General Health Care - December 2006

I had surgery on my nose and my doctor made a slit from ear to ear to perform the surgery. I just had the staples removed and the front of my head feals like rocks and water between carpet and a wood floor. Do you think it can be blood left over from the surgery?

I'm not sure if it really matters.. but which contact lens solution is better?

- Complete Moisture Plus
- Opti-free

My sister & I both wear contact lenses. However, my eye doctor started me out on a different solution from my sister's. It would just be much more convenient to buy the same solution brand.

I have and it's so embarrassing, especially when you're walking by yourself, instead of side by side with someone, that you could get away, with trying to blame it on, lol.

Ive been taking tylenol #3s for the last couple of weeks (getting wisdom teeth removed Jan 5th) and I haven't felt like this until today. My chest and neck are especially itchy, and I haven't been around anything that would cause an allergic reaction....just wondering if anyone knew if the T3's had anything to do with it?

My 13year old has a lot of problems with his archilles heal. Could wearing flat or "skater shoes" be the reason for tenderness in this area?

I'm more or less at my wits end. Every doctor I go to tells me that the xrays and MRI are showing nothing wrong with me and that I need to exercise.

I'm 22 years old, I shouldn't be having chronic back pain that has no apparent cause. And at very least if it were a muscle strain I'd figure that 8 months would have been plenty of time for it to heal. I'm not in that bad of shape, I walk 2 or 3 miles a day.

I have more or less written off medication as a simple mask of the problem. The problem to me isn't the pain, it's whatever is causing the pain. In a way I'd rather deal with the pain until the real problem is identified and gotten rid of so it can serve as a reminder. I'm not sure my exercising is helping any and for some reason my doctors seem to think I'm making it up or they just want to perscribe me more pain killers.

Is there anything else I can do on my own to combat back pain?

I've tried rest, Ive tried icing, heat, stretching daily, but it still remains. I now have resolved to two 600 milligram tabs of Ibuprofen 3 times a day just to go without the discomfort.

I think my three year old broke her nose. She hit it on a dresser? And it bled for a little while and swelled up. But it is the day after and it is really swollen and bruised from her eye to her nose. Family have been telling me that their is nothing that the Dr. can do. But I am really concerned. Could you please tell me what to do ? Any Dr. out there or nurse that can give me a right answer???
She is not in pain.... that I can tell and she can wipe it and all without crying in pain.
