Everything was feeling great, up until four weeks ago. I am starting to have a lot of pain on the back side of my knee. This only happens when I kneel down. It feels like ,my leg is falling a sleep. The pain is very quick and am unable to stay in this position for more than a few minutes. When I stand up every thing goes back to normal.

I recently dropped some weight on my toe (about 60 pounds). My toenail was bruised as a result. I have been able to get out some of the dried blood which causes the nail to look blue about halfway down the nail. How should I clean the bottom of the nail without any surgery? Any ideas? Will the blueish color go away in a few months? Do I need to just wait? THANK YOU!

I keep getting tension headaches that stem from my neck. Either side of my neck will hurt and then cause a headache up the back of my head to the front of my eye. I have been getting them almost once a week. I am not sure if I should go to the doctor or just find some sort of muscle relaxer??? I do take spasm meds for my neck already at night since I have a lot of strain already with a few neck issues from a car accident. The tension headaches and pain are getting worse and more frequent so I wasnt sure what to do. Any ideas?

I've tried to quit soooo many times before but never succeeded for more than a couple of days. I have a child who I don't smoke around directly but I'm sure must be affected by it passively, I can't actually afford to smoke, and now I've developed a viral infection I find I can't actually breath properly and have been told I may well have asthma which I haven't had for years. Giving up nicotine doesn't seem that hard a thing to do, especially with all the nicotine replacement inhalers and gum etc.

But how do I live without cigarettes? What do I do when I'm stressed? What do I do when I need to take five minutes out to de-stress because my toddler's drawn on the walls? What do I do while I'm waiting for someone to show up?

It's not giving up the drug that bothers me, it's the habit.

I have this weird sensation in the back of my throat and I'm 3 weeks out of my operation. I have been sneezing more and more. Also throat has been a little swollen more then usual lately. Swallowing of food is fine. Also, I had my adenoids removed as well.

Is this normal ? .. is it the stitching bothering my throat?

There was complications with my first surgery where I was released the same day after operation then started coughing up blood (roughly 6 oz until I got to the operating room) when they went back in for more surgery and courtirzed my wounds even more and suctioned a pint of blood out of my stomach.

My 13 year old son fell down the dtairs last night, and injured his foot, he couldn'r put pressure on it, and now used vrutches that we had from before...my wife called 911 and they told him to stay put until they got there. The doctor at hospital took xray's, came to see my son, said rudely, "There's no reason to have to call emergency 911 resue for something like this, I wouldn't recommend doing it again, if it's not necessary, save it for the people who really need it." As he said he was going to look at the xray's and be back, my wife saw him go to his desk, but didn't look at naything, talked to a nurse, and game back saying, "well, I don't think there's anything majorly wrong with his foot, it's probobly just a sprain, can he put pressure on it?" Our son got up and slowly put pressure on it, and walked with a hobble, and painful limp. He didn't give him any pain medication, or splint, cast, or even an ace wrap, and sent him home. should we have a lawsuite here?

Well, I have been having pain on the left side of my big toe, whenever pressure is put on it. I have had this for about a week or so now, and the left side of my toe appears to be a little swollen and turning a bit purple. Is my toe infected? Or is this just some sort of bruise that will go away with time?

Oh yeah, and this is the toe on my left foot.

Sometimes the spot is in a different location on the bottom of my foot. I suffer from sciatica and wondered if it was also causing this tingling spot on my foot.

When I was very little, possibly five, I was sitting at a desk coloring in a coloring book when I moved slightly because of discomfort. When I did that one of my lower ribs made a popping sound which only hurt very slightly at that time so I thought nothing of it and continued my coloring. Well since then my lowerish ribs popped in and out of place until I hit high school where they stayed popped out of place. All between that time I complained to my pediatrician about back pain and trouble breathing. I was then told by my mom that I was a hypochondriac where as I stopped asking about it for a while because of that. It wasn't until the last time that I talked to him when I told him how I always had trouble lifting weights and doing other heavy stuff like that in school that he determined it to be ribs popped out of place. What I'm asking is if there a way to do some exercises that will pop my ribs into place and keep them in place since prof. help is impossible for me to get right now

I was carrying a hot bowl of soup in one hand, and a can of pop in the other. I passed by the light switch, and I decided I would turn it off with my foot. I kicked up sharply.. and.. er.. I dumped the scalding hot soup all over my stomache and legs.

The area's been red for 10 minutes now, and it hurts to walk. I've never really gotten burned before, so what am I supposed to do to help it? :0
