Yesterday I snapped a bone in my ankle while wrestling.
about 1/2 hour after this happened, things started sounding really muffled, and I had trouble seeing things, and I felt like I was about to pass out. My Blood pressure dropped to 62/32, and apparently i got rellly pale. and i sweated buckets.

this made me curious. does anyone know why this is?

I am at the end of my rope, I can't take this anymore. I was in a pretty bad car wreck in Jan, in which I sustained a neck injury. The only problem is, it's all soft tissue damage. It took me six months to go back to work! Now, I'm seeing a neurosurgeon/pain specialist who thinks I'm a drug addict or something because of my age(22). This pain is ruling my whole life. My "pain doctor" won't do anything. There are days I can't get out of bed (today). I'm in tears. It hurts and nothing I can do helps. I've tried everything known to man (OTC) and still no relief. I am already suffering from depression because it all and I can't take this pain anymore on top of that. Does anyone have any suggestions? I know I could go to the ER or something, but that's only temporary and going into an ER basically for pain meds, tends to throw up red flags (I know, I work in an ER). Please help me!

I got my belly button pierced yesterday, and i had no problem with it beforehand. i wasn't very nervous, or scared cause i have no problem with needles, as i've had plenty. I've also had my ear pierced and i was also fine.

But yesterday, after i had walked out of the piercing place, and into the shop next door to see my friends, i felt really dizzy, my vision went funny, i couldn't hear, i thought i was going to faint, i had to sit on the floor of the shop and put water on the back of my neck and hold a plastic bag as i thought i was going to throw up.

How come this happens to me?

i had my ears peirced 3 weeks ago, 2 on my ear lobes and one at the top. a few days after getting them done the left bottom one swelled up. went down, with some extra cleaning and was no problem. yesterday in the matter of about 2 hours my top ear peircing swelled up to twice the size as normal, throbing away and nothing i've done all day has helped!
i've tried extra cleaning solution, surgical sprit, creams, sprays, salty water but nothing seems to help, infact it's getting worse! any one got any other ideas to help with the swelling?

anything would be helpful! ideally i'd like to keep it but if it has to come out its hardly the end of the world!
thanks!

When I was probably 10 yrs old I plugged in my radio by holding the prongs together. I was shocked of course. I remember seeing myself from up high, like I was floating on the ceiling and the light was very dim.And I was watching myself holding this plug into the socket.
My father was sitting on the couch back to me. I could see myself trying to call out to him, but no noise was coming from my mouth.
Was I dead? I never thought of it this way until I met a man who has died over 6 times, and he explained every one of them to me. One time he was in a car accident, and he watched himself sitting there, waiting for the ambulance. He was pronounced dead upon the arrival, but revived in the ambulance.

ive always heard that abuse gets worse the longer a person endures it, and this has proven to be somewhat true over the past few years. The reason i dont make a big deal out of it is because the intervals between each incident are so long-sometimes even a couple of years-that i usually forget how bad it was until it happens again to a worse degree. I got my first really bad black eye last week, up until now the bruises have been pretty well hidden and im wondering how long itll last? university classes start again on monday and i dont think concealer's going to do the job.

before anyone says anything, no i cant leave and no i cant report this person-hes a sibling. my parents take his side because theyre afraid he might 'get worse' ,so they turn against me instead. if i leave or call the cops i wont ever be allowed to see my siblings or family again.i dont want to worry my friends, how do i hide the bruise+make sure this doesnt happen again?

I was hit from behind at 70KPH and apart from whiplash, have a disc protrusion at C6/C7. When the pain is severe in the shoulder region, I have pains in my toes similar to my right hand, as well as very tight hamstrings. This is obly when the pain in the nerve is severe.

Is this normal for the Cerivcal area of the spine to cause the leg problems? I've only had a cervical MRI and nothing lower than that.

Is it caused by cervical disc/nerve root, or do I have something that has been 'diturbed' beneath this line?

Any answers other than telling me I'm an idiot will be welcomed.

Thank you....

I scrapped my forearm near the elbow and took off some layers of skin. My daughter cleaned the wound, sprayed with antibiotic, covered it with clean pad and wrapped it up with gauze ( ? ).Previous band aid didn't sick. After changing the wound several times in a week it still hasn't formed a scab. I told my daughter I thought I should leave it uncovered after sprayng it with spray skin. When I do it slowly starts to form a scab. My daughter says this is wrong! Says it heals better when covered. Need an answer!

Waring sunscreen in the house won't work cause aparently sunscreen makes my skin darker. Is it because i'm eating some certain food that's causing this?? How to i make my skin lighter?

All day at work today I have been getting pressure on the left side of my head that goes down to my ear. It's not sharp, but dull and constant. When I tilt my head to the right, it's VERY uncomfortable.

I'm not sure what this is, it's not a burning sensation or anything like that. It's like when you're in an airplane, just not only your ears but the left side of your head as well.

I've been trying to think about what could have caused this and the only two possibilities I have come up with are I had a teeth cleaning done yesterday (some of my teeth on the left side are sensitive) and I did a yoga practice yesterday. But I've done both of these many times previously, but have never had this problem!

Any advise, articles, and/or websites you can direct me to would be most appreciated!

Well, this is a very weird question. But, you know where the elbow is? What's that part called that's on the other side of it? Like, whenever you touch your right hand to your right shoulder, that body part that closes. What's that called? You might not understand. Say...you touch your fingers (excluding the thumb) to your elbow. What's that part that the thumb touches called?
