General Health Care - November 2007

I was playing ice hockey & i hit a kid but then i felt a Sharp or Painful paint in my knuckle. The nail was bleeding , and the kuckle was swelling up. Later i went to play tackle football but i did nothing that would hurt my thumb. Today my knuckle is purple, and most of my nail is purple too. I can move my thumb slightly.

It is 5:25 in the morning. I have to be up by 6:30. I have been up all night working on homework, and I am still doing so. So: would it be healthier to get half an hour's sleep, or just to stay up until morning?

Last night while me and my partner were getting naughty! My heart suddenly started jumping in my chest and i developed a pins and needles type feeling in my chest, around my mouth and in my hands. My hands clawed up and couldnt straighten them for ages. The feeling lasted about 20/30 mins and it scared me. What could this be? Ive checked on low blood pressure, hyperventilation, and panic attacks but the symptoms dont match. This has happened on about 4 seperate occasions in the past 5 years.

While making the bed just now i snapped my long nail. It is bleeding and sore. I have wrapped tissue round to stop the bleeding but i don`t know whether to cover it and hope for the best or cut off the broken part. It is ripped a long way down.

I'm tired as hell, I know I am. I usually go to bed around 9 since I have to get up early, wake up again around 12, then again at 2, and at 4...but when I wake up at 4, I'm awake for a good couple hours before I finally go back to sleep, (usually around 6). Why does my body keep doing this? I could be getting hte best night's sleep but still have to permanently wake up at 4.

Tonight I went to bed around 10 and here I am, awake at 4. I mean, I wake up on average 5-6 times a night but for some reason I just can't stay asleep around this time. Help?

Growing up, I was always put to sleep in daytime; parents were drunks and it was easier on them to hollar @ me until I cried myself to sleep, my baysitter had 5 kids of her own, most of who were ill so she'd put us to sleep in front of tv for as long as we slept (6 or more hours). I feel like I am trained to sleep ALL day. Hubby says that I should just grow out of it, all of a sudden. We've been together over 15 yrs; he knew what I was like b4 he proposed.... Thanks for all clear understanding conversations on this matter, regardless of which way you think is best.

hi
ive noticed that my eyes usually get red durring the day, they dont itch but they do get alittle watery, mostly bloodshot.

i was wondering if it was the makeup i use? i get enough sleep so i know its not that.

can it happen from straining the eyes? im supposed to wear glasses but never do. could that be it?

anyway i just want to know if anyone knows what causes this and how to fix it. =/

thanks!

my friend is on social secuity disability and has Medicare health insurance, her daughter is on Minnesota Care, right now things are ok cause she is about $60 under the line of making to much for her daughter to be on the Minnesota care, from what I understand if she got a job and made that extra money each month she would go over the limit and her daughter would be cut off, I am also on social security disability and I know that the amount we get goes up every year, in a few years when the amount she gets from social security is more than the limit will her daughter be cut off or does that only count if she makes the extra money working? Sorry if this does'nt make sense, I can't think of how to word it.

My back never hurts me, unless someone presses on the lower part of it. Then it feels like they are hitting something, and the pain that I feel literally takes my breath away. As soon as they stop pressing on it, the pain goes away. It is only in this one spot that this happens, and it's an area about the size of a quarter. It feels like maybe there is something there about the size of a grape, but I cannot be sure. Has anybody else ever had this happen?

I usually have this pain in my hand (& fingers) that numbs them completely to the point where I cannot grab a pen but it is mild so I don't pay attention just shake it and let it by.
A couple of days ago I had it again but this time it was a bit strong, in the middle of school..I couldn't write properly and the pain lasted 3 hours. This time it numbed my ring and little finger.
I got home and told a relative and she said that I might be getting carpal tunnel..because she used to have those pains..Ive looked the symptoms and it doesn't seem to be the same.
Could it be serious?

They told me to take maalox and pepcid until I can see a specialist. Is there anything else I can do to ease the pain. It doesn't feel like it's working. I'm 20 with a 10 month old baby and a very stressful job.

The guy in the locker next to me takes one or two naproxen pills a half hour before our hockey games to help prevent pain from the contact. I was wondering if this would work and if there is any point in doing it. I took one before a practice once and it didnt upset my stomache at all so if it does work i would start doing it. I was just wondering if it is at all worthwhile to take the pills before the game to prevent pain.

Five days ago I fell down the stairs and twisted my ankle weirdly, it hurts when I walk sometimes, and very randomly like twice a day my foot starts hurting and the pain goes up my shin and into my knee, and when I am walking and it doesn't hurt it feels extemely weak. My Parents think I am faking it or exaggerating. Is this a sprain or break? Fracture? Thanks!
