my daughters but hole hurts?

Posted by admin on August 1st, 2010

Question 1
my daughters but hole hurts?…  she says it bleeds when she goes potty, and there seems to be a cut inside she thinks, it hurts when she ges to the bath room, i got her some hemorrhoids cream but it done nothing but burn. and make her ich more, i also give her fiber,and told her to drink more water every day, this has been going on for months though, she used to have pin worms for years, but lost all that years ago. please help me i have tried everything.

Answers
1)   Have you seen a doctor? – Madison

2)   please take her to a doctor!

i mean its been a month of home falier treatment – Lone Wolf

3)   How old is she and is she constipated? Nobody needs to have pinworms for years now that treatment is available. She probably needs to see a doctor for the bleeding rectum. – Dinky Finklestein

4)   You shouldn’t just give her hemorrhoid cream without knowing for sure it’s that. How is her diet? Kids that don’t eat a lot of fiber have very hard stool and it can last for as long as their not eating grains and leafy vegetables. Get her some prune juice and let her drink a glass a day. That should help. Also, see your pediatrician. – onelove

Question 2
I have constant back pain?…  For weeks my back and down through my legs ive had constant back pain, it almost feels like ive pulled a muscle in my legs but i don’t do any heavy lifting and i work out and go for walks occasionally. I just got married and i am waiting to get on my husbands insurance, i currently have none. Do you think its a pinched nerve? i sometimes get tingly and burning sensations in my upper-mid back, and when i sleep on my sides my hips hurt and ache, im constantly tossing and turning. what do yoiu think?

Answers
1)   It could very well be a pinched sciatic nerve which runs through the back of your leg. Unfortunately, you would need to see a physician to be certain. – Dwayne Slay

2)   You should use Tramadol, it is the best about it you can get information from here http://canmdh17.notlong.com/AA68Rbl – Taina Masuda

3)   As above, a pinched nerve could be the problem. You need pain relief and possibly a nerve relaxant (Lyrica) to get yourself mobile without pain. See a doctor as fast as you can. You could also have a more serious complaint of a herniated disk. Seek help from the professional and dont self diagnose. – nice guy is me

4)   Can’t go to the docs,

Sounds like shingles. The key is the upper-mid back burning tingly inclusion. Sciatica and other terms usually resulting from a pinched nerve in the lower back can be localized or radiated down the side to the front of the upper leg, and even to the feet.

Shingles can be similar in feeling: hot spots, pin pricks, tingling etc. but is not localized like a pinched nerve. Shingles is also very uncomfortable and can bring a person to tears. Docs can prescribe meds and a google search can point to home remedies.

Look up shingles. It is a symptom of chicken pocks. Once you get it, it stays with you forever, and one of the manifestations is cold sores and… shingles among others. Typically there is a rash or redness, but not always.

Further since you are not in front of me I have no way of determining if you have other alerts that could point to other issues. – gottabeartsy

Question 3
Is popping your neck bad?…  I pop my neck all the time. I turn it too the right and left to make a loud crunching sound that makes everyone in the room chiver. Is that hurting my neck? Will my head just fall off one day?

Answers
1)   I heard it wasn’t but then one day I was watching Dr. Oz. He did say that popping your neck was pretty dangerous. I forgot the show title. But I would look into it more. I try to stop popping my neck. But its hard not to. – Moonitelady

2)   you can wear down the cartilage from doing that, and the body will just grow back more to cover what you break, so yes, you can eventually train your body to grow extra cartilage on your joints, which can lead to big problems when you get older. – Since You Asked

3)   lol ur head isnt gonna fall off. popping ur neck (like ur fingers) is actually healthy. You neck develops air bubbles between the joints and popping ur neck, pops the bubbles. BUT if u do it too much u can stretch the ligaments and stuff like that so keep it to a minumin – Jennifer V

___________________________________________________

Question 4
should i be worried about this?…  i’m a fifteen year old girl and recently, i haven’t been able to think properly

i’ve generally been able to get good grades, however now i can’t

seem to take in anymore information or remember anything,

my memory is now ridiculously bad and i forget the simplest things

eg: where my classes are etc, Not being able to retain information or

remember things is severely effecting my grades now and is getting frustrating

i’ve been getting terrible sharp headaches on one side which cause me

to almost pass out, but within minutes miraculously disappear.

this isn’t due to stress or lack of sleep, does anyone have a similar problem?

and know what’s causing it?, do you think it’s something i should be worried about?

thanks (:.

Answers
1)   That sounds pretty serious…… maybe you should go to a doctor….. – Tom Young

2)   I would be like this in high school. Its just stress. think of all the stuff ur going thro? just find something to relax you, i went tanning (i know its bad but soo relaxing) – Jennifer V

3)   Hey Jenna;)

this is erm me? I’m sorry that my answer is totally inappropriate here :( but icant seem to find a way to contact you:( I wanna be your Ana buddy, and I see that you have all these problems.. I know the feeling when you’re stressed coz I’m so screwed up now too:( I guess that we can not only support each other on Ana but also encourage each other in these times too! Thanks

Question 5
Dropped something on my left foot its all swollen and going black and blue it aches when I stand on it.?…  Should I go to the doctors to have it checked out it has been 3 days now and its still acheing?

Answers
1)   Well that’s pretty normal for those things to happen if you dropped something a bit heavy on your foot. It will probably ache for quite a few days, and you’ve bruised it is why it has turned different colors. It’s basically just a aching and bruising of your foot, but if it gets any worse or doesn’t start to go away soon, maybe a doctor trip wouldn’t hurt you. – BHarris

2)   it is probably best to go to the doctors you may have broken bones and are continuing to agrivate by not giving it R.I.C.E. (rest, ice, compression, elevation.) Even if it is not a break the doctor maybe able to give you something for the pain, like perscription ibprofren. – Heather S

3)   How heavy was the thing that fell on your foot? If it was heavy, you could have a sprain of your foot (google Lisfranc sprain). Do you have crutches? Try to not step on that foot until you see a doctor. The fact that it is too painful to step on after 3 days tells me that you got something going on. Yes, get to an orthopedic doctor, preferably a foot and ankle orthopedic doctor.

The swelling and black and blue in normal. Elevate your foot above your heart, that will help. – emilycia

I feel pain in my dreams, and it hurts?

Posted by admin on July 5th, 2010

Question 1
I feel pain in my dreams, and it hurts?…  I have a lot of nightmares, every dream i had in the last year has been a nightmare. In most of my dreams i feel the pain of what is happening.

Example: Someone was chasing me and stabed me in the back with a knife. I felt so much pain in my dream, i woke up screaming and crying in pain. The pain stays for only a few seconds after i wake up and then the pain goes away and it feels like nothing ever happened.

this has happened many times before. Gun shot, knife, attacked by an animal or beat up by someone, i feel all of it. AND IM SICK OF IT!
whats wrong with me?
and im 14 and never had drugs

Answers
1)   you cant feel pain from dreams…. its impossible and you are imagining things. – Shelby

2)   get off drugs, stop smoking, dont drink. if you do any of these, those are prolly whats making you have the pain. be carefully about what you watch so you wont have nightmares either. – chairboy

3)   Are you doing alot of lifting with your back?? It sounds like muscle pains/cramps. When you have the cramp in your back while you sleep, in your dream state you interpret the back pain as being attacked. – SMUT; Anti-Patriotic Happy Sock

4)   Maybe you are sleeping in a contorted position, and your back is going into spasm. You feel the pain, and construct your dream around the very real pain. When you wake up, you move and the spasm releases, so you don’t feel any more pain.

