General Health Care - October 2007

On Saturday night last i was out and got a vodka glass thrown at the back / side of my head it hit the part of my skull behind my ear. There was no blood just a bit of a dull pain and a small bump. i was pretty sore all day sunday with thumping pain but it went away by monday. Then monday night i had sex and just when i was about "to finish" i got this really bad pain all over the right hand side of the back of my head, in a bigger area to where i got hit, it went away after i had some sleep, no pain on tues or weds but last night i had sex again and just as i was about to "finish" again it happened again and now this morning i have woken up and the pain is still there. It is a kinda dull throbbing pain that kinda makes me feel as though i want to puke. Does anyone know what might this pain be cause i'm kinda worried there maybe a clot or something??? Pls no smart answers cause i am seriously in pain here at work and need to know whether i should go and see the doctor

I am 27 and am finding it very difficult to fall asleep and stay that way for very long. I work all day and I feel tired but I can not stay asleep for long and I keep waking in the night about 4 times I am awake and find it very hard to get back to sleep. I have also been on Kalms sleep to see if they worked for me but they havent and I have also had a full blood picture taken and nothing is wrong. Can any one help me please?

So I'm turning fourteen this Friday and for the past 5 to six months I have been getting joint pain. At first it started out very infrequent, and just dull pains I would complain about to my parents. They have progressively gotten worse however. My wrists and ankles had been hurting to the point of tears about 5 months ago, and was enough to distract me during classwork.
Recently my knees and ankles have been hurting similarly, at one point my knees hurt so much it hurt to walk. I regularly complain of joint pain, as it is always there dull and faint but I have spasms.

With my muscular pain it is in my chest area. I have had muscule spasms in my chest that has made it hard to breathe, and somewhat dizzy. It is not as frequent as it used to be, it is now once every two weeks. The muscle in my calves have also been starting to behave similarly, and I have fallen down due to them giving way under me numerous times in the last month.
Is this "normal"?

90% of the feral (wild) bee population in the United States has died out.

In the Netherlands bee diversity is down 80 percent in the sites researched,

and some "bee species are declining or have become extinct in Britain."

About a month ago, I was seating down normally and suddenly I felt a bust of tingling in my knee. It was like when a leg or arm falls asleep but only in one area and more painful then having it just fall asleep. Throughout the next hour, it kind of spread down my leg, like if a bug was crawling. When I woke up the next morning it was gone. It totally disappeared for the next month, but now it is back just in the front part of my calf. Whenever I get this feeling, it is always in the front part of my legs and never the back. Any ideas to what this could be?

I've had pain in my taibone for about 1.5 years now. I just turned 15 so I can't take myself to the doctor nor pay for it and my parents don't think it is serious enough to take me. I've tried sitting on my stomach all day for about a week and it did not help much. Is there anyway to make the pain go away permanently myself or do I have to see a doctor for that?

My friend was in a high school play. In one of the scenes, she gets slapped pretty hard on her right cheek. The play ran for 2 weeks. For the sake of authenticity, she left the other actress actually slap her. She says that to this day- the play was 2 yrs ago- she sometimes can't hear out of her right ear. Could the repeated slapping have caused permanent damage?

The other day, I had a hard heavy door to slam me in the head accidentally. The next day, I was real dazed and my mom said I acted like I was in la-la land. I was really dazed. Later, I had a headache that felt like it had a lot of pressure in it. When I was walking, I suddenly lost my balance and almost fell and just caught myself in time. Today, I accidentally got hit in the head again. I'm a little dizzy. I've been hit in the head twice. Concussion?

I've seen a lot of posts about similar things, but nothing seems to give the answer.

I've had a sensation that there's something in my throat, but it won't move. I've tried so much... Drinking a large amount of water in small bursts, gargling, etc. I've even gone as far as putting my finger down my throat to see if anything's there. (My gag reflex is a bit odd).

I haven't done anything out of the ordinary either. Could it just be an infection or something? or something more sinister?

My 13 yr old daughter has very thick legs from thigh to ankle and consequently her ankles are very thick. She tends to walk with her heels lopsided (inwards). After some physical exercise at school a few weeks ago she has hurt her knee, it is very painful at the back of her knee. She also seems to be flat footed. I am worried about her, she is in a lot of pain and can hardly put weight on her left leg due to pain in the knee. She wears very flat pumps to school which I feel doesnt help at all, but its all the fashion. She is tall for her age and is not particularly overweight. Am taking her to the doctor tomorrow, any help would be appreciated, thank you. I so feel for her. She will not wear skirts and it is knocking her confidence terribly.

I'm 16, a healthy weight, and I exercise alot (not as much as i used to though)

It seems almost every time i stand up from a sitting or lying position I get very dizzy and my vision goes black. I usually have to grab hold of something. 2 years ago I went all the way and passed out. My mum thought I was having a fit.
At the hospital all the doctor did was take my temp from my year and then sent me home.

Could anyone tell me what this is please as its rather worrying. Im scared i might pass out again

Thanks x

The side of my throat felt a little achy starting a couple days ago (Mon. 10-29) My entire throat is not sore. When I look in the mirror I can see a swollen gland on the right side of my throat that feels very irritated when I talk or swallow. It's probably 3 - 4 times its size. I slept with the fan facing me last night and ever since then my throat hurts more and my lungs ache a little when I breath. My question is.. what could this be signs of and should i see a doctor immediately incase its strep?

What is the best way to get laxatives OUT of your system? I've just come of my period and I usually suffer from constipation after. I had really painful constipation earlier it was so bad I had to take 4 really strong painkillers and it still didn't help. In desperation I took one Ex-lax (maily senna) and one Dulco-lax (luctulose main ingrediant) at pretty much the same time. And now it's kicked - I've gone to the loo - feeling much better but I'm scared of throwing up later. If i drink enough water will it get them out of my system or dilute them? Or is throwing up my only choice?!

Thanks!
