I used the cream today and left it on for maybe 5-7 minutes because it takes longer on me. Now my legs are red and burn really bad. Lotion stings and they can't be touched. Wearing pants even hurts. If you know what will help please let me know.

I was just wondering, if I need to regulate my cycle better, if I am allowed to use birth control pills. I know that Catholics believe these types of contraceptions are wrong at all times, even if the issue was heath related. However, the issue of preventing a child from being born is not a problem, as I am unmarried, and do not believe in practicing pre-martial sex. I was just wondering what everyone else's take on this was.

Hi all

It is my first winter in Canada, and I feel already so cold.

Today, I was so sleepy and hard to move because of coldness.

Especially my thigh is unbelievably cold.
It is completely different from ordinary sleepiness or tiredness.
I suppose it is like a hibernation or something...

Do you know any good tips for it?
I think especially Immigrated Canadian must have lots a lot of wisdom how to survive the winter lively.

I already wear so much like a full winter version,
and I take VitaminD a lot.
My home is a bit far from bus stop, so I'll move out 2weeks later.

I hurt my foot jumping out the back of the bus on bus evac day.

I landed wrong on my foot, and it turned purple and so did my pinky toe. The pain has been horrible.

My parents won't take me to the doctor because they say the school only said that to cover their asses.

I know it is not broken because I can bear weight and bend it forward.

I have been icing and heating it and taking anti inflamatorys. .

Anything you think it could be?

It has happened to me a few times now with in the last couple of months! The first time it was like I just sat up real quick and my husband just happened to have been walking in the room, I remember calling his name several times for him to come here and when he finally came over I hugged him told him I loved him and gave him a kiss on the neck, then I just flopped back down on the bed and fell asleep again! Now I don't remember doing all that I only remember telling him to come here and that I loved him, he told me the rest! Then last night I remember waking up feeling like i couldn't breathe and I tried to wake my husband calling his name several times and tapping him on the back, then i just fell back asleep! It kinda almost feels like when this happens that its not really me I'm just there!

Basically for the past two months i have had really bad pain in my heel whenever i walk, at first i thought it could be bone spurs or plantar fasciitis, but symptoms of those state that i have pain in my heel in the morning or after rest.
I dont have this i only get pain in my hells when i walk or run, but the pain is at its worst when i wear any form of shoes even trainers. It hurts when i touch the area (which is my heel, to be direct about an inch from the sole of my foot)
Could anyone help me and tell me what i could possibly have, and what i could do to get rid of this pain.

Lately it feels like there's mucus blocking my throat. Like a bubble of mucus (i know it's gross) and when I swallow it goes away and then comes back. I can drink something and it goes away for a minute or so but then it comes back. What is it and what can I do?

i landed mid-shin on the corner of a ledge i was trying to get up onto. I could hardly walk on it, but i had batting practice and i had to run on it a little before i collapsed. It swelled immediately and has a horrible bruise (it looks like i grew another knee). I still can't walk on the leg without pain shooting through me. is this a severe bone bruise or worse? i do not want to go to the ER for a few more days so I can see if the swelling goes down after a while since I just had to go for x-rays on my foot and knees

Hey everyone! I'll be 22 weeks pregnant this coming Tuesday. Last night i noticed a sharp stabbing pain under my left breast. Almost feels like it's under my rib cage on the left going towards the side. It gets worse when i breathe in deep, laugh, cough, sneeze, etc. Its gotten to the point i try not to cough so it doesn't hurt so much. What could this possibly be. I know its not my heart because your heart lies towards the middle of your chest not on the far left side like my pain is. Should i be worried. My baby won't be affected by this will he? Please help!

suddenly the phone rang and I was startled. I accidentally jabbed it in my ear. Not too far but it kind of hurt a little bit. Then the inside of my ear was all wet, but there wasn't any blood or anything. That was yesterday and I can still hear and all that. My friend told me that it was probably just sweat cause I got scared, and if I really hurt my ear bad, I would already be deaf. And I think he knows 'cause his mom works in the accounting department at a big hospital. But when I was listening to Linkin Park on my I-Pod tonight and when they did that guitar thing that goes like "Vam vam VAM VAMM!!!!" that one ear sort of hurt and is rining a bit. But I can still hear pretty much ok. So first question what was all that wet stuff - was it really sweat? And second question is - is my ear ok? Or do I need a hearing aid?

When you cannot seem to get better are steroid shots of any success or surgery?

I just ran at a national meet, and the night before there was a kinesiologist working on people. He asked if i had been running well, and i told him i hadnt.(ive had a awful year) He said he saw reason i wasnt. He said my feet were collapsed. Probably causing my knee pain and bad running. He recommended inserts from him. I cant find anything about these so can anyone give me any truth to this and anyone else have this problem or had the inserts.

Ok, this is probably irrelavent, but on Wednesday night my right side hurt a little and I felt a little sick to my stomach.

Ok, last night my lower stomach, in the middle, started hurting bad. I went to the bathroom for 20 minutes and was suck between diahreah and constipation back and forth. And my diahreah was very liquidy - and I'M DEHYDRATED. My stomach started feeling better when I came out. So this morning, I ate a yougurt and 6 crackers and now my lower stomach is beginning to hurt bad again. And I feel like vomiting right now, but I have NOT... yet.

What in the worldl is wrong with me? Should I go to the doctor if I get any worse?

Does anyone have any idea what the ball park cost is for endoscopy surgery.
I'm having surgery on a Thursday my Doctor said I should take a week off work, but due to financial reasons I don't think I could do that. Plus my job is not really all that hard, I do alot of standing and walking for 10 hours but no heavy lifting whatsoever. I was thinking that maybe that following Monday I could be ok to go back to work what do you guys or gals think? any input will be appreciated.
