It started on Thursday with just pain in the middle finger knuckle, but has now moved into both fingers. It's more of a dull achy numb annoying feeling. I work on the computer all day. Should I call my Doctor or try and rearrange my workstation? It really only hurts if I am using my left arm/hand...if it is just resting the feeling is not there.

Thanks!

Since approximately March of this year my eye's have been producing over exesive amount of tears or watery eye's. I have been to the doctor and have been perscribed with allery medicine. I have also been to the eye doctor that gave me eye drops containing antihystimes for the problem, I have also taken prior to going to these doctors over the counter medicine like sudifed, clariton and nothing seems to help allergy like symtoms of the eye. I would like to know if anyone else has this problem or anyone else experiencing this problem what they might suggust of their treatment of diagnosis of what this may be. I have a hard time driving, doing my daily routines with the annoyance that my eye's are always bubbled up with tears, and the contant wiping of my eye's making it difficult to function. "By the way the doctor did rule out sinus infection". Please advise.

I recently noticed a "buldge" or swelling in the front of my right thigh. There was no pain or discoloration at first, but after 4 days I'm noticing the area is increasing and a pain comes and goes. At times it hurts like I have had a tenus shot. Still no discoloration and it is not tender to the touch. Any ideas what this may be? I have not injured my leg (bumped it or anything) and like I said, not sure if it is swollen or what, but the area is definetly buldging. It goes all the way accross my upper thigh now.

The last few days our son has had them off and on but it is with a fever and he seems in pretty bad pain. More so that I remember with my own as a kid. the fever part leads us to assume it's a flu or virus causing joint pain mostly in his knees, calves, and ankles. Or are we off base? Is this a Dr. visit issue or should we wait a day or so to determine that. It's the fever that makes us wonder if it's more tahn "growing pains". And he is also adopted, so some medical issues are more of a concern due to the msyteries of his genetic background. Thanks for any help you guys may have!

How long do you sleep?
Do you sleep all the way through the night?

I can be beat tired and go to bed at 9pm, wake up an hour later feeling great, then up for about 4hrs, till I get tired again, go back to bed, and wake up at 6am. Then start the my day.

What the heck is going on? I am in my early 40's. This just started about 8 months ago.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I am not being disturbed when I sleep, I just wake up.
I just want to sleep straight through the night without waking up.

Pulled my shoulder out, working, thought it would get better, but now it sounds like gravel is in it when I move it. I did not tell my boss, because I have only worked two months on the job.
What do I do? My daughter tells me, that if I go to a Doctor, that then the company I work for can claim it is a pre existing condition. I really want to keep my job, but also do not want to lose the use of my arm. Any advise will be helpfull

I won't be off the prednisone until they switch me over to methotrexate and I know that I can't have surgery while on that.

Hi. I purchased on Ebay some tablets. (Colon Cleansing Kit). They turned up yesterday in an envelope, and inside the envelope is a clear bag which is sealed by a sticker with the name of the drug hand written on it. No instructions no leaflet nothing. In the description on e bay it shows a bottle of tablets, although the seller states he sends this tablets in discreet packaging. Would you take these tablets? I went to my doctor yesterday and he strongly advised me not to take them. The seller on e bay is being very awkward in giving me a refund £25.00. What would you do. I have tried to escalate a claim via paypal, and paypal says I cant do this??? Help please I am very confused and out of pocket. Remember this is just a clear bag with a sticker on the front saying a name of a drug. Thank you in advance.

Hey everyone, first time user here so please bear with me.

On my right hand side, i think its between my 5th and 6th rib down, there is a pain, it isnt there all the time, and when it is normally i can deal with it as it is a slight annoyance. Here is what i feel.

If i put my chin to my chest a sharp pain explodes in that area. If i breath in deeply i cough uncontrollably. twisting to the right less then 30degrees hurts and tot he left just over half way. Doctors have no idea took an xray but couldnt see anything.

Today, iwoke up this morning rolled over in bed and the pain exploded the worst i have had it, knocked me out cold. waking up again later moving out of bed was terrible, and i spent the better part of the morning coughing thick phlem. While normally i am extremly healthly. The pain has been with me the entire day and has crippled me.

Does anyone have any idea? any information would be helpful i am lost!

I have seen quite a few questions from American people asking about UK health care but what does it cost in the USA to get health care.

What do you pay a month/year
Do you get seen straight away, because you pay is your health care the best on this bases.

How do you get on if you cant aford health care insurance and you are poor.
