I fell last Wednesday, the 14th, after a bad ice storm we had here in MD. I slipped down 8 brick steps. My back, tailbone, head everything was hurt. It hurt as expected worse over the next 3 days. Then was feeling a lot better. 2 days ago my back starting bothering me again. Everytime I sneeze or sit the wrong way or bend down to far it hurts. How much longer should I give my back time to heal? Or to schedule an appt with my doc?

They've been pierced since the end of August 2006 and I still have my starter stud earings. It's my first and only piercing. The person who pierced them told me to leave them in for 8 weeks which is longer than usual. I spun them regularly and used the cleaner 3 times a day. My right ear almost got infected but I fixed it, and now it's fine. The problem is that I took them out on Halloween 2006 (after 8 weeks) and they hurt a little, but I managed to get other Halloween related earings on. At the end of the day, when I took them out to put the others back in, it hurt, but I got them in. Now it's been 6 months and whenever somebody touches them, they hurt. When I spin them, they're fine. When I try to take them out, they hurt. When I try to put studs in, they hurt, but they go in. When I try to put in others, they won't go in my right ear, it hurts too much, so I have to put the starter studs back in. Is 6 months too long? What's wrong with them? Please help. Should I give up?

I recently had a MRI and xray done on my back (referred by family doc) and it showed a protruding disk. I have been referred to an ortho. I started by seeing a chiropractor who also took xrays. If I remember correctly, he took xrays and said I had a bulging disk just above the sacrum. I would like to know if treated properly will I be able to do all the things I used to be able to do when I was a teen(32 now). I m currently trying to get into the Air National Guard. I have found that this diagnosis will enevitablly doom my chances of enlisment. Is there any hope for me?

My son woke up, yesterday morning, with a really swollen eyelid, and he does not have pink eye. The doctor checked his eyelid, and it is filled with blood. As the day went along, it filled more and more. The Dr. said she would drain it, today, if it was not better. It got worse, and more painful last night.

The actual colored circle is okay but the pupil in it isnt exactly in the centre... Its like slightly higher than it should be, and slightly towards to nose (in each eye)... Is this due to a paralaz error while I stare at my eyes,,? Or an I going cross eyed.?? I wear contacts a lot but give my eyes rest a lot... Soo..?

When I bend my knees they crack. People can hear it. It sounds gross. I have try glucosamine, but I noticed my knuckles started to look bruised. So I got concerned it was acting as a blood thinner.

Do you think I should see a sports physiologist? They don't hurt. Btw I work out a lot.

I suffered a head injury during a football training session 5 days ago. I got knocked to the ground and landed pretty heavily on the back on my head. I was pretty dizzy but I could still stand up. However I couldn't remember the fall exactly (brief blackout perhaps). It's been 5 days now and I still get some headaches when I forcefully shake my head. Should I be worried?

It's been 4 weeks since I had ORIF (open reduction internal fixation) on my ankle. I am still not putting weight on it and still have a cast, my question is, I still have swelling off and on, sometimes when my leg gets warm it tends to swell and make the cast tight, or when the leg is hanging down, which I don't do very much, but even if I am sitting and my leg is elevated at times it swells. I don't believe it is inflammation that is causing this. The ankle is sore, feels more like a bruised feeling, and that is off and on as well. Any suggestions as to why my leg is swelling? I am headed to the doctor tomorrow but still feel pain, I thought maybe she would xray it and possibly put a boot on and remove the cast, but I don't want to injure it again. Any suggestions or answers. Thanks.

I run about three to four miles a day, and by the second I have blisters all over my feet. Not small ones but large ones as big as quarters. I have tried different shoes and socks. Is there something I can do to keep that from happening?
