Cure Colic and Finally Sleep!

Colic is a medical condition that affects babies. In medical terms, a baby has to cry for more than 3 hours a day, 3 days a week, for more than 3 weeks in a row before colic is diagnosed.

Colic tends to be worse at certain times of the day, such as during the evening and in the middle of the night. While the baby is crying they look so angry! Their fists are clenched and legs up in the air while the abdominal area is cramping up.

Colic usually starts in newborn babies to infants who are two months old. Not all infants get colic but it is very common. There are a number of things that you can do to relieve the colic and get your peace of mind back. By the end of 3 months your baby should be over the episodes and both of you can, once again, get some sleep!

Cryosurgery Used for Chronic Foot Pain

BRADENTON, FLA. -- For those with chronic foot and/or heel pain, Dr. Brent Rubin has a suggestion: Give it the deep freeze.

Rubin, a podiatrist at HealthCare America, isn't advocating that pain sufferers immerse their feet in a bucket of ice cubes. Rather, it's cryosurgery -- an ancient concept that uses super-cold temperatures to treat inflamed or diseased tissue.

"It literally freezes the nerve," Rubin said of the procedure, which he has performed on about 150 patients. "It doesn't kill it permanently. The nerve will regenerate anywhere from six months to a year later."

And, it usually heals itself in the process, thereby eliminating the source of the pain, he said.
