General Health Care - October 2007

And I have the normal soreness in my left arm (where I got it) but after about 20 minutes I also got a really bad headache, and have just been really tired since then. Also, I've noticed, that along with my left arm, my left leg and left side of my face are sore as well. Should I be concerned?

I'm thinking of getting a tonsillectomy because I get the annoying tonsilloliths. But I love singing and I'm worried about it effecting that. Does any one know anything about this and whether it does effect you in that way at all??

I am worried about whether or not they offer enough support to someone with back problems and whether the posture required for sitting in them for any length of time might contribute to back pain. Need advice. :)

I just returned from Romania so that may or may not have something to do with it. But it's like a tiny mouse that is trying to poke through the skin. I keep slapping it but it just keeps poking away. I'd shoot it but I'm afraid I'd blow my knee cap off.

I suppose I could go to the doctor, but I don't want to be percieved as a wuss.

Has anybody else out there had this problem?

My pain Dr put me on tegretol xr to start in a few days and I am reading all the warnings and freaking out.... if I decide not to take it do you think he'd find out by the random drug testing I get done at his office? I am on narcotics as well and get tested every so often. Does he just check for the narcotics or will he check the urine for the Tegretol as well?

I had a serious wreck 10yrs ago and fractured my hip in several places and had to have major surgery. The doctor told me that I would be more suceptable to arthritis. I am now 32 and have been having for the last few yrs or so pain in my arms and legs but only at night when I am trying to sleep. Could this be the onset of arthritis? What are the signs? Thanks!

I have been coughing constantly for the past two days. I have bronchitis, have been to the dr, and been put on cough medicine that isn't really working. All the coughing gives me a horrible headache, kills back, neck, and diaphragm, and has me almost crying afterwards because of the pain. I normally have a very high pain tolerance, but I feel horrible. I'm sick, coughing, can't talk, and achey. What can I do for the pain?

I'm 25. I am such a light sleeper. I cannot sleep with ANY noise present...if I hear someone talking in the next room (not even loudly), it distracts me and I can't sleep. My apartment is one the third floor, and if I hear someone talking in the parking lot, it wakes me up. The worst comes if I want to spend the night with my boyfriend. He snores, and I absolutely CANNOT fall asleep with that, and if I finally do, I can't stay asleep. Same when I travel with friends and share a hotel room.

When noise happens when I want to sleep, I feel myself getting very irritated/aggitated. I can only focus on the sound. And I can't sleep.

I'm at my wits end. I don't want this to continue; if I get married at some point I don't want to have to sleep in another room.

I don't want to take sleeping pills if at all possible. I'm just wondering if anyone has a similar problem and if anything as helped you. Any helpful suggestions are welcome. This really impairs my life, and I'm sick of it.

What should I do to stop the pain and make it heal faster? Coz I know the nail is going to die, and I have to wait forever for a new nail to grow back.

I got my belly done about 2 days ago. Its perfectly clean. There is no pus, no redness its brilliant. But i just sterilized it then and now it is itchy. Not extremley but just itchy.What does this mean and how could I fix it. Also the Bar when i sit up the top comes further out of the belly button. It dosnt really bother me but it can get iritating especially when its a new piercing and its still healing so its sore.
