I have been through a lot of meds, but did not find anything too helpful. I must say diazepam works a little.

Me and a kid were mucking round in his yard and i told him to put a apple on top of his head and i would shoot it off.
The arrow has penetrated his sholder entering from the frontal side of his body it went right through and got caught on the vanes of the arrow it only had a field point on it.
The bleeding has stopped and he isnt in much pain i applied a bit of antiseptic solution so it wouldnt get infected.
Will it need medical attention if we remove it or will it heal by itself. He doesnt want his mum and dad to fimd out.

Today i got this really bad nose bleed, I had to lean over the toilet and let it all drip out. this lasted about 10 or 15 minutes and the same thing happend yesterday. It has also happend a couple of times this year, last year i remember one. Im just talking about these bad ones I mean i still got a few normal nose bleeds but they aren't bad. These really bad ones started about 2 years ago, when I got my first really bad one it lasted about 30 to 45 minutes and that wasn't just dripping out, it like turning on a tap and watching the water trickle out. What is wrong with my nose, how can I prevent this from happening?

I have taken 2 vicodin ES and 2 aleve Together. My pain is still bad. I have knee pain and an infected toe nail. I have been doing epsom salts for the toe and hot baths for the knee. I am waiting for my insurance to kick in the beginning of August. Is there anything else I can take. All I feel is loopy not pain free. I dont want to go right now because then it would be a preexisting condition. What else can I do?

Am I the only one who despite medical proof, gets the distinct impression that both these drugs are near useless?

Everytime I take them I feel like I'm spitting on a forest fire.

Upper thighs are very stiff. Works out with walking but...too much walking will make them sore again. Sitting for just a few minutes, then upon standing they are stiff again....untill walking then they loosen up. Then again.....too much walking, they stiffen up again. It's a no win situation!! I'm very frustrated!! Have been to Doc, Epidural injections, MRI of back(which showed degenerative disc disease and inflamation, which brings me to the epidural injection that did NOT help) So now they focus on the Hips ( Thinking dear old arthritis), NORMAL! I did not pull a muscle, strain a muscle, or anything else having to do with hurting my thigh and/or groin muscle! (I'm celebate). So c'mon ya'll, diagnose me!

I live in BC, Canada and last night I woke up with a really bad bite on my hand. We've been leaving windows open because of the heat so I think it might be a spider bite. It was a white circle when I woke up and it wasn't too painful just VERY iritating to the point where I was almost in tears. I wasn't really sure what to do so I doused my hand in After Bite which seemed to work.. but now the side of my hand is purpleish and a vein on the side of my hand is suddenly very visable. Iv'e been looking for spiders in my room because i really dont want to be bitten again, the feeling was unbearable. Does any one know what kind of spider it could be or if it was even a spider?

I was out at an all day concert on Saturday and I think my lips got chapped. They are slightly dry and cracky. However, the things that is concerning me is I have what appears to be like a sore on my lips. I don't have HSV1 exposure as far as I know. My last test was 5 months ago. Could this be herpes, or does chapped lips have this symptom? It's not really a sore as much as what it would look like if you picked your lips.

Help! Urgent! What good anti-biotic medicines for burning throat are OTC and can be bought at Walgreen?

Hi all,

I just burned my throat. I ordered some food and I ate too fast while it's still very hot. It almost choked in my throat. But now I am okay. The only problem now is that my throat is burned. I feel painful in my throat. And I am sure it will develop into sore throat and then become inflammatory. I will have to see a doctor and take some anti-biotics. If I am strong enough, I probably will be able to go through it without seeing a doctor. The problem is that I am having a light cold these days. So I am actually a bit weak. I am not sure. Given my busy schedule, I don't want it to develop into inflammatory and force me to see the doctor. Could anybody recommend some good "anti-biotics" type medicines that are good for such burning throat and so that I can confine the sickness to a limited range so that my body can sustain it? Getting inflammation will be horrible. Thank you!

I gave blood 11 days ago. A few days after I noticed a rather large bruise. It's about 6 inches long and 4 inches wide; it's not a solid bruise. It's become sore within the last 4 days. I can't bend it without it becoming painful. I've been told that my blood went under my skin. It took less than 5 minutes to give the pint of blood. What should I do?

Hi! We do not have health insurance right now and my daughter has severe abdominal attacks. For two years, we have wasted a lot of time and money on doctor visits that have not helped my daughter.

Recently she had another abdominal attack, related to her cycle. She gets them so bad that she ends up doubling over in pain, and often gets headaches and throws up. What's worse is that she's extremely allergic to ibuprofen and/or Motrin, and Pamprin. She's also allergic to citric acid and most fragrances.

Another issue that we recently discovered is that when she gets these pains, her abdomen gets really cold while the other parts of her body is warmer, or sometimes it's the opposite situation (abdomen extremely warm, but the rest of the body is cold).

She's been to several doctors and has even had an ultrasound and gall bladder study. All show nothing is wrong. The attacks last up to 2 to 4 hours and then afterwards she feels fine. Any suggestions?

I was doing laundry and was leaning over the washer when I heard a pop in my lower back and excruciating pain followed. I also have numbness and tingling down my left leg all the way down to my foot. I can barely move.

My knee is killing me! I don't know what happened to it, and I don't know what caused it. If i sit down and don't use it, it's fine but if i move it, it's very painful. I can't get up without it hurting and I'm walking with a limp. I have a knee brace, and that helps some. Can someone please help me? What do you think I have, is it serious and can you please give me any tips to ease the pain. I appreciate it
