My ear was pierced on friday. But on saturday i told my oldest sister that it was in to tight so as she proceeded to loosen it the whole earring came out.(keep in mind this is the second day) so it took us about twenty minutes to put is back in. Then my ear began to swell, bleeding and become extra sensitive. So what should I do?

I have chronic foot pain that seems to move around on my foot. One day the pain may be on top, the next day the pain is on the side, etc. I have tried insoles, new shoes, ointments, but othing seems to help. I know losing weight will help, but what can I do to get rid of the pain? I can barely walk sometimes, let alone stand for any period of time. All suggestions are welcome. HELP!!!

My little sister has just burnt her arm on the stove! She's 5 years old; she tried to climb up on the stove right after I had finished cooking and her left arm looks badly burned.

I've wrapped a cool cloth around the burnt arm and I'm giving her a lot of water to drink. I'm not able to get her to the doctor until my parents get home late tonight. What else can I do for her?

People always say it's bad, but they never actually give a good reason.

Maybe, it's good for your eyes once in awhile. Why not? Sounds good.

this happens when i get up from bed. when i am asleep and get up to go the bathroom in the middle of the night or rise up in the morning my entire body aches. the aches will come on anytime i've been lying still for at least 15 minutes. the longer i lay the worse the aches so of course by morning i am dying and it takes a bit before the aches go away. this is a new thing for me - it started maybe almost a year ago now but at the rate i'm going i feel that in a few years my kids may have to help me out of bed. can anyone tell me what the hell is going on???

I woke up with my ear hurting, and I figure I'll just take some medicine for now and if it doesn't get better I'll go see my M.D.

What over-the-counter medicines work best for an ear ache?

I am in sever chronic pain. I can not take anti-inflamitories / /NSAIDS for other medical reasons. I have tried vicodin, tylenol #3 and Darvoset. The first two do nothing, the Darvoset at its highest does just barely helps, but not enough. I am getting bounced around with refferals within my insurance plan and everyone I see says they can not treat the kind of pain I have, that I need a pain clinic. I went there and they said they will only do injections into the joints and that is all they do, so prescriptions or pain management. I feel like I am stuck. I have called all the dr's office, been to the urgent care and the pain dr, called my medical group and called my insurance - everyon tells me to talk to someone else!!!!!!!!! I am in so much pain and frustration. So, I was wondering if anyone knows anything else that might help me. The pain is from osteoarthritis in my hips.

Sensations that I have would be tingling, slight numbness at times, and achey pain from my left shoulder down to my hand. Would these be sypmtoms of a pinched nerve?

I have a huge bump on the back of my heal about the size of an almond which prevents me from wearing any closed back shoes. Does anyone have any experience with this as my doctor seems to be at a lost.

Just got MRI results back. Family Doc says I have a bulging disk between C5-C6. Went to pain management yesterday and that Doc said it is pressing on the nerves affecting my left arm. I refused steroids shots b/c I am not in severe pain or debilitated. I am being sent to physical therapy which is fine with me as I need to learn how to do things so it does not get worse. Anyhow, what is the difference between buldging disks and herniated disks? I thought they were the same but I think I am mistaken. Also, any advice?

Hi, I have no insurance but would like to get my hormone levels tested and some other blood work. Since it costs so much to just see the dr. (like $100), and I'm a fixed income that just misses the cut off for my state help, can I get lab work done without a dr's orders anywhere to avoid the dr. visit charges? Or any suggestions you might have to help in my scenario ?

I fall asleep at my boyfriend's house every night for 2-3 hours. When I wake up I go home. After I get home I call him to let him know I made it and we talk for anywhere from 15 mins to an hour so my sleep is interrupted but I generally still get 8 hours.

I went to the chiropractor for back and rib pain. He took X-rays and my spine was out of alignment. I've been there 5-6 times and am no longer having pain. When I went the past couple of times, my back didn't even crack when he tried to crack it. I went yesterday thinking it would be my last appointment because he told me the last time that it would be the last appointment and after 5 minutes he says he wants to see me again on Friday (the appointment was on a Monday) and that he wants to stretch the appoinments out longer now (I was going twice a week). Is this normal or is he just trying to get more money out of me? I really can't afford to keep going so much especially if I'm not in any pain.
