General Health Care - June 2007

I was trying to read and I noticed I could only see half the page! I have to move my eyes over far to see the rest, and even then, some of the words aren't there at the end unless I look way past them. There is this constantly moving blurriness in half of my right eye. Even if I close my eye, I can see this blurriness shimmering. This has been going on for about 45 minutes now, since I woke up. I feel a little dizzy. If this doesn't stop, should I be worried? Should I go to the eye doctor? What's going on?

My Mom's fibromyalgia pain is constant. All she does is cry and want someone to rub her knees and legs. Dad is losing sleep. Doctors have tried all types of pain relievers, nothing is happening. Yesterday, when I was massaging my mother's legs, it felt like she didn't have any flesh to them, just skin and bone. I'm really scared my mom is gonna leave us. Any suggestions for the constant, excrutiating pain. It comes with vengeance at nighttime.

Over past few months I have this very localized bone pain in lower to mid femur. Its only in one spot and the pain really doesn't radiate from it. However, when I press it, it is extremely painful. Also I notice it when I bump it into things the right way, it hurts extremely bad. I don't remember receiving any trauma there. I tend to notice it more at night it seems like. I also don't remember any big bruise or anything there. The pain is deep, and localized. Pressing on it is when I really feel the pain. You can tell its down at the bone also. Any ideas? I am 17 btw. It seems its a common age for certain types of bone cancer. Does it sound like it could be that? I am going to doctor this week.

I haven't smoked in two days but starting to get the cravings. I'm not even sure if I want to quit permanently. Maybe I just want to take a "break".

I'm having chest pains in the top right corner of my chest. Is this a sign of heart trouble, or just normal chest pains? I haven't had much sleep at all in the past few days. I went to the ER a few days ago and they said that there are no signs of a heart-attack. I also have quit smoking after 2 months.

I come from Spain,the system is cool there.Everybody can go to the doctor when they need it, some few abuse, it's normal, but the people are generally healthier by that. I have seen that system all my life and now living here, its abusive, the doctors want more and more money, how much money they gain? an ambulance to a friend = $2,800. Health is not economy, don't play with human life. Well, don't say me "go back to Spain", i think i'll do soon but i'm here just for my boyfriend....

Ok. To start I had surgery last Friday to remove a tumor from the back of my leg/knee. I am on bed rest and in a knee immoboilizer for 3 weeks.

Today:
I had been laying down for about 2 hrs straight. My leg was elevated. I got up to walk around and my foot turned purple/red. Very different than my other foot. As soon as I elevated it again it turned back to the normal skin color.

Do I need to consider a blood clot?

A month ago I had right sided facial numbness and tingling in my are and leg. I waited a few days and saw the Dr. He thought I might have had a stroke but the MRI was negative. I'm haaving the same problems now, this time with facial drooping on the right and dragging of m R. leg. I have a phone call into my Dr. but he hasn't called back. The local hospital isn't worth going to so we have to drive an hour to the next one. I would rather stay home and take a nap and see the Dr. in the am.

okay I jammed my finger on the 5th of June and I still can't bend it all way. my mom's a nurse and she doesnt take me to the doctor for just anything. I've been taking Ibuprofen and going easy on it. the joint is really loose, the swelling has gone down a lot but it is still swollen on the knuckle. should I just wait it out? I kinda in a time crunch. I leave for a international swim meet in 24 days. and I have to train. but I can't train with my finger like this. tape hasn't been staying so I've been going without anything. but if I hit it the wrong way or push the water wrong it hurts. I have iced it. I don't know what else to do. FYI. it poppes when I bend it. but it doesn't hurt all the time. what do you think I should do?

Last night as I was cleaning up at work before going home, all of a sudden I got the worst lower stomach pain in my life. I hit me like a brick wall. I had to hunch over because it hurt so bad & eventually I broke out in a cold sweat and starting getting light headed. The pain was soo bad. I thought I was going to throw up as well because of the pain and the dizzyness. I eventually had to sit down and one of the bouncers had to carry me out because I couldn't walk. I went to bed to try and sleep it off but I woke up this morning with still a little bit of pain. It isn't as close to the amount last night but what was this that happened!!??? If I push below my belly button it kills & it not only hurts where I push but it hurts even more above my belly button. I would like some advice as if I need to see a doctor. Is a constipation, a cyst bursting, what!!!?? Help
