Years ago, my dad was at a dance and was actually doing the 'twist' at the time. He was also holding a female in the air with him arms. Well they next day he was in excruiating pain on both legs, on the inside of the legs, just below the knee. Its not actually the knee, it is just below on the inside leg and feels very painfull, tender and like a burning sensation.

Since then, this pain has come back time and time again. My folks are huge rock and rollers and love to dance, but this problem is causing my dad a lot of pain. He is 63 years old. Does anyone know what it could be, or what maybe the twist action did? My only thoughts are because his upper body was fairly stationery when he was dancing (as he was holding the female), so he wasn't necessarily turning with it, could he have twisted something and caused long term damage? Any help, any remedies, any advice much appreciated for my dancing dad! thank you in advance!

I went to Texas Heat Wave yesterday and am now BURNT!! I've read all the questions and answers on here and came across the one where you could use Noxzema and it would help alot. I was wondering if you could use Clean & Clear Deep Action Cream Cleanser as a replacement for Noxzema?? I mean it smells the same and also works the same too me. All I want to do is take the redness out of the burn, there is NO pain at all. If someone could get back to me ASAP I would really appreciate this.

Lately, I've been getting heartburn, sometimes that lasts for around 24 hours. It's not always necessarily typical "heartburn," but sometimes, just a funny feeling in my throat, as I've swallowed a pill without enough water. This has been happening for nearly 3 weeks now, every couple days or so. I've taken Zantac and Tums, neither of which have helped very much. I've been to the doctor once, when it was pretty severe, and she had no idea what to tell me, which was awfully disconcerting.

Any suggestions?

Sometimes I'll get strange pain in my legs, and I'm not sure where it's coming from or why. It will extend from my lower back, through my hips, thighs, and calves, and to my ankles. It doesn't feel like muscle pain, and can sometimes ache for days. Could it be some kind of referred pain or trouble with nerve connections?

Has anybody heard of/had any experience with the so-called, amazing "Sleep Number Bed"? S'posedly, users can adjust the mattress firmness on this thing ... just wondered if there was anything to this and I should bother to call for a free complete information package.

Thanx loads!

I was told that they do by someone that went to Canada once and they said they never bothered them while they were there. Were going there and I was hoping that might work.
I bought the odorless garlic tablets... Do you think they will work?

Honestly, couldnt Yahoo at least hide the medical questions so that they are only visable to people that click on medical?

In the last day, when reading the list of Yahoo questions I have been subjected to:

Blood when I wipe
I am pregnant and bloody stools
This is disgusting, but, why do I discharge
My anus hurts and bleeds

HOLY CRAP, lets get this under control...NOONE in their right mind wants to read that unless they are experiencing it.

Please Yahoo...FIX IT!
