I stepped on something and punctured my foot. I don't know what it was and couldn't find it or see it. It didn't bleed and doesn't seem particularly deep. I cleaned it out and have been covering it with Neosporin and bandages. My husband and I have looked at the wound (a tiny pin hole) and can't see anything stuck in there. It hurts like the Dickens when I step on it, sharp pain. I called the doctor. Anyone had this happen before? What can the doctor do? I'm not normally scared of the doctor's, but I can't stand injections and hope he doesn't cut into my foot. Please put my anxiety at ease.
My last tetanus was 1997. It's still good, right?

There is an foul odor coming from my ear too. No pain though. There is also a little puss. Is their something I can try at home to cure this before I have to go to the doctor?

I am 13 and yesterday was on my friends trampoline and she fell on me. At first my fingers went numb and had a bad pain through my arm, and then pins and needles. After about 5 mins it wore off. But today, It hurts everytime I stretch it. When i straighten my arm out it hurts in the middle, at my elbow. When I dangle it by my side it feels like my hand is about to get cramp and its a bit painful. When it is bent though It is fine. What is wrong? please help thanks

I broke the #2 and #3 toes on my right foot, they have healed and when |I hurt my foot and leg, my leg was x-rayed and they found nothing. I still have tremendous pain in the bottome of my foot and in my leg. physical therapy only makes it worse. They have tried a tens unit and that makes the pain worse. The physical therapist said I might possibly have damaged muscles and tendons, and my podiatrist wants me to see a physical science Dr. He says I may have RSD. I know my body and I know something is wrong with my leg mainly because I cannot move my foot up and down and I cannot move my toes, I try to move them but it almost seems like they are paralized. I have asked for an MRI or Cat scan and if my Dr. doesn't agree, I will probably get a 2nd opinion. SOmeone please tell me what I should do.

does anyone know why my ear is still hurting? I have seen my family doctor and a specialist!! They both said they can't see anything when they looked in the ear. Its been hurting for about 1 month now off/on. This weekend it hurt to the point I put hot packs on it like my doctor said, and took some advil/alieve and it still bothers me. I also put some peroxide in it. That didn't even help. Any suggestions for a home remedy or something I could put in the ear to help ease the ache. Serious answers only, doctor or nurse answers would be very helpful. Thanks..

My friend started a new job almost a month ago (He is 18) and it's a high-stress job for him. He's ALWAYS tired. Like, he'll sleep for 8 hours and he'll wake up feeling like he never went to sleep at all. Or sometimes he can't sleep that long so he sleeps about 5 hours and he's still tired. This can't be good. This morning I briefly mentioned that I think he should see a doctor but he had to go because he had to go to work so we didn't have time to really talk about it. I'm just worried that something's going on. Should he see a doctor? Have you experienced this or has a friend of yours experienced this and what was the problem (If any)? Thanks for your answers. I appreciate it.

Light chest pains with anxiety? Doc put me on Lexapro, he said my heard sounds fine, and I had an echogram stress test done 6 months ago.. All came out ok. I was on Celexa for probably 15 yrs , and I started feeling anxiety again. So he changed it to lexapro, but I am still having light chest pains. He said the medicine might take 2 weeks to fully kick in. Is this normal with the chest pain. Like I said its very small light ones, and they just come and go. Please all advise is important to me. Serious answers only plzzzzzzzz..
