General Health Care - June 2007

I have found my fathers pills and would like to know what it is. He had it in the bottle with his heart medication ( I know what that is) but I am just curious. I know it is something the doc prescribed him but I still want to know.
It is a round yellow pill, on one side there is a cut mark through the center and on the other side it has the number 93 above and 832 below. Any help with this would be so appriciated. I have looked all over the web but cant find what I am looking for. If anyone knows please answer me back. Just to ease my mind. Thank you alot.

I am a nurse so I am constantly lifting people from bed, helping them to stand, or turning them on their sides in bed. Some are a lot bigger than I am. recently our work has had a lot of workers (mid 20s - mid 40s) going down to working only part time and other workers taking time off with workers comp for reasons such as a bad back or arms hurting. how can I make sure this is not me in a few years?

I have a sleep problem. I sleep late and wake up very very early. And in the afternoon, my brain wants to take naps but I can't. What do I do? P.S. Dont put your answer as sleeping pills or sleep clinic.

I've been having pains at the base of my spine and to the right of the bottom of my back. I went to the doc and he did some tests (one where I had to pull both hands whilst he hit my knee) and he told me my back was weak. He told me to do some back strengthening exercises (which I've forgotten how to do) and come back in a month.

Right now it hurts. A few months back, whilst lying down, I had really sharp pains there, unbearable. Then it went away. Could it be that I was doing situps wrong? In PE, the teacher said that you only have to go up to 45 degree, if you go past 90, then your back starts working.

My father-in-law recently fell ill and has been transported to a nursing home. Insurance will cover 100 days in the nursing home. We would like to bring him home but he needs someone to be there with him constantly, as he is unable to do much for himself. We were thinking of paying my 23 year old daughter to do this as she had a baby 8 months ago and is between jobs. Although she has not had any medical training, she is extrememly bright and I know she could handle this, plus, she loves her grandfather very much. What would be a "fair" price to pay her? We live in Ohio.

Well there you have it, how can we bang on about what is good and what is not good for ourselves when we clearly should just be a bit more relaxed.

Hi All,

I have started feeling tired and weak towards evenings from the past 2 weeks or so. The work is not very hectic, for this to be attributed. I smoke around 5 - 6 cigs a day and from the past 2 days am smoking 1 cig a day. i have normal food and have started eating 2 bananas in the noon after lunch and take 2 capsules of cod liver oil (morning and night).

I feel weak and tired towards evening and am fresh after the sleep.

Please suggest

My sister has had leg problems in the past. She has dislocated her knee caps, and dances a lot. she will move about a lot and then shortly after lay down or sit for an extended period of time. Then when she goes to bed she often complains about her legs hurting. She describes it as a pain in her lower leg and says it feels like it is moving but it isn't. What in the world is she feeling? does anyone know what she is talking about? and what causes it?
