I have a nasty burn. The blister that formed popped prematurely and the skin got ripped off. Now I have an even worse raw area where the burn was. How shoud I care for this? How long will it take to heal?

i was at a dance convention all weekend and after the first day my calves were killing me. when i woke up the next morning i could barely walk and still had to dance that day. three days later they are still killing me and i pretty much walk around like an old lady. how do you know if it's a pulled muscle or just really really sore?

It's actually the spot where the corners of the fingernail meet the skin. The pain is tolerable but it is extremely annoying. Hand/skin lotion doesn't help. Suggestions?

i have a wound on my elbow that won't heal. what happened was that the skin came off howevere did not bleed. I cleaned it with water, applied neosporin and put a bandage on it. but yeaterday when i took the bandage off, the new forming skin stuck with the bandage. so it looks like a new wound every time i take it off. should i put alot of neosporin to keep it from sticking to the bandage? help!

I had something wierd happen yesterday. I am 28 so I am too young to have a stroke I think. I was walking and got a sudden severe headache running up the back of my head. Ten minutes later I was driving home and my left arm totally went numb for 5-10 minutes then has improved. Its still tingly but my headache went away. What could this be? Has anyone had this before? Could it be a pinched nerve in my neck or spine?

Hello my daughter is 12 years old and gets frequent migraines/headaches triggered by sunlight,exercise, and heat.When she runs her face turns extremely red and she is out of breath after 30 seconds of running.I don't know if she has asthma or not.She said one night she had extreme pressure in her left temple and she said that it felt like it "popped".She told me she has terrible pain but only for about a minute.Her face has been a tinted red ever since the incident and her face is almost always hot.Is this just asthma...or is this normal?Should I get this checked out by a doctor?She has high blood pressure but nothing that is wrong with that.

I had a cortizone injection in my back yesturday and it was in the spine. I was told that I would be given a sedative for it and that I should expect to be in a lot of pain. When I did get the injection, I didn't get any sedative and it really didn't hurt that much. It felt more like getting blood drawn but with a little more pressure. After having it done, it was a little sore but could still get around without too much pain. Is this really normal and has anyone else experienced this before?

I'm not complaining any, but I was expecting it to be much worse since I did get the injection in the spine. I have been told by others who have gotten them that they do hurt a lot when you get them in any kind of joint.

the past few months i've notice my left knee pops every now and then when i walk. it pops when fully extended. what could this be from? can it be corrected?
also my right shoulder pops when i do shoulder exercises. that one exercise where i push up towards the ceiling when siting down.
well im more worried about my knee because i feel it when i walk if i fully extend it out. it also feels weird when its cold.
JUST trying to be as descriptive as possible.
also, yes i do have insurance, but i'd rather know ahead of time before i go see him. most likely he will refer me to a specialist (like they all do) but what do you think the specialist will do? x-ray? open me up!? just asking.
but also i think the knee popping started when i started exercising by running. any other alternatives instead of running?
sorry for all the extra details.
BTW im a 21yrs old, Male and weigh 152.
it think i should drink more milk.

Here is the situation: I have serious health problems (birth defects arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and mosaic turners syndrome) and no insurance. I have scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, bilateral hip dislocation among several other problems. The back problems have me currently suffering from pinched nerves. I am working part-time because I can't physically handle more than 25 hours a week. I make $7.50 an hour. My meger pay check barely pays my essential living expenses. I can not afford to see an orthopedic doctor, because without insurance they want payments made before the visit (at least the doctors in my town). So I know what's wrong and I know I can't afford the surgery to get better. Here is the best part.... I went to social services and tried to sign up for medicaid and I'm not eligible because I can - work even though the doctors have no idea how I am physically able to do so. I can't afford another emergency room bill... what do I do?

Any recommendation on a good colon-detoxification cleanser? I need something that will actually work. I'm suffering from constipation and feel miserable. I need to cleanse my digestive system. Your suggestion will greatly be appreciated.
