i had a chicken bacon club from there on thursday July 12. It could be seen stickin up in my throat but it was way too far back to remove by myself. I went to the walk in ER where they sent me by rescue to a local hospital. Here they could not see it and sent me home tellin me i was fine. I knew i was not fine, i went to a ears, nose, and throat doctor the next day. He scoped my throat and saw the tiny bone stickin vertically in my throat. I had to have surgery on friday july 13. Can i sue, at least to pay for medical expenses!!!??? HELP

I have a constant headache, and it advances into a migraine. I get sick and have to hide in my room with pillows over my head. The headache never goes away completely, and I haven't found anything that offers any relief.

I just started my new job as an "entertainer". My legs are bruised and aching, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any at home remedies or "quick fixes" to either of these problems. I know that in time, my legs will grow stronger and ache less, but I have to go back to work the next couple of days and my body doesn't feel ready! Thanks!

I was training yesterday and I twisted my ankle. When my coach put an ice pack on it, it burnt my skin and now it's rather painful. How can I treat the burn and my ankle at the same time?

The pain (which is pretty annoying) is right in my stomach area, below my ribs and above my waist line. But when I push on MY right side it doesnt hurt....only when I push on my left side (diagonal-up from my belly-button) it bites with pain. Not quite sure what to think other than wait it out. I think it may have been my late night munchies with pretzels and cream-cheese wiz.....

I had a big hook nose like an eagle, and coudln't breathe either. I had the deviated septum fixed and at the same time asked doctor to leave me a big nose, like Kevin Costner or Paul Newman, and I even wrote : I do NOT want any kind of concavity. I hate those little skislope noses.
So now that the swelling has gone down, he cut down the mid-bidge too low, and I have a skislope curve that goes out into a sharp point.
So which is the best procedure:
Get some filler injected in the depression and built it back up?
Get a plastic insert put in the depression so that I could go back to a subtle hook? which I know is a rare request but it's what I wanted.
Get him to shave down the cartilage from mid-nose down to the tip to create a straighter line, or a subtle hook?
I wanted to keep my Indian nose, just didn't want to look like a hawk, but I really didn't want a pointy nose with a concave angle.
Also, how should I approach the Dr. about it so he'll give me a good price?

I have had strange health issues now for almost a year & none of the doctors I've been to see can pin down a diagnosis, despite extensive blood tests, x-rays & other tests. I have seen a PCP, a holistic MD & a MD of internal medicine, & an orthopedist. I have been tested for everything from RA to Lyme disease to TB to pinched nerves & every possible hypothesis has turned up negative so far. A lot of the symptoms are generalized--such as fatigue, chonic sinusitus, achy joints, chronic back and neck pain, stress & being slightly overweight. I went to see a doctor several years ago because of intermittent pain & numbness in my arms, from the elbow down to the hand. Over the years, it has increased in frequency & duration to the point that it happens daily and is severe. I also had a bout of internal eye inflammation recently & my ESR rate has been weird the 3 times it was tested. I've been told to wait to see what else goes wrong & then do more tests. Any suggestions on what to do?

Right now, I'm in pain. For about 2 weeks I've had this lower back pain. It's been getting progressively worse. It's really bad in the morning. Can't bend over to put on my socks or my pants. Can't bend over at all really. Later on, it starts feeling better. Feels good when I lay down. But when I wake up in the morning, it's hell. I don't have insurance so I can't go see a chiropractor. Does anyone else have this problem, and if you do, what do you do? Is it just my muscles? I don't work out anymore, I started a desk job and am still getting used to it.

I'm currently eating Glucosamine pill but am considering to apply Glucosamine cream to affected areas such as knees and fingers as an additional treatment to improve my joints. But does it really works? Any first-hand experiences? Please share with me.

My son got a wooden splinter in the ball of his foot yesterday evening. He is really reluctant to allow me near him with a needle or tweezers, so I need a method that is reasonably quick and effective. I do need to remove it as the area around it is turning red and he is having problems putting his foot flat to the floor.
