General Health Care - December 2006

Ok, so i can't get into the doctors until after Christmas. I injured it last Friday whilst jogging. I think i must of jolted it or something, as i was running it started to hurt on the left hand side just below my hip. I'm not getting numbness or shooting pains in my legs and it's not my spine, just an ache when i walk. I can bend and strecth fine, it's just when i walk or sit in a chair it aches..any advise, is it serious? How long do bad backs take to heal? I'm a 25 male. Thank you all...

My dominant arm had a surgery similar to a cubital tunnel operation due to my ulnar nerve failing as a teenager. This was 6 years ago, since then I have been in pain. Within the past few months it has gotten worse. Its like severe pain, It prevents me from sleeping at times and generally makes me miserable when it flares up.

The pain starts at around my elbow, it feels like inside my elbow then radiates down my arm like in a stabbing wave of pain. It makes my hand lock and that hurts as well. And sometimes it just goes numb.

Ive been taking tylenol, ibuprofen, alieve, and OTC medications in large quantities to try to control it. i tried adding heat, cold , warm water, massaging it or anything I've read about to try to deal with it.

I'm not a huge fan of Docs so I've been avoiding it but it's getting annoying that it is affecting my quality of life. Ive had sleepless nights spent watching crappy TV while I try to get over it.

Any ideas?

I have a burning pain on the inside of my left ankle. I haven't injured it, and the pain came on very suddenly. It's almost right on the inside bone of the ankle, what can this be?

I was doing hills today, and at the very end of my workout, being as tired as I was, I tripped and fell going down a rocky slope and bounced down landing on my leg, and twisting my ankle. It hurt like hell for a few minutes and then subsided into a dull/sharp (somehow both) pain. It hurts to take a step on either of my ankles and I have to drag my left leg practically. Normally I wouldn't be so concerned, its just the track season is coming up and I have been training unbelievably hard -it would be my luck that I'd get a small fracture or something and find out by breaking my foot in the first race of the season. Anything I can do to help heal it, and what should I be looking for.

I was really hung over and woke up earlier than I probably should have, to get some breakfast. Then all of a sudden I got really warm and everything around me started to fade to white around the edges. Next I was on the floor and my friend told me I was out with my eyes open for 30 seconds. What the hell happened to me, is that fainting, passing out, blood loss to the head?

I will tell you how this happened so maybe you can tell me what is wrong.

I was riding my skateboard and I had to bail out quick, so i tried to run it off, but couldnt so I had to jump down this hill.
I jumped and made it far down the hill, but when I landed, i was sliding, and my left leg went out in front of me and then my knee locked and my leg was stiff. My heel hit a sprinkler and my knee went back and I fell head over heels. I knew something was wrong, but I can sort of limp walk so I figured it was fine, but when I got home it got way worse. After examining my leg I have found out that the muscle running up the outer side/back of my leg was stiff towards the top and is contracted and will not release, so my leg is very tight there and appears swollen. Some people have told me that they think I hyperextended it but I am not sure.

Please help me I am in track and need to be running soon!

Ok well I went to the doctor that lives across the street, he's an anestiologist (sp?) and we just went to his hosue so we wouldnt have to pay like 200 dollars to get a peice of kleenex removed. First he flushed it like 15 times with peroxide ane ethyl alcohol. Then he decided he would have to pull it out, so he used a hair pin (didnt have anything else) but before that he put a local anesthetic in my ear so i wouldnt feel it. Well as he was pulling it, I still felt the pin and kinda moved fast and I felt it hit somewhere in my ear, but it wasnt loud or didnt hurt, so it probably wasnt the ear drum.

Well he said he got it all out, theres just a VERY tiny peice left next to my ear drum and he said it will come out by itself. Its been 2 days now and I can hear but not as good as I did before. Plus, I have constant ringing (not loud) and my ear just feels "full" like it does when you're on an airplane. Whats going on? Will I regain my hearing fully?

Hi,

I know this is bad but i dont know where else to turn...

I have depression and am a self-mutilator. I recently cut myself really deep, pastt he fatty tissue but not any veins, and i tried to close it up by using butterfly strips to hold the wound closed together while bandaged. However, after two days i removed the bandage to let it 'breath' and noticed that one side of the incision is tucked under the wound which means the cut is not healing the way it should..the fatty tissue is sticking out and i can't push it down/in and pull the cut together over the fatty tissue. What will happen to the fatty tissue or better yet to my wrist? I do not want to see a doctor for fear that they might report me as being suicidal although I wasnt trying to kill myself. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'm 24 and have had back pain since I was probably about 13 or 14. It varies in severity and location, but is usually in my lower to mid back and is just a constant ache. Other times I'll get an acute shot of pain, usually on a side of the lower back. What's the best remedy - chiropractor, acupuncture, exercises, etc? Any ideas are welcome! Thank you!

Help me out here. Is tar naturally occuring in tobacco, or is it something manufactured? If it's natural, why can't there be a way to remove it from the tobacco so the cigarettes will be safer?
