General Health Care - December 2007

The skin underneath stings, I was wondering if anyone knew of a cream to relieve the pain in this area that shouldn't normally be so exposed.

I haven't had regular coffee except decaf in a couple of days to cut out my caffeine intake, and I have a MAJOR headache that's lasted for hours. Any advice on how to deal with the caffeine withdrawal? I popped two Tylenol Extra Strengths a few hours ago, still hasn't helped.

Right eye lid swollen, I think it is pink eye. Can anyone give me information on how to deal with this, without going to the doctor, as I don't have the money to go to one. Your help will be very helpful.

Today when i got off the bus my left knee started to hurt really bad but my right knee was perfectly ok. At one point the pain was so bad i could hardly walk. It lasted 5-10 minutes and it went away but hurt when i went up steps. I could walk with no problem but the pain was so bad i could hardly continue. Now it seems to have come back but not as bad. I had wondered whether it was a nerve getting squeezed by something. Does anyone know what this could be? I'm 18 in case that helps.
thanks

My throat hurts to swallow, behind my chin if you squeeze it hurts, or if you look straight up it hurts. What can this be?

Recently I've started to feel a strange pain in the bottom of my foot. Every now and then it feels like there's a thorn in my foot, when there isn't, in which case it hurts to walk on that foot. Most of the time, however, when I walk it feels sore, and as if there's a rubber band on the bottom of my foot and it hurts a bit to walk. It's not an excruciating pain, but it's a strange feeling...I run a lot (after school, track, cross country...), in case that might help... Does anyone know what it could be?

thanks!

The pain was intense for the first 5 minutes, then subsided, but the swelling was great. It happened on the outside of my ankle, now both sides are swollen. Bruising left a few weeks ago. There is minimal tightness now and very little discomfort, however the swelling just won't go all the way down. Could this just be a 3rd degree sprain and I'm being to impatient for it to fully heal? In the past when I've sprained an ankle, it's never taken this long, although the pain was greater this time.

A hammer just fell on my partner's forehead from 6 feet hight. He has a massive swelling (gold ball size) and was bleeding all over his face. He refuses to go to a doctor and I called nhsdirect, but they refused to give any advice until he is back with me (he is at his grandmoteher's house now).
I know that such accidents can be veryu dangerous, he might have a fractured skull or a concussion or some form of lesion, please someone help me to convince him that he needs to see a doctor.

My schedule requires me to be awake early, which I have no problem with, but what time should I probably go to bed?

I want to build the habit of waking up this early.
Thnks! =D

For 2 months didn't get period. Doctor prescribed Provera and I've had heavy blood clots, cramping, weakness and fatigue 3 days in bed before my period, and 3 days with the period. Now, my period is finished and it feels like something is grinding against my ovaries and I have pelvic pain.
NOTE: I've had 2 surgeries for polyp removal in the past.
I also want to get a hysterectomy at 40 (in one year) as this debilitating periods have happened to me in the past and I can't handle it and can't work, and suffer mentally and emotionally.

im one hell of a klutz... whenever i injure my arm on a door, my elbow on a chair, my hand on the corner of a table, my finger on a lock of some sort or whatever, i noticed that whenever my boyfriend kisses the injured body part, the pain seems to go away... is there any scientific explanation to it or is it possible that it's just all in my head?
*note: my boyfriend's not the only one who kisses my so called boo-boos... it started with my mom ever since i was a kid... and i really do feel that the pain disappears..

It just started and it feels very funny almost like when your leg falls asleep. The only thing is ,this is constant.
