Why do you get knots on your head if you bump your head, but if you pump your arm or leg, you usually only get a bruise? What is the physical difference between the head and other parts of the body that causes this unique reaction to an injury?

I like long necks but I think I hit the limit after using that stretching machine. Is there anything else I can do? Like are there some pills or something?

IV filter placed in vein following auto accident. Now it's too late to remove filter because it's been in too long. What are the consequences and/or side effects to look out for? Can this cause future complications?

I also have lost my appetite and hurt really bad in my pelvic area. I have to force myself to eat. I went to the doctor today and they did some blood work, but I'm worried because no matter how much rest I get, I still feel tired. I will have to wait for the results a few days. Any one have any clues?

I'm pale white, so white I seem to glow sometimes. Anyway, I want to get a decent tan so I was out in my backyward for several hours today playing ball and other things. I get a pretty severe sun burn. I've been reading a lot of people saying that tanning in the sun can do a lot of stuff to your skin like make it leathery, wrinkly, and give you skin cancer. If I use sun-tan lotion everytime I go out can I get a good tan safely without the danger of cancer or any of those things? I don't know if this helps but I'm 15, I have green eyes, brown hair, and freckles. (but only on my face) Thanks.

MY bird is a double yellow head parrot. So his beak his sharp, and med in size.It stopped bleeding with ice and pressure after 20 minutes. I have a bandaid to keep it closed. BUT, I can't eat or drink w/o it breaking apart. It's a bit deeper wound than I thought. But not bleeding unless aggravated. Will this heal on its own, w/o stitches, and what are my chances of having a nasty scar w/o stitches vs. stitches? Also, when I go to work tomorrow, I was going to buy steri strips...won't that do just as well as stitches. I would like some advice from people who may have had similiar lip problems. Thankyou.

I had a back injury 3 months ago, but it was in my lower back. Within the last few days I have had some back pain that starts around the shoulder blades and moves upwards. Today I'm noticing when I stand up it is uncomfortable to breathe, I don't feel like myself, I'm more pale in the face than usual and I may have had a fever the past two days. Even sitting here at my desk is beginning to hurt. I tried "popping" my back but I can't even get my back/neck to do that. Do I need seek medical attention? How quickly?
