General Health Care - December 2007

I'v had a pain on the right side of my lower back and top of my bum. I've had it a week and i'm not the sort to keep running to the Dr's. Also today i've flu like symptons. Pain killers do the trick but wear off afterwards. Sitting down for two long gives me a limp. Any clues to what it might be. Can't see the Treage nurse till Monday.

I'm not depressed. I'm very happy at times it's just when I get angry I'm hysterical. I usually just bang on the wall in my room or spike a volleyball hard but I didnt feel like doing it this time. A while ago my mom gave me a surgical blade to cut out planter warts on my feet. I never used it. But I took it out of the wrapping and cut myself. The cut is so small it looks more like a scratch. I've had bigger accidental cuts with a pencil! Its about this big ----. Not very big at all. I washed it with achohol and held it hard until it stopped bleeding. I also think my sister might have seen me do it because I was crying and saying "ow" a lot. I know I probably won't do it again because I didn't like how it felt at all. In fact, it didn't help me feel any less angry. I feel angrier now then I did before. I just want to know if it will scar and if there's any other way to get my anger out.

For the past 7 days I have been experiencing some really extreme migraines and an irritating sore throat...

The migraines only occur on a morning and an evening. And when they do they are extremely painful resulting in me not being able to move my head or get up without feeling dizzy or sickly.

The sore throat is constantly irritating as I have to keep swallowing every 20 minutes or so. It worsens on a night time too.

I've tried taking Ibuprofen, Paracetamol Suspension and a cough syrup (Not all together, lol) but nothing seems to help. They don't even improve it.

I'm beginning to worry and I'm thinking of going to the doctor as a last resort as it seems quite like a minor ailment.

Any suggestions as to what it could be and how to improve it at all?

Much appreciated

My mattress is extremely comfortable but it hurts my back. I'll wake up with a sore neck and back, barely able to move until I take some ibuprofen. Lately I've been sleeping on my floor and couch, and the pain and stiffness and almost completely gone. My mom has promised me a new mattress, but with it being Christmas time we don't have enough for a new one right now. What can I do for the next couple months until I get a new one? I miss sleeping in my room, will I just have to sleep on the floor and couch? My brother kicks me off the couch when he comes over and spends the night, leaving me on the floor. It's fairly old.

Hey everyone.Over two months ago i had one of the worst colds of my life, that began with a sore throat, and horrible cough. Like an idiot i continued smoking a substance through this cold, which made it worse. I got this feeling that something was stuck on the left side halfway down my throat, which hurt everytime i swallowed. So clearly i quit smoking ,but since than havent been able to get rid of this sore throat. no matter how faint i make it seem, its still there. As well as this throat pain i have been getting severe headaches on the same side of my head, near the back. This is usually accompanied by earaches, and a jaw pain that i've never felt before. all on the left side of my head. for example i was drinking lastnight and my head is pounding with pain now...i cant stand it. Anyways i went to the EarNoseThroat specialist, and he told me to gargle salt and warm water for a month, and to see him again if its still there. This is so frustrating, does anyone have ideas?

Why would a pian management clinic turn someone down.Would it be because their doctor did'nt try hard enough to get them in or would it be something else?

i am on Lamictal & I have not had a seizure in 4 years until last night. I had a deep cut on my finger that i thought healed up. It opened & started bleeding (i am not good with blood especially when it is dark.) So I got light headed, blurry vision, my ears started ringing & felt like i was going to pass out so I ran outside to get some air. I did pass out & ended up having a seizure. It lasted less than 1 min, my friend said i was sitting up for part of it & was convulsing. The convulsions were not too intense & I woke up feeling alot better than I have after any of the other 7 seizures i have had in my life.
More details...I got epilepsy 7 years ago in college (maybe hitting my head in basketball or sleep deprivation) most of my seizures are a result of lack of sleep or missing a dosage, this is the 1st seizure that wasnt in the morning. One time the dr was out of novocain and i let him remove a mole & a similar thing happened.
was it seeing the blood?
thanks for reading

I have no idea if these are related at all, or if this is something I should even be worried about. The spot on the back of my head doesn't hurt a lot, and if I think of something else I often forget that it's there. However, it's there every day. The headaches happen less often, but I normally have at least 1 or 2 a week.
This has really been worrying me, and I'm just wondering if someone could tell me what this might be? I'm 18 years old and traveling to Germany tomorrow for 2 weeks. Should I be really worried and go to the doctor while I'm there, or will a trip to the doctor in 2 weeks when I get back be ok? Any help is greatly appreciated...

Well it started on Christmas. I think i over ate because after i was done with dessert my stomach was feeling kinda cramped but i just figured i ate too much whatever. But then the next day i had to use the bathroom constantly i must have been in there about every half hour or hour. Wednesday night i couldnt sleep and i had a headache and stomache cramps and i felt like i needed to throw up but i only burped alot. It pretty much felt like my stomache was being slammed together and someone was trying to cram it together or something. I no longer have the burping or headache but i still have to crap ALOT and i'm really tired of it. It seems like as soon as i eat anything it comes back out a half hour later. Seriously i had a handful or NERDS and about 15 minutes later i was in the bathroom. I have to work tomorrow and i'm hoping it goes away by then because i cant call off & i cant have this. My mom also is having some problems. Can ne one help?

Okay so I have two examples.

One; last year i went swimming with my friend all day. Went to bed. Woke up around 3am, both arms in extreme pain. I couldn't move my arms or fingers even or pain would shoot through my arm my whole arm would have a tingling sensation but with lots of pain.

Two; Few days ago I was lifting heavy boxes, using my right arm more for lifting, and an hour later i started to feel the pain, and it got worse and worse as time moved on. The pain lasted 2 days.

Anyone know at all what this COULD be? It hasn't happened to anyone else I know.
