where it is the pink part? My mom's pinky fingernails have started doing this. Like if you cut your nail straight across, with all the white tip part off, the white part is still on hers down in the middle of the pink part. Geeze this is hard to explain...I hope someone can understand and help me with this. At the moment she is without insurance so going to the doctor isn't an option.

About a year ago, I had woken up with excruciating pain in my back and down my left leg followed by numbness. When I went to the doctor, I had an MRI done and I have a bulging disk that is sitting on my sciatic nerve (L5-S1) and he suggested surgery. My leg no longer hurts, but it is still numb. I have put off having the surgery because people that I know have had back surgery and have had bad experiences with it. I don't want to go to a chiropractor either because I don't want the disk to mess up more than it is and I'm not in pain. However, I have been getting severe headaches that start from the back up my neck, and to the sides where my temples are. Sometimes they are so bad that they make me nausous and all I can do is sleep. It usually takes a good day or so for the pain to go away. I hate having headaches and I'm thinking that my bulging disk is causing this. If so, do you think this type of surgery is safe? I don't want to be paralized if the surgery goes wrong lol

...on Feburary 9th and I went to the doctor and he said that I'm not going to go blind. My eye was bloodshot red that night. It is just pink now. (it looks like I have pink eye). He prescribed me some eye drops so it wont get an infection. I have been taking them religiously. But now when I try to read things up close, it seems somewhat blury. But I can see far away just fine. What do I do? Do you think my eye will be fine? I was shot about 25-30 in the eye feet from the airsoft gun. PLEASE HELP!

I have a broken ankle and I've been using the regular crutches for several months, but I bought some forearm crutches in the thrift store. They're much better. I wish I'd discovered them earlier, rather than now when I'm almost off crutches.

It was actually a lap top that fell on my head (I know.... Don't ask how!!) and hit the front side of my head by my ear.

My MRI says i have a S.L.A.P. tear in my shoulder as well as a bone spur that seems to be fraying the supraspinatus tendon. however my doctor doesn't think that either one of those is right. is it common for MRI report results to be wrong???

I was sprinting and I had this sudden pain and pull at the front of my upper thigh. I believe it's called the quadriceps. I also got Delayed onset muscle soreness a few days after that.

I recovered from DOMS about almost 2 weeks later, but my quadricep is still not well yet, it's almost 3 weeks now. When I run or jog slowly, it won't hurt. But wen I stretch my leg (slowly) by pulling my feet up towards my back, my quadriceps hurt.

I will be having a selection in about 13 hours from now. Do you have any good suggestions that I can make it thru this screening session? I will need to sprint as fast as I can, which will hurt my quad, and slow me down alot.

Also, even if I get thru this screening, I will be entering competition early next month. Any chance for my thigh to reciver completely by then? or should I just give up?

Any methods to allow it to heal faster? Or for tomorrow, how do I make sure they don't hurt, or work well?

I had a fracture on my cunieform bone of the first toe and that has healed (according to the xray). But I had a couple of bones floating around near the navicular bone that they removed. But my toe still hurts. So I went back to the doctor and he said it is capsulities. So okay he gave me Reflan for a month - still have pain but not as bad with the medicine. My toe still hurts with pain radiating up - and when I walk - everyonce in awhile it will just give me a stabbing pain and I can't put weight on it. Can you still have a fracture after it healed?

I got into a motorcycle accident a little over 5 months and have some pretty bad road rash scars. Are there any techniques or products to reduce the look of my road rash scars.

When hubby started going blind the first thing doc says is take vit B12 at least until we find reason. Then I have prob (cubital tunnel syndrome) and surgeon asks me if other doc had me try vit B12. I am thinking B12 must help with the health of nerves. Can anyone tell me what this is? My assumption is that a deficiency of B12 can lead to nerve atrophy but I don`t understand the relationship. Please respond.

My nephew was shut in the thigh by police during a civil protest. A doctor trated his wound and closed the bullet wound, leaving the bullet inside the thigh. He said the bullet will eventually come out without further intervention and my nephew will be fine.

I've been playing for a good three months now and my hand hurts. Not the tips of my fingers. I have enough callises. But my hand will start to tense up really quickly and I can start to feel the muslces in my left hand starting to tense up like my muslces do after a workout. I also feel that my left hand in general starts to tense up.

Do you think working out my hand using the hand squeezer and doing barbell curls will help build strenght.

Well, it all started out 4 years ago when me and my brother were jumping off of swings. Yeah I know pretty dumb. But I did it and landed on the side of my foot and colapsed. Well, I couldn't walk on it for like ...3 months. In total it hurt for 1 year non stop. Now it hurts on and off but now it really hurts.I was in a different country and/or contenent and didn't go to the doctor. Pretty dumb also. Well, after that it hurt whenever I just hurt it alittle it would hurt a lot. I'm going to the doctor but I have 2 wait for my mom to get back from a trip. What does it sound like 2 u? I also heard a loud crack when I landed. Does that mean I broke it? Is it possible that I broke it and it didn't grow back corrctly? What should I do? Do u think it is serious? surgery? Im only 12 FYI.
