I've often heard that putting a raw steak against a black eye will help. I've never tried it before, but I want to know,

does it really work? If so, in what ways does it help, and why does it help?

It seems absurd how some drugs are a perscription and some are not. We can cause harm very easy with some over the counter drugs as well as perscribed.

I just feel its like the car some things almost seem done on purpose so you most have it serviced at a shop. So do you think it is at all a monopoly for the health industry in a whole?

Of course, me being retarded yesterday, chasing after my sister, hurt myself and now I got a question... She had tried to shut the bedroom door, sorta as a diversion so that she could get away, but, in the process, my arm ran into the door, HARD... Now, it isn't bruised, but is just a little bit swollen... it is about three inches from my elbow, on the ulna... is it even possible to have broken it, and it just hurt like a bruise? Or is it indeed, just a bruise??? I will be getting xrays tomorrow, but I want to know what to expect... thanks...

I got injured my left shoulder blade (scapula) a year ago. I still have the pain in my left top body. took MRI and Xray and did not find fracture or muscle strains. All symptoms made the doctor think that it's a nerve pain.

I tried physical therapy, massage therapy. They all increased the pain.

The doctor asked me to go through acupuncture. I took it last week and it's also increasing the pain. Do you think I should continue with the acupuncture to complete the remaining 5 more acupuncture sessions? will it help eventually?

I had problems last week with a swollen gland. The doc said to suck on something very sour to promote saliva flow, as he thought there may be a stone. Today the same gland (between my chin and ear, right under the jaw bone), hurts so bad it's insane. On the 'pain scale' I would give it an 8. The gland itself is about the size of an olive. Is this a normal size? Do stones have a tendency of returning like this? Any other ideas what it could be? I have tried the sour candies again, but to no avail. I do not have a fever or feel sick, so I doubt it's an infection. I don't have an abscess, just an EXTREMELY sore gland. Feels like I was shot in the neck, kind of a sharp pain confined to that one little area. Is there anything an ER could do for me besides pain meds? Can they do a biopsy or take the gland right out? How do they diagnose and treat salivary gland stones? Sorry this is so long, it's getting concerning though.

I'm pretty sure I dont have DeQuervain's syndrome, but it was recommended to me that I might have it .I went to a website about it and there was a test to see if you do. The test HURT, i think more because my thumb has never moved like that. Could I have done anything serious? Or did I just aggrivate it?

I burned myself and it left a blister on my hand, about the size of a wart and it looks like a wart. I'm wanting to get rid of it because the burn blister looks like a wart on my hand. However, I don't want to bust it. But I want the blister to go away on its own. It's been 5 days and it's not even busted yet and formed a scab. Will my blister go away after my burn on its own without me busting it?
