Health - 23 June 2007

Does it? I felt really crappy the last few days, I had taken Clindamycin for my tooth abscess and it has cleared up, my question though I had mild/moderate diarrhea then got constipated, now Im starting to have stools again today. I am feeling way better today than I was yesterday by far I thought I was going to die. I am supposed to "deliver" a sample to the hospital so my doc can check me for c-diff...but he wants the diarrhea sample, I haven't had any to give in a few days. Not sure what to think, I'm just scared of feeling like I did for the past two days...I felt great for a week and then bam for two days, then last night and today I have felt better. Thanks for any input guys!

How do you treat cryoburn? Where your skin has become irritated (and surprisingly painful) from being exposed to cold for an excess amount of time. I was given cortizone shots in my feet and the doctor put a cold spray on the spot to numb the area and now i've got a rash and blisters. Any suggestions?

sadly, I just turned 17 and have never used a tampon. I am embarassed. I have no clue how to insert them or anything. I don't have a woman figure in my life to ask and pads are pretty self explanatory. I am going to Florida in a couple days to go swimming and to Disney, unfortunately, that is also when I get my period. What is the best brand for swimming, and does the string show if you wear a bikini?

several times did so many tests its not pink eye which when i went to my walk in clinic on the weekend they said it was and gave me the prescription, that didnt help so i saw my general practiciouner and he said thats no pink eye why did they prescribe those meds.

Basically he said that in my R.E.M. stages of sleep that my eyes may not be shutting all the way. he did a test where he stuck these paper things on my eye ball and measured the amount of water my eyes produce and yes my left eye is doesnt produce as much so there for it dries out and i need to go to sleep with this clear crap in my eye every night. has this happend to anyone and will it go away?

I have seen several questions like this, and I haven't seen a proper answer to the one that most disturbs me. If you are young, and if you are below normal short status, you need to see an endocrinologist. Don't believe all who tell you that you'll get a growth spurt. Find out the answer. You should take a test to see if you're making Somatomedin C, an essential part of Growth Hormone. If you're not making it, then you'll receive growth hormone. If you take the growth hormone, the chances are great that you will achieve a normal height. Tell your friends. Any comments or further ideas?

For the past month, my right buttocks cheek has been sore (it feels like a pulled muscle). But lately, in addition to the right butt cheeck pain, my spine/back on the lower right side hurts a lot as well. A friend of mine says it could be a tight hamstring, but others have said it could be some serious back deterioration. Anyone experience this?

I've never really been able to fully enjoy myself when doing certain things, such as going to hang out with certain friends. If I'm excited about doing something, or wanting to do something but restricted by other means, I start to feel extremely ill.

Right now I'm feeling ill but I don't have any plans to go anywhere except my fathers house in a couple of hours. What happens is my heart feels almost like it's an abnormal beat, I get very tense, and my stomach starts to hurt, almost like it's digesting faster, this always results in frequent trips to the bathroom.

The problem is when this happens and I'm driving somewhere, I almost feel like it could be dangerous because I tend to get shaky, I almost feel nervous, and get shivers constantly. The problem is extraordinarily worse when it's cold out. I shake so much I can barely hold onto the steering wheel. It's not normal chilly shivers though, because no one else is really that cold while I'm shaking like no other.

Thanks in advance

It is close to the thumb, but right online with the middle finger (in the palm). I can move all fingers w/o pain except for the middle finger. It seems sore. The cut was kinda deep. but I washed it over a tap water (sink), and used paper towels and pressed to stop the bleeding. I then put a butterfly stitch bandage and a big bandage (almost covering the palm, and a nice blood spot (size of about half a pinky nail), and it doesn't hurt as bad if I keep the hand half way closed. I stock paper and chemicals (laundry detergent, and stuff along those lines) at Wal-Mart. What should I do? I'm scheduled to work in 2.5 hours. Thanks...

My friend was about to curl my hair yesterday when she saw a marking on my head that looked strangely like a Target sign. It was about a centimeter big and hidden in my hair. I know it is probably not a mole because it is red. It does not hurt at all. Do you have any idea what it could be?
