I just discovered a dark purple bruise on the side of my leg, just on the side where my knee is. I’ve not hurt my self so I don’t understand where this bruise has appeared from. Could this be a blood clot?

I had my ears pierced (Again after 15 years) 2 months ago and one ear is just not healing. I have been putting the ear antiseptic on 4-5 times a day. It is not red and swollen, but a little sore and there is a tiny bit of discharge. HELP!

On my right hand side, at the front, about 2 inches below my ribcage.... What part of the body is that? (biology wasn't my strong point!)
It's been a couple of weeks now, and whatever it is feels really bruised, it wakes me up at night, if I lay on my right hand side and hurts when i move about.
What could it be?

is I can't continue to take ibuprofen every single day. My doctor put me on pain medication but it is getting to the point it is not working and I am getting addicted to the medication. I don't know what to do. I went to a neurologist and told me I had rebound headaches but if I don't take some type of pain reliever then I will end at the ER which I don't want to do. Can someone help me.

I am going to get me nose pierced but my parents are not in agreement. (I am a Freshman in college but still am dependent on my parents) I have been told that the clear retainers should not be used until the piercing has healed. Is this true? What would happen if I used a clear retainer anyway?

BF knocked knee badly and has been diagnosed with the above - they are going to drain it out (presumably under local anaesthetic?) next week. He banged it badly. Is the foreign body likely to be a piece of dislodged bone or tissue? Or something else? He didn't cut it, so it doesn't seem that anything (like a wood splinter for example) went in at the time. Being a chap he was in great pain and didn't ask too many questions at the time - so grateful for any medical advice :)

This habit of mine isn't so bad because it cured my other bad habits like chewing my nails and forgetting to brush my teeth but lately its all I think about. I'm afraid of losing control when this habit becomes an obssession.

I know buddhist monks get only like 5-6 hours of sleep a night, I'm used to getting 8-9, but I've been thinking what I could do with those extra hours, I just got 5.5 and I'm pretty tired, but will my body start to adjust. I don't think we really need 8 hours of sleep do we?

I am having my elbow manipulated under anaesthetic to try and improve movement after a radial head replacement. How much pain should I expect after and how long before it eases off? Has anyone had this done?

I have inflammation and pain in my rotator cuff, going back years. Now that I'm actively weight training again, it's really bothering me and affecting my quality of life. Before restarting weight training, the pain was merely a minor nuisance, something I could easily live with. I had it looked at, and the doctors basically said I could come in and get steroid injections every couple of months to manage the pain, or I could have rotator cuff surgery. I've talked to a few folks that have had the surgery, and NONE of them have anything good to say about it. They said the post-operative pain was bad, and it took several months or longer to heal. What do you think?
