Please don't preach about the whole "Dont cut yourself you could bleed to death" as right now I'm gonna get help for it. I've been cutting myself with an x-acto knife below my left thumb, there's about 5 cuts horizontaly, which I cut 3 days ago. Right now it hurts when I touch it, and I can see a red background over it. Please keep in mind that I always use perfume on my cuts and over the x-acto knife to dissenfect it, and I put a bandage on it. Is it infected? How bad is it to be infected? It is severe?

Does anybody know if it is seen as quite normal for my 4yr old to be suffering with cramp in her feet. (around the area near her ankle bone, top of foot). It really causes her distress & I have to give some calpol to help ease the pain. I seem to think that they shouldn't, but I'm not a doctor & the earliest appointment to see the doctor is 21st of this month. Thanks

My big toe on my left foot has been in pain similar to as if I stubbed it. I haven't though. This pain has been there for the last two days. When I pull the toe back, it hurts. Is this gout?

My cat scratched a mole on my neck. It bled a lot and it's like half off right now. I put neosporin and a bandaid on it, will it heal on it's own or should I go to a dermatologist?

I am 12 years old and I started having shoulder pain; about a couple weeks ago, and I'm not sure if it's a tear, sprain or nothing serious. It cracks sometimes, and then comes really bad pain, but I am able to withstand it. Should I see a doctor? I play softball, and I walk like 6 miles with a heavy backpack and a binder in my hand, could those reasons be why?

Two weeks ago, I fell down 14 stairs and sprained both my left knee and ankle. Last night, I fell out of bed and sprained the right knee and ankle. I can barely walk - the first doctor told me not to put any weight on the right leg, and now this doctor is telling me not to put any weight on the left leg. I'm on crutches - a wheelchair isn't an option with stairs and such. I keep falling and crashing into things, because my legs aren't strong enough to support me. I see a gen. med doctor on Tuesday, and the sports medicine specialist on the 18th. However, now both feet/knees are going numb/tinkly, and one ankle is significantly paler then the other. Is there anything I can do in the mean time to help with the pain, swelling, etc? I've been icing it. Also, any tips on how to get around the house easier?

So here's the deal, I've chewed tobacco for two years now and smoked ciagarettes for one year. I either smoke a pack a day or chew a tin a day. I know that isn't really a long time but I've been trying to quit for about two or three month now and nothing has worked. I tried cold turkey, and it lasted about a day. I tried slowly weening off them and it doesn't work. I can't afford the gum or any patches so that isn't really an option. There is a hospital near that is offering some sort of experiemental drug they are testing, haven't looked into it a lot yet but I know they pay you $170 and you get 8 weeks of addiction counseling (1 hour per week). I was thinking about calling up and asking about the program but I don't know if I feel like taking experimental drugs, I don't want some crappy side affect to happen to me. What do you guys think, should I do this program thing or should I try something else? Do you know any other good ways to quit?

They swell & turn blood red (sometimes almost black) they look like scalding water has been poured on them, from my ankles down & my toes & fill like they are going to blow off. I don't have insurance so I can't get to see a Doctor & somedays I can barely walk. I know I am starting to retain allot of fluid because my cloths & rings don't fit right anymore. What could be causing this; I am really in a tremendous amount of pain. I can't afford to go to a Doctors office & the hospital says I'm not criticle so thay can't help me. So what can I do to help my self? I even have been cking my glucose level but it looks good. Can someone please help. I have nowhere to turn.