I have a displaced vertebra, and get terrible nerve pain in my legs. I dream that my legs are run over with a train, or that intruders broke into my house and tied my legs up with barbed wire, or that my legs are crushed between a car and a brick wall, or any number of dreams that include terrible leg pain. The pain is real, and the dream is trying to make sense of it. – RT215

5)   I remember one dream i had when Russian wolf attack me and I could of sworn I actually felt him attacking me, it seemed realistic. This happen not to long while I was back in Russia, but i woke and my pet russian retriever was licking my arm. – The King

6)   Hello, I’m a doctor. Use Tramadol. I think that you want to get more info about it. Please go to —-> http://webmd7.notlong.com/AAmivuZ – Julieta Witten

7)   I recommend you to see —-> http://www.all-home-remedies.com

I hope that will resolve your problem, keep using answers.yahoo.com – Kelly

8)   ignore these people this is completely possible. Our minds can imagine and think up pain. It obviously was real enough that your body was in pain. Its like when I look at blood my arm will legitimately hurt. The pain isn’t actually being inflicted but our minds can do crazy things. good luck. – Ryan

9)   how….maybe this is someone trauma…be cool be coool…it’s too maybe stress…calm,calm…search an psycologist ,and and….you’re ok…ok?calm,calm,dreams,is also dreams,not reality,no fear no fear,ok…all works into your security!!! I wants your security,search an doctor…it’s also stresss…diary stress… – k michaels ºLº

Question 2
how do you fall asleep faster?…  what are good ways to fall asleep because ive been going to bed at like 2:00 at night but how can i get sleeper so i can fall asleep at like 12:00 or maybe 11:00

Answers
1)   I put a boreing movie in and put it on low volume :) – janis_joplin

2)   if you make your body real tired like do a hundred pushups or until you body begs for you to stop, then you should be real sleepy after that. and thats what i do and it works for me lol.

But yeah if you sweat make sure to wash yourself before you go to bed so your not all sweaty. and Hot steamy water usually makes me sleepy to.

Hopefully if you try this it will work for you. :D – Dani

3)   It depends what makes you sleepy. It could be reading, watching TV, or drinking warm milk. I know someone who keeps water by their bed that they drink when they can’t sleep. I just count my breathing, or say ‘in’ and ‘out’ with each breath. – Sammy

4)   I like to listen to calming music. It’s all in your taste. For me it’s ballads by the Beatles, for others it’s classical music. It’s all what you’re interested in. – thetoxicavenger87

5)   There are two things that I do, one, u can try to "create your dream" like u think of what u want too dream about, and let ur imagination run, but this can be difficult because u culd get too interested in imagining your "dream". The other thing u can try which I think works better, is try to stay awake, I kno it sounds retarted, but someone told me that and it works forreal. I hope these help – Sariah

6)   I use aromatherapy, from this great spa in my town, but you can get some decent stuff at Bath and Body Works. Lavender is good, and mint wakes you up in the morning by the way. I also listen to my iPod while I sleep, lullabyish songs or songs I connect with at the time. Watching TV, playing video games, or being on the computer won’t help, sorry. Also don’t drink soda or coffee. Another thing to do is pretend you’re reading the dictionary in your head. Puts me to sleep!

Hope I help!!! – goldengirlFTW

Question 4
I have pain to the right of my sternum just under my ribs. Its noticeable when i sneeze. What could it be?…  I worry about this pain and I always try to push the area to try and maybe feel something abnormal but I dont feel anything out of the ordinary.

Answers
1)   it’s gud ur very inquisitive trinna figure out stuff urself…but just a tip..wen its somethin to do wit pain n ur body in general u visit a DOC..! – wassup

2)   Here i s an excellent site with some wonderful options for you. It will definitely help you. Have a look. http://webmd2.notlong.com/AAcNrvX – Julieta Witten

3)   Chest pain is something you don’t want to mess around with. I suggest you call your doctor that’s on call right now and ask if it’s worth going to the ER or if you should just schedule an appointment. – chauncaaa

4)   I’ve had that feeling too. I’m not an expert, but here is what I think. The pain could either be an air pocket in your bronchus tubes, or maybe a piece of food lodged in your bronchus tubes. You bronchi are just the tubes that run down from your throat, into your lungs. If it is food and it gets stuck into the lungs, pneumonia might develop. You might want to get an x-ray done on your chest. I would’nt recommend an M.D. though. They are just medical doctors, but they don’t know everything. Go to a specialist, such as a radiologist. They should be able to give you the x-ray and diagnose it.

Thanks and may GOD bless!

Question 5
WASHING HAIR WATER IS STILL IN MY LEFT EAR . HOW DO I DRAIN IT OUT ,,ITS BEEN TWO DAYS?…  

Answers
1)   Q-tip, or cotton ball right before you go to sleep. Just dont go in too far with the q-tip. – L3GIΩN

2)   I don’t know if this will work for you, but put a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in your ear ( feels really strange when it bubbles) let it sit for about 5 minutes. and then turn your head and drain on tissue. – Denise C

3)   I know it sounds crazy but this always works for me.

Stand on one foot and hop up and down, lean your head the opposite side (ex. hop on your left foot and lean your head to the right). The bouncing and the leaning should open your ear canal and allow the water to escape. – Maureen

4)   This may sound… stupid, but roll around on your bed or on the floor. It’ll take a few minutes, but it works for me. Water has been in my ear for like 5 or 4 hours and I rolled and it came out. – J-Diino ♥

My side hurts like crazy!?

Posted by admin on June 28th, 2010

Question 1
My side hurts like crazy!?…  Preferably doctor or nurses answer, please!!

Okay, well around noon of today my side has killed me! Its right below my belly button, to the right. It hurts sitting, laying down and it really hurts when I’m walking. Is there anything i can do to make it go away? Besides taking medicine?

Thanks for your help!
3 of my cousins, and my dad have had their appendics taken out, so-could my appendics possibly be causin the problem?

Answers
1)   Can you go to the Emergency Room? – crazyskyblue

2)   Thats the side you appendics is on, If it continues you get a fever or vomiting get it checked out – cin_ann_43

3)   That sounds like your appendics, Go to the hospital, or your local doctor, this could be very serious, and is worth getting checked out. Good Luck! – Kinalis

4)   When was your last normal period? You may have a condition called Mittelschmerz, or middle pain, which sometimes occurs with ovulation. It can be mild, or cripplingly bad. Other option, is appendicitis, pain generally is mild at first, around the belly button area, and gradually locating to the lower right quadrant of the belly. Loss of appetite, nausea or even vomiting are common. Either way, you need to see a health care provider because of the risk of appendicitis. If left untreated, it will burst and cause a major infection. Not fun. Better to go and find you didn’t have it, than to delay and end up even sicker. ER time! – deborah

Question 2
I am a 15 year old girl and I am really paranoid when i go to sleep that my heart is beating too slow?…  I took a few tests online to check my heart rate and it was around 48, I am a very active person so I read that that can effect the BPM as well. I just get really scared to go to sleep because I don’t want my heart to stop beating. Am I just paranoid or should i be concerned?

Answers
1)   no not really you heart rate slows down when you rest your whole body relaxes – Britney

2)   its probably all in your head because i sometimes think the same thing just dont overreact because that could stress you out and your body out as well so if i was you just dont think about it and just kick back watch a funny tv show and eat some ice cream lol – Taylor Curtis

3)   You have nothing to worry about. That is a good resting heart rate. It sounds though like you have a mild form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The fact that you obsess over your heart stopping as you sleep may be an indicator of such.

Don’t worry though! You’re fine – cruise20

4)   I doubt that your heart will stop while you are asleep in the absence of any other conditions. Normal heart rate runs 60-100 BPM. Athletes, particularly runners, long distance skiers, etc. may run heart rates in the 40’s and be fine. If you are this concerned, see a health care provider who can accurately gauge your heart rate, listen for any abnormalities, and hopefully set you mind at ease. Good Luck. – deborah

___________________________________________________

Question 3
My ear is really hurting and i woke up and there was blood on my pillow.?…  I woke up and there was blood on my pillow. my mom says its and ear infection but the ones i normally have had didnt bleed and hurt this bad. It hurts like crap and im trying to find something to ease the pain. P.S. this is my first question asked! :)

Answers
1)   Definitely see a doctor, and they will probably give you some drops to put in it. It should clear up after that. – Spiderman

2)   Sounds like a middle ear infection that finally ruptured yor eardrum. After the rupture, the pain generally subsides, but maybe it sort of resealed with drainage, and the pressure is building again. Contact your health care provider. You will need antibiotocs and possibly eardrops. If your eardrum is ruptured, pcik up on some silly putty on the way home. Use it for ear plugs when you are showering, no swimming for 6-8 weeks until the eardrum heals. Good Luck. – deborah

3)   You should use altace, it is the best about it you can get information from here http://webmd75.notlong.com/AApOk5n – Auberon P

Question 4
Lower right stomach pain?…  Ahhh…

Yesterday as I was getting out of my car…I had this sudden really sharp pain in my lower right side.

