In the middle of ballet class yesterday, my ankle started hurting when I pointed or when en pointe. It still hurts when I do so. My ankle hurts around the Achilles tendon area, but it does not look swollen or red, nor show any other symptoms of any injury. What could it be and what should I do?

I was on Oramorph for severe pain but when I take it I itch all over, I've tried taking an antihystamine but it doesn't work till the drugs worn off. The pain has got worse and my GP has prescribed MST tablets so it doesn't have to wear off. Problem is I was so spaced out and being sick this morning I forgot to ask about the itching. Is it OK to take the MST as it is Morphine or is this an allergic reaction and I should avoid taking them? Please help as I'm in alot of pain and need to take something. I don't want to bother the Dr again as I am new to the practice etc

Do not say 'there is no known cure' because that's doctor talk for 'you do not have enough money to purchase this cure'.
I know there is some type of cure for cancer because, like I stated in my last question, I read some type of science magazine on it.
It has to deal with the injection of some type of charged microscopic gold platelets into your blood stream. Then after a few hours or days they put you under a heat lamp.
Or something of that sort.

hello

Im a 17yr old male. Please dont be offended by this, My testicles and whole groin region is very hairy. There are strands of hair around my testicles, going upto my anus, about 3-5cm long. It gets annoying sometimes, when my briefs grasp the hair, and i can feel the pull.

Any reccomendations?

I've had sex with someone who i think has hepatitis C 7 years ago. I haven't had any health problems since then nor do I have now. Is it possible that I might have hepatitis C? Please honest answers only, thanks!

I got serious astigmatism after the lasik surgery, not right after the surgery but gradually getting worse, image can be well recognized but with a cluster of gleam around, and the deepness of real image is slightly lightened, I didn't pay attention to it first but afterwards the symptom is getting worse, I don't know what the problem is, I do read a lot and face computer everyday, but before I got the surgery my eyes keep in the steady state since 5 years ago without getting worse, so I wanna find the reason. I wonder if it is because when I study, when I concentrate, I unconsciously strain my eyes, which strain the cornea causing the deformation of cornea (the cornea is thinner than before for it's cut by lasik surgery) . So the cornea is becoming thinner and thinner, it's suppose to be very dangerous if the cornea become thinner, which is what I concern about, I wish I could stop the diaster but the situation is still getting worse, can somebody help me? THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
