I took a few too many Motrin.
34 pills that were 200mg.
6800mg.
It's been a bit over an hour, and I don't feel anything other than alittle bit of a head ache.
Is this dangerous and do I need to get help?
I've been searching all over the web for an answer, but I cannot find one!
Please, any help would be great.
How long untill I need help (if at all)

I hurt my elbow I think from maybe baseball or something not sure woke up hurting and played baseball 2 days before. It has gotten worse from baseball. The only way I can explain where it is is by making a fist and sticking it out stright forward with the thumb on the left side. The muscles on top right where the elbow is right around where it hurts. The pain is not constant though sometimes bending or raising my hand will make it hurt really bad but other times it is nothing. Thanks for the help.

When I was in 4th grade, I broke/fractured/chipped my wrist, just by falling off the monkey bars, and now, in 8th grade, it hurts. Only every 2-3 months does it hurt. It hurts for about 2-3 weeks. I can't put any pressure on it at all. I know you say it's just the weather, but if it is, what am I supposed to do in order to make it not so painful!?!?!

Is there a way to awake a person in a coma if not announced brain dead?
If there has been a horrible strike to the head that induced the coma if said person wakes up what will the extent of damage be to his speech memory...etc?

Okay, so I got 15 bites on my legs, 2 on my back, 1 on my arm.
However, two of the leg ones, both on my ankles, have gone a bit skanky, particularly one on my left leg.
My leg ankle is swollen compared to the right one, and there is a big pus filled head on it (about 1 cm x 1 and a half cm big...nice :P)
My parents said they'd pop it if they were me, but I really don't want to..
I don't know what to do. I've tried 3 creams....germolene (antiseptic cream), sudocrem (antiseptic cream) and anthisan (bite and sting cream).
Anyone have any ideas what I should do?
They itch quite bad too..I asked about soothing them on here the other day. But people seemed to only suggest weird and wacky things that I don't own and don't know where I would buy it from lol.
Sometimes moving is a bit difficult too..like I find it hard to sit on the floor and can't get up normally, and I can't actually crouch or kneel because it hurts.

and the q-tip in my right ear , went all the way in, it hit something, and it caused me alot of ear pain(kind of like a loud rining sound)

the pain is gone know, but my right ear still feels kind of weird.

I just got my results on my MRI and it says that there is:
linear tear of the posterior horn, lateral meniscus extending to the inferior articulating surfacer laterally. The medial meniscus is intact.
There is no thinning of the cartilage over the femoral condyle. There is small joint effusion in the suprapatellar bursa. There is no abnormal marrow signal intensity.

Can someone tell me if this will heal on its own? Going to a doctor is going to cost me a lot so I'm kinda holding off on it. If I wait too long will it get worse? I've been walking on it for more than a month now.. The only improvement I've seen is the swelling has gone down.

Can you really catch up on sleep or is it better to always go to bed and wake up the same time no matter how tired you are?

It is like an electric shock & makes life intolerable. Could it be that lack of lubrication to the eyeball is aggravating the nerve ending & sending nasty pulses along the nerve?
Can anything be done about it - other than keeping the eye closed?
Any words of wisdom would be appreciated by an increasingly desperate sufferer.

If I had a torn rotor cuff would I be able to move it the same way that I used to or will I only have limited mobility? and if I dont have full mobility is it because of pain or I just would be able to move it that way? Thanks.

My tailbone is killing me, but I didn't fall on it or anything. I recently had a long car ride, and after it I noticed the spot where I was sitting (my tailbone) was very sore. It is definitely the tip of the bone that feels sore. I figured it would go away but seems to be getting worse the more I sit on it. Is this a bruised tailbone, even though there was not blunt force? Or is it something else?