It went away as soon as I got back into my car…It scared me…

And still does scare me!

Before it happened(for the past…week or so before)…I wasnt wanting to eat as much…I was more thirsty than anything.

And since its happened Im actually hungry…

Also since it has happened Ive had smaller sharp pains sometimes and my stomach likes to make lots of sounds after I eat now…

I first thought my appendix.

But my dad thought maybe…"Caught gas" or something.

I dunno…I hate doctors but if this gets worse Im going for sure.

Just wanted to get some info…Im scared.

Answers
1)   As you were bending to get out of your car you pinched a muscle in your back and that is what caused the pain to shoot the way it did. When you tried to straighten up it pinched even more and that is what scared you. You can release your back muscles to get rid of the pain by doing this:

Back:

(do from a sitting position)

Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and find the muscles next to your spine and firmly press on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.

For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed. – Douglas B

2)   Here i s an excellent site with some wonderful options for you. It will definitely help you. Have a look. http://webmd67.notlong.com/AAx5qN7 – Auberon P

3)   Hello, I’m a doctor. Use Tramadol. I think that you want to get more info about it. Please go to —-> http://mdans85.notlong.com/2AAx5qN – Curtis A

___________________________________________________

Question 5
I cant sleep anything i can use apart from pills?…  Im a 17 year old female (only 17 for 2 weeks if that helps any) and i cant sleep at all. Im finding myself staying up till around 6am then going to sleep for about 3-4 hours. Ive tried going to sleep but i always seem to wake up at half three. Im exhausted in bed but I just cant sleep. Its been over a week since ive had proper sleep.

At the start it was nightmares that didn’t make me sleep but their gone now and i still cant sleep. Im not sure why i cant sleep but can i do/eat/take anything to help me get back into my normal sleeping pattern? Im young and really don’t want to take pills is there anything else?

Answers
1)   smoke some weed yea i know it sounds all bad and ridiculous but it really helps trust me ive done my research i smoke weed it killed off my cancer in 5 months and it helped me relieve stress,it helped me sleep,and it calmed me down so thats my answer – Taylor Curtis

2)   Hello, I’m a doctor. Use zolpidem. I think that you want to get more info about it. Please go to —-> http://webmd70.notlong.com/AAtHbis – Brenden S

3)   You just need to reset your clock. Develop a routine before bed-a bath, chamomile tea, meditation or quiet reading (no murder mysteries or politics!). Do nothing in bed but sleep. If you can;t fall asleep, get up and do something until you feel ready to try again. No naps. No caffeine or tea after about 3pm (or at all would be even better.) Keep your room very dark-not radio clock, no computer screen no nightlights, no outside lights. Also your room needs to be coo. Ideally about 68 degrees, but in summer that is hard to come by. Comfortable sleep clothes- no binding, no pulling, cool. Maybe run a small fan to make white noise to block out any other sound. If non of this works, see a health care provider, who may be willing to give you something to help you sleep for a few nights until you reboot. Good Luck. – deborah

what does it mean when one of your hands and wrist hurts bad after typing,writing or driving for a short time?

Posted by admin on June 25th, 2010

Question 1
what does it mean when one of your hands and wrist hurts bad after typing,writing or driving for a short time?…  It also burns and cramps up and seems to be getting worse is this arthritis?

Answers
1)   1 – Get off the computer

2 – Stop being a nerd

3 – Don’t drag race,its illegal! – Thats what she said→

2)   could be carpal tunnel syndrome, a repetitive use injury that requires surgery. – Snotalie

3)   repetitive strain injuries – TheAnswer

4)   Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), is associated by symptoms and signs, which are caused by compression of the median nerve traveling through the carpal tunnel. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome affects the hands since it is an upper limb neuropathy that results in motor and sensory disturbance of the median nerve. This can be caused by repetitive motion over long periods of time. Typing and writing for example. – Hans

Question 2
Is my neck broken or sprained?…  Today I was swimming and I got pushed in and landed on my head really hard. I blacked out for a like a second then swam up to the top and my neck hurts bad. If I move my head side to side it hurts somewhat, but if I tilt my head back it is painful. Is it going to be okay, or do I need to see a doctor?
Sorry about the broken neck thing my mom put that into my head.

Answers
1)   Your neck is not broken. If your neck were broken, you would not be moving at all. You could possibly not even be living.

However, it is likely you did receive some sort of injury, which could be a sprain or a bruise or possibly something more serious. However, if you blacked out you should go to see a doctor as head and neck injuries can be very serious, even if they don’t SEEM that serious. – Belie

2)   maybe a STRAIN. there is a difference (if you didn’t know) by the way: last time i checked when you break your neck you die. or you won’t be able to move. witch would probably cause you to drown. so yeah.. – Tommy Draper

3)   The general rule of thumb is that if it were broken you would not be able to bear weight or pressure on it, and you would be completely unwilling to move it due to intense pain. However, that doesn’t mean you haven’t injured your neck or spine. You may have jarred the vertebra in your neck. Could just be a little soreness, could be something like a slipped disc. With any neck injury where you know the cause is physical trauma it’s best not to dink around and hope it goes away. I’d get it looked at. – Jasmer

4)   Sounds like you need to see a doctor and checked for possible concussion and for neck injury asap. Some people hit their head and feel fine and later go into a coma. Check your pupils make sure they are equal "both the same size" shine a flashlight and check both pupils and make sure they both constrict equally. Do go see your doctor this is nothing to play around with. Billy Mayes hit his head and died later. Not trying to scare you, just do not take a head hit lightly. Better to be safe than sorry. – oysterstew

___________________________________________________

Question 3
Why am I hurting in my back?…  I feel like I am having period cramps, but no period. I am almost 2 months late. Not sexually active at all. I just got off my birth control thinking everything was normal, and I think this is why I’m late.

My body may not be use to it, but major cramping in my right lower back. Or just lower back… what is going on?

Answers
1)   Honey I don’t think any response here is going to resolve your issue.

Have you considered going to a doctor so they can take tests to find out what’s going on with your symptoms? If not, I urge you make that move.

Good luck – Mr.SouthMetroAtl

2)   The cramping you are feeling in your lower back is pinched muscles in your back. When you pinch muscles in your back they can easily press against the nerves going to the other organs of the body. When those nerves have pressure on them they sooner or later make the organ itself have some kind of pain or problem, and I think that is why you can be having period cramps and even two months late or it can be a part of the problem. To get rid of this problem you have to release the muscles in your back and you can do that by using this:

Back:

(do from a sitting position)

Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and find the muscles next to your spine and firmly press on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.

For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling, then remain this relaxed. – Douglas B

3)   Could be UTI (urinary tract infection) or cysts on the ovaries. Go to a Doctor if symptoms persist. – misantropology

Question 4
this my be a stupid question but im up for ideas. My left ankle is swollen, i can press my finger on the side?…  and it leave a dent. Now my right one is fine. I would like to hear any honest answers. thanks

Answers
1)   You have pitting edema probable cause an injury. Advice stay off your ankle a week and try taking some Aleive for a few days. If this doesn’t work see your doctor. – oysterstew

2)   Yes, this fits the definition of pitting edema, which can be a sign of serious problem, or nothing to worry about. Also, you could have swelling of the joint, arthritis, or swelling due to an injury. Does it hurt? Have you gained a lot of weight in the past few days? If your answer to these is both NO, then I would expect it to clear up in the next few days. You could try elevating the ankle above your heart. If your answer to either of these questions is YES, or it doesn’t resolve soon, I think you should get this checked out. – Emily

Question 5
what is it exactly ? isn’t he supposed to see a doctor ?…  we were about to play a soccer game , when one of our friends told us that he can’t play because something is wrong with his big toe , when he showed us , it was like really swollen , and the tissue was like cut badly because of the growth of white flesh or white skin under it in the shape of circles "that white thing was the cause of the swelling".

we asked him how that happened ? , and he said that he cut the skin by mistake using a scissors !!, is that true ? can a simple cut do that ?, what happened exactly? , isn’t he supposed to see a doctor or what?
no , it is under the big toe , the skin is cut " almost gone" , but instead of flesh , there is this white swelling thing , it is really creepy
he can’t play soccer , he didn’t , :(

Answers
1)   I have no idea what you are trying to describe, or what exactly happened. Did he have an ingrown toenail? – Emily

2)   It maybe that the cut he sustained has become badly infected. Tell him to get it checked by a doctor who can evaluate the condition and prescribe antibiotics to control the infection. I would recommend that he stop playing soccer till the toe heals up completely. – fts1939

I cannot poo and it really hurts?

