For years .. everytime I would get bit by any bug the little bite would swell up from the size of a pimple, to a dime, to a quarter, and at sometimes the size of the palm of my hand. By the next day, however, the swelling goes away. I even got bit on my eyelid yesterday and it was so swelled up , I couldnt open my eye until this morning. Is this reaction normal? Should I be worried about it?

The doctor says I might need an MRI. I just want to know what can be seen in an MRI that might be why it hurts so much.

I have 3 torn ligaments in my left ankle after coming down on the ankle while standing on a couch cushion. I went to an ORTHO yesterday and he told me that it was a typical ankle sprain and to do physical therapy for 1 month, 2 times a week. One of the ligaments is a complete rupture and 3 others are partial tears. I just dont see how this can be a typical sprain when there is a complete tear. I am going to get a 2nd opinion, I just wanted to post here and to see if i am on the right track with the physical therapy not seeming to be enough. i have done research online to see what the course of action should be, and with the severity of mine it says that surgery is reccomended or a walking cast. Has anyone had this happen? If so what was the course of action for you?

Sometimes I just suddenly get back pains, I might be walking then suddenly somewhere on my back starts hurting. The only way for the pain to go away is if i lay down. Like today i walked to the couch and the area around my tailbone was hurting, took around half an hour to disapear.
is it likely i have a bad back? also what can you do to take the pain away quickly?

I have had abdominal pain on the left side where my ovary is located for about 3 and 1/2 months now and the doctors have done numerous ultrasounds, urine tests to check for infections, swabs, a ct-scan and just about everything you can think of to diagnose me with something causing my abdominal/pelvic pain. It started in early April 2007 when I was diagnosed with a 4.6cm haemorrhagic cyst which ended up rupturing in the first week of June 2007. I thought the pain was from the cyst and so did my doctor and we thought that the pain would go away but it stayed. My doc recently had another ct-scan and ultrasound done which came back normal and has referred me to a physio therapist as he thought I may have strained a muscle in my back (I have had lower back pain - only left side since early April too). The physio said that I did strain a muscle in the back and have given me light exercises to do. I couldn't do some of the exercises as I had too much pain on my left side (ovary area). I went
