I have had a bulge in my wrist before. I just had a baby 3 weeks ago, and throughout my pregnancy, I did not have any wrist pain or I didn't see the bulge. Why now that I am not pregnant, did it come back? My wrist is so sensitive, I can't put any pressure on it. What can I do????

i was cooking pancakes for breakfast just now in the morning.
i accidentaly hit the handle of the pan and it fell on the kitchen floor. The hot cooking oil from the pan kinda splashed against my
tigh. it really hurts.
i straight way went to the bathroom and put my tigh under running water for few minutes.And after drying i realise im having about 10 or more blisters around my knee and tigh area. and theres 1 open blister.its like pale pink in colour.
and the other blisters seems to be blue-black and it hurts.
is it a second-degree burn and how should i treat those blisters?

There is a red spot on my eye I just noticed it today, the past few days though it has been painful and itchy almost like pinkeye...
Help it really hurts and my doctor can't see me for a few weeks... I am really nervous about it..
I googled red spots on my eye and it brought up a busted blood vessel and it also brought up cancer... could this be cancerous? I am really freaked out...

Please answer this...

I have tried to find some reading on bruised ribs and it's not widely available. I injurred myself working out but I'm not sure how. The pain I thought was in my back. It's intense, hurts to breathe, cough, sneeze, hiccup. It also hurts to sit in my car, make a right hand turn, or try to hold my stomach in. I found two areas on my rib cage on the very side, and on the front where it hurts a lot to touch. (Why was it hurting my back then?) No spot on the back.

I thought it was from doing back or abdominal exercises so I quit doing that, but doing a leg press machine (you're laying down and pushing up with your legs) I noticed if I wasn't careful my knees would crunch against my chest and that HURT. I'm wondering if that's how it happened.

If it continues to next week I will see a doctor but I wanted to know does this sound like a bruised rib? I cannot pinpoint it to a specific muscle so I don't know what else it might be.

Thanks

Well... I'm about 14 years old and I've been having knee pain. I inflammated my knee 10 months ago leading to tendinitis. When it first happened the pain was really BAD but now that time passed it feels a little better. However, I can not do many things anymore like how I used to such as squats or sprinting quickly as I used to. I tried taking IB profens but it had only treated the pain and not cure it. Anyone know a way to CURE my pain?

Sometime my right leg goes numb from the knee down. It doesn't seem to be related to sitting or standing, because it has happened either way. It usually stays numb for several hours, and no matter how much i wiggle my toes or massage it, it doesn't feel normal. I do not feel pins and needles, it is just a numb pain. This has been happening for a few months now, and it is starting to scare me.

I got X-ray on my ankle and the doctor said it was negative thus it was a sprain but my trainer thought that maybe the doctor missed the break and confused it for a growth plate. Also when the trainer touched all of my ligaments it didn't hurt but when she pressed down on the bone in a certain spot it did hurt. This sprain/break happened about a month and a half ago and there is still some small pain in my ankle when I play, it's the outside of my left ankle by the way. The weird thing is that sometimes I feel the same sort of small pain on the inside of my ankle as I do on the outside of my ankle where I was hurt. Is there some sort of other problem that I might have? Is there any way to strengthen the bone? Is there any way to prevent my ankle from cracking so often and what could that affect?

i have been icing it, keeping it in a splint, and stretching it as much as I can but it is still swollen I can't bend it or straighten it very much and it is painful when touched on the side of the knuckle. Should it still be hurting so much, should i just keep it splinted, or should I see a doctor?

I get a reasonable amount of sleep for a college student, 7-8 hours usually. Yet every morning when I wake up I never feel like I've had a good night's sleep. Obviously most people still feel sleepy as they get up, but I always feel extremely tired and have a headache, like I have a mild hangover (btw I rarely drink alcohol) or something. I thought this could be because my room is too stuffy and I try to keep it as well ventilated as possible and have the fan on in my direction; I also drink water before I go to bed because I thought i was dehydrated. but nothing works. Any ideas?

I have to work a completely different shift tomorrow than I am used to. I work evenings and am not a morning person. I have to work tomorrow from 7-3 and have to get up at 5 30 am which I haven't ever done. I normally go to bed at midnight and get up at 8. I can't change my body clock and although I will go to bed early, I won't sleep. Too much noise in my apartment complex and just too early for me to feel sleepy. The worst part is I have a high stress customer service job and will be the only one working in the entire store (except for 3 useless managers) for the first hours. I am going to be half asleep and on top of that I can't take a break or lunch for 7 hours because there is no one to cover my department and it can't be left alone. I will take a lunch if I get a chance 45 minutes before I get off for 30 minutes and clock back in for 15 minutes before getting off. Makes no sense but I can't take a break or lunch before that. What can I eat for breakfast (about 6 am)
