I have been working bussing tables at a resturaunt, after the first hour or two my feet start hurting any advice?
The job requires a lot of walking all over the resturaunt, and there is no time for sitting down.

I think I got the timeline right, anyways. I think I may have cracked something in my rib from coughing. Is this possible? From what I have read all that I can do is wait for it to heal. Is there anything I can do to make the healing process go by faster? Thanks!

Our carpet was torn out the other day, so those nails that were holding it together were exposed. They aren't rusty, just so you know.
Anyway, I pricked my toe on of the nails (and by prick, I mean, it left a microscopic dot). I pushed the blood out and cleaned it. All that's left today is...well, just a microscopic dot.

So, with all that said, should I get a shot? I haven't had one in the past 10 years (it's been almost 12), but I don't have any money right now. Should I not worry ?

About a month ago, a girl hit me with her fieldhockey stick when she tried to drive the ball, but hit my leg instead, if this would affect anything, I kept playing. After a month, I still have a slight bruise and this lump. The lump doesn't hurt, but time to time my upper hip does hurt, but I think that pschology is taking over. I keep trying to talk to my mom, but she won't listen. I now am having dreams in which I get my leg amputated because of it. I take my dreams seriously, so this scares me. I keep saying it will go away in two weeks but it doesn't. What should I do? If you have any idea, what is it? I know it isn't a tumor or anything, but I'm worried it is a blood clot.

blood in the eyeball. He doesn't have insurance so he can't go to the hospital. What could this be and how can he treat it?!? He is an adult, not a child and no, he hasn't been hit in the eye. This just came up out of no where.

I've been brusing really easily. I have no idea how I get the bruises they just show up. Sometimes I might bump against something but it bruises easily. Any idea what's causing this?

I'm not on any meds that can cause this. I used to take Naproxen but don't take it any more. I thought that was what was doing it.

TIA!

I have chest pain everyday, at random times during the day. I guess its just heart burn since it runs in the family. But today, while i was having chest pain, my left arm felt heavy, sore, tingly, and went from warm to cold. It went away in about 30 minutes. But should i be concerned? How can i tell if this is heart burn, or heart problems?

I hurt my left knee and my right ankle about three weeks ago. While my knee seems to be doing ok most of the time my ankle has not. I have been to my doctor and she has referred me to an orthopedest but I don't go in until Wed. My ankle feels okay when I first get up but after walking on it for a little bit throughout the day I start getting sharp shooting pains on the inside of my ankle. When I sit down is when I feel the warmth sensation over my entire foot. My foot is a bit swollen and I have continually done RICE as well as an anti inflamatory my doctor perscribed. What do you think could be wrong? I couldn't have a broken bone and be able to still walk on it right?

I was working in the bathroom taking down tiles when some bits fell on the hand holding the lump hammer. One pointy bit stabbed me and punctured the vein...actually think it's the artery...black blood and was bleeding a lot and pulsating out. Anyway, stopped the bleeding and carried on working...this was last Tuesday. The cut closed but I found yellow bruising all around the area where yesterday there was none. Is the vein bleeding under the skin? Do veins heal on their own or require surgery? Should I wait for Monday to see a doctor or go to ER now or tomorrow?

My wife fainted & hit the floor left side it seems when that happened she lost all feelings & movement from the waist down. Here it is 3 day's later she can move little at a time. What got me the DR who has these MD's said they can not find anything what went wrong or find anything just a Bulge Disc they got lost because she got feelings in her TOES but no where else from the waist down. They said they can not further help my wife. Also they never said anything about if my wife can walk again & get her feelings back. Now question will the Disc Bulge heal? What is best to do here? Will my wife walk again? Get feelings back?

I played tennis today (about 4 hours ago) , and when i served, i felt a quick jerk on my head and my neck became stiff from that time. I can move my head backward, leftward without hurting but when i move forward, and rightward, my head stiffens up, and hurts. Is this a serious injury? Should I go to the doctors for examination? thank you.
