? What can I do to make it better?? Will it heal on its own or do I have to call my doctor? Please help me!!!

I have cervical and lumbar DDD. I have had an xray of my thorasic spine that wasn't too remarkable. I went to PT and the therapist said my rib ends were cemented into my spine. There was almost no movement where there should be. What does this mean as far as what conditions may be present. The pain is primarily constant and varies in intensity only. Movement doesn't seem to change how it feels. It is a constant ache. Both sides of the spine, just below the bottom of my shoulder blades. It moves out horizontally to the sides I have had it hurt or grab as far as my sides but it usually stays approx 2 to 4 inches from the spine.

Lead contamination?
What would be the steps a pregnant woman or a family with young children should take to reduce the chances of lead leaching into the drinking water, since lead contamination of water is a significant problem in many older buildings?
