so, i messed my back up at work. 2 guys lifting a 500 lb steel beam. i'm in construction but im not a big guy. i weigh 155 lbs soaking wet. my back is shot. it happened on friday and im gonna have to miss work tomorrow (monday). hydrocodone makes me feel restless. i cant sleep on the damn stuff whereas oxcodone works much better for me. the problem is that i dont have a gp. im just trying to get a same day appointment anywhere i can get one tomorrow. so, im a new patient, 22 years old, tattoos and a messy beard. i have trouble getting pain pills after dental surgery sometimes. i think it is because of my physical appearance and the outragous drug laws. i need something for pain. i've been taking 600-800 mg of ibuprofen 3 times a day as well as 500 mg of acetaminophen 3 times a day and im still hurting pretty bad. how do i get a doctor to write a perscription for a first time patient?

I'm 19.......I do have bad habits of sitting down crooked....or at work since i left heavy boxes sometimes I lift them the wrong way to be faster....this discomfort/pain lasts a split second and i have difficulty getting up, but when i do the pain/ discomfort is no longer there...AND it doesnt always happen..also it has been going on for a few months.....i was just wondering if thats what can cause this or if there are other causes...thanks

My daughter has a splinter (small but causing area to be red) which she got from our deck. None of the splinter is sticking out of the skin so I can't grab it with tweezers. She won't let me "dig" for it because just touching the area makes her hurt. What should I do?

I had a car accident around 4 weeks ago and ended up with various nasty cuts around my eye. I had 40 stitches in these various cuts and had the stitches removed after a week. The doctors are saying that it is healing normally and that I should start to massage the area to help break down scar tissue. Now theres just a few things I wanted to know if anyone out there could offer me a little advice on. Is the Doc right about the massaging?, How long does the natural healing process take to be complete on such an injury as this? How long should I wait before using any sort of scar reducing products, and finally, Is there anyway I can reduce or prevent scarring and scar tissue?. Any advice and help would be much appreciated. Thanks

I had it since September, been many times in a doctor, PT and had cortisone injection and planing to have another one.I had a massage, used a hot compress. Can a chiropractor help me? although I'm not in pain like it used to be but I can't lift my left arm high enough to apply deodorant. I followed what the PT told me to do at home regarding excercise.

I have recently began running track for my highschool (I'm a sprinter). About a week ago I started experiencing pain in my quad while sprinting. My quad tightens up and i'm in serious pain. I have been using heat pads and been taking ibuforen, but it doesn't seem like it is working. I've haven't been running in 4 days but my quad still seems to be bugging me. It doesn't hurt to walk on it. It just starts to hurt when I run and try to stretch it out. It has been starting to bruise also. What should I do?

I seem to be always getting yeast infections. I go a few months without one and then it comes back. sometimes they are not as bothersome as others, but i am tired of getting them. Have taken prescriptions for them. No one seems to be able to give me the answer, not even doctors!

Every morning when I wake up I can hardly walk because of my sciatica nerve. It takes me about 2-3 hours to be able to actually stand up straight in the morning after I wake up. There has to be something I can do in order to excersise this nerve. Any tips or advice would be helpful thank you very much!

While over at my mothers this afternoon we were putting a mirror on her dresser. It was noneventful and took all of 5 mins. Upon sitting down She noticed a Huge bump forming on her hand between her ring finger and middle finger. There was no pain or abrasion just this golf ball size knot turning black. We put ice on it and it went down some but I just phoned her and she said it is now spreading thru out her hand and it is now hurting. She is not on any blood thinners. The only thing she has taken is predizone for (spelling) gout.