Posted by admin on June 7th, 2010

Question 1
I cannot poo and it really hurts?…  My stomach is really swollen and I haven’t been able to go to the toilet for well over a week now.

My bum hole is even more swollen than my stomach… and I’m in so much pain!

It started out just me feeling a little groggy but now it hurts to sit down, move about… it pretty much hurts to do anything.

I’m in the middle of my exam period and I don’t want to feel like this (especially during such an important time)

It’s really embarrassing to talk to my family about this so I’m asking for your advise.

Is this possibly piles? – I know there are some of my family members who have it, but I just don’t want to ask them.

There is also (I know I sound silly please don’t make fun of me if this isn’t the reason) a history of cancer in my family. My granddad had bowel cancer. So, I’m sitting here thinking the worst possible answer. Someone please put my mind at ease. Please.

Answers
1)   go to your doctor, in the meantime, more fibre in diet – Zen

2)   You are in desperate need of a doctor and some laxatives. Stop eating fiber asap. – Nutritiona

3)   You are constipated. Buy a laxative and take as directed. Drink more water and get more fiber in your diet. Those will help in the future to prevent constipation. – peanut

4)   Take a laxative, hydrate yourself better, and go to the doctor if it worsens. – eva<3

5)   A week is too long. You need proper medical advice from someone like NHS Direct [1] if you won’t visit the family’s doc.

Not talking about the problem doesn’t make it go away. You need to overcome your embarrassment – health care professionals are just that – professional, so they won’t laugh or make fun of you, despite what you might have seen on TV dramas. – Phillip B

6)   I recommend you to see —-> http://www.all-home-remedies.com

I hope that will resolve your problem, keep using answers.yahoo.com – Kate

7)   When my son was very young the doctor suggested these remedies for the same problem. The doctor suggested that I feed him some WHOLE KERNEL CORN. Another thing the doctor suggested is to have him eat POPCORN. and last but not least, it to take CASTOR OIL. The reason these things are good for you is that they add some bulk to your diet and then the stomach can digest the contents better.

I hope that is is of some help and that you feel better soon. If all else fails get a laxative and take it, or even a stool softener and try that. If these do not work, then by all means go to the doctors office and let him/ her help you. – Su-Nami

8)   ask your pharmacist for something to soften your stool and help you to go to the bathroom. they get this question a lot. also drink a lot of water to help keep future stools soft. i doubt that you bowel cancer so please put your mind at ease on that. eat lots of food that have lots of fiber in it and stay away from junk foods. it is also possible that you might have hemorrhoids. they can really hurt and itch like the devil. they can be easily removed with no pain. – christina c

9)   Go to Emergency Department urgently. 1 week is a really long time and if it hurts, you can have bowels obstruction and it is really life threatening. I work in public hospital and believe me, many people come with this problem and it taken very seriously. First things they will do is X-ray to check for obstruction. Just tell them you are in lot of pain (it is better to overemphasize pain then to do opposite).

May be it is just simple constipation, but they will help. It is not pleasant, but it is very common problem and they do it every day. Tell to your family, are they so bad? Ok, you can tell your family you have an abdominal pain, which you can not tolerate anymore. You don’t have to tell them about constipation. When doctor will examine you, they will be not there, doctor will ask them to leave. But you have to tell to the doctor. – Yes!

Answers
1)   i usually just take a few bong hits and im good – tripnhrd

2)   Drink water

Give yourself a 10 minute de-stress every couple of hours with fresh air if possible.

Good luck

——————————————————————————–

a headache is usually to much oxygen, try breathing in a paper bag.

——————————————————————————–

gatorade – it really works

——————————————————————————–

lie down in a dark room and put a damp cold face cloth up on your forhead this does work for some people

——————————————————————————–

if it is really bad you could put some heat on it to make it go away. also getting off the computer and not watching TV and just lieing down may help.

——————————————————————————–

9 out of 10 headaches are caused by deydration – make sure you are sipping water regularly (it makes you pee a lot at first!) and take breaks in the fresh air, particularly if you are looking at computer screens or reading for long periods.

——————————————————————————–

Sometimes headaches are caused by dehydration so my advice is to drink plenty of water. Then open a window, turn all the lights off and sit in a dark room and breathe the fresh air. Sometimes a nice head or neck massage can help to relieve the symptoms.

——————————————————————————–

headaches are often caused by dehydration you can easy this by drinking plenty of water and or Orange Juice

——————————————————————————–

exercise releases certain chemical into the body and relieves tiredness and headache

——————————————————————————–

sleep or even a catnap works for me

——————————————————————————–

Try putting pressure on the top of your head with the fingers from one hand for a count of 20.

——————————————————————————–

Relaxation..good calm music and fresh air.

——————————————————————————–

An elderly lady once told me she would drink a cup of hot water for a headache. She said it worked every time. She lived to be 100 yrs. old. Maybe she knew something.

——————————————————————————–

Are your sinuses blocked or is it just a general pain? Try using menthol crystals in a bowl of steaming water if it is sinuses, or just the steam from a cup of tea.

——————————————————————————–

a quiet dark room and lie down for a while.

Total honesty here I havent taken any form a chemical in tablet form for years and never suffer from anything.

You feel like sh## for a few months but after that you wouldnt believe it.

It’s great!!

——————————————————————————–

Try a heating pad placed under your head. The heat will relieve pressure by allowing blood to flow more freely in your head. Lie still in a darkened room with your eyes closed. This advice worked for me when I had a migraine recently.

——————————————————————————–

sex or chocolate, if they do not work as least you have enjoyed trying

——————————————————————————–

You can stick your feet in freezing (very cold )water for no longer than one minute. it helps for headaches but not always for migranes.

——————————————————————————–

Depends how high a pain threshold you have, try laying down for a while with your eyes closed, sleep if you can. I don’t like taking tablets and will do only as a last resort if it doesn’t go away after a few hours or if I go to bed with a headache and awake with one I’ll take something, but generally I either just try and ignore it and see if it goes by itself or I try laying with my eyes closed or have a nap. – Jim

3)   the best way is probably to get enough sleep,drink (as you mentioned) and try and get lots of fresh air sit down outside on a bench in your back garden is don’t watch t.v or play computer games as these will worsen the headache

hope i helped – Eddie

4)   I take naps and that gets ride of them.

PS. You’re 13 and you drink? You mean alcohol? – Lucy

5)   I’m sorry you have a headache :(

I always start by figuring out what kind of headache it is. It’s either a sins headache or a migraine for me. Easiest way to distinguish between the two is to bend over and touch your toes. If your head starts throbbing worse, it’s a sinus headache. If not, it’s just a headache or a migraine.

If it’s a sinus headache, I usually get in the tub and take a nice steamy bath and put a cool washrag over my eyes. Drink lots of water and relax.

If it’s a migraine, I close the curtains, take a motrin and try to lay down. Make sure it’s not bright, and not too loud inside and try to rest. A cool damp washrag helps too.

Keep in mind, this is what helps me. It’s never a 100% thing, but it makes my head hurt worse.

