Health - 27 June 2007

I play in a very sucessful Highschool Competition Marching Band and I am in the Pit percussion section, it is my second year in the band and I keep on getting these blisters on my index fingers from the mallets and they get so painful that I can't grip my mallets correctly during other practices this is really making me play less than my full potential. I would greatly appriciate it if someone could tell me a quick cure for whatever these blisters so I can get in full gear for competition season.

Ok, well I have this weird cough. I really don't have anything else I sort of have a mucus nose but its not plugged up just a tiny bit of mucus in my nose. Easy to blow out, I don't think thats serious. Anyway every 5-10 minutes I start to get an itchy throat and sounds like I have asthma and I cough a couple of times. Its hard coughs too. Like it hurts my stomach a little bit but not a lot because I am like flexing really fast because of the cough if that makes sense. When I cough I hack up some snot? I cough and then I sort of push up to bring it in my mouth and spit it out. The back top of my throat is a little bit itchy but not a lot. This is very very very annoying. It happens constantly the flem is gross sometimes I don't have to push it up my throat at all it just hacks up into my mouth and I spit it out. I really really am depressed because of the way I feel now. It is very very very VERY annoying!!! Please what do you think I should do or what do you think is wrong!??!

This is so embarssing. I'm 17 and a High School Senior. I'm a Big Girl, I weigh 315lbs but I don't look like it. I started my period at age 9. From that age until now, I've been wearing Pads and Pantyliners. I'm sick of having to deal with Pads. I hate the yucky feeling.

I hate to ask this but, which brand of tampons are right for overwight girls? I have never ever tried a tampon. I had always bought them but when I came on, I was to scared to try it so I went to pads. My periods start out Heavy for a few days then gets back to normal. Is is good to wear a Pany Liner on your heavy days?

Sounds gross. It is. My ear hurt a long time when I went to my derm I got some cephalexin, so I figured it would kill the earache. Well it never did. I have puss on the Qtip when I swab. Some green colored ear wax... I flushed with peroxide and swabbed, a big scab came out. My ear was bleeding yesterday. It hurts bad and I already know I am going to the doctor tomorrow but why is there green in my ear now?

I've been to the doctor so don't tell me to do that please. I'm just curious if anyone in the general public has experienced this and can give me some insight. I currently am experiencing:
Almost daily headaches
Migraines with vomiting in the a.m.
Migraines that do not get better with ibuprofen (Advil)
Migraines that cause weakness for the entire day
Headaches that cause fatigue and weakness
Dizzyness
Muscle twitches
Feelings of vertigo (a little different than dizzyness)

What do you think? Stress? Dehydration? Brain tumor? Paranoia?

If you were to be smashed into something hard from backwards, or something hit you and your ribs broke, would there be a chance, or would they be able to break through the skin and cause an open fracture with the ribs sticking out?
As all of the organs are kept WITHIN the ribcage, they wouldn't be damaged right?

Has this ever happened to anyon? Or does anyone know about this sort of injury please?
What would it feel like exactly?

By the way, this hasn't happened to me, but i am writing a novel and need peoples opinions please!

I was playing basketball and this guy like backwards headbutted me, so it cut my chin that bled for a while, and my tongue bled even longer, but they both stopped, after i rinsed it out. But the problem is that I can't feel the right side of my mouth, and the part I can feel when I try to close it hurts, also it looks like the back tooth may have been bent/pushed to the outside. And the bottom of my chin that got hit looks inflamed. What can I do to make sure my face doesn't scar and to make sure my teeth are ok? And is it ok to go tomorrow to the doctor/dentist if I have to go at all?

What is the difference between the two? I'm considering a career in the Alternative Health field. When researching schools I find that the description given is basically the same and it is driving me crazy! Could someone clarify for me? I am interested in weight training and sports medicine; Which path would be best for me? Thanks again.
