General Health Care - May 2007

Some days I feel pressure, but not really pressure, it is hard to explain, I just feel different in my head/body, when I rub my eyes and open them I see the world like looking through a bottle of Goldschläger. Little gold flakes seem to fall or float in my vision. This lasts for only a few moments as the "pressure" feeling subsides.

My eyes feel kind of like a glaucoma test has been done as well, sort of dry and swollen and irritated, but nothing really bad. This vision thing is more of a concern then a pain thing as I am curious to know if it is signaling something else. I am in my late 30's so I don't think this is normal for people in my age group either.

I quit drinking about 10 years ago, I quit smoking 3-4 months ago, but this symptom has gone on for a long time (like 20+ years), it just seems to be happening more and more lately.

Anyone got an idea what this could be?

I am only 22 yrs. old and have pretty bad bunions. The podiatrist recommended me to get surgery. I have heard horror stories about this experience and am very scared, even though I really need to get it done. Please inform me of what the weeks following this surgery are like.

When you feel a few bad or in hurt, you go to a doctor immediately or you wait some time to be sure you need to go or maybe you'll be better?

I really enjoy smoking. I've had no problems over the past ten days, but I miss it. I've smoke since I was 14, now I'm 39. I've heard some people can smoke and have virtually no physical problems from it--I think I may be one of those people. If that's the case, I wanna start again! Any others out there like me?

I stepped on my sons shoe and twisted my foot yesterday. It instantly swelled up, and the pain is almost unbearable. The pain is on the side of my foot by my little toe. The pain seems to be getting worse and is constant. The pain also shoots up almost my whole leg. It even hurts as bad when I am not bearing any weight on it. I can not even let it lay on my bed or pillow or anything, that seems to make it even worse. I don't want to go in to see a doctor and find out it is just a sprain and waste my time or the doctors. Not to mention looking like a big baby. Any suggestions?

I suffered from tendinitis of the wrist (the tendon that connects the thumb to the wrist) about a year ago, and also about 9 years ago. Both times after many months of on and off pain the doctor fixed it via a cortisone shot. I used to be a heavy badminton player but quit the game due to strain on my wrist. I am also a squash player and continue to play the game. However, anytime I play more than 1-2 times/week my wrist starts to hurt, forcing me to back off. Seems the tendon in the right wrist is chronically weak. Is there anything that can be done to 'strengthen' it? Will it get worse as I get older - I would hate to have to stop playing squash. Any advice is appreciated.

Well summer is approaching, and I am allergic to almost all insect bites/stings (wasps, ants, mosquitoes, other bugs). Whenever I get stung by a mosquito the entire area swells up; if its my arm that entire half of my arm will become swollen. What can I do to relieve the swelling and itching? Its so gross especially when I'm out at a BBQ or the beach. The same thing happens to my sister.
