I just asked a question like this recently, but i have to ask to all of those that are diabetics or have to give themselves shots daily...is there something I could do to reduce the soreness. I have to give myself shots in the belly twice per day, it has only been 2 weeks,but i am sooooo sore now i can barely touch my stomach much less give myself a shot in it. I tried to inject my thigh, but i dont have any loose fat on my thighs to pinch so when i give the shot i feel pain, I swear, down my arm to my fingertips! It is awful! and I have only done that twice and now I am walking from a limp because my thigh is so sore. what can i do to reduce the pain, tenderness and itchiness of my belly now so i can keep doing the shots? I dont know any diabetics to ask how they do this to themselves every day. Please i would appreciate any suggestions.

I need to see a doctor about this infection I have on my big toe possibly an ingrown toenail, but how do I know what kind of clinic or doctor to go to? What does "general practice" and "family practice" mean?

I woke up this morning, at about 3:30, and I felt horrible. I am really light headed, dizzy, my throat hurts, my head hurts, and I feel like I will throw up. On top of that, I was burning hot and freezing cold at the same time. I feel better now, but still sick and its 10:00. Whats going on?

Is morphine less addictive than oxycotin? I only ask because I have a family member that has been on oxycotin for years (yes, obviously addicted) and her doc has now put her on morphine instead, and is making her take pain management classes. I'm not really sure if he's trying to get her OFF of narcotics or if he's just another quack.

I am taking some medicine for an injury and it says to drink it with 8 oz. of water. It also says this on my multivitamin so I was wondering if it really matters. Because some times I down it with a diet pepsi or some flavored water and I want to know if it makes a difference.

A couple of days ago, a yellowjacket wasp got stuck behind my sunglasses and stung me twice on the eyelid. ouch! My eye feels much better now, but it actually looks much worse. That eyelid is bruised and swollen completely shut. I'm singing an aria in a wedding tomorrow night, and I'd rather not look like i've been in a boxing match! Is there anything in addition to ice and anti-inflammatories that can reduce the swelling quickly? Thanks!

Please, if anyone can help I would be forever greatful. I was just told I have osteoarthritis in both knees. I was give cortisonce injections into each knee 2 weeks ago today. The swelling is the same. 3 days ago I was started on Lodine every morning for paid & swelling. The knees are the same. I am scared I have to cancel my July 7th wedding. I would never be able to stand for a wedding/reception. Everything is paid for. Also, my future inlaws purchased us a honeymoon package of 10 days in Italy to visit family. I could never walk the airport, let alone Italy. I don't want them to lose money but they did not purchase insurance. If I don't go, we all lose. The doc says if the swelling goes down, my knees will feel better, but nothing has worked. I've rested and iced both knees for about 4 weeks. If anyone can suggest something I can try or tell my doctor to do, please tell me. What is supposed to be the most important day of my life will soon be my worst. Thank you

I woke up Tuesday with a bite on my lower outside part of my calf that was red. It has been painful and kind of hurts to walk. It is now swelling to my ankle and there is a bruise about two inches all around the bite. Also, my leg is starting to hurt a little. Is this serious? Do I need to see a doctor?
