A large piece of glass fell and cut my foot open 10 days ago.
Ive kept it cleaned and bandaged and the wound is almost closed.
Th ecut was on top of my foot 2 inches from my 4th toe
For the last few days if anything touches it lightly the pain is involutary and excrusiating!. My cat rest his paw cutely on my foot and I screamed like a maniac.
Is this a raw nerve that is healing ? the pain isnt surface, its slightly below the surface.
i can tgo to a doctor right now, im broke until january

Smoking in a hospital, whats the deal. Your supposed to be healthcare providers. How can you tell a patient that smoking is bad for them when they see smoking as they walk in the hospital. Or when your treating them, you smell like cigarete smoke. That is not professional. Should smoking be banned from hospitals?

My little sister (13) overdosed on pills, she took about 15 of each. They took her to the hospital and won't tell me anything. What'll happen to her, and how serious is it?

I fell over the weekend so it's been about 4 days and the bruise looks worse. How do I get rid of it? It's not really painful unless I run. Otherwise it just looks horrible, purple/black.

About a week ago, I was walking in front of a convenience store and slipped on some snow/ice outside. I didn't feel anything at all immediately after the fall. It was only the next day that I noticed a great big bruise on my right arm and my knee started to hurt.

No, hurt isn't the right word. I can stand for about 15 minutes before moving from that position, even if its just to walk starts this ache that runs through my leg.

After all day at work, where I have to walk as part of my job but I'm not required to stand all day unless its busy, I'm ok so long as I remain standing (though that hurts my feet). The moment I try to sit down, knee bent or not, there's sheer agony. Its so bad I could cry. But it goes away after about 15 minutes of sitting without moving, unless I was standing all day in which case I can barely move for hours.

Its at the front of my knee right at or below the kneecap.

Think I might of pulled a muscle when I was sleeping but unsure if that would cause a nauseous feeling and pressure or not. Thanks for the help!

There has been a bunch of talk about waterboarding being torture in the news lately. My question is "Is waterboarding torture?" By definition torture is ' (1)to cause intense suffering, (2)to punish or coerce by causing excruciating pain, or (3) to be cruelly painful.

From what I've seen of waterboarding it does not cause intense excruciating pain, it just immitates drowning. While that might be mentally taxing I'm not sure it equals torture.

So, right above the front of my right hip bone it had been hurting for a long, long time. I play competitive soccer, and there was always a nagging pain while a played. Soon, that area was always sore (when I was on and off the field). It continued for a long time without worsening and it didn't affect my running. It got worse and began to hurt when I coughed and sometimes when I played the saxophone. It also hurts when i "suck it in" alot. In the last week the pain suddenly got a lot worse to the point where I can't play soccer. In one game I played about 5 min. and was in relatively severe pain, but it hurt the worst when I coughed while I was standing on the sideline. Help!?!?!

I've had huge migraines for a little over a week now, and I've figured out it's from computer screens and TV. I'm on the computer for at least 2 hrs a day at school, one for my research project and one when I'm a library aide. What can I do to prevent the monsters from invading my life? When I type I change the background to black and the font to gray, and it seems to help a little.

I've had a severe headache for almost two days now. I've had headaches before, but they usually don't last this long and I try to ignore it. But every sound I hear just makes me wanna curl up in a ball and die. I've been reading on the internet about medicines you can get, and I think I'm going to go to the doctor in a week or so. But the problem is, my friend has migraines and she has Hydrocodone for them. She says they work great but they probably won't give them to me because people get dependent. How can I convince my doctor to give me those instead of the other stuff? I don't wanna beat around the bush with this, I can't take this anymore.
