If you dislocated your shoulder and didn't go to the dr would it start to heal on it's own? Obviously the pain won't go away for a while but how long do you think it would take to feel normal again?
Please SERIOUS answers only, no sarcasm.

I need them for my father. I think they only make it in the US. It's just $1 a tube. I'm willing to send the money back to whoever can help me with this. Trust me, if there was where I live, I'd get it from here.

I landed hard on my tailbone and lower back. It was super painful to walk, sit, or, stand the rest of the day. Today the throbbing pain is gone. Now it's a dull ache and nauseousness and I have a bruise spreading up my back. Any advice?

I was sitting this morning and eating my daily grapefruit when a seed flew into my eye. I think it cut my eye open and some of the grapefruit juice got in. My eyeball is bleeding and swollen to at least twice as big. I can't see anything out of it either. I was going to go to the doctor but thought I would ask here first to see if was serious enough. I am a door-to-door scrapbook salesman and can't afford a doctor! I think I might ride this one out.

Thanks for helping me out! I really appreciate it!

Just what exactly is 'cotton fever'? My son said that he shot drugs in his arm and a piece of fiber went into his blood stream.I don't buy that 'cause that would kill you if it hit your heart. So what is it and is it possible to spread it to my son.
I need some help fast. A VERY CONCERNED DAD

I cut my hand on a broken glass just over a week ago.
I had a really deep cut on the inside of my left index finger, right on the knuckle in the middle.
The cut was glued back together by a nurse, but down the inside of my finger I can't feel a thing past where the cut is. The other (outside) side of my finger is fine.
The cut itself seems to be healing fine, still a bit sore, but I'm unable to grip things properly and applying and stress to the finger hurts like fire.
Has anyone had a similar injury that's gotten better? The nurse didn't say anything about a severed nerve or tendon, but I've no idea how long I should be waiting for it to heal before worrying...

I am just now getting over a cold and when I blew my nose, both my ears were plugged with air pressure. I was able to get my right ear to pop, but still haven't been able to get my left one to pop all the way. I actually had been able to pop the left one earlier in the week and now it won't pop all the way. It still feels like there is a small bit of pressure in it. I have tried the holding my nose thing and it just creates more pressure, and also have tried the swallowing or chewing gum thing which worked for my right ear. What can I do? Or do I need to see a doctor?

It started to swell last night but it is severley painful when you barely touch it. How many days should I wait to do anything about it? Now, please realize, I am a very responsible parent, she just never gets hurt and when she does it is a doozy. I guess I am just asking for a parent (or mother's) opinion as to wether or not they would seek medical treatment or not.
Also, my daycare lady feels terrible but is was not her doing. My child was running in the snow and ice and she fell. How do I let her know that I am "OK" as a parent and I am not upset. She was really distraut last night about it. I tried to tell her it was ok but I suppose I would feel the same way. Anyway, thanks in advance for your answers.

There have been several members of my mon's side of my family who have had problems with their knees. A number of years ago my uncle hurt his knee. Recently over the past month both my brother and one of my cousins have both injured their own knees. I myself occasionally have pain in my right knee when bending it.

Is it possible for certain people to be more susceptible to such injuries because of genetics?
