General Health Care - March 2007

I have stretch marks on the backs on my legs (horrid things!) and a friend of mine kind of threw a knife down in the kitchen (she burnt her hand, so I can't blame her!) and it cut open one of my stretch marks. It was bleeding a fair bit, but stopped now. I put some bandaids on and applied pressure, but my mum says it needs stitching. I should probably just go to the hospital, but I don't like the place. So, does a cut stretch mark generally need stitching or would it heal itself?

Thanks for any help!

Ive not had any nose bleeds since I was about 10. But for the past 2 mornings ive woke up and had loads of dried blood in my nose Its also in throat in the morning - which is lovely. Could it just be the start of a bad cold? cause my head feels like wobbly not headache. Thanks for any help.

Is promethazine an okay drug for treating serious pain or is it more of a sedative? If for pain, at what dosage? All the info I find online is very vague.

I woul appreciate it if someone in the medical field could help with this question. I know it is administered often for motion sickness.

Thanks!

i've heard that its best for kids to go to bed before 11,because that's when the tissues and cells start repairing themselves. And i also heard that it's good 2 take a nap in the afternoon. However,after taking a nap in the afternoon, the earliest i can go to bed at night is around half past 11 or 12. So does that affect the repairing process?

I started lifting weights and a few days later I noticed a very big difference in my chest, I know its not muscle growth, it feels like its filled with fluid but it doesnt hurt and its not bruised. its also only on one side. It does feel strange when I try and move my whole arm in circles.

My military service took a toll on my back, the VA diagnosed my scoliosis years ago, and my back had recently really started to act up, stiff and painful. I am wondering if I should ask them about a brace to help my posture.

I normally sleep around 10-12 pm at night, and wake up at 7-8 in the morning. However, recently (last week), I have been sleeping at around 8--9 because I am so tired by then,, Then I wake up at 2-3 a.m., work/play for an hour or two, then go back to sleep. I find this unproductive. What can I do?

many times while i am sleeping, I will wake up and have a intense sharp pain on the side of my knee caps, last time I needed to turn from my side to lay on my back but it took me almost 30 minutes to do so because when I tried to turn & lift my leg, the area (muscles,tendons?) on both sides of knee caps was like someone was stabbing me, this has happened atleast a dozen times over the past year. what could this be?

I wiped out 3 weeks ago and suffered a 2nd grade AC separation (aka shoulder separation). I've been under the care of a doctor so that is not the issue. What I want to know from others who have had this same injury is: How long until you were pain free? thanks.