The number one thing to do is stop drinking soda or caffeine. That’ll just make it worse by restricting the blood flow in your head. – Blakelyn

6)   Hello, I’m a doctor. Use butalbital. I think that you want to get more info about it. Please go to —-> http://mdans20.notlong.com/5AA0ef3 – Cleveland

7)   DRINKING WHAT? at 13 i hope that you are not drinking alcohol. if you are then i have no pity for you

having a headache. oversleeping is a known cause of headaches. 13 is a little early for migraines but not unheard of. you might need to see a neurologist to see if maybe you have migraines and oversleeping/not getting enough sleep and drinking might not be bringing one on. there are medicines to help with migraines. if you are drinking alcohol and you mother knows this then SHAME on her. hope you feel better soon. – christina c

Last night for no reason, my left wrist started hurting. It hurts bad when I try to pick anything up?

Posted by admin on May 30th, 2010

Question 1
Last night for no reason, my left wrist started hurting. It hurts bad when I try to pick anything up?…  I did not injure my wrist in any way. It just started aching a little last night. This morning it is very sore and I cannot grip anything. I am typing with it now and it hurts a little, but when I move my hand to the left it is very painful.

Answers
1)   u probably just twisted it happens to everyone – Ahmed A

2)   If you’ve ever broken the bone, then bad weather could cause the bone to hurt and ache. Happens to me all the time. – Eclipse

3)   This may sound strange, but you may have only stressed your wrist. I went to the doctor with the same symptoms, and the only strenuous wrist activity I had done that day was straighten my hair. He told me that I had overworked my wrist.

Buy a wrist brace, and wear it for a couple of days (sleep in it as well). The brace is rather uncomfortable, but it will keep you from using/bending your wrist.

If it’s not better after a couple of days of wearing the brace, you should see your doctor. – roysecity_chick

4)   The pain is caused by the wrist itself, by having a tendon or ligaments tighten up on you pulling the bones together. You can buy a brace for it and hope that the immobilization you give it finally works or you can release the tendons/ligaments and get relief right now. Here is how to release your wrist to get rid of this pain:

Wrist:

With hand resting in front of you and your wrist bent half way closed, press down hard slightly behind the wrist and hold that pressure. After 30 seconds slowly open your wrist up as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your wrist open for another 30 seconds. – Douglas B

5)   The obvious reason for carpel tunnel and weak muscles is magnesium deficiency. There are different kinds of magnesium and I take one with magnesium malate in it.

The unobvious reason for this kind of problem is our diets. We eat too much sugar, coffee, processed foods and our bodies are always bombarded with free radicals from just processing our foods. But when we eat wrong foods and are around a lot of toxins (in the air, water, foods, chemicals) we even have more free radicals. Free radicals cause oxidative stress and oxidative stress is responsible for our cells not being able to receive all the nutrients we need including minerals and trace minerals. When we become deficient, we become sick.

Getting oxidative stress off of our cells is the key to being healthy from the inside out.

Check out the sources.

Hope this helps. – Sans

Question 2
my ear is bleeding please help?…  Hi,

I just woke up and had a shower,after the shower, I stick a Qtip in my left ear and found a blotch of blood on it, it looks as if it’s from the side walls of the ear canal and not the bottom, could you tell me what it is and if I should go to a doctor??

Answers
1)   well its nothing but go see a doc ….its better to kill some dolars than your ear….. – Solid

2)   Probably just a pimple. I wouldn’t worry about it unless your hearing is impaired or you have other symptoms, like pain. – BlackSunshine84

3)   its nothing to worry about, you might just have a little cut in your ear somewhere. but if you think its serious than just a little cut, then go to the doctors. – Sweet

4)   That’s why they say don’t put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear. That said, (i use cue tips too) perhaps you were a little too aggressive with the cue tip, perhaps you weren’t paying attention enough, rushing to get dressed. Poked you tympanic membrane and started a bleed, may have dislodged a sucking parasite that had crawled into your ear, or disturbed a pimple. A blotch of blood on a cue-tip wouldn’t concern me much unless it continues. Check to make sure no parasite has taken up residence there. – Terry

Question 3
Wife’s mystery diagnoses and pain killer use is draining and things are not getting better. Should I leave?…  My wife and I have been married for 6 years this last February. She was of sound health when we married and her depression was under control. I’ve been diagnosed with a schizo effective disorder and used to be medicated for it but have been off meds going on 6 years now. I am stable but have an evolved anger problem. We both don’t work. We have a son turning 5 next month and he has been diagnosed with CAH. Going on 4 years now my wife has developed a backpain problem that is continually getting worse. She takes MS-Contin, Diladid, and Muscle Relaxers. We moved away from family to get a bit closer to doctors. I’m having a hard time getting along with my son these days. My wife is usually behind a closed door that our son cannot open it without assistance. He will be with me for most of the duration of the day until we have at each other and he’s let into the the bedroom where we both get temporary relief from one another. I get called back in shortly after to remove him so she can go back to sleep.

I’ve had to be the bad guy in all the disciplining of our son. Ive had to be the one that’s had to drag him out of the bedroom the past 2 years because she can’t have him in there.

I’ve been having a hard time coping lately. I either wake up to my wife calling my name above my head saying I need to go lay down in the morning or my son terrorizing the Apt. There really is no "family" time. I’ve started to develop somewhat of a hatred towards my wife that has begun to rub off on my child. I don’t hate either of them but I feel a fire every day because I know it will be a repeat from the day prior. I feel regrets for ever getting into this mess. I never had aggressive or anger in me before we met and over the past couple of years it feels as if I were put in a corner.

My son is becoming unmanageable. I don’t beat him but he gets three from time to time. He doesn’t like it and either do I. I could probably use the help of someone to talk to but I honestly don’t think that will change what’s happening here in our home. I’d like to leave. My mother could assist me until I get into a routine with my son. I could use a much needed break. I left about a month ago for a week. It was the first time break I’ve gotten since my son was born. I came back to an utter disaster in the apartment and the same kitty litter on the floor that was thrown at me by our son when I left and the same scenario is here still.

Am I an enabler. I don’t see health issues getting better. back pains just the worst of it. She always has something else wrong with her too whether it be migraines or hip pain or whatever. I’m LDS not that that makes a difference. I haven’t really wanted to even go. The life seems to get sucked right out of me within a day and I look at my situation and ask myself what’s it all for. I have no real motivation from her to even want to continue this. This is all in a nutshell. To me it is worst case scenario. I wake up angry because I’m still dealing with the day before. I know anger is not a valid excuse for divorce but I honestly don’t think it’s the fuse to all of this.

Can anyone give criticism that could be helpful? Thank you.

Answers
1)   Im sorry for everything your going through. i would suggest you talk to her. May not be fun but should be done. If it isn’t healthy for you two to be together esp with your child then you separate. I have a 5 year old and he is omg a little firecracker some times he is the cutest little angel some moments he is the spawn from satan and i always have to be the bad guy… im a single parent… i think asking for help from family is what you need give you a break for a bit to just do whatever u want to breath. I dont know about finances but maybe putting him in daycare or k4 would help =D alot of time when no one works they dont have a schedule and structure.I also suggest a support group for single parents. I know you are married but it seems you feel like a single parent but its a good place to vent and get good advice from people that can relate. – Bittersweetlife

2)   Sometimes the best thing to do is talk about it with a neutral party. In my opinion, you should not be asking complete strangers whether you should leave your wife or not. You made a commitment till death do you part, for better or worse. You should do everything in your power to make your marriage and family work.

The neutral party you should seek is a family counselor, or a marriage counselor. Counselors can help you and your wife understand what each other are going through, and help you save your family. – roysecity_chick

3)   All your symptoms, the depression, muscle pains, are signs of magnesium deficiency. It may not be all the problem but it sounds like the major problem.

You need different magnesiums because they do different things. I would take a magnesium that has at least 3 different kinds in it. Malate is one that I would look into. You need to be taking magnesium and your wife and your son. Your wife may need to take some in the morning and during the day. You need to take some at least in the morning and at night and possibly during the day. When your muscles start hurting, take more. You will need much more than what is recommended on the bottle.

All minerals are important so you all may need to take the major minerals plus trace minerals.

