General Health Care - August 2007

I was prescribed it this weekend from my doctor and it's like 5/500mg. When I took it Saturday night It didn't help the pain as much as I would have liked it too, so I took another one 4 hours later. Is that too much to take?

This morning, I hit my right hand (the back side, not palm) fairly hard on the corner of a marble area in the foyer at my work. The pain was very bad when I first hit it, and now each second it is getting worse. It feels like I may have hit a nerve or something, and it's starting to creep down my right arm. I am able to move my hand, fingers and arm (obviously, I'm typing), but like I said, it feels like sharp pains. Any thoughts on what this could be and should I get it checked out? Is this just temporary pain that can be solved with tylenol or something? I use a computer for work, so any advice would be helpful. I can't find anything on-line that doesn't sound like a foreign language to me. Thanks!

I always have a little bad breath so I got this bottle of green Listerine today. After I brushed my teeth just now, I rinsed my mouth following the direction shown on the bottle, i.e. 20ml for 30 seconds... the liquid gave a super burning sensation and my tongue HURT LIKE HELL... I ate a candy and I tasted less flavor... Then I searched for similar situations on Y!A... a Best Answer says "the burn you feel can actually be damaging/burning the sensitive tissue in your mouth" (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=1006041611157 )... is this true? If so, what do I do?

Please help, thanks!

I have been waking up in the morning with horrid lower back spasms. So bad that I cant get up, hardly walk, bend over...anything really. I have a 5 month old so this has been a problem. I do have DDD so I know some of the pain is coming from there....but this has been going on for weeks. It gets better if I take vicodin, soma and some ibuprofen. My doctors have not been too helpful....say its probabably the "normal" pain from carrying around a baby but I know its not. The pain is unbearable in the AM. It gets better, like I said, but never goes away. Could I have a disk problem? I dont know what to do. Everytime I have seen the docs they just give me more pain meds....and now when I call I think they think that is all I am looking for.

I tried weaning myself but my psychological dependence on the drug gets in my way. Do you have any advice or tips that might lessen the withdrawal or just make it a little easier? I'm taking 2 50mg pills twice a day, how long until the worst part of the withdrawal is over ad how long until i should feel normal again?

I have rolled my ankle (right ankle) twice this summer; the first time in May, I snapped a ligament (possibly two), and last night, while coming down for a rebound playing basketball, I rolled it again. It's awfully swollen, so I will be taking the proper time to heal it and rehab it. However, not one to rest on my laurels for too long, I want to know where I can find an ankle brace to use for support when I play basketball/football/hockey/golf/go to the gym/etc.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I read that a tbl of olive oil will help relieve constipation but as soon as it went down it came back up along with everything. I need some natural ideas for this problem. I have increased my water intake. I am drinking 3-4 bottles a day plus my fiber tablets and nothing..just water but due to my migrine tablets I cannot seem to fix this problem it's been a real issue for the past month.

Hi,

I badly sprained my ankle about a year ago playing football. Its still a lot more swollen than the other ankle and aches occassionally (particularly after exercise).

Am looking to get back into football this winter, but am worried about aggravating it, any advice?....has anyone else experienced the same thing?

Also, anyone know of any astro footie boots with good ankle support to minimise the chance of this happening again?

Okay well first off, I attended two weeks of softball camp. Then I took a week off to be a counselor at a girl scout camp. Then, last week I started training again because I decided to go out for a travel team in my area. (Just for the record it was only ONE week that I took off). Monday, Wednesday, & Friday I go to the batting cages. Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday I throw. I've also been running distance and/or sprints everyday. But the problem is the pain in my throwing arm. First it was my shoulder, then came the pain in my wrist (due to a grounder poping up with a terrible spin of which I had to fend off with my hand so it didnt' hit my face), and finally came the intense pain in the area around my elbow. I've been icing (with frozen beans) and heating (with a heating pad) my shoulder, elbow, and wrist. The pain in my shoulder and wrist has gone away however the pain in my wrist (though getting duller) is still there. It feels like my arm is stretching w/o me. What can I do?

I have not had sexual intercourse for some time (about 36 hours). My left bollock is throbbing like it has a headache. I very much want to emit it's contents & i feel this desire is causing me pain.

I can't go to the doctor with this problem as he will laugh at me. Maybe a woman porfessional would be better suited to hear my pain. Has anyone else ever got this pain?

How do you make it stop..?
