-Pain came back after a long walk, and hasn't left for a week.
And the pain is extending from my knee and halfway down my shin.
1) What is going on with the knee. What should I do?
2)Might this be permanent?
Thanksss

I fell of my bike yesterday and grazed up my hands pretty bad,
I wiped the area clean with alcohol and pulled out all the gravel, and then got some gauze & bandage tape and have taped up my hands, and then re-applied clean gauze and tape this morning, they hurt quiet a bit and the skin looked pruny from being taped, should I let them breathe a bit or keep them taped till they heal?? (the pressure of the tape stops the grazes hurting so much) any adivce would be much appreciated :) thanks

About one month ago I badly fractured two of my fingers. I did this while on duty at work. I was put on light duty and went to the clinic my work uses on a weekly basis. I was told initially that the injury was extremely bad and it would take 6 to 8 weeks to heal. Today, I was told to return back to work for full duty after just under 4 weeks. I decided to get a 2nd opinion finally from my family doctor. He took x-rays and discovered not only that I should not return to work but that I should see a specialist because it is not healing well. The injury was a crushing one that shattered the tips and each tip is in about 5 to 7 pieces. The clinic's physician did not follow up with an x-ray and disregarded my suggestions about the pain and numbness. She seemed insulted when I brought up anything about a 2nd opinion.
It seems to me that she was negligent. If I was to return to work I could have done further damage. Should I sue her? Report her to who knows where?

It kind of sounds soothing. Like bubble-bath. But, would it be bad for my skin or something?

I know it's disgusting, but I do bite my toenails and pick at them, but today I noticed that I picked at it a little too much and the nail is practically falling off the toe. I want to rip it off but I'm afraid it won't grow back - should I wait for it to grow and then rip the broken part, or do I just rip now and wait a year or so for them to grow back?

I'm very scared.

Does anyone know what causs them or even more helpful would be how to prevent them like any good products to buy, medicines, vitamins etc....any ideas are always useful?

Is it when one eye-lid i a little lower than the other? I seem to have this, it isnt really noticable unless you really stare at me. I seem to notice it more in the mornings where one eyelide(my right one) is always a bit lower and seems to have a wrinkle, but during the day you cant really notice it. Sometimes it looks like one eye is lower than the other one even tho its not. Is this lazy eye? What can i do?

I have acute bronchitis. The last few days I started to get very bad lower left side pains. I thought it was just due to all the strain of hard coughing. However, yesterday I coughed hard and I felt a POP in my side and it temporarily went numb, then felt like someone had stabbed and kicked me there. SO bad I couldnt stand straight. Its lower left side, around hip and lower side abdomen/rib area.Its not getting better, but worse feeling. Have I just torn a ligament or what?

My right hip hurts. It hurts the most in the groin area , but it feels like the whole hip hurts. If it helps it hurts the most when i start running, like right off the start line, until i get in my groove, then the pain goes away somewhat. Also when i lift my leg up toward my chest, then i put it down i hear a popping noise. It started to hurt after i hadnt run for a long time, then i ran 8 miles with leg weights on. I dont know what a stress fracture feels like, but i can run. I really need the pain to go away, because track is in full swing, and i can t run as well as i want to.
