My left wisdom tooth hurts like ******* hell right now, i want to call my dentist and ask for percocet but she usually prescribes vicodin for the pain but i heard percocet works better and vicodin doesnt help me much will she be suspicious that im just pining after pain killers? or is it a good suggestion to make?

I had a pain in my neck earlier this week (couldn't move my neck much without excrutiating pain) and now the pain seems to have moved down into my upper shoulder and it's so painful it brings me to tears. What's wrong? Should I go see a doctor? Any home remedies?

I wear high heels and I can't stop wearing them. First I noticed my smallest toe was numb, then next one was numb, and now the third and the fourth are all numb. I am so worried. I can't feel any pain when i pinch my toes or scratch them. And they were mild blue color. I think I killed my toes!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!

After playing competitive tennis for 7 years 5-8 hours a week, I finally developed pain in my right shoulder at the bursa. The shoulder is slightly painful for a few days following play then goes away after ice, anti-inflamitories and rest (no tennis). Once I've given the shoulder this brief time to heal, I feel no pain during my every day activities. Question: How long do I need to avoid playing in order for the pain to NOT reappear once I do get back on the court. Would a cortisone shot - should my doctor give me one - keep any pain from reappearing? Bottom line, I'm devistated to not be able to play as tennis is my passion.

I'm 16, believe it or not I DO NOT do drugs, I weigh 177 pounds. Any other requirements that you know of? Do you have to be 16 or 18 to give blood? I'm giving blood this Saturday, March 24 and April 23 (if I meet the other requirements). Are the dates too close together?

I had a bump behind my ear and sort of an ear ache. I went to the doctor to see what was wrong. She told me it was a lymph node or something like that and I might have and ear infection. I had a problem when she was checking the ear that was hurting. She was cleaning my ear and went way down to what felt like my eardrum. She told me to tell her if it hurt. I told her like 5 times that it hurt really bad but she kept going further down my ear. I thought it was dangerous to put anything smaller than your pinky finger inside your ear, so why did she do that? Could it have been possible for her to hurt the inside of my ear from doing that?

I just joined track recently and now my knees are starting to hurt. I'm a sprinter so I run on my toes, and I know thats not good for you, but I don't know what happened to my knees. Everytime I bend them they crack, and it feels best if I keep them perfectly straight. Is it possible to sprain your knee? Please help.

For almost two months now, i have had a pulsing sound in my left ear. It started out of the blue, for no reason. Its sounds like an ultrasound is being done right in my ear and it never goes away. When my heartbeat raises the sound becomes louder. What do you think it is?

I ate a pasta dish earlier today that had broccoli in it. The broccoli tasted pretty weird at the time, and I've had indigestion ever since. I took some Mylanta, and drank some ginger ale, but nothing seems to be helping. Any ideas? I feel miserable.

Currently, an elder patient lives in CA and needs to be moved to TX in an assisted living or geriatric home. She needs better care than the current relative can provide 24 hours a day. Another problem is the unwillingness of the siblings to cooperate and do what's best for the relative. Other relatives in TX are willing to provide more care and attention if the eldest relative lived closer, ie, the need for the transfer of resident care.
