I can not go to my DR. as there are no openings until the middle of DEC. I went to the ER. and was told it is NOT life threatning so they would not see me. But my belly button is RED and I pored peroxide on/in it and it bubbled up. Can i put anitbacterial cream on/in/around it and cover it? I don't know what to do. I have a very high pain tollerence. so i didn't realize untill it hurt really bad.

I was in a car wreck 2 months ago.I went to an orthopaedic dr. which said my back pain is coming from DDD. Now, I run rescue,very active in my community.Never had a problem with my back before.I looked up everything on DDD.That is something that older people get from ealier injury in life,or something that has happened to over a peirod of time.So,how can this be what is wrong with me? I wasn't having lower back pain before my wreck. So, how can he say that's what is wrong.No, there hasn't been a MRI done.He said he wanted me to go though therophy first,and if that doesn't work then we will have that done.It's severe lower back pain at times.I can't sit to long,stand,walk or anything to long. I had to take medical leave from my resuce squad,and that is killing me.I just don't see how this can be what is wrong with me,if I was fine before!Please help! Do I need a different Dr.?

How are nursing care plans done in the work place? Is it computerized or hand writtten? Detailed or goes by a template? I think the kind we need to write for school is way to detailed and at times meaningless. What is the importance of a nursing care plan? I just want some personal opinions on how you find them useful/helpful/good or bad/unnecessary... etc.

hello,
i am an asian male age 21.
i have a small wound near the tail bone area, between the buttocks. it bleeds a very small amount of blood, but does not get healed. i do not recall hurting that area. i discovered it by finding blood on my clothes. it does not pain or burn at anytime, even when using the toilet. i can see a small round tear in the skin in the mirror if i separate the buttocks just below the back(i.e. much higher than the anus). even then it does not pain at all.
also there were no swellings or pain before or after i discovered the wound.

can someone please tell me what to do?

Just wondering...my husband and I went to a restaurant on Saturday, ordered some stuff jalepenos and had some more the next day, and he had another one or two yesterday. This morning he woke up with stomach pains, and has had a bowel movement 3 times today so far.

The reason I say Gastroenteritis (stomach flu/bug) is because the restaurant we ate at, our stupid waitress told a family sitting near us that her and other wait staff had a stomach bug all week, but it was ok because they weren't making our food and the chefs were fine. This was Saturday and I know stomach bugs take 24-48 hours to come on. I'm fine, but I've also been eating garlic like crazy! Could it be he just had too many jalepenos and they're burning his insides? Is it too late to already have symptoms for a stomach bug? He said his whole stomach hurt, but it was more lower, more so where his small intestine and large intestine are.

(Restaurant was On the Border, Woburn, MA)

Recently I've had a taste in my mouth like vomit and occassionly I burp in my mouth and it tastes disgusting. I haven't actually been sick but I don't know whats causing this.

My girlfriend suggested it could be stomach acid that I'm tasting.

Any ideas what it could be and how to stop it?

I try to jog at least twice a week. Lately I have discovered that I am hurting my feet alot from running. I have gotten shin splints before, but these seem to happen less frequently now. What I have been experiencing lately hurts alot worse. It feels like I tore something inside the bottom of my right foot. I'm not sure if it a stress fracture, torn ligament, torn muscle. I first felt this pain when I ran 7 miles over a week ago. I gave it about seven or eight days rest and my foot felt fine for the past few days. However, when I tried to run again today, I started to feel the same dull pain in the underside of my foot when my foot would roll. By the time I got halfway through my 3rd mile, I was in agony and had to walk/limp back to my car. Obviously, I did not give it enough time to heal. How long should I wait before running again? Is it mandatory that I see a doctor to determine this? I have new shoes, so I don't think that's a problem. Also, should I stop running on asphalt?

why does everyone flip out bout people smoking cigg's? whats so wrong about them? yeah they give you cancer and they are also addictive! not only that people are always complaining that your hurting your family and friends by smoking cuz u die. well what about all these foods....almost every food has something bad in it for you these days. coffee has 46 KNOWN cancer causing ingredients and no ones says anything to them. so why does everyone have to overreact about smoking ciggs?

I woke up in the middle of the night because it felt like some kind of liquid kept running down my throat and I kept swallowing (it was blood), and as soon as I sat up, my nose was bleeding. This hasn't happened in a long time but it has happened before, maybe a year ago. What would trigger it?

Ok I have scoliosis and I have to see a chiropractor twice a week. My back hurts very very bad most of the day. I can't walk around and for long periods of time without siiting down. I don't like having to take pain killers all of the times so I stay in pain.
I'm only a teenager and this pain has really effected my life. I can no longer participate in sports anymore because of the never ending pain. A car wreck a year ago damaged my back even more. I exercise 30 minutes every day to stay in good shape. And I eat healthy foods.
Is there any way to help my back, or do I have to live with this?
