My husband smashed his thumbnail at work a while ago with a hammer. His nail turned black and it still is. Now when he moves the cuticle he can see a little bit underneath it and it looks kinda weird. He's worried that his nail will fall off. Just part of the nail is black though. The upper right area of the nail is normal.
Does someone know what will happen with it? I'm so sorry for him cuz he's so worried. And if it comes off, will it grow back? I really doesn't look nice cuz he hit it real bad.
Thanx for help! :o)

I have a pain every now and then on my right side between my rib cage and top of my hip and to the right of my belly button! It hurts when I breathe in or sometimes if I move to quickly. The deeper I breathe the more it hurts - kinda like a stabbing pain! Is it anything to be concerned about?

Ok, I know I'll regret this, but I need to ask about something.

Lately, whenever I go to the bathroom(defecate, nor urinate), I feel this extreme pain in a certain area. It started about yesterday, and almost always there is blood as well. I just want to know how serious this, or why.
Please no jokes.

Hello, I have been having trouble with my back for 3 years. It started because of heavy sitting and traveling. Initially I had lower back pain. I took chiropractic and physical therapy about 1 and half year back. Then the lower back pain reduced. But suddenly it started in the upper back very severely. Don't what happened. That chiropractor used to press in my upper back. I was thinking that might be the reason. But what ever the reason it may be, all of sudden my upper back became very stiff and started paining. It also spread to legs. When I am sitting, the muscles around the knee pain a lot. Sometimes I get headache when I am sitting a lot. Someone please suggest me which treatment, specialist should I see. Thanks in advance.

Only after going to bed, waking with muscle spasms during the night. After hot shower in morning just fine until I go back to bed in the evening. Changing the softness or hardness of bed seems to be of no help. I am not sleeping good and I am 2 mos. away from health insurance and scared to go to a doctor because of what they might find (this now being a pre-existing condition. I am a 30 yr old female and 30 lbs. overweight.

My friend takes two Excedine every morning. She says she will get a headache if she doesn't take them. Since they're over the counter they're safe? I told her to see her doctor. What do you think?

I work retail, some creepy old guy with long fingernails cut me (and actually drew a little blood) when I was giving him his change.

I washed it immediately with hand cleaner, stung like crazy and it's still a little tender.

I don't know if I pulled a tendon or what, all along the bicep area and into the attachment of the elbow when doing plank push ups (high to low chaturangas) during yoga. It's been about 4 months and I still can't do this move/pose without experiencing intense pain in that area when I try to put my weight on my injured arm and get down to that right angle position - so I just don't do that pose at all- there is no strength and my arm just gives out. Hopefully that makes sense?

Shouldn't it be healed by now? I heard it takes about 6 months to heal a pulled tendon, is that true? And what can I do to help the healing process?

I have a pressure pain, sort of like a headache almost above my right eye. I've been having blurry visions and my eye is now a bit swollen. I already had a cat scan but came out negative. What can it be? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

I have a lump near the top of my, forgive me, a-s crack. Its been there for a few days and it has been causing pain. Whenever i sit, lay on my back or bend over it will hurt. It feels like it could be bruised or something along those lines. What should i do? Does it sound serious enough to go to the doctor?
