I think I broke mine a few weeks ago. It's swollen, but never really bruised. It's movable, but there is moderate pain. I have not seen a doctor because I believe all they do is splint it. I have a job where I use my hands all day, and if I go in witha splint and cannot do my job, I will be sent home, no pay. I cannot afford to do this. Am I being stupid not seeing the doc?

Two weeks ago i started having a mild burning pain at the right side of my chest, it worsens when I smoke, I've been smoking for over 12 yrs now and i am 31 yrs old. Recently i increased my smoking rate from about half a pack a day to a pack a day cos i was really stressed up, thats when this pain started. I am over weight and i don't exercise much. I complained to my doctor and he gave me some painkillers and asked me to come back if the pain doesn't go away, I'vew finished the drugs and the pain is still there. I've decided to suspend smoking for a week to see if the pain will go away, if it does then i will consider quitting permanently. I have a 4 month old daughter and I'll like to live long enough to give her good education etc. The pain gets worse when i take a deep breadth or try to pull my stomach inwards. Is it possible that i have burned my lungs with heavy tobacco smoke or is this a symptom of something more sinister, i'd like to know before I go back to the doctor

Last year I had dengue fever. This year again I deveopled high fever. I was given antibiotics to bring down the fever, but the blood platelet count has come down from 1,70,000 to 1,14,000. How serious is this? Do I have dengue? I do not vomit, nor have any rashes in my body. I do feel weak though, but even that is better now. My leucocytes count is also quite low, about 2,600. Kindly help me with my query

My partner was diagnosed with gonorrhea last week and he is currently udner medication. I was diagnosed with UTI, and have finished with my medication. I had a urinalysis to check if my UTI is cleared. There are no other abnormalities in the result of the test. Is it possible that I acquired gonorrhea but it was undetected in the urinalysis? Thank you!

Because there was a fall in the quantity of spinach, I think the price would increase and shift the supply curve to the left.

I had three surgeries on my left eye within three months. Macula hole repair and two surgeries for retinal reattachment. Silcone oil was placed in the eye but no fluid is being produced to keep the oil from my cornea. Is there any operation available to correct the fluid problem. Thank You

I have a client that has really bad stretchmarks and they were asking me about it since Im supposed to know about skin. Hes a guy and never has been heavy- or gained or lost alot of weight ever, and just has them all over his back, and legs and arms. It really bothers him, and he said he wanted to know if its from a lack of a certain vitamin, or something that he can do to prevent anymore from coming. I know some people get them from pregnancy, or gaining weight fast, but he has never had any drastic changes like that so can someone give me some info? I sure dont know too much about that but would love to help the poor thing. THANKS!

She has an oblong lump behind the nipple, started out about an inch long, maybe 1/4 inch wide. It has doubled it's size in 1 week. She's sceduled for an ultrasound late this week, but the doctor won't tell us what he suspects it may be. What are the odds of cancer? Does cancer usually grow that quickly? My grandfather died at age 45 from lymphatic cancer....how concerned should I be at this point?
