I got a dui four months ago. Hired an attorney, paid him ,000. Now he doesn’t return phone calls or emails. Can I fire him and get some of my money back so i can hire a new one?
Actually David, two weeks ago he told me to call him on Wed. I did but he was with a client and promised to call back that day. No call. I then called on Fiday got no answer so left a message for him to call me back. More than a week later and no return call. I emailed him last Friday (8-13-10) and once again asked for a call because I had questions.SO far, late Monday, no return call or email. I may give him until Wednesday and then move on to a different attorney.

my mom just had lumbar fusion in her back and she moved a wrong way and she thinks she broke the new vertebrae/discs. is that possible?

help.
her surgery was last friday, and the pain is in her leg.

what should she do?

I was on a walk last Friday, swinging my hands, front to back, as I walked. About 10 minutes into my walk I felt my right arm getting heavy. I tried swinging my arms more to shake it off. After about 3-5 minutes the heaviness went away. I walked for about 30 min.
When I got home, I spent about 30 min cracking shelled peanuts with my hand.

A few hours later I felt a pain in my thumb area(palm side). The pain felt like it was starting to cramp. When I woke the next morning this thumb area was VERY sore. Cramping feeling. I could not grab anything or make a fist. I do have the start of arthritis in my hands my doctor has told me. I am 48 y/o female. My neighbor tells me it’s just arthritis but I think it’s more like a pinched nerve.

I made a doc appt for Wed., but this is killing me. I’ve done the ice pack but that only relieves it as long as I keep the ice on.
Anyone know any hand exercises I can do?
****I did see the doctor and he confirmed this is a pinched nerve. He got the same thing a few years ago and said he knew it was extremely painful. He said when most sleep at night they sleep with their wrist curved cutting off blood supply. This pinched nerve prolly happened when I was walking but deeply set in while sleeping. I am to wear a carpel tunnel wrist brace while sleeping for the next week. And take Aleeve for the inflammation. He also gave me some other pain meds for during the day. Thanks for any answers.

I hurt my lower back last Friday and it’s been getting worse by the day.
These past 3 days I haven’t been able to eat or drink anything without throwing up. I’ve had mild fevers and I’m very tired all the time.[I know for a fact I'm not pregnant] I’m going to the doctors tomorrow.Do you think the two go hand in hand? Or are they seperate things?

I usually get one about once a year for terrible pain in my lower hip/back when the weather gets cold. I got a shot for pain last Friday, ran a marathon (my first) on Saturday and now the pain is back. Should I tough through it or call the doctor?
