General Health Care - November 2006

Kept clean, held together with bandages, no stitches. Stitches were definitely part of the advise of the doctor, but I decided, not to get them. It was a clean cut, with a box cutter razor. The last cut I had that was this bad took about a month to heal.

Is it true that a person with black skin has fewer layers of skin, which means muscle tone is much more visible than a person with white skin?

I am not sure where I heard this and have no idea if it is true. Can someone help me out please? Thanks x

Physiotherapy in the form of EMS, passive movement for the wrist, dynamic **** up splint is being administered . The patient is not responding to EMS even at high intensity and wasting is seen in the extensors of wrist. Is surgery the answer after 3 mnths of physio therapy or shd one wait for more time?

I recently gave up smoking, although when I smoked I relied on the stimulants you get from smoking a cigarette to aid my very bad level of concertration when I am working. Now I decided to give up, my work is suffering. I dont get as much done as I used to, and I get really easily distrated. I dont really want to use that as a excuse to give in to the cigs, but its utter torture at the moment. I have drunk more coffee, taken regular short breaks but nothing seems to help. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can use to improve my concertration?

Sometimes after I make a wrong movement or finish up a hard work out I still feel pains in my side....not extremely painful, but enough. Is this normal or should I be worried?

I had my 3rd one in two days just 20 minutes ago. It started yesterday. It starts off w/ a small pain and builds up quickly in my head to the point where I want to cry. Then, it goes away as quickly as it came. Sometimes there is a little slight pain here and there for a few minutes after it goes away but nothing like what it was. Does anyone know what this is or where I can get information that might help me figure out what it is? I am scheduling a doc's appointment as soon as posible so dont waste you time telling me "I dont know go see a doctor". Im not stupid. Im just impatient.

I had a puncture wound on my finger where it went through my bone. I had it x-rayed in the ER and then once more for a follow up 4 weeks later at a specialist. During this time, I got off medicaid and now have new insurance. Now, 2.5 months later, my family dr. wants to get more x-rays before sending me to a specialist, who I'm assuming will want to get another set of x-rays. Is this excessive? I don't want to get cancer... you feel me? All this, and I feel like nothing has changed in my bone. I can still move my finger freely(disconnected).

thanks

I hurt myself in a scooter accident and my head was bleeding and my leg was hurting somewhat. But two hours later, my shoulder is hurting as well and my leg is hurting much more now. Is it due to the adrenaline rush?

I got a lot of veins raised above the skin surface right where the leg is joined to the foot (I don't know if I should call them varicose veins), ad I just happened to get pierced on one of them (is that what you call a splinter?). Problem though is I couldn't see the thing that pierced me (all I felt was a sharp pain that wasn't an insect bite or anything), so I just blindly scratched at the affected area to get whatever it is that pierced me out. I don't know if that worked or not, though, so I'm asking if what I did was right (not likely) how do you deal with those things and what are the risks if I don't get the out of my body and if they stay in (can they travel in the blood vessel and clog something or cause bleeding?)
