General Health Care - June 2007

Whenever my mom walk or stand, she feel a very sharp pain just slightly above the knee cap and the lower part of the leg (excluding the feet). She also suspect internal injuries, which she is not very clear of what the problem is. She had already feel the pain for 1 month, and sometimes she has to raise her leg on a table just to control the pain for a while. She had seek many doctors but none can cure her pain. Even medicines like glucosamine sulphate and chondroitin sulphate can't cure the pain too.

Is there a way to cure the pain without taking any medicine but others? Is there any place in Singapore that has good physicians or doctors (beside hospitals)?

I snacked 4 beetroots yesterday.. This morning my poo is a raspberry colour (sorry for the info!)

Is this okay??
It’s never happened before...
Are you meant to limit the amount of beetroot you consume in a day?

A month ago my poo was lime green (not sure of the reason) is my body not digesting the food properly??

Thanks for all the constructive answers!!! X

OK so I cut my finger a week ago this past Monday. It got smashed/cut between 2 pieces of farm machinery. It was at the joint and only had to have 3 stitches. Dr said I could take my stitches out in a week. Took them out late yesterday afternoon and bent my finger and the cut is still 2-3 cm deep. Put Neosporin on it and a bandaide. Today went to dress it and looks like a reddish circle around the cut. It also is still pretty sore when a try to use that finger very much. They did not x-ray when they stitched it up, but can move my finger just can't straighten it out.

I'm on the computer a lot, and I have really bad carpal tunnel in my right (dominant) wrist. For the most part, it's just really annoying and stiff sometimes, but when it flares up (like its doing now) it absolutely kills. I try and wear my brace when I remeber to, but a lot of the times I dont. And also, I have to take it off when I type or else I can't type very well.

Is there anything I can do to help the pain? I'm a teenager, so big expensive bills and surgerys aren't really an option. So anything cheap and easy is good. Thanks in advance!

I dreamt last nite my house was caving into the basement, so like a dumb ***, I hopped up out of bed and took off running down the stairs to save myself from my house collapsing in on itself. I finally woke up with my heart pounding and out of breath. I dont know what woke me up, I am just happy I did.
I have very intense dreams and have slept walked for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid my dad nailed the door shut to the deck next to my room. He was afraid I would fall off the 2nd story and hurt or kill myself.
Does anyone specialize in the area of sleep walking or what can I do to get help for this issue. Its embarrasing. I am not really afraid, just ashamed of doing it all the time. Any suggestions?

About 20 minutes ago, I hurt my toe reaaally badly.
I slipped on the floor and stubbed it right into a wall.
It is now black and blue and swollen. It also feels numb. It's burning really badly, still.
Is it broken?!!
I didn't hear any pop or anything but that sound may have been covered by my loud scream..

I am 18 years old and my entire right arm including my fingers has been tingling and going numb for the past 16 days. Some people say it could be a pinched nerve. But I really don't know. If it is a pinched nerve, what are some cures for it? Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong and what I should do about it? Thanks!

My grandpa recently had his hip reconstructed, but a few days later his femur popped out. His wife said that they gave him amnesia medication so he wouldnt remember the pain they put him through at the hospital. Does this medication exist?

Both of the perscriptions expired in 2002 and on the containters it is said to discard after 2002. Would it be safe to use this pain medication now, in 2007, due to a new injury to my neck or would it be unsafe to my health?

I am a cna, and know the basics of sprains, fractures etc..
Not very good when it comes to my own son,,u know? Family is different.. Anyway,,my son came home from his fathers house today after a day at an amusement park. I called his dad and he said that two days ago (seems odd) he accidentelly ran over my sons foot with a racecar (toy). Today, on the side of his foot he has a good size lump, it's swollen all over his ankle, sore to the touch, hurts to move his foot and toes. I have given him a dose of ibuprofin, and have had ice on it. Should I take him in tonight? He's not crying, but it's obvious it hurts..Or should I wait until morning,see how it looks and feels,, and call his doctor?? What would you do??
I don't want to overreact,,but then again,,I don't want to underreact..INPUT ASAP PLEASE!!!
