I had a small lump removed from under the skin on my leg today and got about 10 stiches. I don't really know how to take care of them. What I want to know is if i bend my leg (like walking or sitting) they feel really tight and i'm afraid of them popping. can that happen? how long until the skin streches and it doesn't feel tight? and what would be the best madicine for pain? i heard advil (ibuprofen) can cause more bruising, but what generic pain killer would be the same as tylenol? and how long should i keep the band-aids on it, and should i put medicine on them? or leave them how they are?

I would like to know if you know or have known someone that smoked a pipe, and if they have had any cancer. If any cancer, do you know what target organ...Lungs, liver, esophagous, etc...This is for a study on pipe smoking. Most data indicates that cancers in pipe smokers are low. I am just doing my own research. No need to list names or relations....thats up to you. Thanks for your time.

It seems like I've had this problem for 8 years, but I can't remember exactly. My boyfriend says I should go to the doctor, but I don't think this is serious enough. I think it may be normal, even though he doesn't have this problem and insists there's something wrong with me.

My problem is that if I go without eating for two meals, I'll feel really bad. I don't skip meals often. I'll get a headache and nausea, and then I can't eat. It's really hard to eat after I've started with the symptoms. My stomach burns really bad and anything I eat, it's really hard not to vomit it back up. It gets pretty bad. Does anyone else out there have this problem? Should I bother going to the doctor?

I talked about sharp shooting pains in my last few questions...one being right by my right ear. Got a cat scan of my head, looks fine. Now my cheek is puffy in a large area and kinda feels funny when i talked or move it at all. It feels like theres something in there when i push on it. Can this only be a dental thing? Or can this happen from some other infection? Im in pain still and i think i need antibiotics. Also, It seems to become more noticable after i smoke a cigarette...could that be affecting my muscle or nerve from the sucking? I thought before i had migraines then an ear infection and now a dental problem...I just need some opinions...is this all related? I dont have insurance, how much would it be if i went to the dental office for an emergency exam? Would they see me? I know its a lot of questions...but ive been suffering from all this for quite some time and im sick of it.

I asked a question about pain management, and someone came up with the name cannabis. I have never heard of this before. Can someone tell me what this is? Is it legal? Is it healthy? Is it illegal????
