I was all set to run a marathon in November 2005. I went for a routine check up at the Docs and my ECG came back with an unusual result, so my Dr asked for an echocardiagram to find out what was up. National Health Service being what it is January 2007 I get my appointment. Been too worried to run for over 18 months and really want an answer straight away and not have to wait any longer.
Thanks for your help.

I fell on to concrete 3 days ago, after 2 sets of clear xrays I am now in a splint, and have to go back for more next week. I was told that i may have a fractured scaphoid.

I have a nagging pain in my hand/wrist, and my fingers shake if I straighten them. Does any one have any experience of scaphoid fracture - what does it feel like...?

I went snowboarding for only my second time without my insturctor with a whole lot of my guy friends on monday and they took me up to the top of a black dimond and just left me. So I was going down and i biffed it bad and landed right on my chest. It hurts to breath, and i got the hecupps so it hurts really really bad. It hurts to talk to move the slitest bit and to walk hurts too. It hurts even worse when i lay down. Even to touch near them hurts. But when i do touch them it feels......not like a rib, like it has a dip. How can I tell if I broke my ribs?

i missed a few seconds around the time of the crash, but i've got a cut & sore spot (no bump ) on the back of my head & a long scrape & bruise on the side of my face across my temple... from what i can guess the retractable cargo cover for the back of the wagon came forward & the end got me pretty good. iwas totally confused for a couple minutes, but passed a sobriety test when the cops came. i'm all sorts of bruised up & sore, especially my neck & shoulders, but i don't know if it's all from the crash or from the fact that i had to walk 10+ miles to get home afterwards. anyone got any experience with this sort of thing?

My morning workout turn disaster
when i just finished my pushups and on my last push i just gave out and fell on the ground, then I got a very SHARP pain in my right side of the head from i think a pulled muscle from my neck.
i am lucky i was able to get up but by rubbing my head for a couple mins, the pain and the numbness went away. later in the day i have a slight neck soreness and taking advil for a headache, just never felt a pain like that before especially in my head.
Just wondering if anyone has experience a sharp pain in the head from a pulled muscle around the shoulder blade or neck

I just got a call from my brother. He told me that his 2 year old daughter had opened an oxygen absorber pack, thinking it was sugar, and ate it.

He said she started sreaming, got short of breath, and stoped talking. He rushed her to the ER and then called me.

The doctors can't do much yet, it only happened about 15 minutes ago.

Oh god!! I am so worried we are going to lose her, please tell me what you think will happen.

I am ready to expect the worst, but still I can barely breath through my tears.

Jessa, her name, Is so sweet and It would wreck my brother if she left us.

Please, any news on what might happen would help us!

Thank you so very much for your concern to answer this, I just hope the little angel is going to be okay.

Well. Lately I was having headaches,they told me it was migraines I went to the E.R. and it was migraines they done a CT. Ok. Lately I had the same symptomsI had at first with floating stars,my vision was playing with me and then the numbness started from my fringertips and worked its way into my hand and disappear a little above my wrist. Than the headache. I went to the E.R. once more they said,I could be having T.I.A. but they done a CT. Nothing was found. But the doctor said,it could be one forming cuz of the symptoms I'm having its from a T.I.A. But another doctor told me I'm having Migraines. Even though nothing came up stating that I did had a T.I.A. Could I really be having Migraines and they miss diagnose me. If any one out there than went through the samething plz let me in and tell me your story.Because the doctors where I live don't have a clue. Please...

Arthritus, tendinitus, or carpal tunnel (sp)

It usually flares up after prolonged video gaming, typing, or writting. My wrist get sore and a little swollen. My hands do not go numb, but the pain sometimes shoots up into my fingers. It hurts to bend my wrist in any direction.Tensor bandages seem to help, as they keep my wrists from bending.

My 2 year old had to receive 2 stiches near his eye about 3 months ago. It seemed to be healing beautifully until today when I noticed 3 white bumps forming on his incision. Is this something to be concerned about?

I don't smoke, I haven't even tried it so I'm just curious. If you smoke does it effect your facial look or does it make your body seem any different. But I know how bad it is for you and I don't need to know stuff like it makes you cough alot and you get worn out easily. Just the way it makes you look.
Thank you
