I went to er on 2 occassions a month or 2 apart. I paid all my bill for first one (which included my deductible) now I get a bill everyday I guess for 2nd one. One for 30 and one for 40 most recently and a call for one for 80....how do I owe 3 separate bills? Is this common?

I broke my ankle about 7 weeks ago, i had a backslab on for 2 weeks and a hard cast on for 4. I had my cast taken off about a week ago and the doctor at the hospital said that he was happy for me to bear full weight on it and to cycle and swim. He did not take an x ray.

I am bearing around 3/4 of my weight on my foot, but If I try to increase it, it kind of jarrs my foot and a big pain rushes up it. It is still very stiff and i cant move it around like the other one. Also still quite swollen.

My doctor says to just work with the pain, but is it ment to hurt this much? Also im a bit concerned they didnt take an x ray.

Any advice?
Thanks.

I have an old prescription of Ketoprofen 75mg (about 2 yrs or so old ) . Just wondering if these anti-inflam pills would still work and save me a trip to the Dr.

Just got back from a week in Cornwall and got a slight problem - On thursday I went surfing, and when I got back to the beach I took off my wet suit and applied a fresh layer of sun cream everywhere........ apart from my feet (mainly as they were covered in sand). Aside from the usual sunburn, they've also swollen and I can feel fluid sloshing about on the top of each foot down towards my toes - anyone else ever had this? I've been applying plenty of moisturiser, ice packs and taking anti inflammatories, but the swelling still doesn't seem to be subsiding.

Has anyone had this before and what have you done about it?

(And yes I'm quite aware that it was stupid of me not to apply suncream to my feet, so please no patronising comments that I should have done so in the first place - that doesn't help - hindsight is a beautiful thing and it's a bit late now to tell me what I should have done 3 days ago!)

I was without health insurance from September 1, 2005 until July 31, 2006. Because I didn't have continuous creditable coverage, can my current health insurance deny me benefits for pre-existing health issues such as high blood pressure?

My boyfriend just moved into a new apartment. He has never had any heartburn problems but recently when he drinks something late at night, he gets a weird feeling like heartburn. All of his drinks contain ice. Any ideas what could be causing this weird feeling? Thanks

I have trouble raising my arms and extending them too. Is CMP why I have such problems or is it my Fibromyalgia? I thought it was moving my muscles was causing the pain. So it would be the CMP, right? My boss told me to get the windex out and clean the glass cabinets. I went into full torso muscle constriction. I told my boss I couldn't do that ever again. She said yes you will or you will be going back to the doctor for a new note!
So --- do you think it's the CMP or the FM?
Anyone else have such problems...?
full torso muscle constriction...
I have this a lot!!!

I have a blister on my finger from Cryotherapy. It is large (1cm diameter) and purple in colour. The Cryotherapy was 8 days ago now, however the blister hasn't decreased in size at all. The odd thing is it now no longer hurts to touch. How long will i have this for?

I fainted because I took a bath that was too hot. I feel really tired and all that I want to do is sleep. I have only drank a glass a cup of water when it happened and I just drank another cup. I feel light headed and lost and all that I want to do is sleep, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to. Will sleeping cause me to not wake up?

If I were to only drink water for 4 days, nothing else and eat no food, I would urinate several times a day. That urine would be because of the water intake. Since water is good for me, why doesn't my body absorb and use all of the water? When we urinate our body is getting rid of bad and/or useless things. Isn't water the one thing that we need to survive? Why does our body get rid of some of the water?

Does this make sense? I understand about absorption of foods and ridding itself of the useless stuff. But why does our body not keep all the water we take in?

I remember walking in the kitchen and drinking a cup. The next thing I know, I'm on the floor and I'm surrounded by glass and my mother is freaking out. I feel fine now and I'm EXTREMELY confused. I still feel kind of weird and my left hand feels like It's not a part of me. I think I hit my elbow because it hurts and my head still feels weird. What am I supposed to do?

I suffer from GERD. I am on Prilosec OTC (twice a day) which my doctor prescribed and 400mg of Cimitedine (twice a day) which was also prescribed by my doctor. I have stayed away from EVERYTHING that the doctor's have recommended for months: caffeine, chocolate, high fat foods, dairy,high salt foods, spicy foods, the list goes on and on. I do not smoke or drink alcohol. I still get constant pain all the time. The problem is with my gallbladder and it over produces acid and that combined with the esophagus valve not functioning properly is causing my problem.

I can't have my gallbladder out right now. This same problem runs in our family, and everyone has had their gallbladder out and the problem has been resolved. Dr has already confirmed this is the problem, but it can't be done with the insurance I currently have.

I've tried: Maalox+Lidocaine cocktails, rice vinegar, apple cider vinegar, Vicodin, Tylenol, Benadryl.

Anyone have any ideas for stopping pain, so I can sleep?

I'm really worried what could it be? My right inner ear is a bit swollen but there is no pain. I was reading other people's problems and I think it's because I used a q-tip and it pushed the earwax in.
