My neck area becomes itchy and hurts. It sometimes makes my skin rise up and look like small bubbles on my neck. I really am not sure what causes it. I think it just from the rubbing of my t-shirt and the constant exposure to the sand, salt, and sun. It bothers me like crazy and everything i tried to calm down the irritation doesnt seem to work. if anyone has very sensitive skin like i do and knows what could possible make the irritation go away let me know! thanks!

I fell over a ladder yesterday, where my face hit an edge of the ladder. It left a gash about 1/4 inch on the top of my nose, where you can lift up the skin. I dressed the wound and wearing a band-aid.

Should I pull off the skin to heal (will expose the open wound under band-aid), or keep the skin on top of the injury to heal?
Thanks!

Had a knee injury not to long ago. It recovered, to an extent, but still bugs me from time to time. How can I get my knee back to normal (or at least as best I can) without medications of any kind. I don't want to be reminded of this when I'm much older and don't ever want surgery. Has anybody had any luck with this and what should I do?

For the last week or so, when I sit, my feet and ankles feel tingly and heavy. It doesnt hurt, and when I walk around it eases off. It is particularly affecting the right leg. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi lads. If you had had more than one partner and 6 of them fell pregnant with your child and then all suffered miscarriages how would you feel? Obviously some of you would be upset but what else would be going on in your head?

Not a trick question to catch you all out - if you wish to remain private you can email me and I promise that your answers and ID's remain that way.

Only asking because someone I know has been with many women - 6 of which have had miscarriages yet he still continues to sleep around unprotected. Would you be so callous and thoughtless to do that or put it down to pure co-incidence?

Thank you in advance and I do not hate men - just want other men's opinions on this situation.

My cousin has gastric bypass surgery, and to get insurance to pay she had to go through 6 months of "medically treated weightloss", whatever that is, and had to write a long letter on why she felt she needed the surgery. She had to go see a phychiatrist for a evaluation, had to get a pap smear, and all kinds of other stuff. I checked with my insurance, and it covers bypass surgery. It just has to be pre-certified. Which any surgery I may have has to be precertified. So I was wondering since my insurance will pay, will I have to go through that long process too?

Im 22, not overweight but not particularly active. Some nights I can't get to sleep because my legs ache. It feels muscular and i feel the need to stretch my legs out (although this never makes the sensation go away). I can usually sleep after taking ibuprofen, what could this be? PS this does not happen every night

Hello. I just got my bill from an ER visit a couple weeks back and I believe it has some errors as I remember all the tests I had done but maybe I just don't understand the way they coded this. I plan on calling them Moday morning but was hoping somebody here might be able to help.

There is a charge for 2 PULMONARY DIAG. $184.00
--but they didn't check my lungs at all unless they are counting when the DR. used her stethoscope and listened to me inhale and exhale.
There is a charge for 1 PHARMACY $178.00
--but I wasn't given any medication - not even a prescription
There is a charge for 1 IV THERAPY $363.00
--would a foley catheter used for an ultrasound count as this? That is the only way that would make sense.
All my other charges make sense to me except there is a charge for 2 EMERGENCY ROOM $1,183.00
Why would it be for "2"? Does anybody know???

And it says "You will receive a serparate bill for physician services"...what would this include?
Thanks.

I have begun to get very stiff and sore in my hands, and think that it is arthritis. My mother has it in her fingers and they are very deformed and for want of a better word 'ugly' Luckily for her, she does not have any pain, due she believes to the fact that she was a knitter for many years.

I have noticed that my hands get very stiff upon waking and I am finding that I do not have as much strength in them. However, as I am only 41, I am hoping that there may be something I can do to prevent my hands looking like my mums, and as I am not a knitter I fear that I will have more pain than her.

thanks
