Does Tom Adderly have a big nose?
I don't have any specific information about Tom Adderly's physical appearance, including whether he has a big nose. If you're referring to a public figure or character, it would be best to look at photos or descriptions related to that individual. Ultimately, perceptions of physical features can be subjective.
What have people tried to avoid back surgery?
People have tried everything you can think of to avoid surgery! Surgery should always be your last option as it comes with the most serious risks of all other treatments for the back.
Things to try to avoid surgery will be almost entirely dependent on what the problem is...mechanical back pain? scoliosis? herniation? anterolisthesis? stenosis? fracture? cancer?
What does it mean to keep your foot elevated?
Lift your foot. Hold it there. That's "keep your foot elevated".
Typically what you're referring to is when a sprain or break happens (or possibly a burn). The first aid would be to keep the foot elevated to ease the swelling and keep circulation flowing until medical help arrives.
Your doctor will tell you to go home and keep the foot elevated. This means put it on pillow, not up in the air but slightly higher than you hips. Keep it there, relax, have someone bring you a bell and ring for service.

What is the edible marijuana dose to relieve pain?
As a long time patient, taking marijuana both in edible form and smoking, I can only speak for myself. In both forms it truly depends on the quality of the marijuana. Obviously the lower quality the more marijuana is needed for the desired effect.
Most marijuana is purchased by the 1/8th of an ounce and up. An 1/8th of an ounce will usually give me 20 to 30 smoke-able "doses"
Can a friend send you his legal medication that he does not use?

The potency and how long meds can work do depend on the person taking the drug. And the variance can be dramatic. The narcotic in Percocet, oxycodone, is roughly 50% stronger than the narcotic in Vicodin (hydrocodone). For comparison purposes, hydrocodone is just about equal to morphine in potency. Neither Vicodin nor Percocet are formulated to be a long lasting drug, so both will peak in intensity and gradually diminish in strength as time goes on. I believe both Vicodin and Percocet are written to be used every 4-6 hours as needed. Taking it all into consideration, I wholeheartedly agree with the original person who ed this question - it depends on the person. The only reason I went into detail on potency is to show that these drugs are so similar in strength that it really does boil down to the patient.
The medications will last the same amount of time depending on the person. If you take a higher strength it won't make them last longer they will just make the pain relief better for you. Percocet is stronger than Vicodin (depending on the person.) For me I know that Vicodin works on me and Percocet doesn't do anything for my pain.
Why is there Pain in the fat in your lower back?
Pain does not usually come from the fat in the lower back unless you have a discrete fatty lump which is called a lipoma (again even these are usually painless). What is more likely is that your pain is radiating from the "spine". This can be from a disc causing pressure on a nerve, a narrowing of the spinal canal (stenosis), joint pain between each vertebra (facet joint degeneration) or rarer conditions e.g. infection and tumours.
