Is there a way I could do it myself?

I'm just curious to why you have been exhausted. The reason I ask this question is because I've been going to nursing school now for about 5 months.... I have 2 wks until winter break and my body crashed this weekend. I basically lied in bed all day and my body was aching... that can happen from stress I suppose and being exhausted. America is a country where you practically work like dogs and you don't really get to enjoy the little things in life because your so busy trying to make a living, get good grades, take care of your household, etc. Its just nice to have one day to stop and smell the roses. Well, just curious have you experienced your body just giving up on you because of severe fatigue?

I burned my thumb on a lighter when trying to light a candle I already tried ice and running it under cold water, but after the numbness goes away it burns.

Durring the summer i had a lot of really painful cramping in my feet.. i thought maybe it was due to wearing flip flops alot but yesterday while sitting in a movie my foot cramped up again.. luckily it was only the left one... Do you have any idea why this would happen?

I broke my fibula 3 weeks ago today and the cast is scheduled to come of in 8 more days. My concern is that it has begun to hurt even more the past few days. I am worried the cast might not be ready to come off. One thing to note: the temperature where I live was unseasonably warm and the time the pain increased was when Austin had it's first "hard freeze". Can this influence the pain in a broken bone? I guess I have 2 questions here but am getting frustrated and sick of being gimped.

I'm not talking about the clinical part(actually practicing with a real person), there are written exams and study material that goes along with this too. Please answer if you actually have info.

I suffer from Spondylolysis, its a small crack in the vertebra which can cause major back/nerve pain. And it does......
Any doctors or anyone that knows any positions or medacine that can help with the pain?

I am now in my mid 40's @ the age of 15. ~ I had fallen and really messed my knee up. Still have problems with it to this day. I have had my knee replaced 9 yrs ago after have 10 surgery's on it from the time I was 15 to 19. I am now dealing with a second knee replacement after a BAD Infection. and you want to talk about pain untill you have a infection in the bone I have never had PAIN. I have a IV run every day with antiboitic's in three ways. I am now looking at having a 3rd knee put in. If this infection clears up. if it don't I may have to think about. ~~~~~~~~ having them do something I really don't want to think about. something I have fought all my life to keep from having it done. What I am wanting ? Is to talk with someone about amputation... If there is any one out here that is had a amputation Please get a hold of me .

It started a day ago, at first I didn't know it was swimmer's ears so I started popping my ear drums (just holding my nose and exhaling making my ears pop) and I was wondering if that was going to harm my ear drums severly.
Also, I'm not sure if I should go to the doctors or just wait it out until the pain goes away. I've had near deafness in the ear and severe pain. I've had swimming for a whole week but I also have a cold, but I have all the symptoms of swimmers ear just not the drainage.

And avoid getting one yourself? (my mother has one and I want to help her, but I don't want to catch it)

The doctor told me that I had a stitch left after he thought he removed them all. It was not dissolvable stitches. What would have happened if he did not catch this error and had left the stitch in my body? Would it just stay in my body when the wound closed?

When I open my eyes, everything comes into place because my eyes both go to the side when I close them. It's also hard to put in my contacts because my left eye starts going to the left...(I have no problems putting the right one in, though.) I'm 16 right now and I don't know if it's something that will get worse. (AKA permanently lazy eye)

If i drink a sleeping pill, let say one Unisom, when i fall sleep, is it easy to wake up. will any noise wake me up or is it hard to be waken up, that even if you make noise you won't be able to wake me up or is there any specific pill that can make you deeply fall sleep that nothing can wake you up, until the effects go away after a while.
