My wife and I are in the process of building up a small organic truck farm. Along the way I have encountered several health related problems and am looking for reliable non commercial information. Seems like most posts and groups are mainly of a commercial nature, where the people are trying to sell their products under the guise of posing as just regular souls! Which is fine with me, I guess but it would sure be nice to just exchange information without having to listen to sales pitches all the time!

I broke my fibula ankle and went to the ortho today and i got my cast off. The doctor said an xray wasnt neccasry. I couldwalk/limp with a little pain and discomfort after i got home. But now a few hrs later there is a big bruse on the middle of my foot. I noticed it when i was walking and i felt pain in that area so i checked it out and saw the big bruise. The bruise is a definite bump and its red/purple and in the middle of it there's what looks like white puss or some kind of white part. Ive been walking around all day to try to exercise it. But now the bruised part is painful and its scary looking at it

My mom has had severe foot pain for the last year, it get's so debilitating that she can't walk at times. She has been seeing a podiatrist, who referred her to physical therapy, which she has been going to and following through on, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I told her that it may get worse before it get's better. I know that losing weight would help her immensly, but other than that, I'm not really sure. I know what helps me with my feet is when I (or my husband) squeeze my heel pretty hard for about 10 seconds, and then let go and massage the area, and when I stick my fingers in between my toes and spread them apart, and I have told my mom that but she is to afraid to try it, I have been trying to find a website to support my theory, but have had no success. Any suggestions would be appreciated!! Oh yeah, she has heel spurs.

This drug has Acetaminophen, Caffiene, and Butalbital. Acetaminophen is for headache pain, caffiene is to increase the effects of acetaminophen, butalbital is a sedative. This is normally prescribed for tension headaches, but it has been prescribed to me for migraines. I have read a little about treating migraine with fioricet, has anyone used fioricet for migraine and did it help? Can you offer any other information on fioricet?

My Girlfriend is experiencing lower back pain with numbness and tingling starting at the small of her back and spreading down the buttocks to the back of the thighs and sometimes to the calves it happens everyday with some worse than others and there is also a lump on her back where the pain usually radiates from. With two visits to the doctors their only response is to put a hot compress on it and basically walk it off, but the pain has been constant for about 9 months now and they don't seem to find it a big deal. With this hospitals track record of mis diagnosis and overall disregard of their patients concerns i believe they are over looking the fact that this may be sciatica. On a Side note she also fell down the stairs chipping her coccyx for the 2nd time in three years about a year ago. So my question is are there any basis in my fears or do we not worry about it like the doctors say?

Wed morn. I was involved in an accident after a lady ran a red light she T-boned us and the fire dept. had to pry open the door for the paramedics to get me out. I was taken to the ER and had a CT scan of head and x-ray of back done everything was good. They gave me pain pills and Valium. Today I wake up and my right shoulder is stiff as the day goes the pain gets worse now it is horrible my shoulder burns and my hand keeps tingling and going numb even the pills they gave me aren't helping. Hubby says I need to go back out to ER but I am afraid they will say its just stiff and act like I am a sissy or something. I really dont wanna waste insurance money if it is nothing. My question is does anyone have any ideas what this could be and is worth another trip to ER? Thanks in advance for any suggestions
