I have a history of hypertension, but this reading scared me. It's never been this high before. I've been dizzy for 3 weeks and my vision has been kinda messed up. Could I REALLY have a stroke at a moments notice?

Last night, I was shaving. I did not realize that my bug bite was still there and went over it with the razor. I ripped a small but considerable amount of skin off the area. I did not have a Band-Aid large enough, so after the blood flow slowed, I put gauze over it. I secured it with Band-Aids. Today I went swimming, but forgot to remove the gauze. I went to take it off, and it seemed to have started to heal TO the gauze. My mother suggested soaking it in the water. Needless to say, that did not work. Does anyone know how to remove the gauze without ripping it off? I started to do that, but that reopened the soar. Anyone who has had expirience with this, your advice is appreciated!

I have severe muscle spasms in my neck/shoulders. I also have peripheral neuropathy that affects my arms and legs. I have arthritis in my neck and lower back. I have loose ligaments in my shoulders that cause pain - and should keep my shoulder muscles strong to ease that pain.

Walking too much hurts. I'm told that lifting light weights can worsen muscle spasms - so can't exercise those muscles. Too much activity period makes me hurt worse.

Any suggestions? I'm on a ton of meds -one for tachycardia....so too much activity increases my pulse - and then I feel crappy with my heart pounding.

I got a migraine about 4 in the morning LAST Tuesday. I called my doctor (I don't have insurance). She said all she could do for me was prescribe a few Vicodin. I got these on Thursday. There were 12, and I was told to take one every 4 hours. Obviously they're gone now, but they worked for the time. Now I have another migraine coming on. I have the black dots in my vision, and my eyes hurt, I'm becoming more sensitive to smells, light, sounds, etc, typical migraine stuff. So I called my doctor today to let her know that it's still there and getting ready to come back with avengence. She told me that because I don't have insurance, she can't do anything for me. I asked her if she could do what she did just last Thursday, and she said absolutely not. I think maybe she thought I was just fishing for some more vicodin, but I'm not a drug addict, I just don't want my head to hurt anymore. I live on the Iowa/Illinois border. Does anyone know ANYTHING that I can do?

Anyone who has seen a doctor for back pain before:
I've had severe low back pain for 4-5 days and today it got so bad that I made an appointment this afternoon with my doctor. What will she do? Is it ok that I took 600mg Ibuprofen? I couldn't sit or lie down and it was getting harder to stand. Now at least I can sit.

I don't have insurance and would like to purchase but don't want to mention an ER visit for my gall bladder. I was told to schedule to have it removed but i haven't since I don't have the money or insurance. Can I buy insurance now never mentioning the the ER visit and then go back to a different ER when coverage comes into effect for surgery?

Please help. Also what are the chances of them doing an emergency removal with no insurance? I would hate for them to charge me $1,000's again to run test when I know what my problem is.

I am going to the physio again to ease the pain but i want some more ideas...

This happened in 2001.
Thanking you in advance

I guess that he was in a motorcycle accident and had to have his foot amputated. I am in a complete state of shock. All I can think about is what he is going through, what it is like, and how hard the rest of his life is going to be. What should I do? What should I send to him? I am completely confused and worried.

When I walk down on my foot I feel a sharp pain go up my leg almost to my knee cap. I do not have bruising or swelling just a lot of veins popping out of my foot (which is not normal for me). Someone told me it could be a pinched nerve, but I did not do anything to my leg. I have no insurance and was curious what I should do.

It has been going on for 4 days now.

Thanks!

Pardon the pun, but it doesn't take a brain surgeon to diagnose strep throat. I've had it quite a few times over my life and know that's what I have. I have no medical coverage and called a local medical clinic to find their fee's are even high.
Unfortunatly, I've have had this sore throat since Friday. My ears are killing me now and I still can't eat or swallow my spit (sorry). I feel better as a whole, but my head...my throat, it's not getting any better and now the ears. I need antibiotics. Is there anyway around that? Or any strep ideas that you know about would be greatly appreciated. I've lost 6 pounds since Friday. I feel wiped out. Please don't tell me to just go to the doctor, we can't afford it. Any antibiotic suggestions? Any home treatment ideas? Anything!???
