my wrist to stop hurting? I was in acrobats and took a nasty fall two months ago. I landed on my hands and now any weight on my wrist is almost unbearable. I have worn a walmart brand brace for about two weeks now, but it just seems to be getting worse. Does it get worse before it gets better? do i need to spend money on an xray? what do you think is wrong with it?

I sleep with earplugs every night. It started when I moved to a house in which I slept on the same floor as my brother, who constantly coughs. Now I can't fall asleep without them. I'm kind of scared incase they cause some long term damage-like partial hearing loss or something bad like that! Does anyone know whether or not this is safe?

I woke up two mornings ago with my ears plugged up. I thought it was earwax, so I tried to clean them out and (I thought) only made things worse. Now my hearing is reduced by about half. It doesn't hurt, I just can't hear very well. One ear keeps going in and out, like it wants to clear up but can't. What is going on and what can I do? I've tried commercial ear wax remover and I've tried hot showers.

If the 'white' bit pf the eye is not white, but a different colour, what does it symbolise?
Like, i've heard if your eye is slightly yellow, you may be a sickle cell carrier.

is there anything else???

Over the past year I will swell up if I get a fly bite (deer/horse fly). My feet, hands and head are worst. Sometimes, my entire calf swells and it doesn't subside for 5-6 days. Is there anything over the counter that anyone else uses to help this?

I have never had a sunburn that peeled because I am usually good about sunscreen - not this time.

I burned on Saturday, Wednesday it started peeling. Today is Friday and it is itching like crazy!

Now what? How do I stop the itch - it's red and raised and bumpy where it itches - do I have a rash or infection or is this normal?

What happens to my skin now? How long will it be discolored?

I have pretty bad rugburns on my knees and they hurt! I have tried ice and several cremes but nothing is working!

What can I put on them? Should I bandage them or keep them uncovered?
