A few days ago while I was walking around in the dark, I accidently ran into a bookshelf and hit my nose and I don't know if it's broken. It hurt a lot for the first ten or so minutes, but it didn't bleed and it doesn't really look crooked. It doesn't hurt anymore if you touch it lightly, but if you touch it hard, it still hurts and there's a bump on the top of it. Do you think its broken?

I had foot surgery this morning and my doctor prescribed me with 10 tylenol #3 pills. I am in severe pain and these will only last into mid afternoon tomorrow. How do i ask him for more, i don't want to sound addicted or desperate. Also, i think i need something stronger, these barely take off the edge, how do i ask that.

Firstly, I'm 29 and this problem began when I was about 21. I am wondering if others with rls would say my symptoms seem to be like theirs. I would also like to see what anyone with arthritis thinks. I have always thought I must have rls but now am unsure because of the sensations some with rls decribe. I hear a lot of people with rls talking about twitching or "creepy crawly" feelings. That doesnt seem to happen with my condition. Mostly, I would describe it like a tight cramp which usually begins in either the arch of my foot, my calf, or the back of my knees. It spreads into a dull ache or cramp that overtakes both legs (usually both) that is only relieved by motion or massaging (and only temporarily.) Sometimes my legs do jerk as a way of responding to the cramps. It only happens with my legs. It also usually only happens in the evening. It has been alot worse during my preganancies.
Thanks. I will vote for good answer and give rating.

If I don't lay down then and sleep then I don't know what would happen. I almost instantly fall asleep and am completly out sometimes for hours. When I wake up my heart starts beating really hard and I have to relax until it starts regularly again to get out of bed. Besides just going to the doctor has anyone else had this experiance?

Please answer seriously, then I'll tell you why I want to know.

Also, those of you who may be reluctant to provide me with this information, please note: would you rather that I got inaccurate or potentially harmful information elsewhere?

an air mattress do the trick? I've heard about these rockers that pressurize and deflate alternate tubes, but that sounds like it would be difficult to improvise. We're looking at moderately long term care here, weeks or months.

Please give me a serious, accurate answer, and THEN I'll tell you why I'm asking!

if you have swelling in elbow like a torn ligament or muscle pull do you cold pack or heat pad for some relief.

I am in alot of pain and because of where they are located I get headaches in the back of my head that spread to my neck. My neck feels as if it get stuckalot so when I turn it it makes these popping grinding noises. the doctor who found them doesnt really want to do anything. He wanted me to go to physical therapy for 6 weeks, i did and I got worse. Other than that he has done nothing. I live in a small place and have insurance that is only accepted in certain places. What should I do?

It is always the same ear, and sinus pain around the eye on the same side.Also the nostril that side is always affected more if I have a cold.Its not just with a cold though it seems to be ongoing, is there maybe a deepseated infection?I have had antibiotic eardrops which seem to help while I apply them but it seems to come back again, does anyone have a diagnosis and any advice?

my 17 year old broke his radius three days ago snowboarding. he can move his arm and wrist fine without too much discomfort or pain. the x-ray didn't look to serious either. How long will this take to heal? is it better if he moves it? is it not as serious if he can move it? Would calcium pills help it repair faster?

I went to bed on Monday night with a bit of a headache and some face pain. Woke up Tuesday morning with what I would have called a full blown migraine- severe headache, nausea, numbness, dizziness, extreme tiredness. Slept until 230pm only drinking water nothing to eat. Woke up feeling a bit sick still but much better, decided to migrate from the bed to the couch. Layed on couch for 15 minutes, felt severely unwell, back to bed. Got up at dinner time really hungry, ate some steamed brocolli, cauliflower and carrot. Layed on couch. About an hour later had severe abdominal pains (like I had when I had appendicitis) and then got diarrhoea. Diarrhoea only lasted an hour or so. Pains much longer. Woke up this morning (wednesday) pains gone, nausea and dizziness gone, slight headache and still so tired. Should I hold off going to the doctor, is it just a bug or something else? I ate some olive dip that was reduced for quick sale on Monday could it be that? I also get migraines from food, I ate some steak on Monday night with a marinade on it. Can anyone help?

Oh and this is probably totally inrellavant but I have been having a lot of rib pain and sometimes when I breathe it feels rattly in my back.

For about three days i've had this annoying headache.

The first day there were just sharp shooting pains on the right side of my head around the temporal lobe.
Then it turned into a headache and has been that way for the past three days. When I bend down, or sit or move quickly it becomes more severe, and i'm concerned because i've never had a headache for three days straight.

I've rested and taken medicines but it does only so much and the headache comes back. Is it just a migrane or could it be anything else?

I have a pain in the area starting in my right lower back that shoots down to mid-butt cheek and goes over to my right hip.

When this happens I spasm and must look pretty stupid. It hurts like hell and I want it to know what is going on back there.

--It happened when I was roughousing with my fiance, and flipped him- I think I pinched some nerve, just because of the sharp way it hits me.

If you have any idea what it is let me know.... and I know I know it sounds like the answer would be the sciatic nerve, but it stays in that region, doesn't shoot down my leg, and goes right first.

Any ideas? Anyone? :)

2 months and 1 week ago i fractured and broke in half my tibia bone while playing soccer. The doctor's placed 4 long and quite thick needles in my bone. They where sticking out of my leg and where connected by this metal thing.It is supposed to hold my bone. Sorry i cant tell you what it is called because I live in a foraign country, it is mostly used for children anyway. Anyways today i went to the doctor and they took it off. Also, they put a cast on because i am going for a trip with my family. The doctor said its safer with a cast. My question is how much more will it take for my leg to recover fully so i could play sports again. I am 13 years old and i am 171 cm tall if that matters. Also everyday i ate a high dose of vitamin D and calcium and all this other crap for bones. Thanks for your help.
