Sometimes when I'm talking to people I just start to stutter. I say the beginning of the word over and over, or just open and close my mouth until I can finally get the word out; and also when I get into one of theses 'fits' I have a VERY hard time coming up with simple words. Examples: Picnic, school, book, tree, quilt, camera...

It couldn't possibly be because I'm nervous. I don't stutter when I talk with people I should be nervous with. I stutter when I talk with my parents, my friends...sometimes even when I talk to my dog I stutter!

I'd say it happens 1-2 times a week, where I can't "find" my words and my mind short-circuits, causing me to stutter.

Why could this be?

When I was younger into my late 30's I needed alot of sleep 8 to 10 hours to feel refreshed for the next day. Now I can get by with only 5 to 4 hours of sleep and feel great!

I dislocated my shoulder before because of basketball. It was right shoulder, and yes I write with right hand.
I had surgery and use this kind of sling/shoulder supporter. It is killing me this few months but I hope I will get better soon.
So, its been 1 and a half months way of recovery (doc said 6 months then it will reheal totally), can I do some light exercises such as slowly raising my shoulder until chest level? cos it is kinda stiff right now.....and can I jog for few miles? I know my shoulder is not yet stable at this poin cos sometimes when I move my right arm little bit, even with sling, the shoulder creates a popping sound. The feel sometimes like sore for second but unhurt.Pls advice....Thanks!

I was in the hospital recently for 5 days, I had just gotten some surgery done on my ribs. On day 5 I woke up from a nap and I couldn't move my left toes no matter how hard I tried. They weren't 'asleep' and didn't feel tingley. This lasted about 20 seconds, but it felt like an hour. It was truley terrifying.

The nurse said she had absolutley no clue and that I should ask my surgeron when I see him on tuesday.

I have been on a lot of drugs recently for pain and I was wondering if this had anything to do with it.

I was just curious as to if this has happened to anyone else.
I appreciate any feedback :)

Final decision sent in, not recieved yet. Dr. tryed to inform best as possible that treatment wasnt finished? Always could reopen claim, L & I just wanted to keep job, now scared something is wrong. Nerve damage, something down the road occurre Dr implied best as possible with out saying outright somethings not right. I rushed to close claim, 2 carpeltunnel & 1 ulnar nerve relocation surgerys. implied serious impairment to one arm other minimal. Final questions like rating pain to making bed, carring grocerys, pulling & lifting. Servere pain in elbow area didnt like it being touched HURT. Afraid to lose job should I listen to people an search out legal advise?

My wisdom tooth is growing in wrong. Ive aleady been to the dentist who is going to refer me to an oral surgeon, but that hasn't happened yet. Probably going to happen on Tuesday. In the mean time. Ive been taking tylenol, advl and aleve for the pain. Its been pretty much working until tonight. I took a 500 mg tylenol about 3 hours ago and 1 hour ago my mouth just started throbbing with pain. The gum surrounding the tooth is swollen and my mouh feels like its about to shut down. Its getting harder and harder to open it. My job calls for me to talk on the phone a lot. What can I do for now?

I have six pack abs but technically it kind of looks like a seven pack. My right side has 3 normal ones. My left side has a little one on the top. It kind of makes my abs look uneven. Anyways, in the past, I would get a cramp in my ab muscle. The seventh pack(the left top one) would cramp up and it would pertrude and stick way out.
It doesn't happen often, but it happened today and I had to turn on my stomach and just stretch it out like crazy. More than the usual cramps that I got in the past.
Anyone know what this could be?
A hernia?
Please help me.

My mom has started taking this medication for neck pain and has had these symptoms. She believes that it is from the nerve problems in her neck and I think that it is the medication. I had severe problems after i had a tumor removed from my spinal cord and I believe that is why she thinks the nerves could be the problem. What do you think? Thanks.

When i touch these areas, the pain feels like electrocuted nerves. Some tension comes out of my thighs, with the feeling of pins and needles. My shoulders are also starting to droop. Is that correctable?

My doctor recently advised I have 'arthur' in my left knee. I fell and when xrayed, it was discovered at that time. Often the knee is painful and swells. I have had other problems with this leg including radiation down the leg of numbness, burning and a feeling of being "dead". It hurts to stand for long periods of time. Doctor also indicated something about a 'nerve' in the back which might be responsible. I have taken Ibuproven, Tylenol, etc and nothing helps the pain. It is painful to walk, impossible to walk up or down steps without the 'one-one; two-two step" process. My principal has offered me the schools elevator key, but I was thinking that would only make me more dependant. I want this to get better, and if I can do it with certain exercises and holistic medicines, I'd prefer. The only REAL relief I ever received was a shot of steroids in the knee. It was heaven - but I only know negative about them. Any ideas? Suggestions? I am going back to the ORTHO doctor asap.

The pain is low down on my left hand side - it has been about a week. It pretty much hurts all the time. I've tried heat, ice, muscle relaxers, Aleve. Nothing seems to be helping. I did not pull it or do anything acute to cause it. Any ideas?

2 days ago I fell in my friends garage onto cement.
I have a big bruise under my right knee about the size of my knee, a bit smaller. I have a second one under that thats smaller, and one on the side of my knee and one under the one on my shin. The two that bug me most are the big one and the one under that. They weren't very dark before but they are kind of turning purple, and have bumps. Will this just go away?

I will post the short version -
My bf's feet sweel on the top and mostly around the ankles. Both feet do this. They have checked him for gout and it is 100% NOT that. The swelling and pain can last any where between 1 day to 3 weeks. Usually they are months apart. He has gone to specialists but the only next step is exploratory surgery - something that may cause him permanent disability and pain rather than only 1-4 times a year. Has anyone had anything similar? Suggestions for pain relief?

Right now it feels better when I massage his calf muscles, but only while I massage them.

I recently started having horrible back pain along with my left leg going numb....i went to a chiropractor and found a bulging disc between my L4-L5 vertebra. After several treatment...and i mean several, my pain kept getting worse. My regular family doctor prescribes me Lortabs to help with the pain, but he's wanting to refer me to a Neurosurgeon or a Pain Managment Clinic. If anyone has been faced with this decision, or even if you have an input please share you're opinion with me...what would you do? If you face this problem how has it changed your life? For the record, the amount of pain I'm in alot of the time can't be described... My work doesn't help either with all the stuff i do (i work for fleetwood homes building houses)
Thanks to all that answer
