A small insect flew into my eye yesterday and I got him out but today my eye is very red and irritated. How can I best get rid of the redness? I know Visine gets the red out but is that the best thing to use?

my boyfriend will start truck driving school soon. I'm really worried that his back won't be able to take it. He has bulging disk in between his shoulder blades and another one in his lower back, will this affect him in the long run or short run? What I mean is will mess his back up worse?

im 14 and i have really dark circles under my eyes! i am going on holiday for 2 weeks to cornwall on thursday (2 days away!!) and as i cant wear makeup during the day (it will just wash off in the sea) i cant cover them up. i also have really pale skin so i look sooo gaunt and awful without makeup... i am currently putting on fake tan but i really could do with getting rid of the dark circles. i am going to bed early tonight but for some reason my body never seems to think i need mre sleep as even if i go to bed at 10 or 11 at night, i still usually wake up between 8 and 9 in the morning.. and this seems too early as it has resulted in tired dark circles. it also takes me around 2 - 3 hours to get to sleep at night and if i wake up earlier than i would have liked, i cant get back to sleep! has anybody got any idea on how to get rid of them (quickly) or how to fall asleep quickly? I REALLY NEED HELP OR I WILL LOOK AWFUL ON HOLIDAY! thanks xx

An odd question, but stay with me: I haven't had any health insurance for 7 years. Now, finally with a wonderful new job, my excellent health insurance benefits start tomorrow. There is so much that I need. When should I go to the doctor? I'm posititive they will find little things that I have had for a long time, but done nothing about - will they determine it to be a pre-exsisting condition? I mean, if I go the first day of my insurance, they will know that I had this medical condition before my insurance was in place - does that make a difference? I don't know how it works. Thanks!

I have a puncture wound that you can see my bones through, (I say that because you can move the skin and theres a whole lot of stuff that doesn't move with it and its VERY deep) even the next day. He hit a nerve because 2 of my fingers are really tingly. My whole arm hurts and I can't pick things up. It's bruised all around, with a few scratches on top of the hole.

He did it when I was giving him a bath last night, he jumped out covered in soap and I tried to grab him to get him back in quickly, I was a little rough so it is my fault, especially since I know he's a touchy dog.

my question is, should I go see a doctor (hes up on all his shots) and if I do see a doctor will anything happen to the dog because I go?

i guess i got a spider bite, bc my arm is swollen in a spot on my arm about 4 inches by 2 inches, and in the middle is two holes of broken skin
the holes are easily visible and are very red around them
it is very very sore

also, last night i woke up and i was burning, sweating, and dizzy. this might be related to the spider bite?
then this morning i couldnt get out of bed bc i was so disoriented


what should i do?
i dont think doctor is an option

The other day I was sitting outside with my legs crossed and my left foot went numb. No big deal, but when the numbness went away, it felt like I had bruised the outside of my foot, between my heel and pinkey toe. Mind you, I didn't do anything to bruise it, and there was no bruise. Thats just how it felt. By the evening I was limping around in pain, and the next day the pain moved to my heel. The next day to the inside if my foot, betweet my heel and big toe. Now today its back where it started at. Also, at night when I'm trying to sleep I feel this tingley numbness. Coul this have anything to do with my sciatic nerve, or not even close? I'm a bartender so its kind of a pain in the *** to be limping around, but I dont want to go waste time at the doctor for the to tell me they dont know what it is. I'd rather hear it from you guys...Thanks, hope to hear some feedback!

It is between a 1st degree and a 2nd degree. I burnt my arm on the inside of the stove door. It's the size of a deck of playing cards. I don't have money or a car so I can't go buy anything. But I need something to help it maybe something that I have here. Does anyone know anything that will work well and not make it hurt worse?

I was wearing jeans that were WAY too tight, because I didn't realize that I'd outgroown them. I wore them about 2-3 times after I outgrew them, and now the veins in my inner thigh hurt *really* badly. Is it a bad idea to rub my legs? How do I fix this? (Needless to say, I'm not gonna wear those pants anymore lol) Thanks!

My Husband insists he does not have it but if we are at the movies or driving long distances, I notice (or rather feel) him shaking his legs like crazy.

I am sure his does, but I haven't researched it at all yet.

I had never heard of this until rather recently.

Thanks for any responses.

I easyly throw my arm out when ever I play sports, especially baseball. After throwing my arm out I have this really sharp pain for about 2-3 days. This is a recurring injury everytime I play sports. Is there a solution so that this doesn't keep occuring when I play sports?

My dad has both of his arms go numb or tingly. He's gone to the doctors, they said he had pneumonia, then he went back again and they said he didn't have that. They did an ultrasound on him and not much became of that. I just don't understand why BOTH arms would go numb. Hes been feeling sick too.

Please don't answer if its not about this and you don't actually think you can help.

Thanks.
