What should I do to stop the pain and make it heal faster? Coz I know the nail is going to die, and I have to wait forever for a new nail to grow back.

I have never had one and he said "it could take a really long time to go away" I guess I should have asked him to be more clear.

I stubbed my toe the other day and heard a loud crack. It hurt immediately and has hurt to walk on it. My toe is very swollen, mis-shaped, and is turing grey, purple, and blue and the pain is starting to go up into my ankle. My husband thinks I broke my toe. Should I see a doctor since the pain is getting worse? Should I be worried about the color? Anyone else have this happen? Any first hand advice?

I am trying to stay away from the doctor as much as possible since we have a very high deductible.

Ok, for over a month now, I have had a ear problem. and Im not sure what it is. when I first go it, it felt really cloughed, so I thought it was just wax, so I went to clean my ear out, but nothing came out, but then blood came out. and now I can hear a piercing noise (like when you get blinded from a flash bang). and it feels cloughed. what could this be? and how can I cure it?

Ok so I (out of habit) pop my big toes, have for a long time. But earlier, I popped my big right toe, and all of a sudden my foot started hurting around my toe. Finally I felt around the area and found that the pain was coming from the bottom (of the top) of my foot, right between my big toe and my second toe. If I apply pressure there, it hurts REALLY bad! I don't think there has been much swelling, maybe only a little in that area and of my big toe, but only a little. I can't walk on it regularly since it hurts too bad to do that, so I've been basically walking on the right side of my foot. Oh, and it hurts to move my big toe. It feels fine if I don't move my foot at all. I don't think anything is broken because I can move it, but it isn't from a bruise. I've gotten bruises and this isn't one, this is an inside the foot kind of thing. Does anybody have any idea what this could be?

Just today I got the skin on the pad of middle finger partially ripped off. I cleaned it, folded the skin back into place, slapped a bandage on good and tight, and let it sit for several hours. When I decided to peek at it, I noticed something... Most of it had healed, but in the middle of the wound, there was a pocket of purple blood. I assume this is simply because it got caught up in the space between the skin and the flesh beneath it with almost no way to circulate itself. Is this normal? Should I remove the skin that was partially ripped, or should I continue with what I'm doing?

Around 4 to 5 months back , after washing my face I rubbed it a bit too vigrously with a towel so what happened was that I got a sort off surface peel off on the cheek on my skin also called as a surface burn , I showed it to the doctor he gave me some ointment which removed the scar temporarily and my college is such that I have to be long hours in the sun there and after about a month this mark showed again and since then it has been as such even applying that medicine does not work now , I havent got any other modelling campaign since then this mark is hampering my career . Please help me out i am in real trouble . you can see the pic of my burn on the following link-

I broke my inner Tibia in my left ankle 5 weeks ago, from being bucked off a horse.
A week later I had surgery. 2 screws.

I am now a stupid walking boot.

Because I have lost so much muscle, my docter/surgerion is having my do the ABC's with my big toe. Which does make me twist and turn and what not but I don't see a lot of progress.

I was wondering is there any exercises that will help gain back muscle.

I have tried walking with the boot (with crutches) but I'm afraid to put 30 pounds on my left leg (even though I'm instructed too.)



anything will help.

I am more terrified at the loss of work and the financial burden then anything.....does it really take 6 months to heal. I am a self employed cosmetologists. My last surgery was in april of 07 and things didn't go very well. they removed facert joints as well as decompressions and diskectomys, have had alot of nurve damage and am in so much pain that i can't stand it. I know there is alot of controversy over fusions with degenerative disk disease...your imput would be greatly appreciated.

I am still wondering if I should be worried about my leg. It is now seven weeks since I tore the muscle on a trip to France.
I have only seen a physiotherapist is the UK who got my foot back on the ground after 4 weeks. I still suffer with swelling which I can get rid of by elevating. But now I keep getting very painfull spasms. I told my physiotherapist who has now advised me to wear something tight on my leg. My leg was also cold and a different colour but she could feel a pulse. She has also given me a stick to try and get me to stop limping. I cannot drive due to the weakness in my left leg and it was too painful for my muscle. Is this normal in week 7?
