I've had a painful, swollen, red bump (about the size of a mosquito bite) on my hip. It's spread slightly from the size of a dime to about the size of a half dollar. The red area is very warm. It doesn't look like an insect bite, and when I noticed it, I did not notice an insect anywhere near me. What could it be?

My 10yr old has just come home from school and a chair has fell off the desk and onto the bridge of her nose. It is a horrid bluey colour bump and looks quite raised. I have put a cold compress on it, is this all I should do?
Cheers.

I have had maybe a total of 15-20 hours of sleep over the past 3 days.
I try going to bed to allow myself 8-9 hours of sleep because I can not wake up in time to get to work on time.

Taking sleeping pills makes me more groggy in the morning.
I have sonata for my insomnia.

I can not fall asleep at 10 when I lay die even though I am so tired. I try to wake up at 6:30/7 to get to work by 8, but normally I never wak up until 7:30.

I lay down at night and lay there and think oh wow I am tired I will fall asleep soon. 2 1/2 hours later, I may fall asleep only to get up 3 or 4 times that night.

What can I do?

If you had surgery for putting rod in your tibia and fibula, how long will you be kept in the post operative care room before you're shifted to your room?

A friend of mine recently told me he's had a constant headache for 7 days straight. He thinks it's allergy related, however, he's been on prescription allergy meds for 5 days and the only symptom he has is this headache. Should he/i be more concerned about this?

I seem to always wake up with a cracking headache first thing in the morning, can anyone help as to why?
I tend to get a lot of migraines - could this be anything to do with it? I have seen my doctor and he cannot provide me with an answer.

My daughter went to emergency and was told that she broke her wrist. I took her to the orthopedic surgeon the next week when the swelling was going down to get a cast. He said it was a sprain, not a break. After that she begain brusing really bad and is still in a lot of pain. I wonder if I should get a third opinion.

Right after I got stung I went ahead and put ice on it to easy the pain. The pain went down so I forgot about it until someone told me it was important to take the sting out. Do I have to do that? What happens if I don't? And how would I take it out?

OK I recently posted a question and I guess I was not very clear. Right now, I am visiting Canada and recently injured my ankle on a flight of icy stairs. (damn cold weather) Anyways, I went to a couple of ER's and Clinics and they are wanting to charge me over 500$ (which I do not have to spare) to diagnose and prescribe the medicine in which I need. I have insurance but they still say I have to pay the 500$ first. I am from America and I do not get free healthcare like Canadians do, I do not have the money and my insurance is not through my employer, I have contacted my insurance company to see what they suggest and they just told me to pay the 500$!!! I don't know what to do, I need pain medicine for god sakes, are there any caring doctors out there?

I have been in Canada for a month now and I injured my ankle falling down icy steps... Healthcare is free for Canadians up here but not for Americans, I have insurance but they say I have to pay for everything first and they might be able to reimburse afterwards. I do not want to do this, I just need something to leviate the pain, I've tried OTC stuff but its not working, I need something more potent. I can't contact my doctor at home in the USA because I do not have one, I rarely ever went to the doctor. HELP! IM HURTING!

Yeah, that pretty much happened. I baked a lasagna, not realizing there was a silicone potholder on the bottom of the dish. I ate a good amount of it, and when I went to cut a piece for lunch today, found the potholder at the bottom of the dish. I didn't eat from where the potholder was but am concerned some of the silicone may have baked into all of the lasagna. Any ideas? It looks to be in the same shape it was when I baked it--it didn't seem to melt at all (which is pretty amazing).

I need a doctor to give me a long term sicknote, as i am fed up of working where i am.

I was involved in a car accident when i was a passenger a year and a half ago at work. The doctors then told me to keep hold of sicknote at time, as i may need it in future, if ever i had anything happen.

Should i just say my back is playing up? Would a doctor believe me?