Check out oxidative stress as well. Really. Oxidative stress is the cause for over 300 diseases. When you get that under control then your body can actually absorb more nutrients and minerals and with this stress off of your cells, your body can heal. I’m going to give you some sights to look up. Look them all up and get a better understanding of why you are having these problems. Get all of you healthy and you will have your family back. – Sans

4)   One thing you should be doing is getting your wife better so she can become a part of the family again. And it is possible to get rid of those pains she is having, I have been through it myself and finally found how to do it. The muscles are pinched and that is what is giving her the pain and she will continue to be in pain as long as the muscles aren’t released. Here is how to release the muscles in her back and neck, the two main places you mentioned:

Neck

Put your hands alongside your head so your thumbs are on the front of the muscle under your ear and your fingers are on the back of the muscle behind your head. Squeeze your thumb and fingers together and hold. Relax your body. After 45 seconds, slowly lower your head as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your neck lowered for another 30 seconds.

With your neck in the lowered position, replace your thumbs in under the ears and your fingers behind your head but right next to your skull this time. Press your fingers and thumbs together again and hold. Relax your body while waiting. When the muscles have all released, slowly lift your head until it’s level again, release the pressure but hold your head like that for another 30 seconds.

Back:

(do from a sitting position)

Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and find the muscles next to your spine and press on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side – Douglas B

Question 4
I have TMJ, my jaw seems to hurt worse after exercising. Has anyone felt the same? Why is this?…  Is this common? What can I do to ease the pain?

Some days I can barely open my jaw, maybe I’m clenching my teeth while exercising making my TMJ worse?

Answers
1)   Yes, my jaw pain is while i’m exercising….mainly went i ride a bike up the hill…had to do it every day for 5 years to go to school! Not really sure why, maybe i clenched my jaw unknowingly? yeah well i don’t like riding up hills lol – ƦєdAиgєℓ

2)   I think most of our American women are magnesium deficient and that causes so many symptoms. That could be a reason for your TMJ and also if your feet turn inward, that gets your skeletal system off and can end up with the pain in your jaw with TMJ. That is what happened to me and I have to wear orthodics.

And, both of these might add to the problem. Check out the sources.

Hope this helps.

"There are number of conditions that have been linked to magnesium deficiencies and have also been found to be more common among women. These conditions include:

TMJ (90% of those seeking treatment are women in their child bearing years)" (See source below) – Sans

3)   The clenching would make it worse, yes. But you don’t have to be in pain from this at all in the first place. The muscles in the back of your jaw have tightened up and need to be released to get rid of the pain. Here is how to rid yourself of the TMJ syndrome:

Jaw muscles, TMJ:

Put your fingers on your head so your thumbs are behind your ears. Press into the back of your jaw next to the skull and hold that pressure. After 30 seconds slowly raise your head until your neck is fully extended then open your mouth as far as you can. Release the pressure but hold your head and mouth like that for another 30 seconds. – Douglas B

I fell on my wrist while ice-skating yesterday, everything i do with my hand hurts, what is wrong with it?

Posted by admin on May 29th, 2010

Question 1
I fell on my wrist while ice-skating yesterday, everything i do with my hand hurts, what is wrong with it?…  when i swivel my wrist it hurts in the tendons and in the joint. also, i can’t out any weight on it. I also can’t play the piano without pain.

Answers
1)   Ice it and go to the doc if it hurts that bad – Bob

2)   um. first you should go the damn hospital.

and you probably sprained it or broke it…-_-;; – Maria

3)   It might be broken. Put ice on it and go to the emergency. Good luck :) –

4)   You may have fractured or sprained your hand. Please see a doctor or go to the hospital. They may put a splint (a temporary cast) on your hand. Try not to move your hand. – Simple Minded

5)   At the best case, you may have some bruising in/around your wrist or on the muscles. At the worst case, you could have cartilage damage or you could have fractures on the small bones in the wrist. To fully determine the extent of your injury you should seek medical attention. – tchicken13

6)   You jammed it and have a slight sprain in it which means the tendons tightened up on you and are making the muscle shorter than it should be and icing it will try to shorten it some more and end up being more painful in the end. You can release your sprained muscle in your wrist and the pain and swelling should go as soon as you are done with that. Here is how to release it:

Wrist:

With hand resting in front of you and your wrist bent half way closed, press down hard slightly behind the wrist and hold that pressure. After 30 seconds slowly open your wrist up as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your wrist open for another 30 seconds. – Douglas B

7)   Could be a sprain or a hair line fracture. Soak in warm water with Epsom’s mineral salts. It may take 4-5 days to get back to normal. Take it easy on that hand a few days. If it takes longer consult a doctor about it. – Hodmimir Woods

8)   You are going to have to give it time to heal. Be patient. The body is good to heal if we give it a chance. – Sans

Question 2
Is my appendix about to burst or in bad condition?…  My lower right stomach has been hurting recently. I have not been feeling well with some minor head aches. My lower back hurts too but i believe that is from hockey. Please respond!

Answers
1)   No way to tell from your description. Appendicitis is extremely painful. I mean horribly so. It hurts bad, you puke, you have a fever and it hurts when you press your stomach. If you don’t have these symptoms, dont’ fret. – SethSpeaks

2)   Not necessarily but definitely worth getting checked out. If it is your appendix it will not go away on it’s own. It will gradually get worse and worse to the point that you can barely walk. Go to the doctor or at very least give your doctor or nurse line a call. – jayden11805

3)   If the pain is from your appendix, and you need surgery, you won’t have time to clean out your internal organs. If it is not your appendix, you should have time to clean them out. The best way is to clean out the oxidative stress on your cells. Free radicals cause oxidative stress and oxidative stress causes over 300 diseases and sicknesses. If your appendix is inflammed, then you need to get your oxidative stress under control. There is lots of studies on how to do this. – Sans

4)   ok bro, this is brutal, i know you were planning to wait til you were 40 or 50 or 60 before the DR pulled the latex glove on and asked to lay on you side and relax while the DR explores an exit only orafice.

so if you have a really cool wife, have her check you out- the already excrutiating pain will intensify greatly when she pushes out to one side ( don t remember which one- she will have to push out all the way around )

usually if you can walk normally, you probably did not burst the appendix

with the lower back pain and the stomach aches it sound like you are a little full, ease up on the red meat and try to flush your system, like a 2 stroke engine needs oil in the fuel, you need some vegetables to process that meat.

are you keeping yourself properly hydrated- water and lemonade

if this continues go see the DR – joeman

I’ve had a dull pumping headache for about 4 days now…?…  well today i woke up and my neck was really stiff so i rolled my shoulders and my neck made a clicking or cracking sound (not loud at all just like a slow cracking) and all day today i cant move my neck its completly stuck when i move it i yelp its so frustrating and i want to know if anyone has felt this way before? what can i do to relax it (yes ive tried otc pain relief meds-motrin tylenol exedrin bengay- and hot showers) they lend temporary relief (30min to 1 hpour) then the pain is back two-fold also does anyone think this could be a serious situation? what causes should be considered? plz help

Answers
1)   The headache sounds as if it is being caused by brain swelling. Your neck, I’m not sure. Either go to a walk-in clinic, or to the ER. From the sounds of it, this problem is most likely way out of your control, so go get some help. – Mitch

2)   I’ve been hearing a lot of friends and co-workers complain of stiff neck and lower back pain. This is allergy season so this may be the reason. I had a stiff neck for 2 days then it was gone. A friend’s lasted for 3 weeks.

Also look up chem trails.

Oxidative stress is the cause for pain and inflammation as well as allergies. – Sans

3)   Your headache and the problem of not being able to turn your neck are both caused by the same problem, tight muscles in your neck. Once they are released the headache will be gone and you will be able to turn your head as well. Here is how to release your neck muscles:

Neck

Put your hands alongside your head so your thumbs are on the front of the muscle under your ear and your fingers are on the back of the muscle behind your head. Squeeze your thumb and fingers together and hold. Relax your body. After 45 seconds, slowly lower your head as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your neck lowered for another 30 seconds.

