General Health Care - December 2006

About 8 days ago I was carring a box & tripped on some shoes, I didn't fall but I kind of stretched my right leg. It hurt at first but not that bad & it felt OK later. The next day it was OK, but after about 3 days my leg started to hurt only when I tried to pull my leg forward taking a step & it felt weak. After I would be walking around for a little while it got better. Every day sence it has gotten worse. Now I can't hardley walk. When I'm sitting down it feels fine.Does anyone know what it could be? I'm trying to get in to see a Dr. but it will be a few days untill I can get in & I'm getting worried. Thank You!!

I'm a nursing student and I have to learn how to start IV's next semester. I'm pretty anxious about it. I know it's part of the job and I just have to get used it but I have trouble sticking peple. I was so nervous when I gave my first shot this past semester. Anybody have any tips or anything that could help? I'd appreciate it if only people with experience replies.

It also has white chunks in it. I'm wondering if this is normal? Also, my lover and I had a really intense sexual session last night. Could this be the cause?

I was hit pretty hard yet there wasnt much damage to my car. When I was hit I instantly felt it in my head and neck and shoulders. As the days went by the neck loosened up but now the pain has localized to my low back. Should I go to my regular doctor?? Or would a chiropractor be the one I need to see?? I need to make an appt ASAP....and would love some advice.

I've taken percocet 5/325 many times before. I know that the 5 stands for the oxycodone and the 325 stands for the acetomiphan. So can I assume that Oxycontin 10 is equal to 2 percocets? I ask because I have heard the dangers of taking oxycontin, and I do not want to risk my life taking it

I have a back injury (non-work related, 2 herniated 4 & 5L discs) and I've been putting some hot stones on my lower back to relieve the pain. But are there certain pressure points to put the stones on that would work better than just placing them on my spine where the discs are?

Also, where are the pressure points on the face for relieving migraines?

I have intense pain in my lower back that I have gone to a Chiropractor for, but it isn't helping. Lately when I do sit ups a sharp pain accures when I hit a certain angle. I need a non surgical approach because I want to go into the marine corp. Would stretching and excercise do the trick by building up my back muscles? Or is it my spine?

ok.. i took my twins to the dr yesterday for a regular check up and they pricked their fingers to take blood and they found out that one of my boys has anemia.. i was just wonder is there any one out there that can tell me some healthy foods to help him in getting his red blood cells back to normal.. and let me in own some secrets for getting him to eat foods like leafy greens.. and this is not a problem that we have had before.. and he is also just getting over a slight cold and the dr said that sometimes this can make the count go down.. so they are just keeping any eye on him to make sure that is all that it is.. and she also put him on some iron medicine..

4 months ago i got my nose pierced... And today for some reason it decided to react, My nose is incredibly swollen, to the point i cant even move the ring. The BONE even hurts to poke, and It has its own freaking heartbeat. I went the piercer and they said it was an allergic reaction to the metal and they are making me a new ring. However, they arnt sure how long its going to take. Pretty much, I dont wanna deal with this pain over a simple piercing. What would happen if i TRIED to take out the jewlerly? And just .. let it grow. Or would tha tbe a bad idea since its all swollen and junk.. Its not an infection. Its not red or ozzing anything. Its just swollen and extremly painful

While walking, there is pain in the heals (botton of the feet). The pain persisted for about 02 months.It has healed on its own, but there is a chance it may reoccur if proper precautions are not taken. I walk and exercise regularly.
