Is it safe to chew Codeine Tablets that have a 3 on one side and a 93/150 on the other side, then swallow them for pain relief?

Okay. Lately I can't get comfortable when I go to sleep. Not at all. This isn't a minor irritation, it is extreme discomfort. It is keeping me awake for hours. I swear I have tried everything.
And nothing has changed about my bed etc...
So what could all of the sudden cause such extreme comfort?

It is on the side of the outside of your foot just below your ankle bone, and it is like a small bump.
I know it is dumb but does anyone know what it is called?

I was showering today with my contact lense and when i rubbed my right eye it just went sumwhere. idk if its still in my eye. usually i cant tell if it falls outta my eye. i tried looking and trying to push the contact out if its still in my eye but i cant even feel it.
how far can a contact lense go from the center radius ??
i mean it cant go further than the edge of the eye lid right ?
should i put another contact lense in my right eye and maybe the other will push out ?

i tried putting visein in my eye to make it wet alittle

I'm 16, been wearing glasses since i was nine or ten. i've lost them before, and once i went without them for a whole year. my vision worsened a little bit, and i got glasses again, around last December. i've been pretty careful with them since, and about three or four days ago, i lost 'em. the only places that they could be are at my school, maybe left on the city bus, but they're probably left somewhere in my apartment.

however, i think that the buses and school can be ruled out as locations for my lost glasses, because i remember coming home that day with my glasses on my face. and one of either two things happened that afternoon, i think i took them off in my room so i could take a nap. but i also have a memory of taking them off, and placing them by my computer, so i could rub my face.

More then likely they're in the apartment, and i've looked everywhere, literally. does anyone have any helpful tips on how i could find them?

the ulnar styloid process of my right wrist has a hairline fracture on it. If you don't know what that is, you go straight down your pinky until you reach the bump thing on your wrist. well that thing can't receive any kind of surgery. i work out a lot, and most exercises i do require support from the wrists. i cannot continue to support with this wrist, as it is just too painful. i don't want to give up working out. is there anything i can do?

I ran out of Lortab and need a little more...few weeks. Do you think doctors get free samples of that? I don't want to ask my aunt that works in a doctors office and feel stupid when I ask. My aunt gets muscle relax. from her all the time.

I had a soccer game last sunday and was kicked numerous times in the shin (right through the shin guard) and it left a bruise the size of a softball. It swelled up quite a bit so I iced it and took some Ibuprofen to get it down. It has gone down quite a bit over the past week and some of the color has faded but I really would like it to fade a lot more because I'm going to Florida on Tuesday and would like to wear shorts without people asking me what happened and ewww.

Have you or anybody else you know ever been stung by a bee or wasp before? I was at the beach laying out and a huge wasp landed on my lower abdomen. Before I could shoo it away, it dug it's bloody stinger into my abdomen and I was howling in pain the whole day! What did you do about yours?

I have had cheekbone swelling on only one side for about a few weeks. Sometimes when I wake up in the morning it puffs from under the eye starting at the nose and extends across the cheekbone. The under eye puffiness subsides, but the cheekbone puffiness stays. This was a sudden onset. The day before I remember rubbing my cheekbone softly and I felt some slight discomfort, but it was noticable. The next morning I had the puffiness. Sometimes in the morning the under eye is puffy and sometimes it's not, but the cheek bone puffiness is always there.

So I woke up this morning, watched a little tv and went to get ready. I brushed my teeth, got dressed, put on some makeup, etc. Then I washed my hands for a while, took out my contacts, cleaned them with the lens solution, and put them in my eye. My started turning really red and it HURT! I couldn't open them. I had to hold my eyelid open with my hand and take the contacts out with my other hand. Did I do anything wrong? If I didn't specify, what might I be doing wrong? I really don't want to wear my glasses today...

My 32 year old sister was diagnosed with this a few months back. She had passed out and was taken to the hospital, they originally kept scanning her brain because she has epilepsy which hasn't affected her in a few years. Well then her body stiffened up and she wasn't able to really even get out of bed for a few weeks, her joints were all swallon and they were not able to give her an accurate diagnosis because they have to do that while the joints are flared up. Anyway, I know of some web sites and stuff to look up, but what I am wondering is if anyone personally is/was this young when diagnosed and how bad did it get. They say that since they caught when she was young that her joints may not get deformed like an elderly persons would.
comments, answers?!?!?!?

Lately [for the past week or so] my left foot has been hurting to walk or put pressure on, and is quite painful especially after high intensity swimming. I've done some research and the symptoms match up directly with mine. My 2nd, 3rd, and 4th metatarsals are the most painful, and I'm leaving for Washington D.C. in 2 days. I haven't been to the doctor but I'd like to know whats going on before I have to do a lot of walking. Real medical advice appreciated.

I was walking down the front steps(dreaming), I slipped and hit the floor with my back. (thankfully, I didn't hit the steps)

My right arm took most of the impact. The wrist hurts a little bit, but thats not a big thing, it will go away. BUT the back of my right elbow looks like it has a large tennis ball attached to it. and it hurts bad.

I am not able to stretch my arm more than 150Degrees (people can, upto 180 degrees) or below 40 degrees. My right palm cant touch the right shoulder. Every time I move it closer to the shoulder, it gives me a terrible streak of pain from the tip of my fingers to the neck. Can't write or type properly, how do you get rid of the pain and swelling?

I can pick up things but not more than 3 books.

I can't fully extend my right arm since getting a blood test performed by an insurance company nurse. It's been a week and if I forget and raise my arm I get a burning pulling sensation. Will this feeling ever go away? It is hindering my normal everday lifestyle. Pain starts in the area of the needle puncture and shoots down my arm when I outstretch my arm when reaching for something. I now have to baby this arm. I am wondering if some permanent damage was done.
