or arthritis like me, you may want to try the SALONPAS pain relieving patch. Works great! Relatively inexpensive. Comes in different sizes. Right before it rains, I often get horrible arthritis related lower back pain problems. I put on the patch and I am able to type almost pain free. If you can not find it in your local pharmacy, your may want to look it up online. Made by Hisamitsu Parmaceutical Co. Best patch/pain reliever I have tried.

My daughter is 35 years old and has been having pain in left lower abdomen for quite some time . . .
She had a CT with oral and IV contrast and it was normal, but showed she had an enlarged uterus. Dr. called the next day and said she needs to go for ultrasound.
There is lots of cancer in the family, so my daughter is very concerned. Can any of you who have experienced this help out here. Thanks.
Please not the lower back...
Hip or shoulder yes, lower back...please NO!!! So trashy...MHO, of course...good day!
Back Pain
I've had back pain radiating all the way down my leg to my foot for about three months now. I have no insurance, but I'm going to a physiatrist next week to get maybe exercises or something that will help. In the meantime, this web site has a really interesting article on desk chairs and back pain, and I'm sure this is what it's all about. Hope it helps you - It sure explained some things to me!

back pain
I had this problem so bad 3 yrs. ago that I saw a chiropractor. Actually had to have help putting my socks and shoes on. Chir. told me that my pelvis had shifted from sitting for so many years, too long at one stretch, etc. Of course, he recommended long-term tx, then maintenance adjustments. I went until the acute phase was better, then had to quit because of time and money. He did suggest using ice 20min.on/20min.off. That did help. Also, if you can do some stretching exercises a couple times a day, even for just a couple of minutes by your desk will help. I still have problems, but not nearly as severe. Good luck!
Pain down back of right calf when working (sm)
Does anyone else get this? I never had it in the past, never had an carpal tunnel issues, but for a month or so, only when working, I get a pain right down the middle of the back of my calf in just a short strip, about an inch or two under the back of my knee spreading down a few inches, and if I get up and move around it goes away temporarily. Anyone ever had that or know what it is?
Anyone else get low back pain from sitting at the computer all day. Any
suggestions to help this.
Chronic back pain, AKA, just keep me in drugs so I can be ..
in a stupor and maybe get disability or at least a handicapped sticker for my car.
I was diagnosed with fibro but the rib pain, front and back
started 2 years ago when I got back from vacation and has been there off and on since. Sometimes horrible pain, sometimes just there but never completely gone. I went for 1 acupuncture but it is $70.00 out of pocket for each treatment, insurance does not pay so instead I am doing the 70% chocolate, 2 pieces a day because read that might help because of the antioxidants and flavinoids. As long as I am not touched anywhere around the ribs do pretty good. Have tried the chocolate for a week now, cancelling doctor appointment this Tuesday and will see if that holds the pain. The chocolate lot less costly than the treatments. I have found absolutely no assistance with any physician I have gone to, none including pain specialists, rheumatologists, ortho, etc. I sometimes have extreme fatigue, can lie down for a while and it seems to go away. I have hurt all over with the fibro but now my pain issues are the ribs (oh, forgot about the feet but too long story on that). Did your physician give you anything for the costo? I do not take anything for the fibro nor the costo. I had to dust my fatcat today and I thought she weighed a lot, she is only 20 but still had to pick her behind up and put her in the bathtub.
I am sorry you had to suffer through that, but SM
thank God the end result was worth it. My Uncle lost two wives, both to lung cancer and both heavy smokers. When my aunt died many years ago my uncle, who was a moderate to heavy smoker told my dad after listening to her at night in the bathroom retching for hours with the treatment for the lung cancer, that did it. He told my dad he would never pick another cigarette up, and to this day he has not. My aunt was always so fun loving and my cousins, her three sons, used to have more fun bringing their friends home and playing cards and laughing with my aunt and uncle than going out! My aunt always laughed at that. She was so proud!
Some time later my uncle married the second wife. We buried her three years ago this Thanksgiving. Thanks for your post. Wonderful for you!
From one allergy suffer to another...
My first allergist basically told me I was allergic to nearly everything, including my 4 cats, who I refused to get rid of. Another allergist looked at my results and gave me a different type of allergy test. It showed very severe allergies mostly to dust mites and a very, very small reaction to cats, but because my reaction was so strong to the dust mites it prevented the prick for cats being read correctly. I would try bathing the dog more often and using those wipes suggested by another poster. Using HEPA filters around the house (and especially in her bedroom) can really help with many allergens. You may want to try really aggressively altering the environment since you sound like you want to keep your dog. Good luck to you! :-)
