How do I get a bug out of my ear. It has already bitten me and there is some swelling & bleeding. I have tried to get it with the tweezers but I am afraid of going in too deep. I have it filled with alcohol right now, (which hurt like hell) but nothing is coming out. I am not sure if I killed it or if it is just sitting still. Help please!!!!!!!!!

I was hit from behind in a car accident while giving a stoping hand signal. At the time of impact because of how my shoulder was located between the door frame the ligaments in my shoulder were torn. After about a month of severe pain i went to the doctor and was given medication as the blood from the ligament being torn went into the arm and shoulder muscles and had become infected. The accident was in Feburary and the medication was taken throughout April. My doctor said that after the medication everything should be fine, however we are in May now and i still have much pain and limited use of my right hand. Is some form of physical therapy needed and if so what can i do to start this process.

I've had constant pain in my upper back for a couple of years now. It doesn't feel like it's a particular muscle, instead it feels like it's my actual spine that needs to pop constantly (my upper spine is slightly curved outward, and there is always pressure). It's painful to stand up straight, and I'm afraid I'm making the curve in my back even worse because it hurts too much to bring my shoulders back, even when I do exercises that improve posture (too much pain in my spine between my shoulders). Whenever I twist my back, it seems like I can't twist far enough to relieve the pressure (just helps lower back). I exercise and do yoga regularly, and I'm only 18 years old, so it shouldn't be an age-related problem.

If anyone knows any natural or cheap treatments I can use to help relieve the pressure, it would be so helpful. Thanks.

I was on lorazepam and the med make me feel more tense, now I got clonazepam and I feel extremely tired, almost drunk, and very clumsy. I don't understand this though, because I thought diazepam was a stronger med and never felt like this on it. Is this another med reaction? What do I do?

My mom broke her foot two weeks ago tomorrow. She got a cat scan done last Friday and it said that her heel is supposedly crushed. They say she can't walk on it for another 2 months (she'll be on crutches) and then after the 2 months i guess she can only put wait on it for like an hour. I guess what I am asking is, is there a way her foot can heal better? My mom has a job to get back to in Wisconsin, and she really needs to get up there. Any rememdies or something that could help it heal faster? Please, please help! Thanks!

My pinkie finger has been hurting me a lot. The finger does not lay out or rest straight, the top part of my finger (the nail bed on up) is slightly bent inwards. I have also noticed a curve like ) happening. Yet the curve is a little further up and does not curve in as much.
My finger also likes to stay bent.
I have not really done anything that would cause a broken finger, sprain or anything of the sort.
I am also a little intimidated by the thought of getting my finger "reset". How much does that hurt?
Could it be broken?
How long would it take to fix?

Thank you

Hi i was wondering about a drug called methadose? My friend's son is taking it i dont know legal or illegal he is 22 and with the pills she found a powder substance she thinks he might be snorting it as well as swallowing it. My question is why would he be snorting it? And would snorting it get him higher than talking it orally? The pills say methadose 10, what does the 10 stand for the mg or something else? Please any info will help thanks....
