i had a chicken bacon club from there on thursday July 12. It could be seen stickin up in my throat but it was way too far back to remove by myself. I went to the walk in ER where they sent me by rescue to a local hospital. Here they could not see it and sent me home tellin me i was fine. I knew i was not fine, i went to a ears, nose, and throat doctor the next day. He scoped my throat and saw the tiny bone stickin vertically in my throat. I had to have surgery on friday july 13. Can i sue, at least to pay for medical expenses!!!??? HELP

I was training yesterday and I twisted my ankle. When my coach put an ice pack on it, it burnt my skin and now it's rather painful. How can I treat the burn and my ankle at the same time?

I gave blood 11 days ago. A few days after I noticed a rather large bruise. It's about 6 inches long and 4 inches wide; it's not a solid bruise. It's become sore within the last 4 days. I can't bend it without it becoming painful. I've been told that my blood went under my skin. It took less than 5 minutes to give the pint of blood. What should I do?

I have been going to an orthopedic surgeon who has been give me tramadol and cortisone shots for tendonitis. I was told tramadol is non addictive. I am sick and tired of this approach since its not working anymore, its been 3 years. I told him i didn't think it was tendonitis, turns out its not. I had carpel tunnel in this arm 7 years ago and turns out this is what it is. I am going to a nerosurgeon now and am afraid of being put back on something with opiates in it since i became addicted to them and going through heavy withdrawl and start rehab tomorrow. but i am in terrible pain and am tring nsaids and advill. not working!! and advice?

Thats about it. All my 17+ doctors are sending me to Duke Medical Research hospital this fall. I'm only 17 years old and fixing to be a senior in high school this fall. It gets frustrating going to my doctors and all they can do is shrug their sholders at me. I have been atmitted to the hospital and have been rushed multipal times to the ER. You all must know what is like to not feel people understand you. Please give thought upon this matter. It would be most apprecialted!!!

I have been having knee pain. Went to the doctors and had x-rays and an MRI. Was told I have a torn meniscus. It appears to not be a complete tear. I am going for phisical therapy and it does feel better, at least the pain is not as severe.

Has anyone had this problem and if so what did you have to do? Surgery/no surgery.

When you have a node on your vocal cord are you unable to talk properly? Does it hurt? How long does it last?
I want to know if I have one as I've been singing for ages without warming up... constantly.

Now my stomach hurts in waves. Like will hurt for 10 seconds and then not for a short time. And when the pain does hit it hits so hard. Almost enough to bring me down to my knees. It hurts right around my belly button area. Nothin helps to calm the pain. What do you think it could be? PLEASE HELP....

I have cracked my acrylic nail clean from one side to the other, and my own nail has also split the whole way across. My nail is quite long and all still on - holding by the nail bed! If anyone or anything touches it, its agony. What should I do? If I cut the length the nail will lift from the nail bed, but the length makes it easier to knock it! Its all wrapped up and I am not touching it - any advice on what i should do?

My friend's 12-yr. old daughter got into a car accident 2 weeks ago & broke her arm. I just noticed that she was in the bathroom for a very long time & came out & somehow took the cast off her arm because she is emo & likes pain. Should we take her back to the hospital to get a new cast on her arm? This is the 3rd time she did this within the 2 weeks, & she did it 2 time before earlier in the week when she was at camp.
