General Health Care - September 2007

I sometimes get this head pain,it's like on the outer part of the skull.My head will feel tender in the one spot usually about the size of a golf ball.It doesn't hurt badly but if I touch it I can feel the softness and pain from it.
Sometimes it's in the rear of my head and sometimes on one of the sides.I get this maybe once a week sometime every 2 weeks.
I have been to the Doctors and they find nothing.

Any ideas what this pain could be..?

Ok, I know this sounds weird..But lately when i press my nipples it hurts really bad. Like if I lean up against something and it touches that part of my chest it REALLY hurts. Ive waited like 3 weeks and it still has not gone away. Im to embaressed to tell my parents. So, Im gonna ask you guys first. Does this have something to do with puberity? Or is this a type of male cancer? Im turning 13 in a few weeks. Please help..Im scared.

I've had lots of breaks and lots of bad sprains and such, but I always "see stars " when it's a break. Why does it feel like it's burning also

I've suffered from increasing migraines & tmj for the past 8 years, which have been getting worse and worse, more and more frequent. . . I now take preventative medications which help, suffer from chronic nausea, experience periodic numbness in my limbs. . . the list goes on. So, when I went to a chiropractor and he told me he could cure me (eventually) I was willing to give it a try -- after 4 years with a neurologist and only treatment of symptoms, I'm willing to give anything a try. Well, on the 3rd day/adjustment, I left with a burning pain at my shoulderblades, moving down my spine. I went in the next day for my appointment, got an xray, an explanation about arthritis, and another adjustment that was supposed to fix the problem.
The pain is no better, I skipped today's appointment to give my back a rest, and took a muscle relaxant last night -- still in pain, and I am not sure what to do.

I tripped down a stair today. basically my ankle twisted on the side when i had low heels on. I think I heard a crack. After, I could and stil can walk on it. It doesn't hurt if im not walking/pushin on it. it is on the outside. Is this a sprain or break? It was only a little swollen, the size of a pingpong ball at most

I am a 25 year old male without health insurance. I think I may have a hernia. I want to see a physician to get a check up and overall physical. How much would I have to pay to get a check-up without insurance?

I drive alot around 6:30, 7:00 PM. I drive the same way every day (to get home) and every time I do it, the sun is always right in front of the car, next to stop lights, etc. I am really frightened about what this could be doing to my eyes. I am wearing a pair of pretty cheap sunglasses, but feel I need more protection. Please advise. thanks

Yesterday I was walking & accidently stepped into a fire ant nest. I have about 15-25 bites on my right foot. Once I looked down & saw the ants crawling on my foot, I ditched my shoe & ran dragging my foot through the grass. There was a lot of burning. About 30 -60 min later I got home & washed my foot with cold water & soap. I didnt think it was a big deal & didnt look into it more, but I put Lanabiotic (bacitracin, neomycin sulfate, polymyxin B sulfate, pramoxine HCl, aloe, benzoic acid, mineral oil, petrolatum, silica, tocopheryl acetate) on the bites the same day i got them.

Its been 1 day & I can confirm i dont have a serious allergy to fire ant bites but the swelling hasnt gone down and I havent gotten the pustules yet... all articles i read said that pustules formed about 30-60 minutes after the bite? I put bleach and water on my foot (perhaps too late to work now) and more Lanabiotic. I'm putting baking soda + water on my foot after the bleach settles in. What else can i do?

My grandmother needs a lift to move her from bed>wheelchair>other. She can't move on her own.

I would like to know how lifts are used to move patients. More spacifically, the piece used to support the patient underneath; like a sling?

I asked this before and got a few answers and tried them all with no luck. I have 2 young HYPER kids and I have no energy. I have tried over the counter meds, energy drinks, getting enough rest, the dr even gave me a prescription for provigal, 5 hour energy, everything I can think of. I dont want to spend a lot of money on some meds, people where giving me websites but they had meds for extremely expensive. I've tried monster etc. Has anyone else out there used any energy drink or med or something that really worked. Everything I have tried has not had any good affect on me and nothing gave me more energy. Thanks for any useful suggestions

When i was about 14, i went through a stage where i would have days where i felt at an all time low, and would cry and cry and days where i felt a little better. I think this was due to the fact i was bullied a bit at 14 in school and i felt there was no way out, cause the teachers were not doing anything about it.

When i was 15 and 16 and in my last two years of school, my confidence grew a little bit, and i just tryed to get through the day and enjoy having my friends around me and such.

Recently, I've joined College, and im not enjoying it at the moment. I don't fit in with the other people on my course and my confidence has hit rock bottom again. I feel really low all the time im there and i just can't talk to new people cause i think they will probably find me boring. Cause i have no confidence, Im too shy to talk to anyone.
I've been there just 2 weeks and im already considering leaving, i won't know what else to do. Why do i feel like this, should i go to the doc?

Years ago I spontaneously dislocated my shoulder while swimming. I've had a sore shoulder since, and with a typing position it just exacerbates the soreness. I've gone to physical therapy for the tendonitis in the shoulder as well as had a cortisone shot. The therapy didn't help much but the shot did; however every so often the shoulder starts getting sore and locking up again. I've found that a heating pad helps alleviate the pain, but a friend told me not to leave it on longer than 20 minutes because the fluid will start to build up and make it worse.

How long should I leave the heating pad on?

I took NyQuil for the first time last night to get rid of a cough. I thought it would help me sleep too. I heard it makes people drowsey. It had the complete opposite effect on me. I was up almost all night and now i am at work and i feel like i am out of my mind. I feel dizzy and lightheaded; like i am on drugs or something. Although i am tired, my body just does not feel normal. Is this a normal reaction? Has this happened to anyone else?
