My pen exploded in my dryer, outside in the cold. I spent 4 hours on my hands and knees cleaning it over 2 days with rubbing alcohol and nail polish remover. Now I feel like crap, I have a cough, my eyes run with crud coming out occasionally, and to boot, I have a huge bruise starting from just under my elbow to my armpit that’s about a hands length wide and I did not hit it on anything. I have a headache to boot. Any advice? sympathy?

I was jumping a double on my motorcycle and landed on the uphill side of the landing ramp. Didn't crash, but I had the balls of my feet on the pegs instead of the middle of my feet like I was supposed to, and had a very hard impact when I landed.

My feet bent UPWARD, and I immediately crawled around on the ground with the top and heels of my feet on fire (not literally). Never could put pressure on left foot, and very small (1/2 cm) range of motion in all directions.

3 days later (after Resting/Icing/Elevating/No walking) Larger range of motion, still slightly swollen, no bruising, but still no weight bearing allowed. When I put pressure, I feel the intense pain along the top of my ankle (tarsals) and the back of my heel.

Usually ankle sprains are from rolling to either side. Have never had it from bending my foot UP. I cannot see a doctor (finances) I would appreciate any advice.

My Middle Toenail On My Left Foot Just Fell Off... How Long Will It Take To Grow Back?
It's really gross... the thing is, I have a fear of nail damage and I'm climbing up the walls about this. The soft flesh under it, the tenderness, all my other toenails are painted red and that one is just empty... it's gross.

How long will it take to grow back?

I have been suffering from problems with my ears for about 7 weeks i first went to the doctors about 6 weeks ago and he gave me antibiotics coz he said there was an ear infection but that didnt go i went back he gave me drops coz he said there was a build up in my ears. It still didnt go so i went back and he said there was an infection so he gave me antibiotics. I went a fourth time to a differnt doctor and she said there is no infecition and no wax build up. So she is refering me to the hospital to have a hearing test. I have to wait 6 to 8 weeks for an appointment. My symptoms are both ears hurt from time to time not alot. There is no discharge. There is somtimes a whistling noise in my ears sometimes it sounds like i can hear my bload flowing. It is very uncomfortable at time and i can only hear it when its silent or not much noise. I am 17 and not overwaight i suffer badly from anixety so u can imagine what this is doing to me i am not over wait please help me X

Sometimes when I go to bed I will start into a sleep but after a while my legs seem like they are crawling. They feel like they are cold but they are not really cold to my touch. this doesn't happen all the time but when it does happen I may go without any solid sleep for several days and it just makes things miserable. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

my niece thinks she has worms in her stool i have heard of that but i also heard that if you have worms the symptoms are hunger, itchy bottom esp at night, and loss of wt.. well she says she has the first 2 but not the wt loss in fact she has gained some wt lately so could this really be worms or is it just something sh is eating that looks like them? and also if you do poop them out do they move or are they dead? i am srry i know this is really gross but she cant afford to go to the dr and i am not sure what to tell her

I had an abdominal hernia repaired exactly 1 month ago. Would it now be safe to go to Disneyland and ride the rides? I wouldn't want to tear anything but my kids really want to go tomorrow. I could call my doctor but this seems like such a dumb question!

Thanks for the advise.

whenever i have my arms bent, and then straighten them out, my elbows pop.
it causes no pain, but every once in a while it gets kinda uncomfortable for that split second.
what causes this?

I've always had a hard time standing straight, and I noticed I jut my neck out a bit. But it feels very forced when I try to correct it or keep my neck straight, to the point that it kind of hurts. When I'm conciously keeping my shoulders back, it feels weird when I try to put my arms out (like, to wash my hands, etc.) Any ideas on this? Thanks.

I switched from cigarettes to roll ups a few years ago, and each roll up i smoke is about half the the amount of a normal cigarette. Cigarettes seem to smell stronger and last longer. So, in other words, does cigarette tobacco have different qualities to rolling tobacco? Thanks

well of course it can.
but heres my story
i went ice skating for the first time yesterday and i fell really hard backwards, and hurt my head.
i was fine last night but whn i woke up this morning i had this tenseness in my neck.
its really hard to explain
when i put my head back and feel it, it feels really tense, and stiff.

an excellent informative, Encouraging book

called "Working with Anger". It is written by

Thubten Chodron. It is very encouraging,

helpful advice which will help a person

use sound alternatives, instead of anger.
