So for the past year or so I get pressure in my sternum and I pop it to relive the pressure. I have not been in any accidents or anything like that. Today I popped it and ever since the pain wont go away and hurts into my back and hurts to move my neck around and I can not take a deep breath without pain. Did I do something bad? Should I go into the ER? Or will this go away on its own? I have taken OTC Anti- Infamitorys (sp?) and something stronger (prescription from another medical condition) and I can not get relief! Its been almost 2 hours...

I am having problems with stiffness and mobility and just curious if anyone out there could give me some ideas? It happens in my lower back when I stand and do dishes or fold laundry but the worst is when I wake up in the morning. It is mainly my lower back but it also happens in my hips and knees. They are so stiff and I have limited mobility. I can not even get myself to "clean up" when I am done with my quick morning bathroom use. I just can't get my back and legs to bend/twist...I am only 26 years old...what could be causing this!?

Ok, so here is my situation. (FYI: I am in Wisconsin...if that matters?) Last winter we had a letter delivered from a lawyers office informing us of the Foreclosure...After talking to our landlord we were assured they were in the process of refinancing and getting it all taken care of, they told us not to worry it was all getting taken care of.

Well last week Thursday I got a knock on the door from some guy saying he was interested in putting a bid in on the house, I was in shock! I had no idea! So after some net searching and bank calling it was confirmed the house is up for a Sheriffs Auction on the 26th...TOMORROW! Well as soon as we found out (last week) we called the landlords and they told us this story of how their daughter was not making our rent payments so it got messed up, but again assured us they were taking care of it and not to worry. (Mind you the court info says they owe $88,000 something)

Well we called the bank again this morning and they said that our landlords lawyer has been in contact but as of this morning everything for the auction is still set and that she would call us end of day to let us know if the auction is still on or if it has been rescheduled. I started doing some packing over the weekend despite how busy we were this weekend and now I do not know my rights as a tenant if I can withhold my rent for November to use and find someplace else to go...that is if the auction gets postponed...I am just so lost and confused as to what to do and what to believe...

If anyone can give me some advice...or anything...please please help!

I want to know how I can fix the Canvas/Fabric on my hide-a-bed. It ripped away from the metal frame. Is there an easy home fix or do I need a whole new canvas? If so where in the world do I find a replacement canvas?? Please help! Thanks!

Hi, I little about me. We are a family of 3, My husband and I have one son who is 4. We recently lost a baby last month. We are struggling so badly right now and have never had to look for programs like this. We have qualified for Energy Assistance, but only our current bills worth...and it wont post until I am even further behind. We are late on our rent this month with all the extra Gas and time missed from going to the Hospital and Dr's appointments so much for me. My husband makes $9.50 an hour but they wont let him go over 37 hours a week and he gets paid Bi-Weekly which would be fine, but $600 checks when our rent is $650 is hard, we just can't make it. And as if the timing could not be worse all 3 of our animals need to go to the Vet. So here are my questions...

How do I find help with my Rent and my new Water Bill due in 2 days at a $146 and help with my rent...pretty much any kind of assistance...We already get food stamps and we are on the state insurance, but we need help paying our bills and housing. I hate doing this and am slightly embarrassed...I know a lot of people are in this situation...I just feel at the end of my ropes...

Also wondering if anyone reading this is in SW WI. and knows of any cheap vets in the area...

Thank you...

So we just recently got 2, 4 month old kittens/kitties and I am having a horrible time keeping the litter box smell down. It is not the urine that is smelling so badly, it is the poop...they are also very messy lil boys! We use the multi cat scoopable stuff and change it every other day and it is still stinking up my house!! I have a plug in air freshener thing close to the box but nothing is helping! HELP!!!

Here is my story and problem...We have a Black Lab/Collie mix and she is a great dog...she never nips or growls at our 4yr old son no matter hoe much he bugs her. We recently went through a pregnancy loss and after months of debating on getting a cat we got 2, 4 month old kittens. We of course have fallen in love with them already. At first our dog was more curious than anything, just wanting to sniff them. Now that the cats feel welcome here they are out more. We have been introducing them slowly, we had to leave today and we put the dog in our bedroom which we commonly do when we leave the house anyways. Well when we got home we decided to work on more introduction and as I was holding one of the cats my husband had our dog on a leash and she sniffed and then tried to bite the cat. My husband was quick enough to pull her back...

My question is....how do I get them to get along without fearing my dog will kill my new cats? I love them all and do not want to get rid of either of them. Please Please HELP!!!

So I found out a week ago yesterday that I am pregnant after trying for 3 years. They were concerned of a tubal/ectopic pregnancy because I am having horrible side pains and cramping. The pain is on my right side and can be very painful. I have been going in for blood work and ultrasounds every couple days and my dr called me today and said that my hormone levels are continuing to go up and they can now see the pregnancy (Sac) in my uterus so they are pretty sure it is not tubal/ectopic. But I am still having these pains. Should I be concerned or I am I being paranoid?? Help!!

I do have one child already who will be 4 tomorrow :) September 12th. But I never had this kinda of pain when I was pregnant with him.

So I found out that I am pregnant after 3yrs of trying. There is a chance it could be tubal. I have been getting blood work and ultrasound every 2/3 days. I go back tomorrow afternoon. Last time I went it my hormone levels went up so that was encouraging but still nothing on the ultrasound?? I am having these weird pains in my right side and now tonight I have a burning sensation in my upper back and upper tummy...almost directly under my breasts....I am so confused and I have wanted this for so long...could these pains be normal??

Thanks for the suggestion on buying a pan, but I want to make a special cake since we have no money for a party and were only able to afford 2 gifts.

I have an unopened of Whiskey with the old tax label over the top of it. It says Bond & Lillard on the label. Could anyone help me and tell me how much this thing is worth??

I have alot of old Reader's Digest books from dates way way back and I would like to know how much they are worth...if anyone has an idea please let me know! Thanks!

Unsure on the spelling of swade...but My friend called me yesterday and asked me if I could find out how to remove nail polish from swade couch cushion's...her 4yr old son decided to "paint the couch" with her purple nail polish and I have found that alot of people say window cleaner for carpets but will this work on a swade couch without hurting the couch??
