Could you really walk away from this without injury?

Posted by admin on August 20th, 2010

Question 1
Could you really walk away from this without injury?…  Now i see in a lot of shows people falling from over 2 stories and running away without an injury what so ever. can this really be done and if so could you say what kind of injuries would occur from lets say 10 feet then 20 then 30 and so on. Thankyou

Answers
1)   Yeah right,only if they landing on feathers – Yeah man!

2)   10 feet, you would probs get sore legs,

20 feet you might sprain something

30 feet you would break your legs if you fell without landing on something soft – 00nerd4

3)   People have walked away from falling off 8 story buildings, the key is total relaxation. That is why alot of people who drive drunk survive crashes, the alcohol make them relaxed, hence, they survive! – Adrianna

4)   It has a lot to do with luck man. My uncle fell out of a tree and is paralyzed from the waist down and about a month ago i read an article where a young child fell out of a third or fourth story window and landed in a bush and only had scratches. – ryan a

5)   That depends on what and how they land. – thresher

6)   I fell ten feet and got seriously hurt, I highly doubt its possible. I’m lucky Im alive. – Brooke

Question 2
Why does my eye keep twitching? HELP!?…  Its been happening for about two years now. I’ve learned to live with it but I would love to know how to stop it. It would get to the point where it would twitch sooo much i wouldn’t be able to see out of that eye becuase the eyelid is in the way. Or i would have to hold it down with my hand.

Any advise?

Answers
1)   Could be caused by stress. Or sleeplessness. My advice is to chill out.. maybe take a nap. – Logan

2)   stress adervation andnot enough sleep thats what causes it – Jeanne

3)   It’s called a tic. Have you seen a neurologist? That would be my suggestion. Could be mild siezure activity, or something as simple as a vitamin or mineral deficiency. Good Luck and God Bless – junebug

4)   I used to have the same exact problem, mine was contributed to stress and ended up going away after I learned to calm myself down. Try doing something to relax yourself every day and it should go away:) – Aj Smith

5)   Perhaps you need extra magnesium as in nuts. – Susan Yarrawonga

Question 3
How long will it take weed to get out of my system?…  On tuesday night I was drunk and took 4 hits of swag. I have a drug test on Tuesday next week for track. I weigh about 95lbs at 5′3 and eat alll the time. I have a fast metabolism. How long will it get out of my system? What will get it out quickly? Do at home drug tests give you the same results the one they give me? It will be a urine drug test btw.

Answers
1)   Well, for most people it takes about 30 days, but since it was swag it should still only take about 30 days. – Amuna Pulamare

2)   if you drink enough alcohol you can clear out your system in a day…and possibly suffer alcohol poisoning but at least alcohol is out of your system in 24 hours and the only time that’s not true is if you drink literally all day – Jessie

3)   whether its swag, kush, or the finest ganja it all just depends on how much you smoke.

what i suggest (this being things you could do right now because the best would be take detox) is to drink lots and lots of water,

except on the day on the test because they can tell if you are trying to flood your system out.

Also, if you can take it, drink pickle juice.

Or even better than water, cranberry juice (whether it be cran-apple or whatever)

You should be fine if you do any of these.

Good luckk. – beth

4)   If you haven’t smoked ANY pot before the party it should only take about a week for the thc to be gone. DON’T try and drink it out. Work up a good sweat every day and keep your system a little acidic. Home tests work the same way as the facility tests. – Daniel

5)   It usually takes from 3-30 days so to speed up the process perhaps you could do a Niacin THC detox. – Susan Yarrawonga

Question 5
Why are headaches such a pain?…  I’ve always had at least one head ache a week, but lately it’s been every day.

I already had my period at the beginning of the month. It’s summer, I get enough sleep. I drink enough liquids. I haven’t changed my diet.

Everytime I get a headache, I take 2 Moltrins. After a while of doing this, wouldn’t it have no effect on me?

Do I need to consult my doctor?

WHY AM I GETTING SO MANY?

I do get stressed a lot, I get light headed when there’s a strong scent, sometimes my pony tail is too tight..

