I have hockey tryouts THIS weekend!!! No broken toe is going to stop me, but I feel like an idiot. I stubbed it twice in the past ten minutes because I am hurring about trying to do this and that. How can you tell if it is broken? Right now, I cannot even walk on it. Any ideas on what to do with it so that I will not do any more damage to it now or this weekend? Oh, and don't tell me not to tryout, I worked too hard this summer to throw it all to waste. I AM trying out, so don't tell me not to.

I was attacked by a detail of ancient Sumerians and they shot me and left me for dead but I came to and I'm alive and everything but I can't reach the arrow to pull it out. I broke the shaft trying to pull it out so now the arrowhead is loged in my back and I don't know how to get it out.
I can't go the the emergency room because last time I was there the nurse told me "if you come here again with one of your crazy stories I'm sending you to the asylum".
Please help me.

I got terrible food poisoning from shrimp a few months ago where I had similar symptoms to what I'm having now. After taking anti-biotics the symptoms went away. Then about 3 weeks ago I started noting the same problem... every time I drink or eat ANYTHING, I get horrible stomache pain, cramping etc. I got an endoscopy, an ultra sound and cat scan that all revealved nothing. I'm at the point where even just a sip of water hurts horribly. Several people have told me this sounds like a parasite? I know nothing about those. Someone else told me this could be my gall-bladder....I have no idea where to go with this. The doctors have been very little help.

I really would like to know if anyone else has had this experiance with their child. She has seen two different doc's and no one seems to know what is wrong. It seems to me that if you have a fever of 101-103 for 7 days that you should have some other kind of symptom. All blood work comes back normal and the only other thing that she might have is a virus, but I would like to know what kind of virus would cause this.

I went to the dotor, and basically it was because my mom was a bit worried, and told me to. The doctor gave me a quick once over, told me to take an over the counter, and tell my mom to stop worrying. I felt (a bit) like I was bothering the doctor. I have/had a cough and stufy nose.

i've been working a job where i lift alot for the past 4 months, for about the last 2 my wrist is hurting off and on and im sorta worried cause it hasnt gone away, but it doesnt constantly stay either, it seems only under stress the feeling returns, no numbness just aching in a very specific region, if you follow the pinky side of your hand down to your wrist with your palm facing you you'll feel what i think is a tendon? it feels sorta like a huge vein, the pain seems to stem directly from that and always in the same spot, right at my wrist about quarter of an inch past the palms ending, the pain only comes when im working (lifting like 50+ pds constantly) or sometimes when im on my comp using the mouse seems to bring it out every now and again, seems when its rested the pain subsides but seriously in my job there isnt much room for rest, i cant quit, and i cant go to the docs so im just spitting this out here to get some feedback, anyone with similiar issues resolved without docs?

If a man was to run across Canada to raise money for MS would you make an effort to show encouragement by going out to see him if he runs through your city? Or be willing to run with him for a bit...This man is my business partner and best friend and we are in the process of planning this event, - Feb 28 starting in Victoria BC and running , biking , rollerblading to St John's Newfoundland. Should take us approximately 8 months, there is a team of 5 support people, He has had MS for 19 years.
WE are working very hard to organize this event, and I"m curious to see what kind of response we will get from the general public.
Thank you.

I was recently diagnosed with herpes, and had a UTI. I have been on antibiotics for quite a few days now. However, I am experiencing urine retention. I feel like I have to pee, but I can't. It gets to the point where I have to run to the ER so they can put a catheter in me. Do any of you have any "home remedies" or tips to relive urine retention until this antibiotic starts to fully work? Thanks
