Whilst playing for my local rugby side recently, I took a severe blow to my nose which has damaged the piece of cartilage beetween my nostrils they have deviated from being in a centre position and now bend permanently to one angle.

It's quite painful and I'm having difficulty breathing out of the damaged side of my nose. Having spoken with my GP they said there is nothing they can do for me, my nose is fine and is completly straight, I seem to think otherwise can you give me any info or any advice on what to do next as I'm really quite genuinly in pain and feel let down.

Thank-you

it feels like everything I eat gives me more cramps.
Is there a way for me to eat food and not have it hurt in the end?

I am a fullback in football, and yesterday during a scrimmage I nailed a nerve in my elbow which still hurts, my right groin is killing me and my left hamstring hurts badly.

I have taken many hot baths, stretched, and have Myroflex on it now. Practice is at 6:00 and its 2:40 now. Should I take aspirin? Should I put on more myroflex. It hurts to run and I don't wanna look bad today.

I'm getting my industrial pierced (barbell gauge 14 through the upper part of my cartilage and then going through the lower part of my cartilage). What numbing techniques do they typically use if any? How badly does it hurt? I've gotten my earlobes pierced, but the cartilage seems like it would hurt a lot more. Especially seeing as it would be a 14 gauge barbell going through 2 parts of it.

I have been having alot of trouble with going to the bathroom (2). I don't know how to explain it, its not incontenence because, i don't have accidents. Its just that I can't feel when it is there to go. There is never any pressure, or just the normal "knowing you have to go" feeling. I haven't been regular in years since I started pain meds, but this is a fairly new issue. My surgery was almost 2 yrs ago.
I did start taking Methadone about 5mos ago, for pain, would that have anything to do with it? I asked my pain doc about it and he just looked at me, obviously didn't know what to say.
HELP please.

I recently have been noticing my tailbone has been sore. It almost feels like a bumb on the very end of my tailbone more so on the right side of it. I never fell but each day it hurts a bit more and feels a bit bigger. Any ideas of what it might be?

In tennis, I stepped wrong and dislocated my knee. When I fell, I caught myself with my hand. I was in so much pain in my knee, and couldn't see straight for a good ten minutes. They had the trainer come and help me up, check it out etc.

A couple minutes later, my hand was really sore. After a while, I couldn't move it from side to side. Within ten minutes It was bruised and I couldn't hold it up. I was in so much pain that I forgot about my knee.

About an hour and a half later, I had to go to the ER, I couldn't move my hand and it dangled weird. They said that I probably broke it, but wouldn't see it on the Xray for a couple days, the calcium had to fill in the crack for it to be visible.

They gave me a semi-hard cast to keep it stable.

Yesterday i was in excrutiating pain all day, today it is low, aching pain. Does it sound broken? Would I have been able to move it at all? Or is it common to stiffen up? I broke my arm before, catching myself as well.

What do you think

a few nites ago i got some sort of bite. i didn't wake up because of it but when i woke up i noticed it. its on the back of my thigh. at first it was just reddish (same color as a misquito bite) and itchy but didn't feel like a misquito bite and im noticing some little bumps under the skin where the redness is. the redness which is a little purplish now (color of a bruise) is spread around kind of like a cloud (not any shape but looks like it could be a type of cloud shape thing. its just confusing). there are spots that look kind of a little liek veins that are purplish which im guessing is the venom. theres also a somewhat large fang spot and im not sure if there are two because i cant really see it very well (i have to look at it in the mirror). my parents haven't looked at it yet but they think everything is no big deal. anyways i really am worried that it might get worse or make me sick. i HAVE had a few symptoms lately like headaches+nausia+exhaustion+fever and more. help!!!!!!!!

last night at about 9.30 i had a sudden, severe crippling pain in my lower right abdomen, this was twinned with urine tract pains similar to cystitis. i felt dizzy and was vomiting on and off until 2 am. At this point the pain subsided and the vomiting ceased, 12 hours later i feel ok, only a little fragile. my question is, if the pain has gone does this cancel out an chance of it being appendicitis? any help appreciated.

I recently started taking vitamins (D, C, and B6) and seen that my urine has turned dark yellow and smells. It's embarrassing to even ask but I don't know what else it could be! I drink water, tea, and green tea and I'm cutting back on soft drinks. It doesn't burn when I have to go and my stomach doesn't hurt. What could it be?
