I recently was stung on my toes by red ants. I have washed the infected area, put peroxide on it, and also put anti-itch cream on my foot. All of this isn't helping very well and was wondering if there was something else you could recommend?

Just wondering, as I JUST found a great family doc, that has a great degree, assistant Professor of Medicine, and treats me as a person, not a number. He is really interested in me! He is taking care of me, as with Pain Management (I also see a Pain Management Specialist) as he just adds some things as they do work together in the same group, and he also is starting to help me with Psychiatrist, as my old ones thing I am a drug addict, as I take pain meds for severe, Chronic pain, in my lower back and nerve damage in my left leg. MY Family Doc, understands me, believes me, and knows my pain specialists, and knows he is one of the best and that they do count all your medications when you come to visit (which is a plus!) and they also check your pee for any other drugs (that helps me out, as only thing they will find is the meds they give me! LOL!) So, I do love my NEW Family Doc and Pain Specialists, and glad they know each other as with them working together can only benefit ME!

It doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes when I try to open my mouth it kinda locks up so I can't open all the way. When I lay down it completely locks up. When it first started it hurt but now it doesn't. What's wrong?

Two quick jabs in between the breastbone and left chest.
I've had some piercing feeling in the upper right part of my chest some time ago too.
Only 22 years old
Pretty fit I guess up until a few months ago when I had to stop weight training, now I gained a serious amount of weight but meh... Now I can't get off this chair coz I'm in front of the PC all the time
I'm not too sure if it was a heart attack as I didn't any abnormalities on my left side (hand tingles etc)

What could this be?

I was wondering if the "blood brother/sister" thing can cause health complications; besides HIV, is there a medical reason not to do that? ( I am advising young children, and I could not find a real answer).

I like some certain of pain. I'm 14, by the way. Lately, i carved my skin using a knife, and I feel pain (of course), and I enjoy it. Also, my left pinky, doesnt have a nail. This is because I took it out, because I wanted to feel it. I feel relief having the pain, and relief after the pain. Sure, the pain is quite unbearable, but I enjoy it. Like putting the hot wax of a candle at my thigh, arm, and fingers. I know I should stop, and I'm trying. But it doesnt really go that well. I want to know why do i like pain, and how can I stop liking it. Please tell me.

I've tried EVERYTHING. Nothing helps. Not water (I drink MORE than eight glasses a day sometimes), not eating prunes, not fiber (every day, yet again), not laxatives, not softeners, not vegetables, nor fruits. I went to the emergency room yesterday because the pain in my abdomen was so bad, and after five hours of waiting and apparently useless tests, they sent me home with a laxative. Again.

I don't know what to do, and I can't stop crying because it hurts so much. I haven't gone to the bathroom in a week. Someone help.

Yesterday, around 12:30, my little brother got bit by a poisonous spider, and he is only 9 years old. He was rushed to the hospital immediately after he got bit. The doctors gave him Benadryl through a needle. Before and after we got to the hospital, he put his arm underneath an ice bag to relieve the pain. When he got home, he was screaming in agony due to painful burning and cramps. It is uncertain on which kind of spider bit him. My dad wanted him to help him with yard work, so my brother put on gloves. The spider bit him on the hand in the glove. My dad looked through the gloves and found egg sacks and the parent spiders. My mom gave him Clariton, Tongue dissolver's and Asprin. No, she did not give him all of the medicine at once. How long will the burning and cramping take effect?

In January I had stomach problems with pain and cramping which the doctors thought was a virus so i haven't had the pains bad in a few weeks but now over the last two or more weeks i have terrible neck pain and stiffness. The pain is also in my lower back. In addidtion to this pain i am lightheaded. I also get headaches which can get worse accross the back of my head and temples sometimes. Went to doctor (neurologist) and he said to get pshyical therapy...doesn't really fix the problem i'm having does it...so any ideas of what the cause of my problm is?
