General Health Care - March 2007

I had a car accident about a year ago that gave me pretty severe whiplash. And I still occasionally suffer from the symptoms I innitally felt after the accident. Some days have very mild symptoms, other days prevent me form even getting out of bed. None of my doctors told me any long term side effects. I am not on medication for it. Is this common? Should I get it checked out?

About a year and a half ago, I was visiting a friend in downtown Cleveland. I fell on the sidewalk and really hurt my left knee. It was swelled for about two weeks and hasn't been the same since. I should have gone to the doctor but I was unemployeed and broke and no medical coverage of any kind. I've just kind of dealt with it. It's stiff and it hurts to kneel down. (I'm an altar server at my church so when I have to kneel for a few minutes, thats when I really feel it)
Recently, it's been bothering me more than usual. There are times when it kills every time I put weight on that leg. And, I have to stand a lot for my current job. I'll get medical next month when I've been there for a year but I don't know if I can wait that long. What should I do? And until I go to the doctor, how can I ease the pain a little so I can get through a day without wanting to cry.

About three weeks ago I pulled a muscle on theleft side of my neck by jerking it funny when I got out of bed in the morning. The pain was abolutely horrible, but after three days, it was significantly better, and after a full week, I have almost full mobility in my neck again.

However, I'm noticing now that there's a light pain in the right side of my neck, a little toward the back of my neck when I stretch and rotate my head in circles (doctor-recommended). I'm wondering if maybe it's caused by the fact that for a good week, I barely moved my neck at all, and it's just stiff (that's kind of what it feels like)? It's definitely in one spot and hurts the most when I tilt my head back, clockwise, coming from the right side.

Any advice is welcomed, as long as you're serious. Thanks :)

I'm so sleepy and just plain tired. I don't have to pick my son up from school until 3 and it's 11:22 now. I am getting my living room, dining room, and kitchen cleaned out because I will be painting them tomorrow. I just want to sleep because I'll probably start priming tonight. Why do I feel like I need permission to take a nap?

Somthing bit me 2 days ago and my arm got inflamed and lumped up. The lump is is going down because I took benadryl it's still hot to the touch. Now I have a wierd sort of rash going up my arm and it hurts. I always thought that blood poisoning ran the veins what do you think it could be ? I hate to go to the doctor for nothing.

And while it got better after a week, there are times when it hurts just as bad now, whenever I lean down to get something from the bottom cupboard and takes another week for the pain to stop. Just wondering if it is anything more than just a sprain or if there is any muscle strain or other problem that could mean I have to see a doctor about?
