General Health Care - April 2007

I've been having headaches over the past few days. The past few weeks have been crud, i had the flu, and have been worrying over my mother and my pet. I've also just finished up my montly cycle. Are my headaches related to any of that, since all those issues are clearing up? And should i just take advil, or let them go away on their own?

Today I was sitting at my computer and I had to sneeze, so I instantly jerked my head to the side, and I felt a painful snapping in my neck accompanied with a burning/tingling sensation on the right side of my head. The burning went away after about 10 seconds, but the neck pain is still active. It feels like I might have pulled a muscle but I'm not sure. I can feel the pain in my neck mostly when I turn my head to the left . What could this be?

I Had surgery on my 2nd herniated disk on the same disk just 2 months ago. I just found out I have ANOTHER herniated disk on the SAME disk, pressing the nerve roots...AGAIN.
Anybody been through this? I got my results myself and today from my family doc. But he just said "get ready for surgery"..lol
Can they do another laminectomy when my disk is allready 10x smaller than it should be? Or would the surgeon maybe have whatever a fusion is?

I might have accidentally swallowed a pin. It's about two inches long and it has a top about 1/2 in. long. Is there anyway I can get it out without going to a hospital? I've tried shoving my fingers down my throat and barfing it up but it wouldn't. What are the chances of this just going through my system easily?

So I am 16 and was pitching batting practice yesterday and did not get behind the screen in time and got nailed in the back of the rib with a baseball. It hurt but nothing that made me fall down and start a show. Yesterday the only part that hurt was where I got hit. Today, my whole right rib cage hurts. Once again nothing unbearable but me worrying about everything I wonder if I should go get it checked out? Thanks!

I injured disk and ligament in my right knee a few years back playing tennis. It healed, there is no longer pain for daily activities, but it doesn't feel right.
If I bend my legs a little, then straighten them, the right knee will pop/move position a little . Also when I'm driving leaning my right leg to the side relaxed... sometimes the knee will just move 'clonk' a little like its moving out of joint a little.
I could almost swear that my right leg now feels a little longer than the left, though just visually looking... they look the same.
The physio said they haven't seen this before, and not sure what it is. I am afraid to do sports...especially anything with impact on the knee. I've tried stationary bike, but then the knee starts to ache if I do bike several times.
I'd like to play tennis again, or try rollerblading sometime.
Does anyone have any idea why my knee moves like this, or what I should do to improve things ?
any help appreciated,
thanks
Jon

My baby son is 6 months old. Yet my partner really wants to give him Cadburys chocolate buttons, against my wishes may i add.
Now i am disgusted by this, and feel that he doesn't need to find out about sweets and chocolate for a good while yet, months even years infact.
Am i being a prude, or is my partner just lacking in the brainal region.

Help before i go loony please

Some people have said that they have heard that it makes you really weak then again I've heard that it's no big deal. Just trying to get as many views on it as I can! I have a part time job that I go to in the evenings- just hoping that it won't interrupt that!

Thanks!

I've had pain in the left side of my neck for the past 7 or 8 months but it has gotten worse lately. I have noticeable rock hard knots along the left side of my spine on neck to shoulder blade. The pain often radiates down my left arm and back. I've never had problems like this before and I really don't know where to start. Should I go to a chiropractor, masseuse? Is there any at home remedies I could try? Special pillow? Heat? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I'm in the UK and have a friend in Australia who's gotten very low and depressed because of back problem & pain, he's frustrated and losing the inner fight. Its been going on quite some years. I wondered if anyone knows of any support websites for long term pain management, or anything of that nature, he's quite a loner and is only 40, any websites for back specialist advice as i think his problem is quite severe, its hard to help from so far away.

Thanks!
