My husband has had a hernia in his stomach for a couple of years now. A couple of days ago, he was working on the truck. He had a sudden pain, now the hernia seems to have disappeared, he says his stomach hurts really bad for about two days now. Has anyone ever heard of a hernia disappearing or exploding. He says hus stomach really hurts, but I can no longer see the hernia!!

I have had two sores on the inside of my mouth for a few days now. One is on the upper lip and one on the lower lip, neither one anywhere near the other. Both are on the wet part of the lip, kind of near where the lip meets the gums. They look like canker sores- swollen red area with a crater-like white patch in the center. However, I didn't think that you could get more than one canker sore at a time. Also, when I kissed my gf a few days ago she says that she got a canker sore the next morning when she woke up- I didn't think they were contagious but I didn't think cold sores erupted that fast after transmission. Are these two sores canker sores or cold sores?

i think i may have "jammed" my finger somehow...its at the very top joint where it connects to the hand. it isnt swollen or anything, but it hurts a LOT and if i dont continue to pop it, it hurts even more. i was thinking about seeing a doctor, but im not sure if there is much a doctor can do...

do you think its worth going to the doctor for? do you think it will heal on its own? do you have any other advice that may help me?

thank yoouuu =)

One palm was just skin damage, but the other had a deep puncture in a half circle shape about 1/2 inch deep- down to fatty tissue about 3/4 inch long. It is on the base of my palm where all my folds converge, the cut is currently about a 1/4 inch gap between the two pieces of skin. I have treated it with neosporin and gauze, but I am thinking that it will heal with a gap/scar if I do not bring the two skins together soon. Help please. Thanks. p.s it has been 10 days all surrounding scrapes have healed except the puncture wound.

Hey guys! I'm a cheerleader & i have been tumbling for the past 3 mornings & my ankles are killing me! Today at practice I had my coach wrap them but, i still felt nothin but pain. It hurts really bad to stand on them (expecially when i tumble!) I stretch them REALLY good before & after practice too. My mom wont take me to the doctor because she says "all the doctor is going to say is rest on them." And of course, that's what I do all the time (except for when i have cheer) I don't know what to do anymore!!! Please answer if you have any solutions! Thanks guys!

I burned my left ringer finger just above my knuckle on an element in my stove (I know, smart right?). I know for a fact that it's third degree because it blistered something terrible and now that the blister has popped, it looks like there's a chunk missing from my finger and you can see another layer of skin in the middle of the burn (the whole area is a very bright red) and it's still quite painful. I was just wondering if a small burn can cause health problems? I know large ones (such as from fires) can cause a lot of problems, but I never really thought about the smaller ones until I got burned. Any thoughts? Thanks!

i hurt my wrist the other day, a door was slammed into it. Originally i thought it was just going to be a bump and it would go away. But it has continued to hurt and I don't think it's getting any better. There is still a bruise and a little bit of swelling. It hurts to the touch, and when i move it. What could be wrong?

My grandfather is in is 80's he fell and broke his leg this week. The tibia to be exact. The doctors say he needs to have sugery to put a metal plate in his leg to help strengthen it. My grandpa is is good health otherwise. He's not sick or dying or anything like that. the bone didn't break the skin so why are the doctors fiving him a blood transfusion? When he asked them all they said was " IT HAPPENS" and that he had a low blood count. What the hell kind of answer is that! Why would he have a low blood count if he's not bleeding from anywhere? Thye aren't giving him any answers. Is there something going on that the doctors aren't telling us? Is there a good reason for them to be doing a blood transfusion and al the other tests they've been doing if it really is just a broken leg? For some reason I think we're not being told everything. Please give any information you have as to why they would be giving him a transfusion for a broken leg.

The patient was admitted for lap cholecystectomy with the assurance of getting back home in 3 days. The lap cholecystectomy was followed by open cholecystectomy, the reason said by the surgeon was that there was found bleeding in the liver. The patient was otherwise very healthy, had no past history of any surgery. I want to know if the bleeding in the liver was a result of medical misadventure during laparascopic cholecystectomy by the inefficient surgeon and so a subsequent open cholecystectomy (which was a major surgery) was performed? The surgeon never owned up his error. The patient actually expired some 15 days later.

Has anyone here had this? And how long did it last? Is there anything else I can do other than put cucumber and tea bags etc. on them? The bridge of my nose is swollen and yellow too and it looks terrible. I'm supposed to be going out on Saturday but I'm not sure I want to if I look like I've done a few rounds with Mike Tyson!

OK so I cut my finger a week ago this past Monday. It got smashed/cut between 2 pieces of farm machinery. It was at the joint and only had to have 3 stitches. Dr said I could take my stitches out in a week. Took them out late yesterday afternoon and bent my finger and the cut is still 2-3 cm deep. Put Neosporin on it and a bandaide. Today went to dress it and looks like a reddish circle around the cut. It also is still pretty sore when a try to use that finger very much. They did not x-ray when they stitched it up, but can move my finger just can't straighten it out.

About 20 minutes ago, I hurt my toe reaaally badly.
I slipped on the floor and stubbed it right into a wall.
It is now black and blue and swollen. It also feels numb. It's burning really badly, still.
Is it broken?!!
I didn't hear any pop or anything but that sound may have been covered by my loud scream..
