I stepped on something and punctured my foot. I don't know what it was and couldn't find it or see it. It didn't bleed and doesn't seem particularly deep. I cleaned it out and have been covering it with Neosporin and bandages. My husband and I have looked at the wound (a tiny pin hole) and can't see anything stuck in there. It hurts like the Dickens when I step on it, sharp pain. I called the doctor. Anyone had this happen before? What can the doctor do? I'm not normally scared of the doctor's, but I can't stand injections and hope he doesn't cut into my foot. Please put my anxiety at ease.
My last tetanus was 1997. It's still good, right?

I lack confidence. I've become a bit more confidence over this year, but still feel like I lack confidence. I always feel self-conscious, whenever I am walking in public, I feel uneasy, because it feels like people are judging me. I'm shy and reserved in public, but when it comes being around my family and close friends, I'm really outgoing and am loud and not reserved at all. I really feel saddened by my lack of confidence as I want to be an actor and know that this proffession, like others in the entertainment industry, requires a certain level of confidence. I also find it hard to make friends, as I lack the confidence to engage in a conversation in a social gathering. What do I do? How can I improve my confidence?

There is an foul odor coming from my ear too. No pain though. There is also a little puss. Is their something I can try at home to cure this before I have to go to the doctor?

I went to the dentist today for my routine 6 month check up, I go every 6 months without fail and in my whole life I've only had 1 filling, when I was 16. I'm now 23 years old.

Anyway, today when I went it was a different dentist to the one I usually see and he did the examination and told me I had 5 cavities!!!!! I was totally shocked, I mean I had a check up 6 months ago and the dentist said my teeth were fine - how could I develop 5 cavities in 6 months??? I asked the dentist if he could show me them, so he used a camera and took photos to show me 3 which are very obvious on the top, then showed me 2 others on my x-rays.

But how could I possibly have developed 5 cavities in 6 months?? Was the previous dentist just missing them? Or did they really all form in 6 months? If so, how can I stop it from happening again? I brush twice a day, floss fairly regularly and don't eat all that much sugar compared to my friends.

A very good friend of mine was diagnoised with colon cancer, it went into remiss, then showed up as lung cancer, this past May, it moved to the vagina and tho she told doctors she needed to see them; they put her off and now it has a good foot hold. She was supposed to get help from a large local hospital, but because it moved to a new place they will not see her now. Anyone know of any help for her? She has a wonderfull husband and sons. I am burning a trail to God with prayers for her as well as her family. I am not sure if her husband will survive long without her; and her sons as well. They are such a loving family and my heart aches for all of them. Please if anyone has any information that may help her please let us know. People who are this loving shouldn't have to be pulled apart like this.

Why do people smoke if it's so disgustingly bad? Is it just because they don't know that there's rat poison, cleaning detergent and all of that stuff and think it's best way to relieve their problems- even though smoking gives you even more problems??? And why continue making cigarettes if we know it's bad- just for money? Argh, if there's a problem with something, why not at least try to stop it?! :\

My left eye seems to be better placed while the other one seems to be more in the front therefore appears bigger. I didnt notice that until last year.

My parents say I'm fat. Then they say I'm not. (According to them, I'm also stupid and forgetful.) My friends say I'm not fat, but I think they're just trying to make me feel better. I'm 11 years old, 5 feet, and at least 106 pounds. I throw up twice a week. What's wrong with me? Why can't I just be the daughter my parents always wanted?

I am 13 and yesterday was on my friends trampoline and she fell on me. At first my fingers went numb and had a bad pain through my arm, and then pins and needles. After about 5 mins it wore off. But today, It hurts everytime I stretch it. When i straighten my arm out it hurts in the middle, at my elbow. When I dangle it by my side it feels like my hand is about to get cramp and its a bit painful. When it is bent though It is fine. What is wrong? please help thanks

I broke the #2 and #3 toes on my right foot, they have healed and when |I hurt my foot and leg, my leg was x-rayed and they found nothing. I still have tremendous pain in the bottome of my foot and in my leg. physical therapy only makes it worse. They have tried a tens unit and that makes the pain worse. The physical therapist said I might possibly have damaged muscles and tendons, and my podiatrist wants me to see a physical science Dr. He says I may have RSD. I know my body and I know something is wrong with my leg mainly because I cannot move my foot up and down and I cannot move my toes, I try to move them but it almost seems like they are paralized. I have asked for an MRI or Cat scan and if my Dr. doesn't agree, I will probably get a 2nd opinion. SOmeone please tell me what I should do.
