General Health Care - June 2006

I'm in the process of having a tattoo removed. I've had 3 treatments. The last treatment I had hurt a lot worse than the other two, and the nest day when I woke up and took off the banage, the WHOLE tattoo is a giant blister. It's so big that I'm afraid if I move my ankle the wrong way it's going to pop. I called the doctors, and they said that it's normal, and to just keep it covered. This doesn't sound right to me, any ideas or comments?

This is probably a crazy question. I just got the piercing done yesterday. The area around the piercing is red and it's sore...which I suppose is normal for a recently done piercing. But I'm just worried because I got my nose pierced before and it did the same thing then got infected.

My 7 year old daughter somehow has injured the heel of her foot. She has been limping and I am wondering how long it will take to heal. She has been to the doctor and he told me to come back in 3 weeks. Is there anything I can do to help her foot feel better? She likes putting it in cool water. I am going to ask the doctor about a brace, because any kind of pressure seems to agrivate it. It is hard to make her sit still all day to give it a chance to get better. Has anyone else done this, or have a child that has injured his/her foot. It mostly hurts on the heel where she walks.

I had an accident a few years ago and tore up my knee which caused me to limp badly, resulting in messing up my back (or so the Chiro said).
I was prescribed 60+ mg of Hydrocodone daily (but I took well over 100 mg) and have since quit taking it (one of the hardest things I've done!). I have moved to a small town in OK and the docs here won't prescribe pain meds except for right after surgery. So, I had to quit.
Is there anything at all I can take over the counter that will help my pain? I've tried Tylenol and Advil but I'm gonna destroy my liver at this rate and still not get rid of the pain.
I have a bulging disc in my back, less than 1/2 the cartilage in my knee and something wrong with my neck.
Help?
Thanks!

Should I wake them up at around 8 am for breakfast or is it better to allow them to sleep. They are growing rapidly but it worries me that they don't eat for so many hours each day

I am a healthy 45 year old. (xcept for 40 old broken bones, which were all CLEAN breakes)... I don't do drugs and take my vitamines, etc... Since I was a kid, occasionally (couple times a year) I wake up with what I call "sloshy brain syndrome". Its like during the night my brain shrunk a bit and when I lean over, I can feel my brain slosh to one side and I get the HEADSPINS like wild for a few seconds. Sometimes it will last to the second day and thats it. No pain or anything... Many people I have talked with ALSO experience these brain slothy days!
What is that??Just curious!
