I was frying something with cheese in it in the pan and the cheese just splattered to my finger. I washed my hand but now it gives me pain. How can I get rid of this pain? I put ice on it but when I take it off, pain comes back.

about 6 years ago i fell down the stairs and am pretty sure i fractured my ankle. i didn't have insurance so i wrapped it and stayed off it for about a month (the bones moved apart wierd when i put my leg out in front of me on the floor and turned my foot) and took pain killers. ever since then when it gets particularly humid or rains it hurts very bad. 2 weeks ago i took a really long walk with my kids (pushing a double stroller) and over worked my muscles. since then the bones in the top of my foot have been hurting when i walk without shoes on, and now the pain is going from the top of my foot up through my knee, working it's way into my hip. i don't know what's wrong here, and i just want it to rain and get it over with. is there something i can do to ease the pain until it rains? i can't take it anymore. will the doctor tell me suffer through or help me?

I dropped a small boulder on it. The one's you put around your garden. I cut the fingernail right back, because it kept snagging on things and nearly coming off, so I cut it right back and it is only about a quarter of an inch long now. It looks really weird! Should I just leave it alone now?

I'm sure I'm due for one by now but I am being pressured to go get one because I stepped on an old ear ring.The post went all the way into my
heel and it didn't bleed.My dad said it's not good that it didn't bleed.But I don't want to go tell my doctor I want a Tetnis shot cause I stepped on an ear ring.I wouldn't feel so dumb if I had stepped on a rusted nail.But it was only an ear ring post.Should I go right away because of the
ear ring or can this wait until another time?

For several days now I've had pain in my wrist--it's sort of a sharp ache that comes and goes, without any particular movement involved. I don't remember twisting or falling on it recently, but I do play piano, play tennis, and spend time at the computer. From what I've read though, it's not carpal tunnel--the pain doesn't radiate, there's no tingling in my fingers, etc. Right now I have my wrist immobilized with an ace bandage, which helps the pain, but does anyone have any idea what it could be? If it helps I'm an 18-year-old female.

It's fairly minor, it does not require surgery, but it is painful to lift the arm and it pops when I reach around my back from the torso to my neck. The trainer at my school tells me it's a Rotator Cuff Sprain. I'm looking for info on how long it will take me to recover, I have a scrimmage exactly 1 week from now. I've rested it for 1 full day so far and have iced it several times. Thanks for any help and info you can give me!

I have never been in a surgery before, but I am scheduled for a minor surgery on my right hand next month. My doctor warned me that there could be some potentially fatal risks for using general anesthesia which he says is very rare. My mom is a nurse and says she would prefer local anesthesia because she thinks it's safer. I am 18 years old and I am a little uneasy about all of this. Anyone here had a surgery with anesthesia? How does it feel when the anesthesia is taking effect? Were there any after effects? Lastly, would you prefer local or general anesthesia for a hand operation?
Thanks for your input

I just want to know how to take care of it?

yeah, i got a bad burn last sunday (todays friday) from screwing around with a friend, well long story short it was from a lighter that was lit for like 1-2 minutes, right on top of my hand, and it not really healing well. i looked on "webmd" and it sounds like a 2nd degree burn...yeah i know, im kinda stupid. but i dont want this to scar up too bad... so my question is; does anybody know anything i can do, besides going to the doctor, to help this heal quicker, and with out leaving to much of a scar?

I have burning in my fingers. I have stiffness and nothing is taking the pain away. What can I do for the burning and numbness in my fingers? Is this normal? My doctor won't tell me anything. I don't have an appoinment until September so I'm on my own until then. I'm having extreme pain and need a solution if anybody else experience this kind of pain?
