This morning, I got shocked from a metal spatula touching the pan!! It was a weird feeling at first.. and it didn't occur to me that it was a shock from the stove through the pan through the spatula to me!! I reacted really quickly at first to the thing and it was one of those automatic pullbacks... and then I was stupid, because I didn't know I just got shocked.. I tried to flip my omelette again using the metal spatula.. and the second time, I noticed a weird sensation.. like a buzz.. but a really big noticeable buzz going through my arms.. it was SOOO WEIRD and really scary, I'm not sure if I withdrew my arm back fast that time.. I was too caught up in what just happened, so I didn't notice... but it scared the bajeebus out of me.. Am I going to die from the electric shock??? Oh.. and are stoves suppose to let out smoke from the ring things?? And has anyone experienced this "buzz" like shock??

i've been having problems in my family and been feeling extremely stressed out over them. i've started to notice that my back has been hurting slightly more than usual, feeling pain in my shoulder blades and lower back. it even gets uncomfortable to sleep normally at night. is it stress that's causing my discomfort or something else??

Hi I've had back pain especially in my left shoulder, I took some photos and realized my left shoulder is higher than my right, Why is this, besides scoliosis, because I think it may be muscle related.

Have you ever had a staph infection? If so, what type and where was it on your body? How long did it last, the symptoms, etc.? Just curious.

My four yr old is complaining of a ear ache in his right ear. I have told the doctor this two times and on both occasions no ear infection. He says it hurt on the inside. What else could be wrong?

This might sound really random and strange but i've just accidently swallowed a fish bone while eating my dinner. It didn't hurt, and just went straight down but as i'm pregnant i'm worried this might harm the baby in some way now! Help?

My knees have been bothering me off and on for years. I'm 29 and physically active (no running though) and otherwise healthy. My knees ache from time to time, not always together, usually just one then the other.

Sometimes it's so bad I can't sleep. I take ibuprofen, use aspercreme, etc. but it only lasts a little while.

I went to the doctor once and they told me the undersides of my kneecaps were rough, and that with exercise it would improve, but it hasn't.

So . . .any ideas?

I have had acute nerve pain in my neck for 5 months. I have been to a chiropractor, 2 neurologists, massage therapy, and pain management (epidural shots). Nothing has worked. Today I had my first session of cupping and accupuncture. I feel pretty good, but sore. i just want to hear some stories from other people to see if they had good results and if this works. Thanks!

my mom has fought 3 diff. cancers for 13 years and is now cancer free; but she still experiences chronic pain from a prev. neck surgery (during her 1st and 2nd cancer treatment). i think the wound is still not properly healed inside coz when she is exposed to hot humid weather, her "wound" become red and swollen and she constantly feels stabbing pain-she says its as if her nerves are getting stretched.
her condition got a little better when the wound healed from the outside but until now she still experiences pain and it gets worse in hot and humid weather. she has to stay in an air conditioned room most of the day coz when she sweats her neck wound would sting and get swollen all over again.
how can i help my mom deal with the pain? she takes pain killers but she doesn't want to be dependent of them. are there other alternatives out there? i really hope you can help.
