I was involved in a bad relationship at one time and me and my kids father got to fighting and he hit me in the eye. Well it left a dark mark under and it seems to get darker and darker every year I think I am a nice looking woman but that mark messes everything up is there any thing besides surgery that can fade that ugly mark or is there any home remedies for dark circles under the eye. I tried ambi already and I am not a rich person so something reasonable. I will really appriciate youll help.

Hi! I'm writing this for my grandmother who is in Europe, and as someone of you may know, its very hard to find a good doctor and very expensive to buy all kinds of medicine so thats why I'm here. I don't really know who to ask or where to look for my answer so I'm going to try it here and see what happens. About 2 months ago my grandmother broke her thigh bone( a little higher then her knee ) she fell, and all the doctors told us that her bone was not going to grow back together.... it did after only 2 months which I think is a miracle because she is 82 years old. But now, even though her bone is getting better and better with every day, her knee does not want to move. The liquid in her knee hardened and doesn't want to move at all. She started to massage it, putting warm/hot things on her knee, actually trying to move and bend the knee... but we don't know if its going to work or not... also she's taking medicine I'm not sure what's the name of it, but she takes it to get rid of the pain. ALSO a week ago she started to get this weird very hard to explain feeling. She says its like if you had a rope and you twist it around your legs really really tight and left it like that for a couple of hours. She says it burns and is very painful. Also she says the skin feels dry on her legs like her legs are drying out on the inside.... please help me, my mom, and my GRANDMA. :smile:

My question was not answered the last time.

Usually, they don't strip you in ordinary private hospitals in India unless necessary. Is it necessary to strip my friend for putting a rod in his lower leg where he had a fracture?

Also, I haven't asked him, but since he has a plaster on, does his attendant strip him for defecation? Does he has to be wiped by the attendant too? And does someone need to change his underwear too while he is in plaster?

It all began over a month ago when i was exercising doing some side crunches in the air (on a back extension machine). During the exercise i got some sharp pains in my lower left side. Ever since then i'm having a dull pain in my side daily and sometimes it is even sharp (rarely). My question is what could cause this ? and please don't answer if you are going to just say "go to a doctor". Of course i already have an appointment

Well I dont remember exactly when it started I know that it has been hurting for at least a month, see I do Capoeira in November I took a month break and started again last December, on the day I came back it was not really class day so we did not warm up and went on to kicking etc right off the bat.

I think this may have been it, my knee pain has been bad it hurts when I walk, specially when I bend down or walk up/down stairs. It also makes popping noises from time to time.

I feel like I need to go to the doctor and get xrays and an mri. Thee problem is my mom is not in a stable economic situation at this moment and we have no health insurance I asked her if we could at least go to a family doctor and she said maybe.

My question is, is there anything I can do to prevent further injury to my knee, and is it worth spending money on a family doctor who will probably tell my mom to go to an orthopedic surgeon or go to an orthopedist right away?

Okay i didn't get 2 finish that ?, but i found out that i have scoliosus around the end of last year and when they checked me out they said that my spine was crooked inward toward my back instead of straight. My back was hurting sooo much then so i kinda tilted my hands to make it feel better when i bended down for the doctor's. But now my back still hurts and when i bend down my shoulder's aren't crooked. My mom says that she'll only take me back if i swore that i wasn't faking my shoulder's. I promised her that i wasn't, and that i did it cuz i was in pain, but she says to give it some time if my back is lightening up. It isn't though, it hurts still. So what do i do, about any of this?

and the red has turned black? It's been a week since the injury. Should I go back to work tomorrow? Last week I went to work for four days and the foot got worse. Now, since Friday it is looking a lot better. Should I take a chance a try to go to work? My boss will be very upset if I have to loose time from my job which I stay on my feet almost all day.

I bent over to put my baby in his bed earlier and i had a very sharp pain in my lower back and it felt as though my spine kind of dropped (sorry its hard to explain). I layed down immediately and couldnt move. My partner assisted me to sit and walk downstairs but it took approx 30 mins to get up and come down. Its very sore and i feel qute stiff. If i try to stand totally straight its very uncomfortable. Has anyone down anything similar or have any suggestions as to what i could have done? Im going to the doctor in the morning. x

is it possible if someone who feels something hurting him once in a while and he says that it is his lung hurting him while he has some problems with his heart, b/c his heart has an extra "wire". After a month or so he feels this heart ache again but this time it's not for a while but kept hurting him. he went to hospital and told him that he strained a muscle from his lung. is this possible? or is he lying to me? please help me, i'm afraid he is hiding something from me since he is all the time answering me "i dont know" regarding his health issues. thanks

A few hours ago I took a nasty spill down some stairs. I was wearing socks and my stairs are carpeted. The corner of one stair hit me directly in my middle back and the corner of the other stair directly on the back of my neck. My head whipped back and hit the top of the stair pretty hard. Shortly after (winthin 5 minutes) I began to get a headache behind my eyes and nose...not so severe but uncomfortable. My headache has not gone away nd I have been getting slight throbbing behind my nose. Other than that I feel Ok. there is a slight difference in size in my pupils. I called a friend who said take 2 Aspirin every 4 hours but then I read about how you shouldnt sleep after maybe having a concussion because the head injury may be worse than one thinks. I have no health insurance at the moment so I would like to know what others would do or to hear about any information that anyone has on unequal pupils and what that means...

Ok... i hurt my knee in gymnastics, and the docs said if it did not heal right i would have to get surgery and get these metal things in my knees to make them aligned or something like that. The surgery is on wednesday, and I am really nervous!! can anyone help me feel more positive about this whole thing. I am in level 8 gym, and I am not sure if i should quit. I LOVE the sport but it is very hard on my body and i get hurt a lot. i.e. broken arms, legs, ankle... the list goes on... ALSO I am worried b/c I live in hawaii and if I go on an airplane will the metal dector go off when i walk through it?? Is there a document that enables me to be "ok" when walking through it when I co see my family in Italy?? Thanks you soooo much!!