pain and not wanting pain is understandable cuz of medical reason
I mean come on, when he has pain somewhere, does he not want to do something? Seriously, is this a true medical pain problem? If it is, then anyone could understand.
I suffer from severe hot flashes that have been going on now for s/m
several years. I know hormone replacement therapy is very dangerous. I am about crazy with them as they have come back stronger than ever, every several minutes. This is life altering and I am not sleeping because of constant waking up all night long. I tried black cohosh some years ago at the suggestion of my gynecologist which in the beginning worked like a charm. Then I noticed it actually made them worse and more frequent, timing them to every 15 minues. Can someone please help with some suggestions that would actually help get back to somewhat of a normal life and sleeping pattern.  Thanks in advance!
These kids will suffer tremendously sm
They are innocent children thrown into a horrible situation, why punish them and judge them? The poor things are still in an incubator on tubes, etc. Can you imagine even trying to "hold" 8 babies in one feeding, never mind one day. Of course the mom is wrong to have done this, and what was she thinking??? I would not harm one hair on these babies' heads. If they were a brood of puppies, they would be getting dog food donated from all over, so why not give something to these poor children? As for the Mom, she cannot be in her right mind. If you've ever been "without" as a child, you know what I'm talking about, it's a tough, hard road. I say give to the children if you can, something in the way of clothing, food, etc., just to get them through tough times. As for the mother, she doesn't deserve to be pampered, given money, etc., for anything that will promote her own selfish cause. Someone in the courts should be sure any monies or anything that can be exchanged for money should be strictly dealt with and harshly dealt with if she tries to spend one cent on herself. I say, "save the children" not the mother. I feel so bad for these babies I could cry. They need our help. I don't know what I'm going to do. I just wish I could take one in and give it a home, but I'm too old, they wouldn't let me. Or I would do it - today!! As for the older six, those poor kids don't have a chance, why punish them? It will be a zoo around there and they'll suffer greatly.
How log does your friend suffer from diabetes?
Diabetes is a devastating illness that destroys over time all organs in the body. Taking medicaments and later insulin injections can only slow down the destruction of the organs.
If I were you I would not blame the doctors.
Your neighbors should suffer some sort of consequences... SM
for how they've treated their dog!!!! And let me tell you, it's not just rednecks or trashy people. My ex-in-laws, a very wealthy couple who were known throughout their church and community as giving and loving people would go out of town and leave their dog chained up in the backyard for weeks at a time. They'd just leave a whole bag of dog food for the poor animal and lots of water. They wouldn't even ask anyone to come over and check on the poor thing! We lived in another state at the time and I continually threatened to call animal control on them but my now ex-husband would beg me not to get his dad in trouble and would always call one of their neighbors to check up on the dog.
After one of their trips, the dog disappeared never to be seen again. She was a beautiful white shepherd. They had the audacity to call me and my ex up and cry on the phone about how awful it was and expected me to sympathize with them! I just simply said, that dog probably got herself loose and ran for her life. I hope she's found a new home with better owners!
Then they went and got another german shepherd and didn't take care of her. We moved in next door to them (never be your in-laws' neighbor, it's just like on Everybody Loves Raymond!) and I ended up taking care of this poor dog because once again they were never home. Then the dog was sick and in pain and could hardly move around and I told them repeatedly she needed to go to the vet. Did they ever take her? NO! I had to scrape together the money and take that poor dog to the vet to find out she was anemic and had bone cancer. It was suggested that because she was in so much pain she should be euthanized. My ex-husband didn't think we should make that decision cause she wasn't ours. So when we told my in-laws, they broke down crying and said they didn't believe in euthanization and could bare to part with their beloved Ruthie! WHAT!!?!?!?
So they let the dog suffer until I called the humane society on them. So you see there are just people in this world that don't deserve to have the unconditional love a pet. Those people deserve to be chained up in their backyards for a few days with warm, nasty, days old water and dog food. See how they like it!!!
I'm glad your situation was resolved, but I would keep an eye on your neighbors though.
Anyway, I'm an animal lover too and I just can't stand to see an animal suffer. I would have cried right along with you.
Sorry...should be paint store not pain (maybe pain...hehe)

