General Health Care - July 2007

Earlier today while having a shake I felt small bumps in my cheek...they appear to be blood vessels that are pushed through the interior cheek lining. What is this, and where can I learn more about my options? Thanks!

Ok, I live in Hawaii (for about one month) and it is really hot. I am foruteen and I have a below the knee amputation on my left leg. So this morning I noticed that my "stump" was swollen and then I could not fit it into my prosthetic. Should I consider getting a new one, or go without it for a couple of days? Also what could be making my leg swell??

For the past few months (I would say 2-3), my left eye has been swollen. Then it got back to normal then got swollen again at least 3 times. At the doctor, he just said it was allergies and gave me eye drops. However, spring is over. I don't understand why my left eye is still swollen. I use warm compresses but it doesn't help as much. If I wait it out, it gets back to normal but then the next day or two days after, it's swollen again. It happens to my right eye to but goes away quickly in the morning. Could it be because I don't get enough sleep? Or is it just allergies? Could it be a possible infection?

So, I have a terribly bad sunburn on both my shoulders, though my left shoulder is worse, from being out in the sun for 8 hours.

My shoulders are almost a purplish color and my left one is all lumpy and disgusting from blisters. I don't mean one or two blisters here and there, I mean my shoulder is like, a lumpy mess. I can't sleep for more than a half an hour at a time at night because the front and back of my shoulders both hurt and it's impossible to lay down like that.

Does anyone know the best thing to put on a sunburn like that?

I tried some aloe vera aftersun thing, and it's not helping a bit. I also heard putting vinegar on blisters helps, but I hear it hurts really bad....

any ideas?

I have been icing it every night and taking analgesics, but it doesn't seem to be getting better. I injured it during a 10k run and haven't run since to give it time to heal. I also have been making an effort to not walk around barefoot as much, as I read that can cause strain on your achilles. Anyone know what kind of doctor deals with that? Is it a podiatrist?

I have a headache, but I can only find one paracetamol and one ibuprofen in my drawer.

If I take one of each, will I get the same effect as if I took two of the same?

is it something in the dna which transmits at certain times our bodies must break down? i was under the impression i could prevent certain aging, like using spf lotion. now i see that is not true, because i have used spf since i was 15 every single day and i have a lot of wrinkles. it seems compared the my peer relatives i am only 6 months to one year behind with my facial wrinkles because of the constant application of spf. whoopdeedoo.

One of the exercises I do is to do a half press-up, then move back onto my knees with my arms forwards to stretch my back, and then to move forwards into a press-up position again. I repeat this several times, but every time I move forward into the press up position there is a loud click in the small of my back, and I can feel it too. It doesn't hurt, but I am worried that I might be doing some damage. My back also clicks when I lie on my back and raise my right leg, but it doesn't click when i raise my left leg.

Does anyone out there know about backs? Should I stop worrying or should I see an osteopath or something?

I am living abroad at the moment, so it is difficult for me to get to see anyone.
