I was in a car accident four weeks ago and still have back and neck pain. The physical therapy I've had for the last three weeks seems to hurt more than it helps. I am still feeling pain and spasms. Can you suggest another option?

July 19, 2010

Two years ago, I was diagnosed with osteopenia and take a pill once a week to build up the bone, as well as 1500mg of calcium with vitamin D. I also had a heel spur removed from both feet that has plagued me for 25 years. I am concerned about stopping the calcium supplement for the osteopenia, but I am also afraid to continue taking the calcium for fear that it will add to further bone spurs. Any advice?

July 13, 2010

My hands are blue and cold, especially my fingers and thumb. When I run them under hot water, they go back to normal temporarily. The only other symptom I have is a very sore neck from working all day at the computer. Any ideas?

July 08, 2010

What could be causing my right hand to be very swollen for several weeks? I have experienced no pain, no injury, and no bug bites.
