So I went to the amusement park today and after I came back, I was really tired and wanted to go to sleep but I couldn't. Everytime I laid there, it felt like I was still riding a roller coaster and my heart began beating faster. I also felt shortness of breath. What is it and what can I do to make that all stop?

My dentist said that my wisdom teeth are impacted and may never develop. And I'm not feeling any pain at all. Do I still need to get them removed?

im 18 and was injured playing basketball. i was using crutches and got off them about a month ago from a ankle injury. My ankle has been sore lately and i went and had it checked. my doc said i had tissue damage(probably my fault...sum times went to parties and places and just hobbled or used one crutch). He saaid i would have to use a cane for 3 months to give my tissue rest to heal. i got a black one and had to go to walmart afterwards. i walked back to the dvd's with the cane and overheard a group of teens making fun of my "old man' cane. what i wanna know is did any teen guys here ever use a cane or is there a more teenish cane i could get thanks...

I started with a sore throat a couple of days ago, and yesterday it got far worse. It's so sore I can't sleep, and lastnight a got a fever, and I've been sweating and shivering all night. My hands hurt, my feet hurt, my kidneys hurt and most of all my neck and head hurt. I was sick at about 3am and have been feeling really nauseous every since.
Is this just a bug?
No rash.

I play in a very sucessful Highschool Competition Marching Band and I am in the Pit percussion section, it is my second year in the band and I keep on getting these blisters on my index fingers from the mallets and they get so painful that I can't grip my mallets correctly during other practices this is really making me play less than my full potential. I would greatly appriciate it if someone could tell me a quick cure for whatever these blisters so I can get in full gear for competition season.

If you were to be smashed into something hard from backwards, or something hit you and your ribs broke, would there be a chance, or would they be able to break through the skin and cause an open fracture with the ribs sticking out?
As all of the organs are kept WITHIN the ribcage, they wouldn't be damaged right?

Has this ever happened to anyon? Or does anyone know about this sort of injury please?
What would it feel like exactly?

By the way, this hasn't happened to me, but i am writing a novel and need peoples opinions please!

I was playing basketball and this guy like backwards headbutted me, so it cut my chin that bled for a while, and my tongue bled even longer, but they both stopped, after i rinsed it out. But the problem is that I can't feel the right side of my mouth, and the part I can feel when I try to close it hurts, also it looks like the back tooth may have been bent/pushed to the outside. And the bottom of my chin that got hit looks inflamed. What can I do to make sure my face doesn't scar and to make sure my teeth are ok? And is it ok to go tomorrow to the doctor/dentist if I have to go at all?

Does anyone know of a specific case of spanking (with the had only) that has caused injury? Please, not like "yeah it happened to my friend once," but rather an actual, documented case. I'm having a debate, and this would help immensely! Thank you VERY much in advance, I can't find a case anywhere online.

I did it playing basketball last night. I came down on it wrong and knew it was hurt. I sat out for about 5 minutes and then decided to play more. I was able to play with a little discomfort. After the game I could walk on it with a limp. This morning I woke up and it hurt really bad-I can't even walk on it now. The swelling is on both sides of the ankle and on top of the foot. Is it just a sprain or possibly something more serious?
