I don't have any sleeping pills or nothing like that. I'm in a lot of pain right now, emotionally and physically, and I need some sleep but I can't get there. Any home remedies?

Hello,

Today I slammed the back of my head into a large pipe at close range and at a quick and rapid speed by accident. So I don't sound completely mental, I had flipped my hair over my face and was going to flip it back, and I didn't know I was standing in front of the pipe. The moment that I hit it, I remember closing my eyes and feeling a bit dizzy, but I was back to normal and laughing about my clumsiness in less than a second. I thought I had split my head open, but what I have now is just a large lump. It hurts a lot, which is expected, but I just want to know if this could have caused a mild concussion. I have felt fine besides the pain on my head, and I do have a mild headache, which is normal, but I wanted to get someone else's input on this: preferably someone who knows more about concussions than I do.

Thank you so much!

I sprained my left foot & ankle early this summer, and my school/work schedule has severely slowed the healing process since i'm on my feet most of the day. I just need to know, if I ride my stationary bike at a moderate pace a few times a week, will I cause further injury?

Hi! I sprained my ankle and I five days ago and I couldn't walk on it! I was told I only had a lot of swollen tissue and that they didn't think I tore anything at all! I have school and wearing crutches is really draining. I don't feel any pain anymore from when I do walk on it, but I feel that if I went a whole day at school without crutches that I could reinjure it again! Am I ok or should I just wear the crutches to be safe and then gain it back slowly?

He had ADD as child and as adult. He had meningitis as child which caused learning disabilities. He now has uncontrolled diabetes and chronic pain from multiple fractures from prior traumas. He cannot lift heavy objects or tolerate the heat. He has COPD. He did not pay enough quarters in to Socuial Security and my income would count against him for SSI (but we are still struggling with children and living expenses).

Ok, so on the top of my arm (the humerous part, where the bicept is) I had a small black/bluish bruise that slightly hurt. I don't know where it came from, but I thought, it's so small, random bruises happen, et cetera. Now, over night it grew! and I mean grew to covering the large portion of my arm (about the size of a tennis ball) and it was mostly red in color with a little blue at the end. Now today, (only painful when I press it) it seems to have developed very small spots which are dark blue, they resemble goosebumps or hair follicles but the surface is smooth and not bumpy. I know, I know I should see a doctor, but at first I would like to check and see if any of you have any good insight on what this is/what's causing it.

I am a night owl. I generally get my 2nd wind around 9:30. Then, I'm up til midnight or so. I have tried going to bed earlier, but I just lay awake & toss and turn. I start work at 6am, so I don't often get a whole lot of sleep. I'm just curious if I'm alone in this. If I'm not--what do you do for it?

Sitting or lying down makes the pain worse.

Myears have been giving me trouble for a while, but it recently got worse. They are constantly stopped up. If I yawn or move my jaw, it stops, but a second later they are stopped up again. They also ache really bad, especially when someone talks loudly. Some times, its a dull ache in my eas and upper neck, then it's a really piercing pain that comes from the middle of my head. This summer before its gotten worse, my doctor told me it was from blowing my nose, and that holding my nose and blowing will help, but it didn't. I haven't had a cold since early July, but my ears have gotten worse...

I was messing around shooting staples. I held it too high one time and stapled my pointer finger. Only one side of the staple went in, so I was able to pull it out. It hurts pretty bad for a little cut, and its blue around where it is. I don' think its a big deal, but my mom is acting like its gonna kill me. Should I worry?
