It hurts to sit and stand. Sneezing and coughing are painful, especially while sitting. I didn't fall, lift anything heavy, or anthing else to cause it. I"ve been to a doctor and gotten accupuncture; its better but still hurts. Do you have any idea what might be wrong? (And what can help?)

Well I was practicing my karate in my private bedroom when my grandfather ran in with a glitter-ball gun and shot glitter right in my eye. Grandpa was proud, but the glitter-ball was as big as a golf ball. Since the accident I have been keeping my eye closed in fear that I might die if I open it. I would appreciate it if you would tell me what would happen if I opened my eye.
I reread what I wrote up there and it seems I did not have to mention my karate practicing. I heard from my grandpa that I am supposed to learn from the mistakes I make. If I had never made that mistake, I would not have learned a valuable lesson. I will keep my mentioning of my karate practacing as a memorial of that mistake, so that if someday I can't remember the lesson I learned from it, I can go back and review my mistake.
I would appreciate any advice about what to do about my glitter problem. Thank you, all of you, even though nobody has came to answer me as of yet. Oh dear, I am out of characaters....

My mother-in-law, who is 87, lives with us. Sometimes our commitments force us to be away for hours at a time. I would like to know what's out there that she could use that would be an emergency life-line - something like "The Pendant." Is there anything better? Something could detect a problem - say, a fall, etc. - without her having to take any action?
She has 99% of her marbles ... but just in case!

I have seen a couple of Orthopedic Doctors and they all just keep looking at the bone structure. I believe my issues are with the muscle only.

This Myleogram was so hard on my body. I woke up this morning (4 days after the myleogram) and wow, my head is pounding. Yesterday, I thought I was doing better, but I guess not. What do I do next?
Thankyou

My right upper arm, on the under side of it has hurt for almost two weeks. Through out the day, it comes and goes...and sometimes it's almost unbearable while other times it feels like hardly more than a twinge of pain. However, it doesn't hurt anymore when I stretch it or move it or put pressure on it. But seems to hurt most when it's just at my side. Although it does seem to hurt a little more sharply when I move it suddenly and quickly. It's not a kink or knot in the muscle, and it hasn't bruised. The pain feels achey, but kind of sharp as well. I'm not sure if it's the muscle or the bone, but it kinda just feels like that whole part of my arm, any ideas?

I'm gonna mention it at my physical here in a few days, but I just wanna know if you might have any ideas, so maybe I kinda know what I might be dealing with here.

Thank you.

I'm currently treating my tank for ick using salt and higher temps. The salt concentration is about 2% (4 tablespoons in a 10 gallon) and the temp is at about 86-87. My plecostemous is swimming like he's uncomfortable. Is that all it is or could he be in some sort of pain? Should I remove and quarantine him? Should I reduce the salt or temp (both were introduced gradually since yesterday)?

The last week in may i noticed i was really tired and needed to sleep. But 1 nigh my body got very week and my parents rushed me to the ER. They said it could be drugs or other stuff but it wasnt true. I went to my regular doctor and she ran some blood test. But that day i noticed my ankle and feet were very stiff, but i didnt think about it. 2 days later i got my blood resalts and everything was fine but my white bood count was a little high she said dont worry about it. But the next couple days it got worse and is in my hand and fingers and i am cracking bones all over my body like toes wist neck back and other palces and dont no y. My doc is sending me 2 a nerlougist but it is in a month.
i have been warm all the time specially at night. And i have been getting tiggling in my hands and feet and sarp pains but it doesnt last and my nerves ar twitching more often.
