I wear contacts and I think they are getting a little old. Anyway, I slept out one night with my contacts still in (they are the kind that are supposed to be taken out while you sleep). I woke up and my left eye was in extreme pain. My eyelids felt heavy and when I walked into a room with a bright light, no matter how hard I tried I couldn't open my eyes. This was two days ago..now my left eye is red and bloodshot, its very sensitive to light and keeps trying to close, it won't let me open it all the way, and occasionally hurts. What could be wrong? Should I see a doctor?

All day and night I have this numbing and tingling thru my left arm, for over a month now. It started from a stiff neck went to my shoulder and now my whole arm to the tips of my fingers. No matter what Im doing, the only way it goes away is when I lift it over my head.Could this be from a heart attack or stroke, that Im not aware of, or is this what they call arthritis?

It is under my right index finger and my nails are to short cause I bite them all the time. So how would I be able to get it out.

I've noticed a post from Tenn Gal who also has such problem. I would like to mail her but no mail is allowed.

So is there anyone else who has such problem and for how long?

I have it since beginning of this year and I still have pain. Just wonder how long it will take to be completely healed.

I notice this the most when I look at something that is a pure white, like a piece of paper. With both eyes, it looks white of course, but it changes if I look at it one eye at a time.

My left eye seems to see the white with a very slight bluish-green hue, while my right eye seems to see the white with a very slight orangish hue.

This doesn't really affect anything, but just a curiosity.

I gave blood on Monday. November 25. I have severe brusing, and swelling, tingling, redness, pain were the needle was put in. And this has been going on for a week. I called the American Red Cross and all they said was that they busted a blood vessel and hit a nerve. Also she said to put warm water/ a heating pad on it and then we would go with that. Do you think that I have a blood clot?

I know it's not lack of sleep, if anything, I've been getting too much. It's only my right eye, and it's been going on for a couple of weeks. It's really noticeable to me as well as to others. How do I make it stop?

I've gone to get X-rays, but the docter says there's nothing wrong with me. But I'm sure there is something wrong. The bone looks deformed and when I finish any physical activities I have trouble balancing and have extreme pain when walking. I've shown some different people what it looks like, and they agree it looks really deformed. On top of that, the bone thats like a ball, the one that's connected to the big toe, is also really painful. Because of this my entire leg is aching with pain, and I've had to overload on Ibeprofane. Can someone please tell me what's wrong?

I have been trying to increase my water intake. So last night I drink a 16 oz bottle water. I didn't drink it fast, I sipped it over a 30 minute period. When I was finished I was really bloated and it felt like I had heartburn. It wasn't painful but it was uncomfortable.

Would anyone know why something like this would happen?

Lower lumbar problem affects the hip and pain down to the knee, when I sit down or stand for right around 30 to 40 min almost feels like a pinched nerve, driving for a distance maybe 20 min it feels the worse, and when I get out my hip seems stiff and as I start to walk it gets loose again. MRI shows little to nothing.
