General Health Care - November 2007

Since yesterday my neck has hurt on the left side.

At certain angles when tilt my head to the right.

In the car when it stops and starts it hurts as well.

Should I get a neckbrace or something? Because otherwise people won't know and I'll just get bashed around in the corridors at school which can't be good for it...

Thanks in advance!

We were both at home in our rooms studying for our midterms (we're fraternal twins in all the same classes) when I heard some wheezy/shallow breathing coming from across the hall. I went into my sister's room to find her clutching her chest and gasping for breath. It seemed as though she could not breathe and calm down. Her eyes were wild, her face pale and sweaty. This kind of episode went on for another five mins. I have never seen something like this before, and I was about to call 911 when she started to calm down. It was really strange and scary! Anyone know what this was?

Got a root canal today, and took 2 Aleve around 11 for the post-procedure pain. Now, the pain is most definitely back, and I think I need something.

How safe is it to take Advil (Ibuprofen) 3 hours after taking Aleve (Naproxen)?

If not that, how about Excedrin Migraine (Aceteminophen)?

Thanks.

To answer the question before yes I have had a ct scan and no turmors were found. I have noticed that the main problems seem to be associated with the left shoulder being so tight that its pulling on my face and neck and my eyes. I have had numerous problems with my sinues and eyes and have had pain in my jaw and all over my face. Originally the effects were worse because of this pill Elavil I was taking. Is it really possible that there is so much tension and pulling on my left side that it is throwing everything else of balance? I have talked to a few people and some think its quite possible because these muscles and tendons are all connected in certain ways

my husband has spinal stenosis, bulging discs and a peripheral nerve that is causing a foot drop. The neurosurgeon feels an operation might not even help. My husband is 72. He has referred us to a neurologist and a physical therapist. He's not in any pain but cant stand up or take a step. The neurologist cant see him for 2 weeks. Anyone know if rest will cure a foot drop. Any other info would be greatly appreciated.

This condition is making me very depressed that I want to take my life. No matter what I do I smell. I do not know what is wrong with me. It is not as easy as just take a shower. I do shower and put on deodorant/antiperspirant afterwards but I still smell bad. 10 minutes out of the shower I smell. I don't know what to do. I have lost all will for life. I have been to the doctor, but nothing they have presrcibed me has worked. I did have surgery to remove my sweat glands, but I still smell bad even with my sweat glands removed. I have tested negative for TMAU and I am stumped on what is wrong with me. I have tried every natural remedy, and natural and commercial antiperspirants/deodorants. I can't go anywhere without people having hysterical coughing fits and sniffling nonstop. It is not in my head. I am really smart and love school, but I barely go to my college classes because of this. The one thing I love the most is taken away from me and I can't live like this anymor

This weekend i was exposed to many cold hours in front of a scout bonfire with lots of smoke inhalation.

Now i just choked on water as i occassionally do and coughed up blood. I doubt it will happen again so i am wondering if i should wait it out since it might only be surface damage from second-hand bonfire smoke or should i call a doc?

PS. the last 3 times i went to the doc were for common ailments that just needed time to heal so i am reluctant to drop everything right now and go.



PSS. If you have no idea - don't bother answering. (If you just need the points - your priorities are whacked - but put a dumb answer in - just don't try too hard.)

well lately sometimes i get these cramps in my foot where the toe beside my big toe stiffens and goes down and won't move for a few seconds and then it goes away. Then Sat night I went out and I wore some tall boots. The ones that come up to your knee. Well they hurt my feet if i walk too much in them. And I was dancing at a club so they were really hurting. At one point through the night I was on stage and jumped about a 2 ft down to the floor and it hurt so bad.

i woke up yesterday and my feet are sore which i know is understandable but my toe next to my big toe on my right foot feels like it is asleep. Kinda tingly . When i walk or touch it feel numb or like a rubberband is tied tight around it.

what does this mean? and why is it still feeling like that 2 days later.

FYI: recently i found out i have fibromyalgia and part of that was muscle spasms and restless leg syndrome.


So.........what do you think is wrong with my toe?

My 6 year old broke his wrist right at his ulna on Friday doing something stupid. I was surprised they put a soft temporary cast on him at the ER. They said that we had to wait 2-3 days before having a cast on. I have to call the Orthopedic surgeon in the morning. What will they do with him? I am 34 and my husband is 34 we both have never had a broken bone. How do I give my son a bath so he does not get it wet? We have been wiping him down before bed, but he needs to get a real bath. Any help would be appreciated. Also he broke his dominant wrist for writing.
