I have tried decongestants but they dont work. I've heard of these cones that you light on fire and they pull the ear wax out but idk where to get them or if they will help. also I have a horrible headache above my right eye all the time and feel like I have trouble seeing out of that eye.

I am a fairly healthy woman and take good care of myself, but
I have dark under my eyes. It is annoying as I am very pale complected and I think it makes me look as if I am ill.
Help?

OK let me start out by sayin:ONLY SERIOUS ANSWERS PLEASE.
Here's the thing, i went to the ER a couple of times because I was sick. I then applied for charity care and i was approved 100%. Then i received the bills from the hospital, i received two types of bills, one from the hospital and one from the doctors.
The charity care covered all the hospital bills, but when i called for the doctor's bills they told me they do not accept charity care. I was surprised because if I cant pay the hospital it is obvious that i cant pay the doctors either.
Please let me know if anyone else had this problem before and what did you guys do to solve this?

thank you!

About 4 days ago, a place came up on the lower part of my belly. It was swollen, and the skin was raised in a circular place. Now, 2 days ago, it began to hurt very badly, but it was just red, no black, or any other signs of rotting skin. About this time, blood starting gushing out with a milky puss liquid. It has been 2 almost 3 days, and now it's not as painful, but there is clearly ONE hole, my skin is no longer raised, but blood/puss continues to gush out, especially when I sit down. I am very worried, because I'm not sure what it is. If anyone can share experiences, or tell me what you think it might be, please help me!!!!!! Thanks So Much!!!! If you give rude comments, I will report you.

for the past hour, a small area to the right side of my sternum and under my right 'mammary gland' has been aching. it's keeping me from sitting completely straight... it could be a really bad cramp, but it hurts really bad. and i usually don't get cramps or anything.

what should i do?
what's this "condition?"
is it normal?

sorry i can't be more specific. that's the best i can describe it, unless one of you ask a question, then i can try my best to answer in the 'additional details' section.

i think it's a pinched nerve, that's what my dad said and he was about 2 months away from getting a PhD in anatomy at Northwestern. it's when you stretch your arm after it happened and it hurts.

My doctor just put me on Lyrica for my fibromyalgia.... The problem is I don't have insurance and it cost me almost $400 a month. I was wondering if anyone else with fibromyalgia is on Lyrica and how it was working for them. If it works I will stay with it but if it doesn't then I will ask him to write me something else. Another problem is it takes at least a week to work. I want the pain to stop now! Please let me know. Thanks!

I have had a back ache that stretches from my lower shoulder to my lower rib cage. But it does affect that whole back area. IT was an on an off pain for two weeks, but now it is non stop and wont go away. I noticed it flared up when I used dumbells when working out. So I took some time off from the gym and it has been four days and getting worse. And to make matters worse, I went to a massage therapist and she said she could fix me, she said it was a muscle spasm and she did an ultra sound on it and then rubbed it. At first I thought she had helped it but now its hurting so much worse. What could be wrong, any sygestions? Any ideas as to should I apply heat or cold to it? I need to workout is the bottom line, but right now it is way to painful.
