General Health Care - November 2007

Since two or three years, I have this problem: in the evening, when I feel tired I go to bed. But when I'm in the bed, I'm not sleepy any more: my head turn more and more clear, more and more active, so it takes me at least one hour to fall asleep, sometime more than two hours. And then in the morning it's difficult for me to awake and to get up.

What can I do except taking sleeping tablet, please?

How come no matter how I try ( not exaggerating here)
I always resort to staying up almost all night just staring at the wall thinking...if I'm not exhausted from the day before?
(I do yoga, meditation, don't drink coffee or sodas)
I am a very relaxed and happy person, what gives?

Yup, it seems every night it will take me over 2 hours to get to sleep.
And once I do, the slightest noise wakes me.
Then in the morning, I am so tired.
Is there anyway to help you sleep

I was rear ended by someone at high speed on the freeway a week ago. I was pushed so hard that my car rolled over. I was wearing my seat belt and was lucky to be able to walk away.

My car is totaled and my insurance payoff maybe less then what is owed. Finance company is saying I have to pay the difference.

Police report hasen't been completed yet so am anxious on the findings.

Doctors did look at me, told me i may have some pain in the next few weeks. Instructed to come back to see them if so. My back is starting to ache almost everyday since, been chewing down vicodin, cant sleep and am getting depressed.

Will the insurance company fight for me or do i need an attorney? I cant afford to pay the difference if im upside down on my car. What about my back? I need advice bad.

i'm pretty sure that i pulled a lower back muscle on the right side tonight when i was cheering. (I'm a cheerleader) it first started hurting when we were warming up our stunts and then later on during the game when i did a toe-touch i think i really pulled it.
Anyone know any fast treatments? I mean being a cheerleader, we dont have second string so it matters if i cant do stuff. I also have a manditory tumble class tomorrow. What should i do!?

My husband was lifting weights at the gym tonight. While he was lifting, he heard a pop in his lower back. Since then it has been very painful. He walks with his back hunched over (it hurts for him to straighten it out) and he limps. I think he should go to the ER, but he claims it would be pointless because they wouldn't do anything. Am I overreacting or should he get seen by a doctor tonight?

It's not a kidney stone or an ovarian cyst (we've done tests to rule them out). It hurts worst when moving and/or bending.The pain is a sharp, burning sensation. It really hurts, and I need some suggestions please.

Hurts more with physical movement or pressing against the abdomen...about two inches directly above the belly button. 28 yr old male relatively healthy. drink about once a week or a couple of times a month. drink somewhat heavily when i do drink but dont drink often. not a sharp pain, more of a dull pain, intermittent, but pretty constant. doesnt seem to be related to eating, but did intensify a bit after a night of eating and drinking. not burning and not really relieved by antacids.

I'm v active (play soccer / run a lot), but lately (when at rest) I've been getting an intermittent "warm" sensation in my R foot. No pain, it just comes and goes. Feels like it's being dipped into warm water. Weird sensation. Ideas? It comes and goes, but as I said no pain. I have no history of physical ailments in my legs and I'm v healthy/active person. Anyone (medical expert, preferrably) have any ideas as to what it may be?

Im just wondering what oxycodone does if you dont have it as a perscription. Why do people take it or buy it off the streets, how does it make you feel. I know ppl get addicted to it. Does it give you a high like weed or what does it exactly do?

ok... my left knee was injured back in June while i was playing beach volleyball, i've had 2 MRI(both showed only the injury to the MCL) and have been in Therapy for the last 4 months, I have also had 2 cortizone injections(which only give me relief for about 2 maybe 3 weeks), I go back to the Orthopedist on the 18th... my question is... Is 5 1/2 months too long for a "minor" tear of the MCL to take to heal? and if the MRI is showing no damage to my meniscus then why am i having such sharp pain when ever i twist my knee(even the slightest bit) and when i bend my knee past 90 degrees with weight bearing and 135 without? the pain that i am experiencing seems to be deep with in the joint along the medial aspect...and ranges from a 3-6 in severity... also my knee still cracks and pops when climbing stairs(although there is virtualyl no pain)...

any suggustions that any one can give me to help would be great...i know that i have posted similar questions in the past
thanks agian...
