Please, please, please help!
I'm going home tomorrow from Uni and unfortunately I had a VERY drunken walk back. Ended up falling on the pavement and damaging most of the right side of my face. My cheek is bruised and also there is lots of grazing. My lip is swollen and cut internally. I also appear to have a very small chip out of the top bit of a tooth. It's not noticeable but I can feel it.

Yes, I know I only have myself to blame but it REALLY hurts. Also I’m seeing the parents tomorrow and I have a feeling I may be killed!

Any help to reduce pain and appearance of my face would be thoroughly appreciated! If you know how long I will look like this for would also be great. (Or maybe not so!)

i was at softball practice and we were hitting the ball, and my coach told me the next time i hit it to run the bases and they had to get me out. well, i hit it hard and starting running. i made it to third by the time the catcher had caught it. but then she dropped it, and in a game i wouldn't have run, but this was practice so i decided to go for it and ran for home. catcher grabbed the ball, and just as i went to slide, she tripped and we collided and i fell straight back hard with her on top of me (needless to say i was out, but that was the least of my worries at the moment), my butt hit first, then my back and legs. anyhoo, the pain was a lot, but i was tough and dealt with it, it was fine by the time i got home. well, the next morning it hurt like... a lot. it hurt to sit down, bend over, walk. anything. today it's better, but i still can't sit back without pain. my parents are out of town right now, and i'm going to tell them when they get back. what should i do?

Is it a poor diet or lack of exercise? I want to take a paracetomol but am not into pill popping.

I only smoke 5 a day but could this have contributed?

I am a little worried about this as I don't even usually get colds that much.

I got up to use the bathroom early this morning and on the way back to my room I kicked my 5 lb dumb bell. After swearing for five minutes, I just went back to bed the best I could. I noticed it was a little blue this morning before I took a shower, but it just seems to be getting more blue as the hours pass. I am just wondering how long is the pain going to last, so I will kinow how long I will have to limp around like a cripple!? Thanks!

I was working on my boat this morning and lopped it off below the second knuckle.

Do you think I need to go to hospital or will it heal naturally?

Not too bothered about the finger as I never use it and have thrown it away as I can't be bothered with all the "sowing it back on" business.

Is there any other reason I need to waste my time going to the hospital or will I be ok?

I had abdominal surgery 2 weeks ago today. The doctor's in another part of the country, so there is no follow-up appointment. He didn't tell me when I could exercise again. My stitches are dissolved and I'm moving around well, so is it okay?

Being late for an interview at the Jobcentre I decided to jog to speed things up and this caused my heartrate to increase and I felt a palpatation which caused me to have a panic attack and thinking I was having a heart attack called an Ambulance and was taken to hospital shaking & with a pulse rate of 110 while resting.
So anyone still think exercise is good?

I've been going to a specialist for my scoliosis since I was in 5th grade. I'm now 17 and haven't grown since at least 7th grade. Well last year I went to the specialist for my check up and my top degree was 43. He said if in 10 months it goes to 50 degrees i'd have to have surgery. Well just recently I went in to get it checked and some how it went down to 38 degrees. I haven't done anything differently. And I'm quite certain I haven't grown at all. So what is the cause for this miricale. I'm not complaining oh no I just want to kno how this happened and if i can do something to help my scoliosis more. I've tried the excersise and stretching and physical therapy over the years but none of it helped. well now that i haven't done anything it gets better. plz answer how this is.

Long story short: My friend was in a HORRIBLE car accident and ended up in ICU. He went into emergency surgery where they had to open his skull to releave pressure on the brain. He is responsive, talking and seems normal (which i see as good signs). How is the survival rate on this procedure?

This accident happend last night, and his 3 year old son was in the car as well. His son is in a coma and on a breathing machine. The doctor says his son might have brain damage, is this true? How possible is it he will be brain damaged for life?

I would appreciate all RESPECTFUL answers because I'm very upset over this. I need real answers, I am concerned and want to understand what is going on. ALSO, please keep these two in your thoughts and prayers because they need it! Thanks in advance =)

I know the wives tale that says popping joints causes arthritis, but I wonder if it wasn't just made up by people who didn't like the sound of it. Is there any proof that popping joins has any positive or negative long term effects?

I fell of my bike yesterday and grazed up my hands pretty bad,
I wiped the area clean with alcohol and pulled out all the gravel, and then got some gauze & bandage tape and have taped up my hands, and then re-applied clean gauze and tape this morning, they hurt quiet a bit and the skin looked pruny from being taped, should I let them breathe a bit or keep them taped till they heal?? (the pressure of the tape stops the grazes hurting so much) any adivce would be much appreciated :) thanks

About one month ago I badly fractured two of my fingers. I did this while on duty at work. I was put on light duty and went to the clinic my work uses on a weekly basis. I was told initially that the injury was extremely bad and it would take 6 to 8 weeks to heal. Today, I was told to return back to work for full duty after just under 4 weeks. I decided to get a 2nd opinion finally from my family doctor. He took x-rays and discovered not only that I should not return to work but that I should see a specialist because it is not healing well. The injury was a crushing one that shattered the tips and each tip is in about 5 to 7 pieces. The clinic's physician did not follow up with an x-ray and disregarded my suggestions about the pain and numbness. She seemed insulted when I brought up anything about a 2nd opinion.
It seems to me that she was negligent. If I was to return to work I could have done further damage. Should I sue her? Report her to who knows where?

I know it's disgusting, but I do bite my toenails and pick at them, but today I noticed that I picked at it a little too much and the nail is practically falling off the toe. I want to rip it off but I'm afraid it won't grow back - should I wait for it to grow and then rip the broken part, or do I just rip now and wait a year or so for them to grow back?

I'm very scared.
