I know it can be used on the skin, surely it is absorbed is this not dangerous ? I'm worried to use it for a skin wound though it was recommended.

I got a nasty cigarette burn at the bar about a month ago and it still will not heal. The Burn is actully pretty deep and melted away a few layers of skin, so now there is like a small divot in my arm. I have been washing it and putting neosporin on it daily. All it does is scab up and a than the scab falls off like a week later and underneath is just pale white skin that doesn't look like it healed at all. Also it had like a red ring around it, but i really don't think its infected at all since I wash it so much. Any help on making it heal?

I have cronic lower back pain that shoots down my legs, The veterans hospital is passing out Gabapentin, which is a seizure medication, and it does nothing for my pain. In fact it makes it worse, due to the side effects, Ie makes me sleep, lay in bed untill my back completly locks up putting the pain level up to a 10, I have already discussed this issue, the sent me more Gabapentin, What a joke..while I am on a long waitng list for testing.....be all you can be...right

Does anybody who else has Fibromyalgia have any tips...
I have just had my hair cut from waist lenght to the lengh of my bra strap around my back, as I suffer from really bad back when ever I wash my hair leaning over the bath. My partner also has Fibromyalgia and just washing my hair takes over 20 minutes. We use a shower attached to the taps.
My arms also hurt and so does my legs & knees. I have to stop half way through and rest and when we are finished I have to stay where I am as I am unable to get up to walk.
Any idea how I can reduce the pain for the both of us, as my partner also has osteoarthitis in his hands and lower back.

Before I ask this question, I do have an appointment to get into "urgent care" ( you have to make appts. for my insurance to use urgent care since there is no hospital near) tomorrow.

I've been having chest pain all day. It doesn't hurt when I'm just sitting still or standing, but when I bend down or turn my upper body it hurts. It's a sharp pain. I've taken tums thinking it might be hurtburn, but they haven't helped. I'm just wondering if anyone has any idea what it could be and how I can relieve it until I get to the Dr tomorrow??
