anyone have an idea about how to get rid of cyatic nerve inflamation. I've done all kinds of inflamation pills, gone to doctor and was given excercises to help, which have done nothing. It is about 90 % better than I started but can't seem to get rid of it permantly. Any ideas would be a great help.It has been 4 weeks now.,

I was crouching down this morning to get something out from under my sink and felt an extremely intense pain from my tailbone up into my lower back. It was difficult to breath afterwards and I'm in immense pain when I try to bend down now. It even hurts when I walk. I have no basis of comparison as I've never had problems with my back but is it possible I put my back out? If so, what should I do? I've been using a heating pad and took some motrin.

I'm getting my ear lobes pierced in a few weeks, and I was wondering how much it hurts. What sort of stuff could I use to to clean my newly pierced ears too? thanks.

PS. I'm getting my ears pierced at Claire's but I really don't want to use the stuff that they would give me.

I have been to the hospital today because i couldnt breath and had to take huge breaths in to feel like i had enough oxygen and i have pains in my lungs. When i got to the hospital i was told it was a panic attack brought on by stress and i had too much oxygen and was hyperventilating. This started happening yesterday and was much worse when i got up. Now the pain is still there but i am breathing fine. I cant believe that i did this to my self. I have always thought that i had took on too much but thought i was coping. I have 3 children, 4 dogs,Lots of other pets too, i have an ebay shop, a website shop, i do avon, all the housework and have just got all of my stuff in to start making my own sexy lingerie to sell. Do you think that is too much to take on in one go and can what do you think about what happened.
Ps i am a very happy person too that is another reason i was so supprised though my mum does suffer from these

actually the doctors have diagnosed gall stones in my gall bladder.
i used to get pain in the abdomen in the middle just after getting acidity.
i feel a little constipation while my pain is on.
the doctors have suggested to remoe gall bladder but i am very afraid of it.
i heard about a surgery in which they break the stones using a laser and other technique is laproscopic surgery?
so i am bit confused which one is better because the doctors say that in laser surgery the gall bladder will not be destroyed only the stones will get crushed.????????

one more question---- i want to clear my doubts regarding gall stones so is there any sites where i can contact to a doctor online( like i posted the question and i get the reply in 15-20 min.)

please it is urgent
help me

A couple days ago, I tripped and fell funny. Now the inside of my knee hurts really bad most of the time, but a lot more when I walk, and sometmes, there is a sharp, stabbing pain. It also feels wobbly and loose.

I've been icing it and resting it.

Please help...
I have an audition for a musical in about 2 weeks, and I have to be able to dance for it...
What can I do to make the pain go away? Do I need to go to the doctor (because I'd rather not...I hate that place....)?

I was fine yesterday, but when I woke up this morning my left side of the tongue was sore. I wasn't sure what were the causes. Does anybody know what causes sore tongues? Like, is it part of some kind of cold or flu? Serious answers please.

The united states is the richest country in the world I don’t know why they cant give everyone universal healthcare for Pete sakes Cuba has universal healthcare and they are a poverish country. I think its the lobby groups from the insurance companies that are keeping us from having universal healthcare. there shouldn’t be a price on a persons health shame on the government. all these people care about is profits and more profits I think its sick. all the candidates are all talk and no action they don’t have a plan to fix healthcare.

It doesn't hurt unless I touch it, and then it is just tender. I never had this before. Will it just clear up?

I have been feeling very ill since Monday. I visited the doctor on Tuesday and he checked out my ears, throat, heart etc for symptoms of the flu and he said I appeared OK.

I am extremly dizzy, I have to remain laying down. I get hot and cold flashes where I start sweating and feel very dizzy like I am going to throw up and must lay down. I usually drink 1 liter of water a day and have NOT been consuming water the past 5 or so days so I am guessing I am very dehydrated.

I have to go to work tommorrow and work this whole weekend. I need to get better tonight! I know I need to OD on water but what else would help?? Please help me I am so miserable :(