With your neck in the lowered position, replace your thumbs in under the ears and your fingers behind your head but right next to your skull this time. Press your fingers and thumbs together again and hold. Relax your body while waiting. When the muscles have all released, slowly lift your head until it’s level again, release the pressure but hold your head like that for another 30 seconds. – Douglas B

4)   Hello, I’m a doctor. Use butalbital. I think that you want to get more info about it. Please go to —-> http://husa6.notlong.com/6AAlfsv – Lucian

Question 4
Ripping pain in area around right ovary or appendix when coughing?…  I’ve had a cold for about 2 weeks now and about a week ago, at night, I would fell a ripping pain in my right ovary (I think) when I coughed. It worsened as I coughed more. This would happen almost every night. Then today when I woke up coughing the pain was there again but it started off strong and when I tried to get up it was still hurting. It also now hurts when I walk, move, cough, sneeze, etc. The pain is quite severe but definitely bare able, and is next to my right hip bone. Does anyone know if this is my appendix or ovary and what is causing it?

Answers
1)   Well I am a male and have had my appendix taken out.

If it is the case that your appendix is inflamed then you would be puking up everything you eat and the pain wouldn’t be bearable…Like I said I am a male I’m not quite sure about the ovaries.. – Chris

2)   Could be an ovarian cyst…go to your doc and he/she will send you for a sonogram. Best to get it checked out because it could be a problem if it is a cyst and it ruptures. It could also be your appendix since that is on the right side. Don’t take any chances and see your doc asap. – Ann E

3)   When we are in bed and cough or sneeze we are likely to get a muscle pinched in our backs and those muscles can either be transferring pain around the body or it can be the pain itself. When pinched in the back it can make it harder to walk because when you stand up all the weight is on the area that is pinched. Here is how you can release those muscles which would cause the problems:

Back:

(do from a sitting position)

Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and find the muscles next to your spine and press on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side. – Douglas B

4)   Hello, I’m a doctor. Use Tramadol. I think that you want to get more info about it. Please go to —-> http://husa4.notlong.com/3AAZ6pF – Lucian

___________________________________________________

Question 5
Why does my side hurt?…  The area above my right hip bone is really sore and sensitive. It feels like there are dulled stabbing pains inside and they just spread lower. It’s not near the navel, but it’s more toward the side of my body and I have this icy feeling spreading around the area. I thought of appendicitis, but the symptoms for that are worse, like nausea and fever, both of which I don’t have, so I’m not sure what’s wrong with me. Please help!

Answers
1)   I wonder if it is a kidney problem. Please see a doctor soon. – Simple Minded

2)   Are you a female? Do you eat soy? If so stop eating it and it should clear up in about a week. Soy has a lot of natural estrogen and when our cells are overloaded with estrogen the ovaries will hurt. Only gets worse. It takes about a week to clear out the estrogen after stopping the soy.

This happened to me and my right side hurt for 4 months and it spread to my left side as well. Not quite as bad as appendicitis but hurt just the same.

I wish you would have given more information. – Sans

3)   Go to the doc that sounds serious. – Bob

4)   i had appendicitis with NO fever, NO nausea, and a NORMAL white blood cell count. they found it with UltraSound. if you’ve had the pain for a while now, you should probably go to emergency. best wishes. – moomie

Question 2
One of my ears has been hurting today. Could anything be wrong?…  My brother complained about ear pain 2 days ago BTW. Today I woke up fine, but then I picked up something from the floor and when I was all up I felt a really weird pain in the top of my head and took a little to go away. Then everything was fine until my right ear started hurting, but like in the inside, and then the right side of my head was all hurting. The pain wouldn’t stay, it would go away and then come back. It has been like that the whole day. First the inside of the ear hurts and then goes away but the entire right side of the head starts hurting. Like rinse and repeat. It’s kinda annoying to be honest.

I’ve always been healthy so that’s why I’m a little freaked out. And my brother complaining about ear pain too makes me feel weird. He’s 19 and I’m 21. Can there be any virus or something? I don’t know anything about this.

5)   Go to a doctor or walk-in clinic. You may have an ear infection, which could get really nasty and painful if not treated. Plus you get good pain meds. – SSF Tofu Beast

6)   you both need to go to the doctors and get checked out – Pearl L

oh and its pretty swollen with a couple deformities.

If yes to both, then I would go to a doctor. If yes to only the first one, ice it for 30 minutes every 4-6 hours.

Is there a bruise?

If there is, it’s most likely not broken or sprained.

However, you should see a doctor if you wonder because if it goes untreated you could be out longer or even loose the foot if you wait too long. – X M

4)   your fine. just ice it. you wouldnt be able to run on it if it were broken, and no youre not THAT tough. – gostate

my toe that had an ingrown toenail (might still have one) hurts on the side. what do i do?

Posted by admin on May 26th, 2010

Question 1
my toe that had an ingrown toenail (might still have one) hurts on the side. what do i do?…  I had an ingrown toenail on my left big toe. it was kind of red and it hurt. using a bunch of different utensils i managed to find the shard and cut it out. the 2 weeks following that my toe felt much better, though it hurt slightly. Starting yesterday, my toe started hurting again on the same side as the original ingrown part, but when i checked my toenail, it wasn’t inside my toe at all. I think that there might still be some of the original ingrown toenail and that i only got part of it out, because my toe still hurts when i push on the side of it.

I will give best answer to person that gives the best suggestion or answer to my question.

Answers
1)   cry – J.

2)   Time for the Doctor! – ThisGuy

3)   maybe u should go get it checked but did u take out ur nail completely – Alexis

4)   they have these cool things called oarnge sticks its like a wooden stick with lubricant on the end. you slide them inbetween the edge of your toenail and tour toe on the sides and it loosens ingrown toenails to the point where you can pick them out with tweezers i hope i helped! – Melanie

5)   Hello, I’m a doctor. Use terbinafine. I think that you want to get more info about it. Please go to —-> http://webmd65.notlong.com/AAqf07t – Eleanore

6)   after a hot bath or shower, take some of the cotton from a Q-tip and jam it under the nail. this will ( because the recently bathed nail is soft) cause it to grow up and out of the area that it is digging into. – Snotalie

___________________________________________________

Question 2
Do I need to see a doctor?…  Okay I have very bad ear problems and its been happening for a loooooooooong time. I can’t touch them, they itch, sometimes they itch so much i have to dig inside and itch them and its both ears, sometimes they hurt so bad I can’t lay on them. So do I need to see a doctor, or any over the counter medicine I could take about this?

Answers
1)   Rub some dirt on it!! – turd ferguson

2)   Oh my goddess. You DO need to see a doctor. That could be an infection, and by the look of it, it’s a nasty one indeed. – Joana

3)   go to a doctor and he might tell you some over the counter medicine or just give you some samples of high dose medicine which may be only for a couple days even :) good luck and hope you feel better – Nat

4)   holy shit. – rolypoly

5)   You should really see a doctor it could be a an inner ear problem and they can make you lose balance the worst case is losing hearing or it could just be the build up of ear wax and it is an infection. – Colten

Question 3
will u die instantly if someone breaks ur neck?…  from that new show Nietta or something like that. just wondering. Not actually going to to it to someone :)

Answers
1)   Not necessarily, but yes, it’s deadly if not treated. – Désespoir

2)   You can yes, but there are some people who have there necks broken and live, they just end up paralized. There are lucky people who have broken there necks and actually recoverd fully. – Candymancan21

3)   Yes, it is possible, but I know of racecar drivers that have broken their neck and gone on to live a normal, healthy life. In a couple of instances, they have also gone back to racing.

It depends entirely on how the neck is broken, where the break is and how it is initially treated. – Dirty Sanchez

4)   It depends on what damage is incurred by the spinal cord. In the army, one of the hand to hand moves taught is a "sentry takedown"(atleast when I was in basic). Not only is the neck snapped but also it is elongated and the spinal cord is severely "disrupted". It spells instant death for the hapless sob on the receiving end of it. But in all fairness, the move, if done improperly, can also spell disaster for the person performing it, leaving both parties dead or severely injured.

It’s definately a "don’t try this at home" type move. – teafortwo

Question 4
does love hurts or kill?…  cause i feel like is taking my heart out

Answers
1)   I think it kills.. Who needs love all the love I have is from my friends and family :) – Ciara D

2)   It usually hurts a lot if you’re an adult, but it can kill if you’re still a teen…

It can also kill if the person you love has a knife and you accidentally fall on top of it. – Joana

3)   The feeling of "love" hurting is thought to be a physical response to a mental state and hormones caused by the brain. Medically, the heart has nothing at all to do with the love emotion but hormones can sometimes make us feel a pain or tightness in the chest area.

