I've been taking 2 hydrocodones per day for the last two days for dental pain, and will take my last one tomorrow morning (if I'm still in pain) and would like to go out for drinks w/ friends later in the evening. I'm afraid of mixing the two, so is that a safe amount of time between taking the pill and drinking?

Okay, so I was cleaning my ears yesterday and there was kind of a lot of wax because I accidentally went too long without cleaning them. Anyway once I got the ear wax out it was still a teeny bit clogged-feeling, so I put this stuff called Auro Dri in my ear to get any of the water out (I clean my ears with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water), but now the Auro Dri is clogging my ear. How ironic. Anyway it burned a little because I'm pretty sure it's just isopropyl alcohol, and the reason it's not draining is because my ear is a little swollen. What can I do to make it come out faster? (PS, this has happened before, but I can't remember how I fixed it. Also, there's not that much stuff in it because I can still hear out of it pretty well.)

I've been having hip/femur pain that has gradually gotton worse over a period of about 4 months.

The pain is coming from the bone and I only get it in my left leg. It is worse at night and while im resting. The muscles around the area have also recently become sore and my knee bopne hurts sometimes too. I always feel tired and I walk with a limp. The pain is throbbing and it comes from my femur/ sometimes buttox/ hip joint and knee.
The hip joint feels tender and like it is bruised when I touch it/ but there is no bruise. Because my musce is sore its hurting to walk and exercise. I dont even know why the muscles sore. the painis constant

I often feel fatigued. I havnt weighed my self in a while so I dont know how much I weigh.

If its any help/ I can pop out my RIGHT hip ( but that is not the sore leg)

Does anyone know what this could be?

im teenager. dont suggest growing pains as I have had my period for 4 years and had my growth spurt years ago and havnt grown since.

Earlier I asked what are medicines coated with to make them easier to swallow: the lone answer was sugar. So, going back to my own resources, I found that pills are not sugar coated. I also found that they are enteric coated. I looked up enteric coated and found that means they are coated so that the pill digests in the intestines not the stomach, and the reason for that is to allow the medicine to be absorbed better into the bloodstream without being broken down by stomach acids (which can lead to heartburn, for example) and sugar is definitely broken down in the stomach. I found nothing to suggest easier swallowing, although an enteric coated aspirin (for example) is easier to swallow than a non-coated aspirin, and nothing on what this stuff actually is. Do you know?

I thump really hard on my sternum with my fist to disrupt the spasm. Sometimes I have to do it more than once to work. I'm beginning to wonder though if doing this long term could cause any damage, and if I should stop? I should also mention I calm anxiety down by holding my breath until my limbs feel tight and I see spots.

For over a week now I have had a horrible fever. At first I thought it would go away with bed rest and liquids and some thermaflu but it didn't. Now It seems to be hit me more in the afternoon (anytime after 3pm) until whenever I wake up. Yesterday it was at 103 degrees. I'll go from really warm fever when i'm sitting or laying to freezing and shaking when I get up for awhile. Its really annoying. I also have a cough but it feels like no flem most of the time and it won't go away either. Any ideas????

Hi,

A few weeks ago I had an injury while playing soccer. I'm male, 37 and have never had any knee problems before. About the injury: I was stepping to kick the ball and my foot was planted and leg bent and I fell with a "twisting motion" where it felt like my femur and shin bone twisted different directions. Immediately, I realized I could not get up and the pain was VERY strong. I had friends of mine take me home. So, for the next week or so I did RICE, rest, icing, compressing and elevating my knee. Now, about 4 weeks later, I can walk on my leg, but here is what I am experiencing:

First, I cannot bend my knee more than 90 degrees (a right angle). Second, when I walk, my injured leg does not straighten out all the way and I have a painless limp. Third, I feel pain along the anterior (inner) joint line. Finally, I cannot ride a stationary bike because it is too painful to flex my knee to that point.

Anyone have this injury before? What did you do? How long can I put off surgery?

I had all the blood work done precribed when you go to your first prenatal appt and my doc called today and said my platelet count was low (57). Now, I have to see a hematologist and maternal specialist. This wasnt bought up in my previous pregnancies and to my knowledge hasnt been a concern while I wasnt pregnant, even though I usually only get blood work done while Im pregnant. But has this happened to anyone or anyone know somebody that this has happened to? Im so scared, I dont know what could be wrong.

It doesn't hurt while playing just afterwards. When I'm sitting down I have a sudden urge to stretch it out.
