i ended up in the hospital for a couple of days. first they told me i was bitten by a spider and they wanted to keep me for observation. they cut open my wound in the ER and later admitted me. my husband was by my side and stayed with me both nights. poor hubby got as much sleep as me cus the nurses came in everytime i fell asleep and he had to get up in the mornings and go to work. my poor baby was so tired and he still stayed with me bless his heart. anyways finally they told me i had a staff infection. i had to go in2 surgery on thursday. it was kinda xciting cus i never been put to sleep before. they had to make a bigger hole because the boil like "thing" under my skin wouldn't drain properly. the dr's didn't give me a good xplaination just told me that it's a bacteria. but what causes this can anyone tell me further than what the dr's told me?

I have this weird running injury that has prevented me from running competitively in college. When I run by right lower leg turns inward after about 1 mile, I thought it was overpronation but orthotics didn't work, motion control shoes somewhat stabilize it, but not enough. Orthopedic doc took x rays everything is ok with my leg . Any sugguestions?? I really want to get going on running again.
thanks

So 3 weeks ago I had REALLY bad cold symptoms. My throat hurt really bad and I have heavy unproductive cough. I also had tons of phlegm in my head, and my throat. It was like poison. When it got into my stomach, i had vomiting of nasty dark yellow bile for 2-3 days. I went and saw my doctor and he gave me an antibiotic and in 3 days I felt better. Now 3 weeks later, I have all the same exact symptoms, but my phlegm is black now, and I had a nose bleed. What could be wrong with me? I also have aches and pains.

For 3 days I experienced back pain after eating. The pain would go through my back and into the front of my stomach. After awhile, it would just disappear and at times seemed to get worse when I layed down. My upper abdomen otherwise felt discomfort to the touch if I had not eaten recently. The last day I felt this was Friday morning, then Friday night I just felt some nausea. I ate something Friday night, then Saturday afternoon I got up and I threw up. I was on tapazole for an overactive thryroid, could it be this causing it or something else?

So my uncle just had some surgery for his shattered thigh bone. He had a metal rod(?) inserted into his leg. He is wondering if the doctors are going to leave it in there or are they going to take it out later. Do any of you know the answer to this?

Hi! I suffer form cronic pain and my doctor has put me on two types of medication. I take 2- 50mg tramadol 4 times daily. Then in the night I take 60mg oxycodone that last 12 hours. The question I have is why I am feeling crummy during the day. During the day at work I am tired and feel like i have flu like symptoms. I am hot/cold and have not energy. It feels like I am running a fever. I am not sure but I feel maybe if i reduce the oxycodone I might feel better. But then I also think it might be the tramadol. I have taken tramadol before and it never made me feel like this. I have also taken oxycodone in the nights and the next day i never felt these symptoms. Does anyone know if it is due to the high dose of oxycodone? Anyanswers would be great.

For last few days, whenever I stand up and put my arm down to side, I have a really bad pain in shoulder. It feel like as if my arm is squeezing blood veins in my shoulder and shut off circulation to my arm.

This have happen few time before and usually pain go away by next day.

I never have any serious injury to shoulder and haven't hurt it in past few months.

what could it be that cause this pain?

Like when you are ironing, cooking, brushing your teeth, do you tense your buttocks? Can this cause muscular or circulatory problems if you do it?

I have been having some leg pain and circulation problems lately and this morning I noticed I tense my buttocks constantly. I am wondering if this could be part of my problem.

This is a serious question, so if you just want to give a goofy answer, please don't. Thank you!
