ok well i am an active sports player, i am all the playing something. well my knee has been giving me problems for about 3 weeks now and i havent went to the doctor. well i didnt think it was that bad until the other day when i got pushed and i hit in b-ball practice and i was knocked pretty hard and i hit the floor hard. well i dont want to go to the doctor but then again i do?. the reason i dont want to go to the doctor is becuase my schools homecoming game is this coming up fri and i really dont want to miss it but if something is really hurt i want to go ahead and go so it will be better for softball season which starts the begining if march.
so the question is should i or should i not go to the doctor??
or what do you think it is that screwing up me knee???

I have my "finger" stuck in a bottle. I don't dare break the bottle and cut my "finger". My "finger" is a little swollen and hurts too. I really feel silly and don't want to call any emergency people about my "finger" problem. How do I get my "finger" out of the bottle?

I've had this aggrivating headache for the past 5 days now. My neck hurts, my eyes hurt, and the headache is in my forehead and temples. In that 5 days the headache hasn't gone away once. Its making it so I cant sleep at night because my head hurts more when I lay down!! Sometimes I can get away with laying on my side, but even then after a while that hurts too. I'm starting to get scared of what it may be. Please, someone help.

Please all you against smoking people don't say stop smoking as I have already as a not smoker got him to cut back and he has 2 friends who are going to quit with him and they go to a help group in town so thats a step in the right direction.

However his fingers are yellow and Nicotine/tar badly stained and it is gross and I am sick of nagging and saying it looks scankie as this is not really helpful so I am calling on Smokers to give some advice and methods to help out. Please

I bite my nails and actually eat them and I want to stop! I also nibble my cuticles which make my fingers really ugly. I want an inexpensive, affective and quick cure. No fake nails or finger-dipping in poop or puke etc. And I like the taste of lacquer so nail polish won't help.

Is there anyway that I can cure this. One side of my nose has been block for few years and once a while both of them are clear. I've been drinking medicine and it doesn't help at all. I wish there is a cure for this. Sigh.
