I had surgery on May 26th to have a plate and 10 screws inserted because of a broken humerus. I had staples to close the incision and they were removed on June 8th. I then got steri-stripes to cover the incision until it was fully healed. The ends of the stripes are starting to peel off and it's fully scabbed over.

The lady i babysit for is an e.r nurse and she looked at my arm and said if I wanted to take them off, I probably could. I just wanted more opinions. So is it ok to take them off? Also, how do i take them off without ripping the scab off?

I will be honest, sometimes when you let one go it feels better than sex! It's just that release and relief, I suppose. Surely I am not the only one who sometimes derives pleasure from defecating. It's not sexual pleasure, just a general good feeling. Is this normal at all, or am I weird?

I had an accident on October last year, and the first dr sent me back to work lite duty then I was still on pain. I changed doctors then the other dr ordered an MRI and It showed that I had an herniated disc and the mri report explained the pain but once the insurance contacted the dr the dr changed his mind and changed his report he said I am doing very well but I am still under pain and they want to settel my case for 10 thousand. My lawyer said its a good option since the dr said I am doing very well ebven though the mri report and the independent dr report. I sense he might be on insurance side what Can I do ? I am in georgia.

And I'm sure there is something not right with it. My appointment to see the consultant has now been pushed back three times and I'm not going to be seeing him for another month. I tried to explain that I thought there was a problem but they said to go to my GP if I was worried. My GP is not a knee specialist, he doesn't know the ins and outs of the specific procedure I have had and has told me this, what should I do now?

Last summer on July 7th I went to church camp and I got hit in the head with a rock. The rock was huge so I started to bleed really bad... They called my parents and they came to get me and I went to the hospital to get 8 staples in my head. The doctor did not numb me so I could feel everything. It is still hurting really bad.... It hasn't heeled at all!!!!! I have been to the doctor over and over and he said he can't do anything about it....

Has this happened to anyone and how did you stop the pain?

4 days ago, I started to feel pain on the side of my body (both right and left, but more right side) and the pain is located above my hip bone but below my rib cage. When I lie down, it does not hurt, but when I sit a certain way or stretch a certain way, I feel the pain. I drink a lot of water so its not dehydration, I'm not sure if its kidney stones. I'm just looking to see if anyone has an idea before I see my doctor Thursday.

I can move a tendon or ligament. Its what is on top of bone. On my right hand I can't feel the ligament or tendon.

Its been this way since Monday.

Don't tell me to see a dr I can't cause I don't have the money.

About 4 years ago I was at a party with some people I worked with at the time and I was talking with some people outside when this guy that I had a few problems with at work came out of no where and picked me up (my waist was up to his shoulders, that's how high he picked me up) and then just threw me on the ground, basically body-slammed me. I really have no idea why he did it. I black-out for a split second and when I came to..I heard people saying "you could've killed her, is she dead?" Yeah, it was that bad. Anyways, I was crying so hard because of the pain and someone finally drove me home. I tried to sleep it off but by the morning it hurt so bad that I told my mom (since I was living with her at the time) and she took me to the ER. They ran x-rays and found out I had air pockets in my chest, bursed lung, and a small hint of blood in my urine. Well my question is can I go back and sue the people that lived there? He was a waiter and has no money!
