I have had my ear lobe pierced with a loop earring for about seven months. I am scared to replace it. It is still red. I clean it everyday with antiseptic, but it still hurts. I think it had almost completely healed, but I hit my ear accidentlly about three weeks ago.

Is it safe to take it out now? Is it normal for an ear lobe piercing to hurt for a long time?

Whenever you get a nasty bruise, twist or sprain a muscle, we get told to put ice on it, to reduce the swelling.

But if the body makes injuries swell up as part of the healing process, the swelling should be beneficial, to help the injury heal.
If so why do we try to surpress it?

First off, it is not allergies. Every so often my eyes will explode in massive amounts of pain and start to water. Almost like having hot pepper juice in my eye (or something like it). It happens at any time; when I'm driving, walking, watching TV, anytime. It could be one or the other or both. I went to the eye doctor and they said they didn't know what it is. It is totally random, I might not have an attack for months or it could happen daily. It happens all year and in any location.

Please only serious replies.

Thanks...

She is under a Dr.'s care right now & has been for about a year for this one wound. It keeps growing no matter what they try. It started out as a tiny scratch-scratched by what, I don't know. She is, and has been, in tremendous pain that she dims with the pain meds the doctor gave her. She has been tested for diabetes 3 times--she doesn't have it. She has been tested twice for Mercer's and other "flesh-eatting" diseases--she doesn't have any of those. She has been tested and examined by at least 4 different doctors--NO ONE HAS A CLUE! I would be forever in debt to whoever can help my mother. ANY suggestions are greatly appreciated because I am afraid she may lose her foot, maybe her leg or worse.

maybe meniscus tear. After two weeks of physical therapy, knee still hurts, feel like some lead weight inside there. Originally unstable when hurt two weeksa ago. Feels sore when walking. Is orthroscopic surgery the only way to fix this? I'm doing exercises to strengthen the area about the knees. Some arthritis on x-ray, no MRI yet.

My husband cut his forearm at work and had to have six stitches. The doctor that saw him didn't give him any aftercare. In fact, all he did before hand was wipe the wound off with some alcohol pads. What should he be cleaning it with? Should he keep it covered with a bandage all the time? Is there anything else that he should be doing?

I have had terrible anxiety and I have been on Wellbutrin. I was feeling well for awhile, now I am feeling panicky and very tense again and the doctor prescribed more Wellbutrin. Has anyone taken this drug for anxiety? When I read about it, it seems to be more for depression.
