On a daily basis the pain is anywhere from a 7-10 on a scale of 1-10. I have tried aleve, vicodin, and cold compress, but all seem to just barely touch the pain. Any suggestions?

my son is nine years old and one day recently the school phoned us to say my son had had a little bump on his head do we want them to get an ambulance or pick him up. i rushed to school and when i got there my son had a paper towel to his forehead and when he removed it he had a large gash which was really deep and required 5 stiches.
my son told me he had been doing PE playing benchball and he had tripped over the bench which had been put to close to the stage and cracked his head on the sharp edge of the stage.
I phoned the local health and safety office to get a copy of the schools accident report which they sent to me and the report was wrong they didnt mention the bench or the stage and it read as if he had tripped over his own feet.
i immediately phoned the headmaster and he agreed with me that my son did trip over the bench and the report was wrong and said he would amend it but he hasnt done so as yet. why are the school trying to cover up the cause of the accident HELP!!!!

Possible nerve damage. Loss of work because of severe pain. Reason I fell was because they were cleaning the cement stairs and entrances with Tide detergent and a hose and didn't rinse completely so it was extremely slick.

My brother who has had back pain on and off most of his life recently had a facet block shot -four needles of cortizone. A couple of days later he couldn't have anything touch his back. Not so much the pain, but he had a sensation to the touch that he made him feel like he was losing his mind -sort of like a maximum panic attack. Then he had a cortizone epidural, and now he is in very bad shape he can only lay on his stomach or stand. Can't sit, can't lay on his back. I'm very, very worried about him. He's sounds suicidal. This is pain management at it's worse. What can the poor guy do?

I have an 'office job' - which means sitting at the computer every day, all day. My back problems range from 'twitching muscles' to general discomfort. What can I do to avoid my back problems getting worse and worse?

The problem is in the thorax area or higher lumbar region.

I have turned them and done all I can she does not complain of them hurting but when I squeeze the ear a little of yellowish greenish puss comes out from the inside of the ear ring hole with ear ring still in ear. I havn't taken out ear rings(same ear rings used to pierce ears with 14k). This is also her second peircing the first closed up due to me taking ear rings out to early. Should I take out ear rings and let holes close up? Or will the holes close up since it's been almost a yr since they were pierced. Is there an infection in ears, or is just the ear rings itself causing the puss?

Hi, all day i've been feeling sick. I was sick this morning but since then it's been coming out the other end.

I've felt too sick to eat all day, but i've been drinking water; and now all thats coming out is a kind of cloudy grey gooey liquid every time I go to toilet which is usually every 10-15 minutes.

I can't go out the house to see a Dr. and he won't do a home visit because apparently it's not serious enough.

I still feel ill but I just don't know what to do. I can't stop going to the toilet and every time I walk more than 10 paces I have to go too. It's been like this for about 11 hours and i'm sure I won't be able to sleep tonight.

What should I do? How can I stop it from going in and then coming straight back out in 10 minutes. I can't just not drink anything...

Any suggestions please?

Is is possible to get an ear infection after having your ears syringed.

Also, do you have to have pain in the ear during an ear infection?

Finally, if you did have an ear infection did it affect your balance?

Thanks in advance.

Okay. I went for a physical about two months ago, and I had a concern about a lump on my throat that came out of nowhere. Then My physican told me it was an infection, and he didnt know how got it. He gave me medication for it but it didnt work, in fact it grew a little bit. Then I went back today and his *** told me that it was a reaction from my acne[[wtf]]. He said he couldnt give me any medication for it, and now I'm left with this stupid thing[[not noticeable]]...but still. Does anyone have any idea what it is and how I can get it to go away??
I dont think my physician knows what hes talking about, but I cant get a new one untill the next couple of months when my mom gets new insurance. Can u help me? Any physicans out there, or people who've had a simular problem??

To doctors or people who really knows. I ask for your help.
Yesterday at night I was playing soccer in a indoor stadium (the floor is of cement) and accidentaly I fell down and
unfortunately I have struck very strongly my head (the back part) against the floor, it was so strongly that I could not move my arms, because I didn't feel my body I just could see al the roof of the stadium but I could no move my arms or legs after a while, then I began to feel my body and move it and until that momment I felt the pain in my head, the pain was very strong.

unfortunately the hospital service in my couentry is so bad, so they didn't give me any attention yesterday.
So my questions are: Do I have to get worried because of that accident ? Do I have to go to an expensive hospital so they can check my head?. What should I do?, wha should be the consecuences of that crash?

I had my tonsils out about a week and a half ago, (and I'm not so young anymore, so the older you are when you have them out - the harder it is to heal), and the pain medicene I'm on makes me irritable and paranoid, but I'd rather be on the "egde" than in pain. But, I do notice that people get frustrated with me because I've been SO irritable. Do you think I should use the medicene as an excuse for the way I'm acting or just apologize and be done with it?
