My girlfriend got in a car accident and she got some vicodin pills. What would happen if I took one? The only thing wrong with me is that I feel a slight back pain from daily activity(so nothing i wrong with me really). I'm 21 by the way. So what happens if you take this while not needing it?

i've noticed this "bruised spot" on the side of my wrist. it's sorta brown-ish. i showed my mom and she said that it's symptoms of tenditis. she said it's caused by how i hold the mouse on the computer. she said i need to get that gel thing that ur wrist is suppose to "lean" on while u're using the mouse. what do u guys think? i'm not sure if she's right or not..

Hi, my upper leg (thigh) area muscles are really sore, this has been for the last four hoursish, Whenever I walk around or move they start to hurt even more. My arms are sore aswell but the pain isnt as bad. Im gonna assume its because I went biking alot today with a friend, and jumped on a trampoline for abit, for the first time this month. But should the pain be so bad, that I dont even feel like sleeping now, how can i solve this?

From your own experience, what painkiller is the safest on your organs? Ibuprofen, Tylenol or an Opiod used for chronic pain? Fibromyalgia sufferer.

and hit the back of my head. It didn't hurt at first, but within an hour I felt a lot of pain. I did not get dizzy at all, I was not nauseous or lightheaded. But I did feel a little spacey and out of it...is this a sign of concussion or anything related to this?

PLEASE HELP...

Have you been treated with an ENAR or a TENS machine ?
How did it help you and how many sessions did you have at what cost ???? Thanks for your answers in anticipation of some serious feedback.

If half of your hand is bruised including the middle of it and the palm. The area below the thumb (palm of the thumb) is bruised also. part of your thumb is bruised too basically half of your hand. You don't have full range of your thumb say as if you can't touch it to the ball of your pinki or grip a softball. also if it was swollen for two or three days before the swelling went down.

do you think it would be broken?

About 3 days ago I woke up after having slept on my hand and I noticed that my thumb was getting poor circulation. I was hoping the problem would fix itself, but 3 days later and it is still getting poor blood circulation. I think its getting some blood as it isn't completely numb but it also feels partially numb. What can I do to maybe get the blood flowing again through it?

Also, if it comes to having to go to the doctor about the problem, what sort of doctor would be best for this kind of problem?

The title explains it. It's always in the same spot, only with my right arm. It's not a lot of weight. Its a somewhat burning, sharp pain that may continue for a few seconds after about 5-7 lifts. Not sure what to do.

I have scoliosis and have been figuring out how I got it. My mothers side of the family had like 1 case of it, but its still unknown to doctors of how people get it. I rode the 'double loop' at Six flags once with my friend. During the ride my body was smacked against the seat and once I got off my whole back was in pain especially my spine. Right after that incident I got scoliosis about 1 1/2 years later. If it could/possibly be true then I am sueing those baggers. Steel coasters are not fun.

I started smoking a couple of months ago ... at first it was just with friends who smoke and then a little on my own, but not every day. Now, I go out to smoke a couple of cigarettes as soon as I wake up and take smoke breaks every couple of hours. I think I might be addicted, I really don't want to quit, but I don't want to wind up being a life long smoker and getting lung cancer. Would there be much harm in waiting a couple more months to quit? Could I be addicted this soon?

Just recently my reading skills have changed and I've noticed that, I have not gotten worse but I will might mix words together like if the sentence was "Joe was at the store", I might say "Joe was in the store", but then I am able to go back and notice my mistakes. Also to tell you, I'm currently on this drug called Diphenhydramine, It's causing headaches and blurred vision. Now the question here would be if you think this is perm? Why am I reading this way? Might it be the drugs or is it just me?

He has been sleeping all day... And I am worried about him. My husband was assaulted wednesday night and spent the night in ICU. They said his brain was bleeding. The C/T scan on Thursday morning showed that the bleeding stopped, but bruising remained. They released him Friday afternoon. Today is Saturday and he seems worse than ever. He is constantly sleeping. I can't even get him to wake up to eat. I am worried and curious if anyone has experienced a similar injury.

My son stuck a blueberry up his nose and it's WAY up there....I can see it with a flashlight, but it's like up in the part of his nose where the bone is, not in the cartilege area. We've tried closing the other nostril and blowing it out, and I tried to make him sniff pepper so he would sneeze, but it didn't work. Do I need to take him to the ER? I don't know what to do!