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

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

2)   It is more than likely that the headaches are cervicogenic (caused by the neck)

A physical therapist can help, but before you go, do a few neck stretches with 30 second holds (up, down, left, right, tip left ear to shoulder, tip right ear to shoulder)

Seems like a lot, but this is a 3 minute treatment, which is pretty good – Ben Mcleod

3)   The reason that you are probably getting light headed is because your more sensitive when you have headaches. My guess is that they are due to stress and the Motrin you are taking now isn’t helping because you have probably used so much your body has become immune to it. Youre headaches also may contribute to lack of sleep or any major changes in weather. (which there have been alot of lately) haha Try taking vitamins and just remember to get a healthy amount of sleep Hope you feel better! – Aj Smith

4)   You are on the right track. Head aches come from

•Muscles

•Blood vessels (the arteries and veins that supply the brain, face and scalp with blood and take it away)

•Sinuses

The brain does not have nerve endings that can send pain signals. It can receive signals from other parts of the body, including the scalp and skull, but the brain itself can’t send out a pain message.

So your head aches could be caused by scents, or your pony tail too tight. You need to start being aware of what occurs immediately before your head ache. If the same stimulus is present, you will know what to avoid. – ranger_co_1_75

Please read. Could this be worse then we think ?

Posted by admin on August 12th, 2010

Question 1
Please read. Could this be worse then we think ?…  So I am asking This for my fiance, He has a port-wine stain birthmark on his Face and it goes behind his ear a bit, I am sure there must have bin like a little freckle there or something and he scratched it. Since then it has swollen up to look like a big mole and it bleeds bad anytime anything rubs against it. He has bin using polysporin for like 2 weeks and nothing is making it better. He does have a doctors app in 2 weeks So my question is should he wait or go in right away Do you think it is anything serious Because my fiance is getting worried ? Thank you

Answers
1)   Def go right away. That doesn’t sounds normal. – little man omg

2)   See the Doc asap! – mark

3)   you should probably go in right away. It could just be something minor that they’ll give him something to clear it up or laser it off if they have to, but it could be a form of skin cancer. Don’t be worried, skin cancer is pretty much one of the easiest kinds to treat if you catch it early, which i think you have. they’ll basically just use a laser to take the mole-thingy off and run a few tests on it. – kmbsweetie

Question 2
What are good ways to relieve pain?…  i am having cramps

lower back pain

stomaches aches

sometimes feelin like i want to throw up

for about 5 days now

and way i can relieve the pain

(home remedies would be great)

i cant eat rite now so maybe something that doesnt

include food but u can still tell me food remedies

Answers
1)   vikadin – Ethan Miller

2)   I’ll make this easy for you, your back pain is caused by tight muscles in your back and to get rid of that pain you have to release your back muscles. Once you do that the rest of those pains will be gone as well. Here’s how to release them:

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, fingers over the back and the palm in the front 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)   Swimming or a warm bath. Positioning yourself with pillows and a heating pad while resting. Try treating the symptoms individually reducing some and hopefully more relief will follow. Some people loose appetite when they do not feel well. Try some saltine crackers or some carrots, small bites just to ease stomach discomfort. Ice chips seem to keep your mouth busy and still help with hydration. good luck – Melanie

Question 3
is it safe to crack my own back and neck without using my hands by just twisting?…  I can crack my back easily just going down left and right it cracks itself very easily. also as my

neck.. should i keep doing that or should i stop? is it safe everytime i do it i feel like kinda painful but relieves the tension. and also i like chiropractors but they too expensive. If its cheaper price ill go since my insurance doesnt cover it paying $40 for 15min. I live in Long beach Ca.

Answers
1)   I would think that it is very unhealthy to do things like that, but im not a chiropractor…so what do i know. just be careful not to damage stuff that is unfixable, like your back…and your neck (haha i made a funny) – Ladnar

2)   Normally it shouldn’t be a problem.

If you keep feeling the need to crack your back it’s because you have tight muscles in it that you should really release and that would take care of the need to keep cracking it. Once the muscles are fully released they don’t usually tighten up again unless there is trauma to them. Here’s how to release your neck and back 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.

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, fingers over the back and the palm in the front 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)   Lucky you, I wish I could still crack my neck & back by myself, yet. Enjoy it while you can. As you get older you won’t be able to it. My chiropractor told me that if you can do it that’s great, but as we get older (& he was right). we aren’t as limber as are we are young. It will not hurt you. By the way, I live in MN & we only pay $27 co-pay & we have no chiropractic care with our insurance. I guess, from what I hear things are much more expensive in California. – Carol

Question 4
Random serious brain pain?…  I just had a pain near my temple and it was throbbing and when i put my fingers there i could feel the vein pulsing it was on the right side of my head. I wasnt doing anthing either i was on the computer but i don’t think i was on it all that long.

