This might sound really random and strange but i've just accidently swallowed a fish bone while eating my dinner. It didn't hurt, and just went straight down but as i'm pregnant i'm worried this might harm the baby in some way now! Help?

It started 18months ago with ear ache which was excrutiatingly painfull, that soon spread down my neck and caused severe pain in my head. After about 2months the pain eased and all this smelly green stuff came oozing out. Its been like that ever since (2005). It has bled,theres skin coming out and the smell started getting worse and my hearing isnt the same. Im on about my 10th lot of antibiotics but things arent helping. Doctor is just as confused!! Can anyone help? Is my hearing going to return?

My knees have been bothering me off and on for years. I'm 29 and physically active (no running though) and otherwise healthy. My knees ache from time to time, not always together, usually just one then the other.

Sometimes it's so bad I can't sleep. I take ibuprofen, use aspercreme, etc. but it only lasts a little while.

I went to the doctor once and they told me the undersides of my kneecaps were rough, and that with exercise it would improve, but it hasn't.

So . . .any ideas?

I am seeing an infertility specialist because i haven't been able to conceive anyways i went in may 18th because i have had continuous spotting since the second week of April, He did a transvaginal ultrasound which showed i have lots of follicles and my uterine lining is very thick((he diagnosed me with PCOS))..My last period was April 3rd to the 7th, right after stopping my period that's when the spotting started and still has not stopped..
Anyways he ordered a bunch of blood tests for me ((15 tubes filled of blood for testing)) and my doctor called me yesterday with some of the results it showed that i have a high level of testosterone((normal 40-60)mine was 151 and my estrogen levels were also high. I'm still waiting for insulin and glucose results..Other than that thyroid, prolactin,FSH,LH, CBC was normal...
Doctor wants to put me on Metformin but not until i get an HSG and a hysteroscopy, how many woman wih PCOS have taken this and did it help with conceiving?sucess rate??Please

OKay, so in november I ended up in the Emergancy room because i was having a lot of chest pain/difficulty breathing, I was told that i had a bad chest infection, was givin a z-pack and sent home, a week later exactly 7 days to be exact, i was back again, only this time it was worse, I couldnt say more than 4 words without being completly out of breath, Never had any breathing reperatory issues other than a dry cough that refuses to go away. They then told me i had pleurisy. Well In Febuary I started having breathing problems again, and very very very high heart rates and blood pressure, like heart rates of 160+ Im 22. I have been given echocardiograms, ekgs, numerous chest x-rays 3 mris, and 2 catscans, everything comes back perfectly normal except my white blood count is around 11. Nothing they give me will make the "infection" go away or the problems stop. ANyone have any idea what it could possibly be?

Is it genetic or is there any other explanation that explain why their teeth grow in crooked besides "they just do"?

I was diagnosed with eczema more than 5 yrs ago and back then the dermatologist only look at my limbs and body when the condition was really bad.

Now, the only exist on the back of my elbows and my knuckles. However, I noticed my scalp gets very itchy recently, and when I scratch it, alot of flakes came off. Some are transparent, some are slightly yellowish. Sometimes the itch is really persistant and I wounded my scalp due to scratching.

I tried neotrogena T/Gel stubborn itch control (coal tar). It's really a very nice shampoo - stopped the itch and give a extremely cooling sensation when shampooing. However, ocassionally, I feel the itch immediately after my hair is dry after the shampooing. And flakes fell off when I scratch.

I started to wonder after the flakes dandruff or eczema. How do I differentiate the 2?

I'm taking Keflex at the moment for my acne and am wondering about side effects and how long it will be before I see results? Does it work or are there other antibiotics out there that are more effective (most over the counter stuff either makes it worse or just plain doesn't work).

Thanks.
