I hit my head against the sharp corner end of a shower that was hanging over the edge of a trailer. Basically I have a small chunk of skin that was taken out just above the eye. I've already gone to the doc, but they just put a small butterfly stitch over it that did nothing other than preventing it from scabbing over. I think they just put it over the wound itself. Now its still basically fresh, should I go back and have them stich it up right, or wait till the whole thing scabs over this weekend (again its like a half a centimeter in diameter, and there is no skin, just red mucsle. at least I think its muscle since the area is red, but it is also very shallow, only a couple mm deep). I got it last teusday, and its no longer bleeding, but still looks like it should be patched up.

I do not want surgery. I have very little pain in the knee and very little to no instability when i walk. sometimes i can feel some movement when i twist. The dr. said the mri may have looked worse than they are. because of my range of motion and lack of pain and little instability. also Im not very active nor take part in sports just work and play around the house. Im 36 yrs w/m

I have been working out a lot lately. My ribs are tender and are weird feeling. They don't hurt too much but sometimes it feels like they are going to pop out (on one side) and just have been kinda sore lately. Is this from working out more or something else? Thanks.

I am having KILLER backpains the past week.
I am 23 weeks pregnant, with a retroverted uterus (my uterus is tilted towards my spine instead of outwards).
What the pai feels like is a pinched nerve in my lower back, only on the left side. Sometimes my whole leg goes numb. It flares up more and more with each passing day. Usually happens when I bend or twist my torso, which is REALLY hard to avoid doing (I have a 5 year old son, a dog, etc). It feels like a pinching, twingey pain that shoots up my back and down my legs. Pain is almost in my left bum cheek, if that makes sense. I have an appointment with a chiropractor in 4 days, thank goodness. My dr prescribed me some painkillers and anti inflammatories until then, but I want something natural and easy to stop the pain... It's almost like I have to shuffle my feet because when I lift my left leg its excruciating pain... do you know exercises that would help me? I do pregnancy yoga most days but havent been able to because of the pain

I went to sleep one night perfectly fine and woke up the next morning with an itch on the top of my left wrist.When I looked at it,I discovered a perfectly circular burn(which was amazingly clean) that punctured the skin about 1/4 of an inch and another circular burn that didn't penetrate the skin right next to it.A few weeks later I found another deep circular burn on my left thigh.This is really weird and want to know if anyone has any idea what this means.

My pinky and ring finger on my left hand is numb. So is the palm of my hand, but only the part that is below the numb fingers. It's been numb for about 20 minutes. Any idea what might be causing this? My wrist feels a little bit numb too.

I didn't do anything to it.

I've only just begun having migraine headaches, I started getting them when I was 16. At first they were pretty few and far between, but by the time I started my senior year of high school I was getting 3 or 4 a week. I've been seeing a neurologist since, he's the top in his field, I have no known external triggers, (i.e. food, sunlight, smells etc) and so far nothing has worked for the pain. (I've been on Imitrex, zomig, axert, darvocet, vicodin, midrin, demerol, dilaudid, talwin, hydrocodone/Norco, fioricette with codeine and oxycodone hydrochloride to date.) I'm on a prophylactic (Norvasc) but lately I've been having many a week again. Does anyone know what I should do next??

I have been having really bad adbomen pain in the lower right area (like by my appendix). I have gallbladder problems and i am having surgery to have it removed on March 29, i don't think it is related because this pain is a lot more sharp and lasts longer than gallbladder. I have been having it for about a day and half. I have a fever and I am feeling sick to my stomach. Any ideas of what this might be??

Mine does, and I'm sure I'm not hungry, but sometimes I think it might be because I don't want to eat at that point in time. Just wanna know if others get it too.

I recently started running and after my second run, my foot started hurting for seemingly no reason. The pain got worse after a couple of days and I tried ice and elevation. It is slightly swelled up on the outside of my ankle right below the joint. The part that hurts is on the outside of my foot in line with my pinky and "ring" toe. It only hurts when I walk or point my foot. Also, sometimes when I point or flex my foot I feel something moving or pulling on the bottom of my foot. That just feels really weird, it doesn't hurt.

I have stopped running and have used the RICE method for about a week. Shortly after I take the ice off the swelling appears again. Does anyone have an idea of what could be wrong with my foot? Is it important I see a doctor soon or should I just continue with RICE for another week and see if it goes away?
