General Health Care - November 2006

About a month ago i slammed my finger in the car door BOY did it hurt! anyways i ended up going to the emergency and they
released the blood from under the nail, the doctor also told me my nail root had fell out but he put it back under and all was fine. About a week after half of my nail was coming off it was just hanging there so the other day i decided to cut off as much as i could with some nail clippers. To my suprise there is half of a nail sitting there under were the old one was and half of my old nail is still clinging on for dear life. The new nail is really close to my thumb and the skin seems to be lifting alittle bit over the old nail. will the nail just push its way over the skin ? or am i going to have a problem?

I have a feeling that my father is back to taking oxycodone. He finished a rehab program several months ago but He looks really bad recently. His face stays red as a tomato, he has severe edema (his feet can't even fit into his shoes), constant sweating, and extreme sleepiness. I asked him if he was back on the pills and of coarse he denied it. I'm just wondering if these symptoms sound anything like what the oxycodone will do to you.

I have to take one on Friday, and I smoked some weed Monday night. Is there another way to pass, without using someone elses piss or masker.

Will masker even work?

Every once in a while i get this throbbing pain in the back of my head like someone is hitting me on the head with a hammer. It's not your typical headache, this is worse. What would this be and what causes it?

I've got weak knees and I've been told not to jog anymore. However, I'd still like to keep fit. I've been swimming regularly. Just wondering if swimming still places pressure on the knees? Because when u're underwater, each time you "kick", aren't you also placing pressure on the knees?

A missed torn ligament in the center of my wrist is now gone and I had 4 bones removed instead of a fusion. Has anyone here had a bone fusion done on their wrist? I cannot twist my wrist under any kind of strain and may need to have the wrist fused for stability. Would like to know if anyone has had the fusion done to alleviate pain on the side of the wrist. Thank you.

I got my tounge peirced on Saturday Nov 4th and the tip of my tounge feels like its burning- kind of like when you eat a hot food and it burns your tounge and you get the hot stinging effect. Like that but on the tip and edge of my tounge. It makes food feel weird. Plus my tounge is still sore, my gums around the top of my teeth (just the top set) are hurting and theres a white ring around the barbell. Is this a sign of infection and what do I do? Im rinsing my mouth out whenever I eat or drink and taking care of it like I am supposed to. I dont know what else to do.
Help appreciated.

0o, I have carpel tunnel- numbness in my fingers, hands, and arms, especially at night! I do have the wrist braces to use at night, but I find that I must use an elaveted pillow/wedge, and 2 pillows on each side of my body to rest my hands on, if I try to turn to either side, the opposite hand/arm will begin to hurt/burn, like when your foot falls asleep.
does anyone else suffer from this, and is there any vitamins that will help with my poor circulation.
any advice greatly appreciated.

If my doctor ordered me bloodwork to be done at a diagnostics center, will i have to pay another co-pay to the diagnostic center even though I have already paid one at my doctor's office?