Good idea - I hate that children suffer (sm)
Because of their parents' behavior. If I just give them food at least I know the kids can eat!
I don't know about that - guys like that usually suffer in prison - even most criminals hate chil
He would probably get what he deserves better in prison - from the other prisoners, as long as they don't let him out!!
Where in lower NY?
I'm in Upstate NY and it's in the mid-70's here. I think this morning the low was in the high 50's. Brrr to you.
That is way down in lower manhattan
If you are going to South St. Seaport and are staying in Midtown, you might want to plan other things in that area while you are there. If you like Latin food, there is a restaurant called Cabana at South Street Seaport. Reasonable for lunch but expensive for dinner. It is on second floor and overlooks harbor. Also the downtown alliance has a free shuttle that takes you around lower manhattan. you get on and off at various points. http://www.downtownny.com/gettingaround/?sid=19
That way you can do Staten Island Ferry, ground zero, Brooklyn bridge, etc., and not get lost walking around in lower manhattan. It is not laid out like a grid down there and gets very confusing.
My daughter plans on going to college in NYC so we go often. Have a great time. Don't be afraid of the subway. It is a great experience. Going back to NYC in August. Cannot wait.
me too (lower NY state)
had to go out for son's teacher conference
I have one on the right side of my lower
abdomen, only see it in swimsuit. Really wanted one on the back of my shoulder, but decided not to get one that would show when I was "dressed up." My ex told me I could NEVER have one, so when we divorced that is the first thing I did!!!!
Lower it - 21 is too high
1. Three years is not a huge difference.
2. Most kids are drinking earlier than 21 anyway and nobody is enforcing the law when they get caught drinking under age.
3. It was 18 when I was 18 and there was not a high incidence of drunk driving or whatever reason they have for a drinking age.
4. Germany there is no drinking age and they do not have a high rate of drunk drivers (they have one of the lowest rates of any country).
5. If they are not going to lower the drinking age they should then raise the age of joining the military. Someone tell me that it makes sense that they can't drink til their 21, but at 18 years old in the military they are given guns and can use them.
Some kids will be responsible and some kids won't. I know a lot of people who are in their 20s and 30s and older who are very irresponsible when it comes to drinking - btw, I am 48 years old, not 18, 19, or 20 (and just want the age lowered) :-)
Your lower teeth
in the front ... have your gums eroded in back of the teeth as well? Mine look fairly normal in front of the teeth, but behind them (especially bottom front teeth), I can see the gums are quite receded. I have one of those little dental mirrors. I am wondering why they would be worse in the back, as I think I brush the same way there.
If the houses around you are crap, your value will also be lower than it should be.

try to negotiate for a lower APR before going to CCC & use the word "hardship"
Search Google for credit info center they have great advice there.
Try to negotiate for a lower APR yourself first.
First call and threaten to cancel, (but do not cancel if they don't help!) and that might get you a lower APR.
If that fails write or call back,you have to say the word "hardship" to them to really work with you if you are not 60 days past due...that is the magic word. Their hardship plan and CCCS looks the same on your credit report, at least you control it by doing it yourself.

Negotiate lower interest rates on your credit cards
It’s worth a shot, and some credit card companies might do it if you’ve been a faithful customer or you threaten to balance transfer to another card.Buy a texting plan for your cell phone. Texting has become unbelievably popular. I have no idea why, because it seems like a pain in the butt, but it’s typically 15 cents for every message you send and receive. This adds up, so better off paying $5 to $10 a month for the add-on plan if you’re addicted to texting.
Southern here, cracklins sold in lower income stores usually
I have been at roadside stands and never smelled them cooking nor saw them but mostly you see in stores like food depot. I know of no one who uses them. I am sure that various parts of the country have other foods that could turn a person's stomach. I remember a supposed pepperoni pizza I had 1 time in Buffalo and the tomatoes on it were whole like uncooked. Yuck for that. Everyone has a yuck I am sure.
Then they can get right back on their tires and rafts and float on back to Cuba! nm

Back-to-back black swans that look like (sm)
