I cut my index finger pretty badly a few days ago. I have not gone to the Dr. for two reasons, no insurance and the cut runs from the top of my finger down the side of my fingernail-even if it needed to be stitched there is nothing to sew it to. I am keeping the wound clean and full of Neosporin. I have also had a butterfly closure on it, but I cannot keep a bandage on it. Does anyone know the best way keep this covered?

I have fibromyalgia, and was just wondering if there are also some homemade remedies out there for pain relief. I take grape seed caplets every day, and that just barely takes the edge off. If you can help me, that would be just great!!!!!

I obtained this condition above my left ankle about a couple of years ago playing soccer. It really hasn't gone away; when I poke at that area, it feels like a fresh painful bruise. I'm able to run and move around since the injury is above where my sneaker tops off.

I heard that acupuncture is helpful. Your suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.

this past week i have noticed that my ankles are swelling, my socks and cutting in because they r so tight, and my boots that go above my ankle which normally arent tight have been. i was just wondering on what might be causing this. i took a pregnancy test a few days ago and it was negative, and i just got done with my cycle on the 26 so i am almost positive that i am not pregnant. does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this to happen.

I've been having sharp to moderate pains right below my chest on my left side every time I breathe, the deeper the breath, the sharper the pain. Sometimes they start even without breathing. They started about a month and a half ago, but slowed down and I only got them once and a while, until yesterday. They come and go with intensity, but are almost constant with pain.

We have just been taught this funny game at school, first you breath really hard while sitting down, then you hold your breath and choke yourself, when you stand up things go all blurry and you fall over.

I went out for a few seconds my friends said, I hit my head pretty bad on the ground, I felt a bit groggy for a while, you know, like drunk, when I got home I noticed blood in my eye. My sister says as long as it doesnt get bigger its OK.

What do you think?

I hope you understand what I am asking, it's kinda hrd to explain? Either it hangs over the roll and closest to you or exact opposite hanging closest to the wall. Please let me know if I even make sense! It is just a simple dispute I would like to solve. Thanxs

I have been having a pain in my back every day for the past several weeks. The pain isn't all over my back, it is just in one spot. On the left side of my spine, in the middle of my back. I've been calling it a muscle cramp, but I'm not sure that's what it is. It is a burning, stinging, aching sensation. Sometimes it is a sharp, stabbing pain. I'm not in pain all day, it just seems to hurt after I get home from work. I have decided that I need to see either a massage therapist or a chiropractor. I'm not such which one would be able to help me. Which do you suggest?

a few days later it turned really really white and was hanging on by a thread. at that time it was oozing clear liquid but i thought nothing of it. yesterday i noticed that it turned yellow and when i picked at it, it exploded with yellow pus all over my hand. I decided the nail had to come off otherwise the infection would not heal. I took the nail off with my own two hands, did not hurt at all and cleaned it throughly. Should I have taken the nail off?

Yes, may seem funny- but, it is very painful, and it looks like i've been involved in a fight... and lost. I've taken paracetamol, and ibuprofen, however it dosn't make the pain go. Haven't eaten since it happened- as i can't. Any suggestions for a swollen, cut lip, and lower face?... a bag of peas simply don't work.

It just isnt fair. insurance is sky high and doesnt even cover any preexisting conditions, what if you dont have a lot of money yet you dont make little enough to qualify for assistance??? what about those people??? do they deserve to die??

Any advice, I find that I am waking up around 4am each morning and cannot get back to sleep, it is not due to noise or any other disturbance, just seems to be a natural thing, have tried going for a long walk before going to bed and going to bed later in the evenings but it makes no difference.
