I have been getting Physical Therapy for a torn rotator cuff, and recently they have been putting a transdermal patch of cortisone on me. The second I received I broke out ina rash and wash extremely itchy after I removed the patch. I just took the third one off, and I have been sneezing. A quick shower releived the itchys. I have been told that a shot will help tremendously, I am jus worried I may get sneezy all the time. Has anyone ever had this before?
I need advice on what to expect, and what are the dangers.

I stubbed my big toe yesterday, and the nail is like a flap. I flushed it out real well for 10 minutes while i waited for the bleeding to stop. then I fit the nail over the bed like before, cleaned it with rubbing alcohol, put a bunch of antibiotic ointment on it and bandaged it. Do i need to carefully remove the nail that was like a flap? Do I just keep adding the ointment to the nail and its surroundings and keep it covered until the new nail grows back? what do I do and for how long? Any ideas?
I really dont want to have to go to a Dr. unless I really have to, So any help would b great. Thanks.

My foot has been huring for a couple of weeks now. I had a doctor's appointment for something else and decided to bring it up. She xrayed it and both she and the PA think it's a stress fracture, though they were sending it off to a radiologist to read it (although, I've heard it's hard to detect a stress fracture from an xray so... who knows what's going on?). I have to wait until Monday to know anything for sure and get set up with an orthopedic doctor and get a boot and such, though, which is a problem because I work in retail and have no choice but to be on my feet for prolonged periods of time. Is there anything I can buy in terms of an ACE bandage or some sort of brace to wear for the weekend?

Have you ever fainted, and if so, what was the cause & where were you? Yesterday in church my friend fainted and then I almost fainted. I was gagging and sweating and everything got blurry.

I posted this same Q under Mental Health but thought the audiance would be a bit broader in the General catagory.

How can I, as a sane and fairly rational person, convince an old friend (who is deeply in denial) he needs to seek medical help regarding what I seriously feel is the Stockholm Syndrome? I can see the evidence clearly but can not produce a convincing argument.

I have tons of relatives, I mean TONS. And me being on crutches (I'm having ankle surgery) and having all those people there,at Thanksgiving, I think It's going to be very rough.

Also when I go back to school, I'm afraid I'm going to get murdered inbetween classes. Kids are going to be staring at me like I've got oranges growing out my nose, they're going to be trying to trip me, and how do I carry my bookbag, and my lunchtray, ect?

I'm thankful It's not a major operation, but the aftermath will be rough, any advice, or tips you can share with me?

Well as most parts of your body grows as you age, it's only natural that your lips grow too. BUT, mine got kind of big.. It was pretty thin as a child up until I was 13, then it inflated into a moderately plump set of lips.

I'm almost 17 now, will the structure change in the future? My parent's lips aren't really big.. or maybe they look thin now because they're old. Either way, anyone a lip-buff here? Shed some light please?

I have a smallish one on one foot, not sure of the angle, but it's hurting more and more all the time. I'm wondering what people's experience is with the surgery, recuperation time, and espesh, can you wear high heels after the healing is complete.

When I wear it, my back doesnt hurt and back is straight. Then when I take it off to go to sleep in the morning it hurts. My question is do you think i should wear it straight for lets say a week???? Maybe its like a broken arm that needs to be in a cast. All I know is when this thing is on it feels good and nothing hurts and it helps my back stay straight too:)

I was playing basketball and my ankle rolled and I heard a pop. I did the RICE program and it did help.The swelling seems to be more so after I have been on my feet at work or after I wake in the morning and get going for the day. The brusing is only left on the back of my leg between my ankle and calf muscle. I can walk almost like normal and I can rotate my foot with no/little pain and move it up and down, side to side.

I think an injury can make you think its age related like when I was 24 and had a thing going on with a nerve in my hip, but now I'm really noticing a general lazyness which is good because I've always been hyper to much and a definate decline in sex drive but then is it mental because its there as strong as ever when arroused. Share your thoughts.
