I thought maybe I could get a tattoo to cover up the scar if doing it again was out of the question.

If I swallow a chewable pill (vitamins, tums, etc.) will it be as effective as if it had been chewed?

I am a Registered Disabled Pensioner who is being told to leave my present doctor's practice. I cannot always get to the surgery or hospital because of my on-going long-term illness that these doctors are aware of! It is unpredictable, in as much as it is worse on some days and restricts me to my home if not my bed.
There is no-way that I can get to any other surgery in the town,as most of the other surgeries are too far for me to travel.Most of the buses don't have access for wheelchairs. This area is THE ONLY place that has all the amenities/facilities that I need to use!!
Can I insist that I stay with my present doctor's practice?
Is there any bodies that I can appeal to for help in this matter. I feel I am being treating most unfairly. Any thoughts on this matter/opinions, will be most welcome....Thank You!!

how come when you shine a flashlight or something bright in your eyes, you continue to see the shadow of the image when you blink?

I have been having a greater amount of problems with my sinuses. I am unable to find allergy symptoms that match what I am experiencing.
My eyes get very dry and itchy. My sinuses dry out and become very thick. Not much sneezing. My eyes also becomed very sensitive to light when my sinuses are swollen. Postnasal drip. Even though the symptoms don't quite match could this be allergies. I have had this problem for many years.
I just went to my doctor and she is treating me for allergies initially but the info I get online doesn't jive.

The bump goes away sometimes, and it seems like it inflames when it gets irratated when I eat certain foods.

I had strep throat about two months ago. since that time my one tonsil has been puffy. I took antibiotics and finished all of them, but this weekend I was poking at the tonsil with a q-tip and pushed really hard on it and it exploded Puss. I don't have a fever, It doesn't hurt, No glands are sore. Do Tonsils just hold puss? why woudn't I feel like it was infected. Should I have the tonsil removed, or just call the doc for different antibiotics?

For the last 6+ months I have had a shooting pain in my wrist and hand. It hasn't been too bad, but now it's gotten horrible and I can hardly stand it. Also, just recently, I started feeling a burning, tingling sensation in my forearm from my wrist to my elbow. I can hardly do anything without it hurting to the point of asking to take heavy pain pills, and I can't do much else but let my hand rest on my leg or beside me. What could it be?

I have an embarassing and annoying need to go to the toilet frequently. I don't drink alot cos i'm never thirsty. I went on holiday recently and my chap said it was like being on holiday with his nan cos I needed to go so often. If I go somewhere new, I need to find the loo first so I know where it is. I panick sometimes and think alot of it is in my head and not that I actually need the loo. I have been tested for diabetes which is negative. One night I counted 12 trips to the toilet although other nights I don't get up once. I did have numerous water infections growing up. Could this have weakened my bladder?

Symptoms:
1) I don't have it all the time. It comes and goes with no reason.
2) My doctor has no idea what it is. The more time that passes the worse the pain becomes.
3) The pain is always in the same places. At the very top of my rib cage, directly under my breasts. Sometimes it's on one side and sometimes it is both.When it is on the right side, I also get the pain thru to my back.
4) I have had chest xrays and cat scans. Shows nothing relating to the pain.
5) Here is the stupid part. If I take my bra off and take an Alieve, it usually subsides in a short period of time. But it isn't today. This is the third attack today and nothing is helping the pain.
6) I think that is all the highlights. Does anyone know or have you ever heard of this before? If it doesn't let up, it's severe enough that I am going to have to go to the E.R.

WHAT do you think?

I work as a care assistant, so I am on my feet all day. This doesn't hurt, but when I wake up or have sat down for a break, the moment I get up, my feet kill. They really hurt but the pain goes quickly. Why is this? Any suggestions xx

in the meantime, has anyone ever felt like they had a lump in their throat? It's not an actual lump that can be felt when you touch your throat but a a sensation like there's pressure on the base of your throat. Kind of like if someone was putting pressure there, if that makes sense? Anyway, this has gone on for several months and I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this. If so, what were you diagnosed with?
