A couple days ago my eye was hurting really bad and today it is swollen...the lid...i didnt get punch or hit or bit by anything, and i also noticed that there is a black dot on the colored part of it. It is my left eye if that makes any difference. Does anybody know what it could be? It hurts pretty bad! Any info would be great!

I'm fifteen and for about a month I have an odd sensation in my left hand pinky that I can only describe as numbness. It's almost as if my hand fell asleep, that kind of tingling feeling, but it won't go away. I'm right handed, by the way.

My mom had Carpal Tunnel surgery about a year ago. She was in her early forties, and has a history of severe arthritis since childhood (if that's important at all). For about two years before surgery she complained of numbness and tingling in her hand. Later on it turned to burning and shooting pains. It affected her forefinger, middle finger and ring finger. She never specifically mentioned her pinky.

I play several instruments, type stories on my computer sometimes for hours on end, embroider only with my left hand, and I'm afraid it might be something like carpal tunnel. My mom had surgery, and the sensations are gone but she cannot sew anymore and complains that her hand is weaker than it was.

Does it sound like Carpal Tunnel? What can I do?

I have had appendicitis but I now have a lower right pain in what seems to be around the same place the appendix was. It is almost as painful as the appendicitis was. The pain most of the time is nagging but can be quite sharp. Sometimes it is even on my left side. I had my appendix out about a month and a week ago. I have also not done a poo in about 2 days - not because I am constipated, I just dont need too.
Also I have noticed that my vaginal discharge is a lot and it is smelly. What is this?? Do I need urgent medical attention??

I've never had problems with constipation before, but today i just got it really bad. About 10 this morning I tried to go, and it hurt and everything, so I just drank some water and tried a little later. At about 2PM my mom went and bought me some prune juice, strawberries, and cans and cans of beans. None of them have helped. I've also had bread today. It's almost unbearable now am I'm scared to try to poop again because I don't want another hemmorhoid(sp?) because I've had one before and they're not fun. My mom also got me some stool softener but I haven't tried any yet. Any suggestions? (right now, it's a bit past 9PM and I still haven't been able to poop.)

Ok to make a long story short... in middle of march I had a Nuclear Medicine Scan to check the function of my gallbladder. It showed it was functioning at 40% -- so we met with a surgeon and booked surgery to have it removed. Late march I had my gallbladder removed. The next week I ended up being diagnosed with Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. Anyway, so I babysit for a radiologist and he was taking me home one day and we were talking about surgery and the NMS (nuclear medicine scan) and he asked what my gallbladder was functioning at and I said "they told me it 40% so thats why they removed it". Then he said "i read those scans everyday and about 30% is normal". So i told my parents but then we were busy and never really got around to getting back to my surgeon. Should I go see him or e-mail him. It just bothers me that he did the surgery when my gallbladder was fine. Thanks :)

4 weeks ago and then again today I experienced a crescent-shaped thingie in my right eye's peripheral vision. The crescent was full of shimmering lights. this lasts 15 minutes then vanishes. Tonight the crescent moved off to the right, out of my vision. The first time, I immediately got a headache and felt nauseated. Tonight the headache was fairly mild and so was the nauseous feeling. Have you experienced this? It is so weird it alarms me. I have a Dr.s appt on Tuesday. Thanks in advance for your comments.

I have seen my personal physician, a hand surgeon, a chiropractor, and a rheumatologist for this, and none of them can figure out what is wrong with me. I have been tested twice for Lyme, lupus, and arthritis, and all three have come back negative both times. I'm a 22 year old female with no history of severe injury or health problems.

Several months ago the joints on the left side of my body suddenly started to hurt. Most affected were my left wrist and knee, both of which have been injured in the past - tendonitis in my wrist two years ago, mild knee injury six months ago, but neither had given me problems till then. Also affected were my shoulder, elbow, knuckles, and ankle. The pain comes and goes in waves. Exercise and movement seem to make it worse, though staying still does not make it better. It gets worse all the time despite my taking a prescription anti inflammatory every day. The doctors have given me no painkillers. (Out of room for question, will add more details.)