There has never actually been a recorded case of a person dying because of love, a relationship ending or unrequited love. However, in few cases it’s believe that people have committed suicide over lost love.

I believe that life is full of lessons we need to learn, so whatever is causing you pain of anguish today – will make you stronger and more prepared for the lessons that come next. Until you learn these lessons the hard way, you will never reach your potential for happiness, love, fulfillment and pleasure. Don’t waste time feeling miserable and sorry for yourself if something special ends, instead examine how YOU could’ve handled the same situation better and move on to something else. – Dave F

Question 5
Will just one cigarette affect healing from minor surgery?…  I’m getting minor surgery (closed rhinoplasty) done in a week and yesterday I smoked a cigarette without thinking. I quit completely 2 weeks before the date of the operation (I never smoked very much anyway, like 1 a day), and this cigarette yesterday is the one time I’ve slipped up. Will that have a severe affect on my recovery? I’m getting worried…

I’m 18 and otherwise healthy.
Apparently it decreases oxygen in the blood, making healing slower?

Answers
1)   Nothing to worry about. However nicotine is so toxic that the one cigarette will show in your blood for a year! – Cave Creek

2)   lol. don’tt worry, the cig toxins will flush out of your system :) good luck with the minor surgery – JelloMonster

3)   Sally, be serious. No, it will not have an impact. Take fish oil pills everyday though, they help everything in your body be well. – Rastro

my backs hurts when i sleep flat on it ? why?

Posted by admin on May 12th, 2010

Question 1
my backs hurts when i sleep flat on it ? why?…  i go to sleep and i always sleep on my sides but lately i just wake up laying flat on my back and my back kills me im only 17 and i need answers plz=]

Answers
1)   17 is a tender age, it’s just old age creepy up on you my dear. Best look around for your care home now hun – Ψ it’s a demigod Ϟ

2)   Most likely its something wrong with your bed. But for know just sleep on your side until you get some answers. – swordfish

3)   my back hurts when i sleep flat on it and i always assumed it was due to the fact that i have big boobs and i keep my back in a certain position all day to support the weight, so when i lay flat, i force my back into a position it isn’t used to. – Leila__em

4)   Maybe it’s unrelated to sleeping, maybe you’re developing something that affects your back. If it lasts, get it checked out!

If you work out or lift stuff, make sure you’re doing it right ’cause doing it wrong can make your back hurt. Also maybe you need to sit better when you’re at the computer

If worse comes to worse, you can buy this belt thing you fasten around your waist before you go to sleep. It’ll force you to roll back onto your side if you happen to roll onto your back during the night. And it won’t wake you up!

I saw it on a TV offer – Unlucky Guy

5)   Big boobs causing back pain? I don’t think so, too many of them look pretty bushy tailed and bright eyed to me to be having that problem.

You have a pinched muscle in your back. When you sleep on your side you probably curl up some so it opens the space up between the vertebrae which gives it room so the pressure is off. When you lay on your back it is pinching it tight and you feel the pain. Here is how you can release your back muscles to get rid of this pain:

Back:

(do from a sitting position)

Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and find the muscles next to your spine and press on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side. – Douglas B

6)   See your health care provider as soon as possible (orthopedic). Low back pain usually involves spasm of the large supportive muscle alongside the spine. Any injury to the back may produce such spasms. Pain–often severe–and stiffness result. The onset of pain may be immediate or may occur some hours after exertion or injury. Often the cause isn’t clear.

Heat applied to the affected area will provide some relief. You may take acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen as long as you feel significant pain. If significant pain persists beyond a week, call the doctor.

I hope this helps you. And good luck. – imsety

Question 2
My legs are sore when I run.. and days after?…  I hate hate hate stretching before i run, but I always stretch after..

that might be the problem.. but ive been running for a month now.. maybe im running too much.. but i gradually worked up my distance, and just 2 years ago i was in great shape… im only 20.. and thats when i got a full time job two years ago and just didnt play sports anymore. so i took up running again, and its painful.

any methods or suggestions?
the pain is more my shins and muscle in the lower leg.. also the muscles around the knee cap.. I have heard that women have bad knee’s. But I always used to run down dirt roads, and now I live in town and run on pavement, and I guess that could be something to do with it, since it;s no good for running.

Answers
1)   Take A Steam Bath With Bubbles!! Bubbles Soothe Everything Believe It Or Not…

Rest And Enjoy Your Bath My Friend(: – ~*Britney*~

2)   if you,re not doing it; warm up. slow down a bit on your run. you,re gonna pull a muscle. then you,ll quit. i always warm up for any exercise. – David

3)   Why would you stretch after the damage is done? sorry, that just doesn’t make any sense. On the other hand I don’t think it’s about the stretching here anyway. Pain is coming from the muscles and has to be released and I don’t know of any stretch that can do that. I take it the pain has to be in the thigh area so here is how to release that muscle:

While sitting and feet flat on the floor, wrap both hands around one of your thighs and apply a good amount of pressure and hold it there. Now relax the rest of your body except for your hands. After one minute slowly slide that leg forward until the leg is fully extended, release the pressure but continue holding the leg extended for another 30 seconds. Then do the other leg. – Douglas B

4)   Your legs are sore because there not used to the exercise anymore. The pain is natural and if you keep exercising it will go away eventually. If you want something to help with the pain try tiger balm, or Ben gay. – swordfish

5)   You didn’t say what part of your legs hurt, so I’m guessing here.

It could be a lactic acid, which is a result of exercise. You may need to stretch more or walk slowly for a few minutes at the end of your run to help flush it from your muscles.

Or it could be a reaction to the stretching, and if so you need to stretch more often, even if you aren’t running.

Again, it would help to know what part of your legs are hurting, which muscles, joints or shins. – randyrayd

Question 3

3)   It would probably make your skin really dry cause the alcohal would dry it out. – Jessy

4)   I actually used it a couple time on my face. It does dry out my face but I used the one with Aloe Vera and it was fine. It makes my face really feel clean and my pores were noticable smaller!

How do I know if I’ve broken my nose?…  Ok, I got into a fight at school and got headbuted in the nose, it bled a little bit afterwards and now it’s swallen up. It looks like it’s bent to one side, I don’t know if I should tell my mum about it or if I should just leave it to heel it’s self? Can someone please answer me thanks x

Answers
1)   Tell your mother. If you don’t get it X-rayed now and fixed, it could remain crooked for the rest of your life. I would rather face my angry mother than have a crooked nose. – Zgirl

2)   you should urgently and seriousley go to the doctors as soon as possible because this is a very serious matter!! lol what are you waiting for

can you not call an ambulance?? – Hazel Jones :) <33

3)   If it’s dislodged and swollen, it’s probably broken. Tell your mother and go the the doctor unless you want it to heal that way. – Courtney

4)   Yes, actually if your nose is to one side that means you broke it so tell your mom to take you to the doctor so that he can give that nose of yours a checkup. Oh and if your mom doesn’t know how you broke your nose and you don’t want her to find out just tell her you fell off your bike and landed face first…its up to you on that part. – Cesar

Question 5
Do fillins hurt???………….?…  i need 3 fillins, and i hate the dentist but i really need to go, i also have a massive phobea of needles, i hate them! My mum tells me it doesn’t hurt, but i think she is saying that just so i feel better about it.

So im asking you guys to see if i does hurt really? and how much :) thanksss

Answers
1)   they dont hurt at all.

unless your dentist is on crack :] – torridawes

2)   I’m with you, I hate the needles. For the dentist I found out that the pain that comes from that needle was a lot less than I had with the pain from having bad teeth. If you are just having fillings you may not need any shot. That is only if they get into the nerves that they have to numb you up. Like I said, compared to tooth pain which is 24/7, the little jab you feel from that needle pales in comparison. – Douglas B

3)   Take it from someone who knows from experience. Before they give you the fillings they rub numbing gel on your gums so you don’t feel any pain. I’ve had fillings before so I know. – swordfish
