ok, please don't think im wacky.

i cut my finger pretty bad yesterday with tin snips (blades strong enough to cut through stainless steel) my brother applied pressure and put it on ice to stop bleeding, it was a while before i was able to bandage it. it was ok overnight but now is hurting again, the gauze is stuck and am afraid it'll start bleeding again if i peel it off. should i go to a doctor? i don't have insurance and dont want to go un-necessarily.

I heard that if you put a bar of soap in the bed it's suppose to help with leg pain. My father has Parkinsons and artheritis. Nothing seems to help and I can't and don't want to use meds because of the Parkinsons. Does it work, if so why. What kind of soap? Where do you put it, by the feet, by the legs, left-side or right-side? Over or under the sheet. One bar or more? Wrapped or unwrapped?

I received this broken rib / floating rib about 2 years ago and never saw a Dr. it occured when i fell of my dirtbike. this floating rib is the very last rib by the belly button it is on my left side so the other side is fine.I can notice there is something wrong because that rib sticks out more than the other side about an inch more. I remember that i was in alot of pain it would hurt when i would try to laugh. im not sure but i think the pain went away like in a month or two. It dosent hurt anymore but it has never gotten hit hard like a football player would tackle me right in the ribs. Would those rib protectors be sufficient protection to play high school football. Are there any dangerous things that could happen to this part of my body if I get tackled there what is the worst thing that could happen.

Question: Do you think in a court of law with a perfect employment record, 128% of quota, no write ups, ect. A jury would say, I was fired for retalation in needing ACL surgery? Or the employer is just.? Please let me know

Is it ok to take tylenol AND motrin at the same time? I have arthritis and although the motrin helps longer term (doesnt work instantly because of its anti-inflammatory properties), the tylenol helps more with pain. Is it okay to take these around the same time?

They ache pretty bad, especially the left one. So much it hurts to sit and move around. It's really uncomfortable. Not bad enough to go t the ER in my opinion, though.
So, besides the possibility of not having enough water, what else could cause this much pain and what can I do about it BEFORE having to see a doctor?
