My best friend died when i was 15. I then became really close to his brother, and i've never loved anyone as much as i loved him (as a friend). He died in September. I have a habit of just carrying on as normal so that's what i've done. I think about both of them all the time, but i don't let myself cry over them, or let anyone else know how i'm feeling. Another friend keeps telling me i need to let my feelings out and says he's always there for me if i need to talk. He thinks that talking will make me feel better. I always deal with things on my own - that's just my way, i don't like to involve anyone else in my problems. But i'm worried about how this may effect me in the longrun - especially as a few times recently i've seriously started to think i was going mad. Does anyone know about these things? Could i be damaging my health (mental or physical) by bottling up my feelings and putting a brave face on it for so long? Also does anyone have any advice on dealing with my feelings?

i have alot of pain in my chest left side. it hurts realy badly and has almost knocked me over a few times. it is near my lung area however i am not having any trouble breathing nor do i smoke or do any type of drugs. i am not confident as to why i can barely touch my skin to be in alot of pain. it feels as if i am being stabbed by a very sharp knife. an educated person please tell me what i should consider doing (goin to a alergist, going to a family doctor) as well as this if anyone has an idea at what i may be dealing with please send me that as well thank you

I fell on the front of my body, i got couple scrapes here and there, but i realized once i got inside my house i tried sucking my stomach in and my stomach would shake like a seizure. Then after couple hours it was okay, but then when i would blow my nose or sneeze cuz i have a cold, my sides and inner sides would feel sore or have pain either one of those two. Because pain is hurting alot, sore is just from too much working out or what not so please can you tell me if i'm going to be alright? that its just because i took a hard fall on asphalt that my stomach is swollen?? please do tell! thanks

The day before yesterday I slit my wrist. The edges have healed slightly and ive been cleaning it with peroxide and Neosporin..and i've been keeping it covered with a large band-aid so it doesn't get infected..but the edges haven't come together yet...How long should it take before it heals enough to wear it without a bandage? Going to doctor and getting stitches is out of the picture. They will send me back to the looney bin.

Two and a half weeks ago I injured my ring finger on my right hand . I'm able to bend my finger so that it makes a 90 degrees angle, but unable to bend it any further than that. In other words, I'm unable to to make a clenched fist. I'm not sure if my finger is broken, but it hasn't healed in two and a half weeks so I'm ruling out a jammed finger or even a sprained finger. Most likely its fractured/dislocated/broken. I've read other questions like this and it seems that the best a doctor can provide is an xray and after that a splint, which of course I can do at home.

My question is: if you've broken your finger and DIDN'T go to a doctor, and put it in a home-made splint (taping two fingers or buying one at a local pharmacy) did it heal and how long? Or, if you have broken a finger, and DID go to the doctor, did the doctor provide you with help that you could have just done at home, or was it a waste of time and money? Thanks all!!!

I didn't quite have a mouthful, but I wasn't even thinking and I swallowed it. I've got a real bad stomach ache now, kind of cramping feeling. The bottle said "FMC GARGLE - DO NOT SWALLOW."

I'm such a dork. Should I just go to bed and wait for it to wear off?

My boyfriend has NEVER slept in a bed with anyone else for an extended period of time before me and he is now in his 30’s. He hasn’t been able to sleep at all when I am next to him.
We have been trying for many months but he is now sleep deprived. He sleeps the entire night when I am not in bed with him. He does not drink coffee or anything. He sleeps fine when I am not there and has never had issues sleeping. I think its just that another person is next to him. I do wake up a couple times a night to go to the bathroom and he wakes up every time. Then he is not able to fall asleep again.
Did you ever experience this? If so how did you solve it?
Thank you

My axillary(underarm) and cervical(side of neck) lymph nodes are swollen on just the left side they are really sore and tender. It hurts to move my arm around and rotate it. I'm not feeling really bad. I have somewhat of a stuffy nose but no sore throat or anything else....This is been hurting since this morning. Any reasons why they would swell like that and only on the one side?

I have commenced an unsuccessful New Year's fitness campaign. I was doing some sit ups the other night and pulled muscle in my lower back. After a trip to the hospital the doc gave me muscle relaxants, anti imflamatories and heavy duty pain killers. I am seeing a physio but also looking for some natural healing advice as all these drugs may be helping with the pain, but I would rather try something else. Any ideas would be great!!

What happens is that when I'm laying next to my girlfriend and I'm laying on my elbow on the couch at like a 90 degree angle. And then all of a sudden, pain shoots up my arm and my elbow locks. It really *ucking hurts. Then I know that I have to bend it to get it undone and when I do, it just goes "CRACK" or it sounds like knuckles cracking except for its a deeper crack and it's like 20 times louder.

Yeah, maybe I should see a doctor or something. Help Please!

Why is it that when you have a stuffy nose it's stuffy? What makes it congested and feel like it's closed on one side? There's nothing in there when you look but no air will go through it...it's one of life's many mysteries that I can't quite understand...any thoughts?

I cant even climb the stairs, and they are numb in spots and then its fine, but the aching is constant for 3 days now. Sort of like when your over tired, and you don't move well, times ten! Any help is appreciated. Keep in mind I am in generally good health and am barely 30.

The doc said to ice it, but ice seems to bring on a spazz & cramp. Is that supposed to happen? Trying not to go crazy with ibuprophen because it aggravates the reflux. Experience only please, no copy/paste and ABSOLUTELY no Wiki
