I got an ankle sprain today while playing basketball. It's quite bad. I came home and put ice for an hour then I applied "Deep Heat" cream and tied a bandage. Is there anything more I can do? I am also confused because half the people told me to relax it while others told me to walk normal(IT HURTS).

I was hooked on pain killers (darvocet and vicodin) for 2 years, and I am not going through withdrawal. I did taper myself off of them. Honestly, I never took more than I should, I just took them around the clock pretty much. Unless I was sleeping. I know I am doing the right thing but I am real anxious and easily agitated. Anyone else go through this?

So i worked for a company for 10 years and 1 year ago i was in a car accident. I hurt my right shoulder, neck, and arm.I also had a slight concushion. I tried to work but couldnt.To much pain. So my doctor put me out. SO i took a medical leave of absence which is 3 months at my work. Then when that expired I took a personal leave which I thought was a year but is only 6 months. The entire time I'm out I going to mri's, pt and doctors appointments. Getting injections etc etc. So I go to return to work 7 months after the accident.The weekend before I'm in another accident.Oh both not my fault.Honestly.This one would be worst than the last.So I have a bulge in my neck and a hurnation in my low back and pain down right leg.can barely stand.
So now.I have been out of work for 1 year and my work has termed me.They say I can come back but with a lower rate of pay.Kinda sucks since I was in accidents and didnt leave on my own.The questions is can they do this even know I have Dr's notes???

He's had a cough for 3-4 months now. It's pretty bad, but he refuses to go to the doctors. I've tried everything I can think of to get him there. But he just told me he's fine and refused to go. Is it worth me persisting, or should I let him do what he wants.

when you get knocked out during surgery with gas or iv in oral surgery, do they wait till you go to sleep to give you the anesthetic before or after you go to sleep, because im terrified about needles

So many people dispose of unwanted drugs this way, plus what passes through their bodies. I understand all water goes to the purification plants only to be re-cycled back into our homes. How do we know if we are being affected? What checks are done? This is one of the reasons I will only drink bottled water.

I'm hoping to repierce my nose. This will be my 8th time. Everytime I repierce it, the pain increases. since my third one, it hurt like a mother. lol. I was hoping, therefore, to use a numbing cream because I cannot take the same pain anymore.

If it is good, I want to use it for my tattoo too! :) Please help me!!!

Do you know any numbing cream that will totally numb my nose? lol (the numbing cream i was last recommended to only numbed my outer skin...)

the day before yesterday in the pool i think i twisted my ankle, but when i got out it just felt weak but didnt hurt. yesterday i woke up and it hurt to walk and it was swollen but no bruising so my mom said to put my ankle support on and carried on limping, today i have woken up and it had swollen again and i can barely walk without my ankle support, and is painful to walk even with my ankle support on, so i have iced it and the swelling has gone down, but it feels like its getting worse, should i go to the doctors or ER, or just leave it to heal on its own????
by the way i'm 13,

My teen son has had xrays, now they want a bone scan. When he stands too long it bothers him too. Could this also be apart of growing pains?

OK. DONT LECTURE ME... MK?
people make mistakes. and its been about 8 months since i cut, so im pretty much clean now. (&& also in those 8 months, i got lectured 24/7 from my parents, harassed& picked on at school, lost friends... mk? so i dont need more.)


but how do you get rid of scars from cutting?
-its been about 8 months& i can still see them (less visible, but still can see them)
-i kinda use Dr. Varon's Scar Treatment thing, but not so often, because it brings bad memories... /:
-and just wondering- when are they gonna be gone for good? its been 8 months... >_<
-what can i do other than wearing bracelets/jacket/medicene?


thanks guys <3
