General Health Care - December 2006

I've been gradually stretching my ears for the past 2 1/2 years. I've been at 2 ga for about 4 months and went to 0 ga on Friday. I ripped my left ear and its very sore.

Does anyone know any tips or tricks to make the swelling go down?

I'm gonna be with a friend tonight and we wanted to drink... But tomorrow I'm getting a job at 'manpower' and I'm pretty sure I'll be drug tested, does alcohol show up? It's just one of those simple "pee in the cup and if it turns the wrong color you don't get the job" ones... And if it does anyway to beat it besides just not drinking?

I'm told that injecting chicken comb oil into my knee will work. Any suggestions? This was due to a horrible injury- everything is good now except this.

What causes pain, the type that isn't related to a disease or condition but just the zap of pain you can feel in your head or body. Like when you cough and you feel a pain in your hand or you get a throb of pain in your head but it doesn't turn into a full headache. Everyone gets them, what causes these pains that just zap and go?

For the past 5 days or so I have been feeling slightly light-headed and my balance is not what it normally is; not in a dangerous way, but something just feels off. It all feels like it is in the base of my skull with some slight neck tension; my neck has felt a little strained as well. Has anyone experienced this?

Last night, I dropped a trash can on my big toe right at the base of the nail. Wow! It really hurt! I put ice on it - helped a little. I couldn't sleep last night because it was throbbing and hurt so much. I took Ibuprofen, but that only helped a little. The nail is dark purple, but there is no external blood. It feels like it's under pressure. Is it necessary to go to the doctor? I doubt it's broken. Besides, there's nothing a doc can do about a broken toe. What can I do to make it feel better?
