I was hit in the face by my airbag in an accident, where my nose took the majority of the injuries. After such force to my nose, I was left with two black eyes (on Wednesday). At the hospital, they immediately gave me ice packs for my eyes, though they really weren't bruised too terribly. After ice and heat alternation for two days, my eyes and the swelling look 100% better, but beneath my eyes is still a little dark and slightly purple. Is it unusual for the bruising to subside so quickly (not that I'm complaining)? Is is possible that my bruises could clear up for the most part by Sunday (turn yellowish, greenish, and fade)? How long does it usually take for black eyes/swelling to go away after trauma to the nose?

I was being helped off the couch and my friend let go.
They put me on flexeril and it doesnt work.
The pain is better at some times and worse at others.
The pain gets to the point i cant stand and i get stuck in a bent over position.
I try to lay down and it doesnt help.
I cant sit for long periods of time.
My doctor i was at before i moved didnt even try to find out what it was they just gave me muscle relaxers and told me to take them.
My muscle relaxers dont work anymore.

For the last year and a half, I have had shooting pains in my back on a quite consistant basis. I've gotten used to them and can usually ignore them but in the last 3 weeks they have been getting worse and worse. Longer shooting, more painful.

Would the results of a basic blood test (for your annual check up) show or detect alcohol? If so, what would it be called on the results?

I have 2 swollen glands on my neck, one I've had for a few years and now have another one that just popped up. They are sore & tender. I don't have any other symptoms (except for canker sores on the right side of my tongue). Any clue what this might be?

I've been taking paracetomols and ibuprofen every evening, I've moisturised with peppermint oil.I've rested and raise my feet.When I get up in the morning I hobble around

Every so often, my ankles and knees cramp up. This causes a lot of pain for me and sometimes it hurts to put weight on it. There is more pain in my ankles than my knees, though. Sometimes it happens to both ankles, and sometimes it is just one. Before I thought it might be just growing pains, but I am 15 and I haven't grown in awhile. Any suggestions?
