I'm considering hearing aids and I was wondering what the whole experience is like. Tell me everything from the test to actually wearing them and hearing with them. How did people react when you first got them? How do you talk on the phone? Thanks!

sometimes when i'm just sitting there or i'm doing some weird move my knee seems to pop out of place and it's very painful and then if i straighten it like 2 seconds after it happens it goes back in place but it's very painful to bend it or straighten it all the way after i do this. but i can definitely feel it popping out of place or something happening in there and it's happens usually 1 to 2 times a year it just depends how careful i am with how i position my leg. it usually takes 2 weeks to fully feel better but it's hard to function. i'm just wondering what actually is happening in there whether it's any major ligaments or my patella or what should i do about this? thanks.

My neighbor put 3 rows of 18ply twine (1/16 diameter) around his trees. They are at 1 foot, 4 foot and 5 1/2 foot and are in the woods to keep the deer away. My concern is that a person running through the area or a snowmobiler or skier, could seriously injure themselves. Am I worrying for nothing?

I don´t know what caused it originally and don´t know what I could be doing to aggravate it or what counts as ¨rest.¨ The only thing I do is walk - average of about a mile a day - because I don´t have a car. But I´m going crazy not getting more exercise. I´ve heard conflicting advice about stretching and what to do or not to do in general. Should I do yoga? Stop walking? Specific stretches? Haven´t had much luck with physial therapy either. Can anyone give me advice?

I have a open wound where they removed a vein in my left leg below the knee. it is about 1/4 in long. It constantly leaks. I change dressing pads at least 3-4 times a day. It has been nine weeks. The doctor says it is slow healing because Iam a diabetic. My blood sugar is under control no problems. I tried wrapping my leg from mid thigh to toe and elevating my leg it is all the same result. It is healing but very very slowly. Any suggestions?

Whenever I have to sit for an extended period of time not doing anything I get so tired and I struggle to keep my eyes open. This is especially embarassing when I'm in a meeting, mind you. I have a reasonable diet, I'm moderately active and for obvious reasons I have to get up and walk around every 20 minutes when I'm at work. I don't think I have narcolepsy....and I definitely don't fall asleep behind the wheel. I average 6-7 hours of sleep. Could I be deprived of certain nurtients or should I just get to bed sooner?

My mother, who for years has enjoyed a daily banana each morning ,is now worried that her new potassium sparing diuretic has a recommendation not to eat bananas,raisins,prunes. Would a single banana be harmful on a daily basis? She finds its 'helpful' for her daily bowel routine.

I've met a wonderful man whom I will be married to next Feb. 14th. He's told me that he gets headaches and normally wakes up with them but that they can also come later on too. Sometimes they are beyond what Ibuprofen can do. Come to find out, countless thousands have been spent testing and doing things to no avail. This has been since 5th grade he says and he is 38 now. They are always right in the middle of the forehead above the nose. Anyone have any thoughts? this really bothers and scares me.

I have a dr appointment at 2:30...I am just curious as to what this might be. It does not hurt. Just when I swallow I can feel it. The lump looks like a zit full of puss. Yesturday I noticed it but it wasnt that big.. so I came home and brushed my teeth and garelled with listereen. I got in the shower this morning and noticed it was bigger then yesturday so I made a dr appointment. Could this be a cold sore?

I'm looking to quite but I really don't want to get a patch, or some gum and cold turkey just isn't catching on. I need something that both me and my fiance can use to help out. These look promising, they are not that expensive and I was wondering if anyone had an input or opinions or even used the product. Your help is greatly appreciated!