Answers
1)   Go to sleep – samoajan

2)   It’s caused by tight muscles in your neck. Those muscles go to the top of your head for it’s movements and when they get tight they pull on other muscles until one end can’t give and you have pain there, for you it’s one near your temple. You have to release the muscles in your neck to get rid of this pain and here’s how to do that:

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.

Question 5
I get hemorhoids every month that lasts for about a week?…  I am 22 yrs old and I get hemorhoids every month that lasts for about a week. They hurt and are uncomfortable, should i be concerned? Should i see my doctor if i am getting hemorhoids every month? If i have to get surgery will it hurt? and how long will the healing processes take? Sorry for the many questions!

Answers
1)   Make sure you eat foods to make sure you don’t get/stay constipated. Constipation can cause hemorrhoids while sitting on the can too long.

I would definitely go see a doctor, maybe there are ways to treat them. Good luck! – Cuddlez

2)   Hemorrhoids are when the veins in the anus become engorged with blood and often prolapse to the outside.

These external hemorrhoids are the ones that can be itchy and painful.

You may have internal hemorrhoids that fall out when you move your bowels. Then go back in after a period of time. But don’t actually heal up.

Most people have hemorrhoids for years without any treatment apart from creams to shrink the veins.

Surgery is always a last resort for this problem, as it often reoccurs. Especially in women who get pregnant. As hemorrhoids are so common in pregnancy.

You will be offered medication first.

The surgery, I’ve had it myself, is quiet painful and very uncomfortable. Especially that first bowel movement post surgery.

With taking sitz baths 4 times a day, it takes about one and a half weeks to heal up after surgery. BUT they can easily come back again unless you change your diet, which the Doctor will get you to do as well as the creams. – I do care!

3)   My mother had the surgery and said it is very painful ! – Cora-lee D

Should I see a doctor for this?

Posted by admin on July 25th, 2010

Question 1
Should I see a doctor for this?…  I have been having sharp chest pains and back pains for about a week now. They cause me to have shortness of breath and usually are very sharp pains, especially when I jump or run. I don’t know if this is anything serious though. I’m 15 and am unsure whether I should go or not because two friends told me it’s nothing, while another friend said that I should go. What do I do?

Answers
1)   That is a very serious symptom. It could be a sign of heart trouble. Yes, even at your age, you can have serious heart problems. Go to a Dr. immediately. It is a matter of life and death. – notyou311

2)   Yes, see a doctor. Just to make sure it’s nothing serious. it wont hurt to make sure. :]

hope you feel better, – Bella

3)   Get off the computer, talk to ya parents about it and go to the doctors right now! Youre to young to have probs like this. – RoWy

4)   If you think you have a problem, then you should go to the doctor. Since you posted a question about this, you are probably worried.

My advice is that you should go to the Doctor A.S.A.P because this is unusual for someone your age.

You might have a heart problem. – CoolKat

5)   yes – :)

6)   When in doubt you should always go. Its better to go and have the doctor to tell you its nothing than to not go and find out later you have a serious problem that could have been avoided. Your friends are 15 they know nothing about health care. It sounds serious to me. You should go to the doctor. – Anonymous

___________________________________________________

Question 2
Do Shots Hurt?????????????????????…  Like When You Take Out Blood?

Can U Compare It Too Something?

How About Vaccines?

Which Hurt More?

Answers
1)   lightly pinching your skin. Most of the pain for me is mental. It really doesn’t hurt that much physically.

Vaccines would hurt a little bit more, but not by much.

Edit: I always look away from the needle when I get a shot. – Mark

2)   drawing blood hurts more than vaccines as long as you look away and start humming something and concentrate on something else you wont really feel anything when you get the vaccine. you can also ask your doctor for this numbing spray that will like almost freeze the top of the skin and it feels like ice on your skin for like 5 seconds and you wont feel the needle at ALL. drawing blood does hurt but just don’t think about it don’t LOOK at it whatever you do and listen to your ipod full blast while they do it to avoid the pain. it doesn’t take long so it’ll be ok. hope this helped! :) good luck – Andi G

3)   I would say it doesn’t really hurt much ….i guess you could say that its uncomfortable when the needle pierces your skin but if the nurse knows what she is doing it should hurt at all…

From personal experience drawing blood is the most unpleasant. – Adriana

4)   Less pain full than snapping your fingers,most likely you wont fill a thing.not long ago for a simple blood test they stuck your finger with a razor and placed your finger right on the microscope slide-that stung. – Alexander

___________________________________________________

Question 3
about a wrist piercing!!!??…  i would like to get my wrist pierced tomorrow i need to know everything about it also im 15 can i get it in ct with my moms consent?

