I hurt this knee years ago and it has re-occuring problems...like when I jog on it it will get swollen if I do not wear a knee brace. Anyway, I tripped yesterday and fell on the same knee. Today it is bruised and a little swollen, not bad. I want to treat it...I have heard ice pack first and then warm compress afterwards...is that the answer? Just curious.

sunday evenings and monday mornings are probably the worst times of the week. thinking about the whole long working week that's ahead, it makes us feel down. what can we possibly do at these times to cheer up a little bit. iam sure most of you feel that as well.

Yesterday i sneezed at my desk and my neck gave an almighty click and hurt on one side whenever i moved that way. Today i was leaning towards the computer and my neck gave a loud click again and for one horrible moment i just imagine me breaking my own neck and slamming my face down on the keyboard while my colleagues typed on! It felt like someone was pulling my neck and it was about to come off and half my face and neck felt tingly afterwards...
What the heck is this? I am not being a drama queen but i want to know if it's worth going to the Doctors as it feels better now but i don't want it to happen again.

You feel no pain at all, even with a broken bone. You don't know you have to go to the restroom, or that your fingers are freezing in the outside cold. On the upside, no pregancy or labor pains.

I am currently 18 years old, and I am prescribed 80mg Oxycontin tablets. I am to take 1 at 12 am, and 1 at 12pm, this is 160mgs of Oxycodone daily, an extremely LARGE dosage. I take them for a powdered wrist, which resulted from a machinery incident, which means all the bone in my wrist was completely turned to powder. I don't want to take all this medicine, but as you're all probrably aware the pain will make me literally blackout if I don't take medication, and even ON medication it's barely tolerable. Please help!?!

Well, my mum saw on my back today that I have this red mark (about two cm long) that isnt normally there.

I'm wondering because two days ago I went sailing with a few mates and because of recent storms we had bluebottles where we were. Five of my friends were stung.

I'm wondering if this could be a blue bottle sting? Would you able to feel it on your back?

If it's not, do you have any more suggestions on what else it might be?

With the shortage of hospital beds they have started doing overflow patients into the hallways of the floors until a room becomes open, sometimes for over 24 hours. How is this working out for anybody?
