I've got a drugs test shortly, but I'm on Solpadol for my back. Its legally prescribed. Will I get in trouble if I don't pass the test? Thanks.

Every once in a while, while I'm combing my hair (such as putting mousse and hairspray) my left hand tingles. Why is that? It only happens on that hand, and when I'm doing my hair?

Hi. I was wondering how long do these symptoms last? And how is the best way to go cold turkey? When will you start to feel better? How bad are the cravings for pills when you are completly off of them? Anybody have any stories about when you did it? Been off of them for 3 days...would tapering down still be a good idea when you had 0 now in 3 days? If so how many could a person have to start out with so that it doesn't become a problem again? Any advice/help would be appericated. Thanks.

It hurts so much that I want to go home after just arriving.....I have to wear a certain kind of shoes and they are ok, but my feet continue to hurt. Should I take some sort of medicine while at work or what?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have had severe headaches in the back of my head since March 2nd. They are not considered migraines by doctors. I have seen an immunologist, 2 neurologists, an allergist, a rheumatologist a chiropractor, plenty of ER doctors, an optometrist, and opthalmologist, a neurosurgeon and countless other doctors. Pain medications like Vicodin and codeine do not affect it. I have had a CT scan and 2 MRIs, all of which were normal (I have considered Chiari malformation, but my MRI/radiation tech doesn't see it in my film. I have had many blood tests, all returning normal(negative). I wore a neckbrace and took muscle relaxants for a week on the demand on my neurosurgeon. I have also had an angiogram to rule out artery damage. My mom wants be to try Botox injections, but they aren't proven so I'm not sure. Any suggestions for help?

Okay, weird circumstances.
Belive me or not, but I am clairvoyant (yes this plays a part in the question)
Now... I was talking to a close friend on the phone and I smelled alcahol and then instantly knew he had been drinking. I asked him and he confirmed that i was correct, directly after that I felt faint so I laied on my back, Suddenly I became....delerious and felt like sombody was holding my hand.... I swore sombody was there, holding my hand.... then the pressure spread over my entire arm and then i could not move my left arm. Then it felt like it was pushed down into the bed, then i could not breathe. the pressure spread over my chest all the way down my right arm all the way to my thumb. suddenly I regained control of my body and now my thumb hurts right where the weird pressure let off..
Things different aobut today:
I have had about 3 times as much sodium as normal.
I drank a 16 oz cappichino
And took 1/4 more of my migraine medicine than normal
had migraine.

Four days ago I smashed my finger in my car door. I was leaning against my car to move out of the way of a passing car (with my hand on the front driverside door), my body shut the back door with my middle finger sticking out so that the hinge side of the door shut on it. It immediately pushed it out. And.. it was quite painful.
So far I've tried to continue to ice it, and take pain relievers. Today there has been no pain, but I can still feel the pressure.
At first it was a very light blue at the bottom of the nail, with a dark blue spot in the middle. As the days went by, the dark blue spot grew and is now just at the top of the nail and past it.. The rest of the nail is a bluish grey color. My mother says it will be fine, but my father says I should see a doctor.

A child pulled on my earring and my hole was enlarged - so I've not worn earrings since because they are lopsided. Can I have my ear repierced and how long should I wait before having it done so that earrings do not just slide down the larger hole?
