How long do I have to wait before I can run again? I don't want to twist it again, but it's still tender when I put pressure on it or cross my legs, and I don't want to hurt it worse. And... what exercises can I do without hurting my ankle too much?

agony everytime I walk or sit down. I cant even sleep on my back because my bum hurts so much and if I roll over I wake myself because of the pain. I can feel a lump of sorts when I am in the bath, what could this be ? I dont want to spend Christmas day lying on my belly.

I know that garlic oil is good for the health. But will it still affect my breath even if i take it in capsule form which would be much easier for me since i really hate garlic?

People who've tried takin 'em, err.. what happens when you burp?ü

Christmas is almost upon us and to combat the excess of the period, Ive bought some milk thistle tablets. I know that they are very good at helping the liver to deal with alcohol, but Im unsure when to take the tablets. In other words, should I start taking them days before I go out to build up a resistance, or should I take them on the day or night that Im planning to have a few drinks?

Why is pot so bad these days? I don't get it. My parents and other family members have told me that they would rather me smoke weed than smoke ciggs. I don't see the big deal everyone is makin about it. It only mellows me out. I don't go on violent rampages or kill people. Maybe it just depends on the person. Also all my family members call me an old soul just because I perfer classic rock to rap or all that junk. My stepdad can't get over the fact that my favorite band is Pink Floyd. Yes, I am an American. I live in south.

All day yesterday I had an eyelash in my eye. I get home, find out that it is in the far corner on my eye, not on the other corner where you find sleep and all that other junk. I try to get it out, but no luck. I use eyedrops but nothing happens. I submerge my eye in water, nothing happens. I try getting it out with my finger, and nothing happens. My eye is swollen as I speak and is extremely red (almost purple) and i do not know why. Was it because I was messing with my eye! I need help, I am very worried.

Okay, so I just got out of the shower, and I shaved my legs. Shaving is not new to me in any way. So I just got a few small cuts. Just as big as a few pen points. But the cuts won't stop bleeding! I keep soaking up the blood with a wet paper towel, but the blood just keeps coming out! I don't have any band-aids at home. So, how can I stop it from keep on bleeding?

I am on my second attempt. Smoked for 14 years. Today is my first day without a cigarrette. I woke up and slapped a patch on after my shower and have been chewing gum all morning. Can anyone give me advice on how to deal with the cravings or any other advice?

Yesterday, a friend was at my house and she accidently scratched my middle finger with her nail. It started bleeding, but I just bandaged it up. After she left, I properly cleaned the cut and put triple antibiodic cream on it and went to bed. When I woke up, the edges of the small cut had turned pinkish red, and the center of it had turned dark red. I just put more triple antibiodic cream on, what is a good way to make it go away? It doesn't hurt, just looks ugly.

For the last few days I’ve felt a “fullness” in my ears and some general popping here and there. I don’t sense any liquid or object in either of them, but the sensation is in both ears but sometimes is more prevalent in my right. I would also say that the popping aspect is really minimal... mainly just a “full” “dull” feeling.

This morning I woke up rather relieved, it seemed gone. Then I stood up and there it was again!

Other than this I’m feeling generally fine. Any ideas on what this could be or what I can do?

I intend to see a doctor to rule out heart, blood, or thyroid diseases, so don't sweat me about it. I think it's a combination of anxiety and just being out of shape.

I've learned how to slow my breathing and relax my muscles so I don't get full fledged panic attacks and rapid palpitations, but I am plagued with a sense of impending doom and I can feel my heart beating as if I did something strenuous. This happens when I try to relax, but not ever triggered by exertion. This has been going on for about 2 years now. Does anyone have the same thing when trying to relax?

I've heard it's a condition called hematoma caused by improper blood insertion and that such an insertion can also cause permanent nerve damage. Is that true?
Should I notify my physician and when?

I felt a popping sensation as it happened. It hurts when i push down on the exact spot of skin, there is little bruising. I can bend my knee but cannot extend it outwards on its own without pain in that area. I want to know is this a Mild, Moderate or Severe pull/tear, because this has never happened to me before. Any USEFUL advice on recovery will be helpful.
