My daughter, 17, recently had a back X-Ray and was found to have 2 extra lumbar vertebrae. Does anyone know if this could cause future back problems or if it's something that should be checked out and dealt with now? On another note we also found out recently she has no wisdom teeth!

I am 6 weeks pregnant. The other morning and I woke up and my left arm was hurting. I figured I had slept on it wrong. Last night the pain got worse and I had to take off my engagment ring because even my hand was swelling slightly. Could I have pulled a muscle in my sleep? What should I do about it? Tylenol barely eases the pain. Hot and cold compresses? Is there any other pain reliver that I can safely take while I'm pregnant that may help?

it's like a sharp stab, then dull., then sharp again. If pressed hard it is unbearable

The cause of Back pain is excessive movement of the spine.

Other than muscle strain, what would cause constant lower back pain? For instance, could a bladder infection be the problem? I don’t seem to have any other symptoms of a bladder infection though. What else could it be do you think? Any help/info is appreciated.

I have a horrible head cold, sneezing, congestion, eye itch and burn, watery and now it's moving to my chest. I've tried Tylenol cold, Tylenol Sinus, Alka Seltzer cold and Sudafed, they don't even put a dent in the pain and pressure. What's going on? Alka Seltzer cold partially works for about 20 min. then BAM! all the pain and pressure is back. I thought this stuff was supposed to help!! Suggestions for pain relief would be greatly appreciated. I am breastfeeding so my options are somewhat limited. I have been supplementing with formula and stored breastmilk while trying to find something that works!!

I broke my ankle a week ago and was told by doctors to keep all my weight off it and keep it elevated. When its not elevated, like when I use crutches, the blood pressure builds and it becomes painful for a while. (There was surgery involved to fix it.) How long will this elevation go on for? Will I ever be able to put my foot down without it hurting? It's been a week, and it's not much better.

I need help....I have been taking Darvocets in large doses...even got prescriptions from different doctors to different pharmacies. I also have been taken whatever else i can get my hands on for pain. Without it I feel tired and achy all the time.
I have a chronic condition which they have no cure for and i am in a lot of pain often. But i am so worried that i am now just taking the darvocet to feel ok and not because i really hurt. Today I went to my doctor trying to get a refill, when they found out that i have been taken way more then I am suppose to. I felt so dirty, like some drug head.
I need help...how can i ween myself off? What do i do when i am in real pain? Please don't make fun of me....help

Ok here it goes, How can I get over the fear of needles poking my veins? Ok I am a really proud young man (18), but for some reason I have been afraid of needles poking my veins. And I need to go to the doctor, but they always take blood away from me. Last time I passed out. I mean I can take a shot on my *** or arm, but when it comes to the veins in my arm (opposite of elbow) I get nervous and freaked out. What should I do? I fear for my veins. I am really white almost see threw that my veins can be seen from far away (which is cool), but I dont want someone poking them atleast not the ones in my arms. When I was younger I did not have this problem.

This is ruenning my life and health. I am such a proud young man.
I am not afraid of anything else. I dont even fear death. I am afraid of no human nor animal nor creature.

I'm 23 and have never in my life so far been able to swallow pills. I've tried several different ways of trying to swallow them but have no luck. The last few times I've been given pills they are the type that can't be crushed/taken with food/or broken apart. I'm paranoid about choking on anything to the point that my tongue is always pressed against the roof of my mouth and I chew for a long time while swallowing around the sides of my tongue. Even when I sleep my tongue stays there. (Got choked a couple of times when I was young pretty bad.) I usually got liquid but now since I'm living with my bf and his parents and they all tell me "I'm an adult and there is no reason for me not to swallow pills." I've got some capsule pills I need to take for an infection in my gums after a root canal and I spent 45 minutes yesterday till the pill fell apart and the roof of my mouth got swollen. I'm probably going to call the dentist to prescribe liquid but I know I will have the problem again.

Do you think smoking around children should be allowed? There's so much evidence that cigarette smoke is poisonous that it seems like it should be illegal to smoke anywhere near children (including in your own home if you have children).

It's been a week, but I get really nervous around doctor's. I'm going to suck it up and go tomorrow, but wondering what is wrong. When I exercise nothing hurts, when I sit down for a long period of time it hurts more. The pain is dull and aching, but not severe. When I wake up in the morning nothing hurts, until I go to school. I always drink alot of soda and about a month ago I stopped completely, and throughout the day only drank one carton of milk and a glass of iced tea, so I could be dehydrated. Any info would be great.

*Hi guys, I'm suppose to get a Septoplasty done in a few weeks. The doctor said they are going to stitch silicone stents in my nose to support my septum. He also said ill be able to breath out of my nose, even with the stents in?

*Has anyone out there had this done, and if so to what degree can you, or cant you breath.

*Plus are there any tricks I should know about to help air clear my nasal passages during this time. Saline sprays, etc.?

*Thanks for your answers and enjoy your holidays.

I was sleeping 3 nights ago and I thought I had to go bathroom but I was soo tired I fall to sleep and when I finally woke up hours later I didn't really feel like I had to go and couldn't go but felt pressure in my lower left abdominal section. Not really holding in pee presure but just tight tenderness. Well it went away the next day i believe and I was happy then I went to sleep and woke up fine. I did a lot of stretching in my bed that night I believe and when I woke up I had tightness and achy pressure in the same left portion of my stomach. I would call it a strain if it wasn't for the frequent peeing and needing to go shortly after drinking water and the nausea that I feel fade and worsen throughout the day. I looked up what conditions it could be but most of the conditions show signs in the pee but mine is clear. I have no blood in my pee. Its not smelly or clouded. When I lay down the feelings seem to subside. I had a muscle spasm just yesterday but still unsure. Thanks
