Sun does have benefits and considering we don't have sun in the UK maybe that could help. Opinions please. Thanks

Well, she said to put it on right away, then dont put anything on it. She also said that if I am going to wrap it up to do so as thinnly as possible. (I am talking about a cut that goes 2/3 the way across my daughters palm. It has stitches)


Why no more neosporin?

What type of doctor should I go see for the shingles? I've gone to my GP, and I'm beginning to believe he's a total quack for many reasons, which I won't go into b/c I've already gotten tons of answers on another question on those issues. Anyway, is there a specific type of specialist in which I should see?

I've had problems with my achilles tendon since about April last year. I've been giving it breaks where I'm not doing ANYTHING whatsoever, but when I go back to walking a whole lot or dancing (I do ballet, pointe, and tap) it starts bugging me a whole lot.
I went to my regular doctor in May when it first started hurting (I still don't know what caused it to flare up), and he said that I'd have to go to a sports medicine doctor who specialized in foot injuries since resting it hasn't helped.
I've cut back on my dancing (I still go twice a week like I always have, I'm just not doing all the stuff that causes it to hurt the most), and have wrapped my ankle in an ACE bandage when I'm dancing, and iced it down when I get home, but it still hurts just as much.
Is there a chance that I'll have to stop dancing for a long time (like more than a few weeks?) Or that I'll get put oncrutches or anthing? I realy don't want to give up dancing since it's the only exercise I get.

I put on a ring on my index finger last night and now I can't get it to come off. It only hurts my finger when I try to pull it off but when I leave it alone it doesn't hurt, so it's not cutting off circulation or anything. I tried vegetable oil, and soap and it's not coming off. Any suggestions?? Thank you!

I was in a car wreck in 2002 and suffered a traumatic brain injury. Everything works but I can't walk or talk plainly, and it hurts really badly to raise my right arm above my head. I've tried everything even getting in our pool daily. Nothing works. Any ideas?

I've had blepharospasms for 5 weeks. I asked before what i should do, but the only answers I could get were to see a doctor. This would be easy if I lived in France, Canada, or UK, but I'm an American with no health insurance. I am not asking how to get cheap health insurance or anything like that, because I am aware of these options. I just want to know what I can do about this, without help from a doctor or hospital.

My doc is switching me to oxycontin 40mg twice A day, Instead of me taking 20mg Of Percocet every six hours.

When You first started oxycontin, did you get "Loopy" or "High" when you started?

Im Asking this because when I first started percocet I was always out of it, and now I got switched to oxycontin, and im wondering if I have to get used to it like I had to get used to the percocet's. It only took my 3 days to get used to the percocet and t get rid of that "Loopy" feeling, but I just want to know if Oxycontin will do the same.

Thanks.
