On Friday I think I was bitten by a brown recluse spider and I'm not sure if I need to go to the doctors or is this something that can clear up on its own. The symptoms I have are very sore and stiff hands, two bites on my are that are raised but are not red anymore. Any ideas? The only reason I think its this type of spider is because my bites look like the less severe pictures

Please tell me your opinion on the legalization of marijuana. Also, please be specific such as "I am a doctor and I believe..." or "I am a pothead and I believe" etc. The more details the better - I am using this information as a jump-off point for a blog entry.

Our 9-year old son has swollen, red, runny eyes since an hour or two ago. We don't know what caused it but he did go swimming in our apartment pool about 3 hours ago so, that's a likely cause. We've tried Visine eye drops and of course washing face and hands. What else can we try tonight? We can take him to see a doctor tomorrow if it's not better in the morning but I'd like to avoid a $2,000 emergency room bill for something that will probably clear up in a few hours.

There is like a blister around the splinter and I can see a brown spot that looks almost like a scab. I think this is a splinter. What should I do? I am guessing see a doctor. What do you think?

I have a scorching sunburn on my chest, back, arms, and legs. I'm putting aloe on the burn but am looking for something that will help with the pain and stiffness so that I can be able to put clothes on and go back to work tomorrow.

After a month or so my pain left me from my TMJ symptoms(BAD headaches, clicking jaw, ear pain). Now I am getting BAD headaches all the time once again and think i am getting the TMJ again. I have had a CT scan and all that and it found nothing. HOw can I relieve this pain until I go to the doctor tommorrow ? And what kinda symptoms did you have if you have this as well?
