Usually when I talk to people i get a headache. My head feels like it tightens and its usually on the right side of my brain. Sometimes its on my left. Also sometimes its a sharp pain like something stabbing into the side.

Its weird. I can try to sense my brain and see how it feels and when I do this I feel the headache come on.

Has anyone ever had this before or know what it is?

Well its been about 2 weeks since I got it taken out. The doctor says I can do all the normal things except heavy lifting. I still got stitches inside and want to know what will happen to them. I also want to know if it is ok for me to do crunches and stuff that work out the abdominal muscles or if it will possibly bust the stitches open. Please Help!!

About two weeks ago, I got hit on my right cheek with a baseball, a HUGE lump grew on my face, protruding about an inch. The lump went away quickly and the next day I had some brusing and swelling on my face. About a week later, the discoloration is going away (my face is sort of yellow), the swelling has gone down and my face looks normal. HOWEVER, where that lump grew originally, I still felt the lump and it moved a bit, but doesn't really hurt. It's not really noticeable, but when I touch it, there is a bump. I don't think I fractured any bone...Well, it's been almost 2 weeks now, and the pain has subsided and the bruisy color has mostly faded. EXCEPT for this lump. The lump feels smaller...but it's really hard (like a bone) and it doesn't really hurt. Can my bone be displaced on my face? If not, is this normal for a bruise?

Also, is it possible to not to have pains while being dizzy, or drowzy?? Because, sometimes, I'm either really very dizzy or drowzy, and I feel different... I can't explain that well, but let's just say I feel drunk, I can't hear my self very well, and I get angry really easily.

He doesn't feel any pain and can hear perfectly, and there is no bothering sensation. I've looked inside with a light as far as I can see and I see nothing. What would be the worst to happen? Can he get an infection? Any appropriate suggestions or knowledgeable answer would greatly help. Thank you.

I woke up with neck pains on 2/18/07. The pain went away after a couple of days. It started up again this past Saturday. I went to see a Chiropractor yesterday, and he took some x rays. Today I went for my results, and he said my neck bone was out of line and I can have treatment at his center. He cracked my neck and back today, and now I am in a lot of pain. How long does this pain usually last? Is it normal?

Can somebody please tell me of any remedies on how I could remove my eye bags??? ugh, I just hate them and I wanna find a way on how to remove them without having to go to surgery. No, I also won't use make-up to hide it because it only dries up the skin and makes the eyebags worse. Any help??

My cuticle bled for about an hour afterwards. My nail bed is slightly purple, but the angry redness is gradually spreading on the skin around the nail. I'm having no trouble bending my finger, although it's very painful to touch. Should I see a doctor about this to make sure no further damage was done and that it heals properly, or will it heal properly on it's own?

So now my feet hurt really really bad and I have blisters about the size of a quarter on my heels. I currently have lots and lots of eucerin creme on it and socks over that. what else can I do to make my feet feel better?

A while ago, a girl at my school fainted. But it just so happened to be right before a big event at school. She has participated in something similar before, and she has joked around about how she fainted by doing it to herself. I've read about "the choking game" and I've seen people pass out by hyperventilating and holding their breath. Whatever she did, she did it in the public eye, and she did it herself. What could she have done?? This is terribly unhealthy, and I want to make sure she never does it again! I've heard of knee locking for a long time-how would that do anything?

Ok, my friend told me that you can chew Stride gum with the wrapper and then she just put it in her mouth. I watched her chew it, and she didn't spit it out......she told me to try, but I didnt have any gum. So, then my other friend said she did it and it was fine. It made the gum mintier and bluer. I just tried it and it tasted chunky (witht the paper) at first, but then it disolved and it was fine. VERY blue though. I was just wondering if this is normal. Will it cause any serious stomache pains? How will it affect me, and is it normal?

I have already had 4 jaw surgeries (2 arthroscopic and 2 open). My disks have been put in place, but I am still having a lot of pain. Don't get me wrong, the last 2 surgeries (the open ones) have been great, I no longer have migraines...but I still am having problems with eating food and headaches. I want to find a treatment that doesn't involve a lot of medications as I have done that before. Thanks for any help anyone has to offer.
