    Diet & Fitness - 10 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I'm just wondering because i went to the gym today, did back and biceps. and for biceps i did 3 sets of 8 reps standing curls, 3 sets of 8 reps preacher hammer curls, seated curls, 3 sets 8 reps, than i did preacher curls 3 sets 8 reps than finally i did normal hammer curls. also 3 sets of 8 reps. was that over doing it? and can overdoing it fail to gain muscle mass/definition? Okay, yes I was seriously asking. I weigh 132 lbs, I'm 15. I was using, 35's at first and I went as low as 20's for some things. And my calorie intake was pretty good today, I had a protein shake after my workout too.
  • Wisdom tooth erupting and hurting as heck. Is that normal?

    Dental - 16 hours ago

    Additional Details

    One of my lower wisdom teeth, which have started erupting a while ago is suddenly hurting a lot. The gum around that tooth is sore and swollen. I don't think it is impacted because I had a dental x-ray done a couple years ago and was told that all 4 of my wisdom teeth are growing straight so it isn't necessary to remove them. I also had 4 of my normal back teeth pulled out for braces when I was young so the wisdom teeth have got space to grow. I'm not sure what is causing the pain but I've been told that the pain may be normal during the eruption of wisdom teeth. Will the pain go away after a while? What other reasons apart from impacted teeth can cause such pain? I have my finals coming up in less than a week so I won't be able to go to the dentist and end up with sore cheeks unless it's something persistent and serious. Thanks! That really helped. At least I don't have to worry about getting my tooth removed for the time being. As for taking ibuprofen, is there a recommended dose for this infection in particular?

  • Abnormal Pap test results, Anyone have the same experience?

    Women's Health - 19 hours ago

    Additional Details

    My doctor called me yesterday to tell me that my pap test came back, I've had pap tests every 6 months for the past 3 years but didn't make it to my last test in April because I was out of the province, so I went last month. Theres been abnormal cells on all my other tests but now my doctor is sending me to a Gyno because he said that their concerned about the Squamous Cells, I was kinda too nervous to ask questions but he did mention a test that I'm going to have to have he said its like a pap test but with mircoscopes! I have no idea what any of this is, never been to a Gyno, and never heard about half this stuff! Has anyone already been through the same experience? I have no clue when my apt is, just waiting for them to call but it could be a couple months.......I'm 25 years old, with a 3 year old and pretty stressed out right now, I know it doesn't help to stress and my husband tells me not to worry about it but I can't help it, I just need to know stuff! Does anyone know what is gonna go on now? The doctor mentioned a test called a Colopscopy, something about a pap test with a microscope....... My family doctor does alot of the stuff a gyno does, where I live you dont go to a gyno unless referred, My doctor does Pap Tests, delivers babies, and takes care of u while your pregnant right up to delivery.

  • YIKES!! MY PERMANENT REATAINER FELL OUT!?

    Dental - 1 day ago

    Additional Details

    So...my lower permanent retainer fell out tonight when I was flossing! I've only had it for a year, but I noticed my teeth have deposits on them. They have started to calcify, and I brush twice a day and floss the lower retainer once a day, along with the rest of my teeth! When I go back to the orthodontist this week, should I just get a removable one, rather than get this one glued back in? I'm thinking I'd get the Hawley or Essix. Which one is better? Keep in mind I have a Hawley upper, no probs with it, except that I take it out for work since people complain about everything (you say coffee weird....take that thing out of your mouth, it's bugging me!). The Hawley isn't that bad, I just don't know whether or not I should get it on the bottom, cause then I will not be able to speak well AT ALL!! LOLz..
