We brought in a pregnant stray that recently had kittens. She has become very territorial with babys around our other animals and often tries to start fights with our small dog. Earlier today when I was trying to stop a fight I got bit, it's a very small puncture wound about the size of pencil lead, didn't even bleed really... I would be embarressed to be concerned about this though I read 80% of cat bites become infected. My hand is also very sore when I try to make a fist and the wound site is very tender and a little swollen it seems.

Any vets/docs around here that could give me some advice?

Has anyone ever had back problems? How did you injure it? Will it ever get better? After surgery or anything else they can do to help? I fell off a 30ft tower during basic training in the Army. That was in 82. Every so often I put my back out I have to actually crawl to the tub and draw a hot bath so I can stand. And of course the Army says it's fine they don't see any problems. As I get older I hate to think what I'll be like in my retirement years?

would those elasticated knee tube things help by supporting the joint and keeping it warm or would they actually be a problem by restricting circulation and reducing the amount of exercise the muscles get?

Are there any physical issues? aside from discomfort? that can have lasting effects? I did hear about one solder that came back from iraq with a ruined bladder because she had to hold her urine for sometimes 18 hours at a time. Not she's partially incontinent. Can this really happen?

I take 80 mg oxycodone every 4 hours and I notice i get the chills all day. I am always hot/flush and seating but i am cold to the bone. I think this is very weird. The sweat will be pouring off my face, but i will be bundled up in a sweater or a blanket because i am so cold. Is this because pain killer dehydrate you. Will drinking more water help me?

I took a flight from Tampa, FL to Pheonix yesterday and then from there to San Diego. Last night I had charlie horses in both legs at once while I was asleep. I haven't had one in a long long time. Could it be from sitting on the plane so long?

My dad has been in overseas for tha past 2 years.When he made his 2 week visit 6 months ago, for the first time he used his Aetna insurance.He went to the IC Laser Eye Care at Bensalem to simply get an eye examination.The doctor gave him a prescription to get glasses but he never did that because he had to leave the U.S. So just today we get a phone call from their office saying that we owe $400. I called the office, but they said to call the insurance company. I then did that and I asked them what this payment was about, they named 3 things one for "office consultation" $200, one for "visualization" $100, and he said something that starts with the letters "gonoes__"(sorry dont know the rest)I have absolutely no idea what theyre talking about. By the way, they then told me to call back the doctors office and that he's "responsible" to pay for this. Please tell me what I should do to get out of this mess because my dad did nothing more than to get his eye examined which only cost $20...
