My ear drum has ruptured 2 times in just under 3 months, and a total of 3 times all together. I have a history of ear infections and ear aches, im 34 and there just now wanting to put tubes in. My question is is having tubes put in painful afterwards and if so how long does the pain last? Im a big baby and hate the thought of pain! lol. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Please, please, please help!
I'm going home tomorrow from Uni and unfortunately I had a VERY drunken walk back. Ended up falling on the pavement and damaging most of the right side of my face. My cheek is bruised and also there is lots of grazing. My lip is swollen and cut internally. I also appear to have a very small chip out of the top bit of a tooth. It's not noticeable but I can feel it.

Yes, I know I only have myself to blame but it REALLY hurts. Also I’m seeing the parents tomorrow and I have a feeling I may be killed!

Any help to reduce pain and appearance of my face would be thoroughly appreciated! If you know how long I will look like this for would also be great. (Or maybe not so!)

i was at softball practice and we were hitting the ball, and my coach told me the next time i hit it to run the bases and they had to get me out. well, i hit it hard and starting running. i made it to third by the time the catcher had caught it. but then she dropped it, and in a game i wouldn't have run, but this was practice so i decided to go for it and ran for home. catcher grabbed the ball, and just as i went to slide, she tripped and we collided and i fell straight back hard with her on top of me (needless to say i was out, but that was the least of my worries at the moment), my butt hit first, then my back and legs. anyhoo, the pain was a lot, but i was tough and dealt with it, it was fine by the time i got home. well, the next morning it hurt like... a lot. it hurt to sit down, bend over, walk. anything. today it's better, but i still can't sit back without pain. my parents are out of town right now, and i'm going to tell them when they get back. what should i do?

Is it a poor diet or lack of exercise? I want to take a paracetomol but am not into pill popping.

I only smoke 5 a day but could this have contributed?

I am a little worried about this as I don't even usually get colds that much.

can you tell me your symptoms and what medication you are on for them?
Newly diagnosed with either silent migraines or simple partial siezures. I get auras and just pressure. Afterwards I get confused, have a hard time speaking, everything looks really bright, I feel like a truck hit me, I can sleep all day long, and sometimes I smells really bad things.
I am currently on Topamax until further test are done.
Thank you in advance for all your answers.

I get a headache in the same spot everytime i get a headache. it only goes away when go to sleep. i'm really not sure what triggers it but it seems like if i don't eat for a long period of time or if i read i get it them. and when i get them i am very sensitive to light. i am a teller at a bank so i am constantly staring at the computer all day everyday. could it be related to my vision. it's been a few years since i had my eyes checked and that was just at school. it also seems like i squint when i read small writing. i'm not sure what is causing these headaches but if anyone else has an idea i would like to know. thanks!

I have felt that my fridge has not been right for the past week and my landlord sent someone out yesterday,that supposeably fixed it and left a thermometer in it. This morning I got up and it still read 58 degrees. I feel like I should throw away the food. I also have been making many trips to the bathroom for a day or so.

Ever since yesterday I've had a stomach ache. And ever since it's gotten really bad. I was up all night last night because it hurt so bad. I tried every thing i could think of and nothing has helped. The majority of the pain is in the lower left side of the stomach. It also hurts to breath. Any ideas? I can't go to the doctor right now because i'm home alone and i'm only 14 so i can't drive

I got up to use the bathroom early this morning and on the way back to my room I kicked my 5 lb dumb bell. After swearing for five minutes, I just went back to bed the best I could. I noticed it was a little blue this morning before I took a shower, but it just seems to be getting more blue as the hours pass. I am just wondering how long is the pain going to last, so I will kinow how long I will have to limp around like a cripple!? Thanks!

I was working on my boat this morning and lopped it off below the second knuckle.

Do you think I need to go to hospital or will it heal naturally?

Not too bothered about the finger as I never use it and have thrown it away as I can't be bothered with all the "sowing it back on" business.

Is there any other reason I need to waste my time going to the hospital or will I be ok?

I have had anxiety for about 3 months, started with a panic attack and from there I developed the fear of having another where you feel any slight bodily change is the onset of something nasty.

Luckily through a course of medication (Fluoxetine), CBT and self help i'm getting to grips with it but I still have my moments of anxiety where I feel like i'm not with it, that I'm tired when I'm most likely not. I can still drive and work fine but its always on my mind.

To start with I thought it was the medication giving me side effects, I dont think I'm sleeping well either. Have no trouble geting to sleep but if I wake up early as I often do I find it hard to sleep again. I'm going to see the doctor next week to discuss my meds as these were just a trial but I' wondering if anyone else has felt like this and how they dealt with it.

Thanks.

I had abdominal surgery 2 weeks ago today. The doctor's in another part of the country, so there is no follow-up appointment. He didn't tell me when I could exercise again. My stitches are dissolved and I'm moving around well, so is it okay?