Answers
1)   EWWWWW!!! Gross! And OUCH!! Why would you want to get that done gross!! – Bebe

2)   If you wanna look unattractive and stupid and you’re looking to regret something later on GO FOR IT! – Consuelo

3)   It’s a surface piercing, meaning it has a high rejection rate. A surface piercing in a high movement area (like the wrist) is almost guaranteed to reject, so odds are, it won’t last long.

Make sure your piercer knows about surface piercings and uses the proper jewelry (a custom bent surface barbell). Other than that, just follow the aftercare & make sure you don’t over clean it.

I’m not sure about the laws where you are – you’d need to call up a shop or 2 and ask if they’d pierce you. – ℓάced

4)   DON’T DO IT

that is the worst idea ever

all of that comes with infection problems and it looks discusting – Adriana

___________________________________________________

Question 4
Should I be worried about chest pain?…  Yesterday afternoon I had this shooting type pain in my right arm that lasted for a few seconds then went away. I didn’t have any other pain at the same time this happened. Not a few minutes later I had a stabbing pain in my right ring finger that would come and go for a few seconds. I haven’t had either of these happen again, but earlier today my left pinky finger and the part of my hand directly below my pinky went numb for no reason (I wasn’t resting on it, no tight clothing to cut the circulation off). This lasted for about 5 minutes and then went away. I just had a few really sharp pains in the left side of my chest w/o any other pains accompanying it. Should I be worried about these problems or just forget about? What could be causing this?

I should note that I’m not on any meds. No change in diet or exercise. I’m at a healthy weight, eat healthy, exercise regularly and I’m only 17. I don’t want to bother my parents when there’s nothing to worry about.

Answers
1)   Your chest pain is caused by pinched muscles in your back. When pinched in the rib area the pains like to follow the ribs to the front and manifest themselves there. If the other pains are associated with the back pains I’m not sure, but once you release the back muscles you will know that answer. You have to release your back muscles to get rid of the pain. Here’s how to do that:

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)   about it you can get information from here http://mdcan16.notlong.com/2AAM6aa – Dannielle Symon

3)   you should get it checked out you may have a previous underlying congenital defect no one knew about. because your otherwise healthy. no chest pain of any kind should be taken lightly. also it could be a neurological thing such as arnold chiari malformation, those sound alot like the symtoms i have experienced before. if you dont have it happen again great.but atleast have your parents schedule a visit to your regular physician. they should know about any new and unusual pains/illness your experiencing so that they can be on the lookout for any future issues.please get it looked at.i know you dont want to worry your parents. but they would much rather you tell them and get it checked and find out it is a simple fix. then for you to wait and it be something serious/deadly. good luck. i hope everything turns out ok. – olivia w

4)   You should use Tramadol, it is the best about it you can get information from here http://canmdh16.notlong.com/AAM6aa8 – Soledad Minnis

Question 5
Have Anyone Ever Cured From Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis )?…  I had tennis elbow from 3 months

I took those months as a rest from GYM and i put ice

but it’s still there and it’s painful

Now I’m making Physiotherapy

I am just wondering if anyone had cured from tennis elbow before

or it never goes ? because i fed up

Later , i will be able to be back to GYM or nooooo ??

Answers
1)   about it you can get information from here http://mdcan16.notlong.com/5AAw1zg – Ronny Stormo

2)   Take care of it, ice it down after every session. Wear an brace when you practice or use it alot for sports or work. Usually from hyper extension, extending it more than it should.

Consult your doctor and get an x-ray perhaps they can tell you vital information that could help solve this chronic pain you have. I have dealt with people who had a deformity for almost their whole life. They never went to get an X-ray untill they have to…

A true story:

One day a man come into my hospital I work at with knee pain.. He said he had this pain all his life since he was a kid, (he roughly 45 as I remember) He finally came in for an X-ray because he banged his knee the other day and HAD to come in for an X-ray. To our amazement his patella was out of place and gradually discintegrated as it was rubbing against the wrong places and constant pressure in the wrong places. He finally got surgery and has never had the pain ever since. – DJ Reserve

3)   Here i s an excellent site with some wonderful options for you. It will definitely help you. Have a look. http://canmdh12.notlong.com/AAw1zgx – Soledad Minnis

4)   I RICEd it for about two months, and watched the way I was throwing (I tend to lead with my elbow when throwing in softball) and got a note out of PE :D

My friend got hers to go away with cortisone? shots into the elbow.

My friend and I also have elbow braces. You can buy these at Target, Wal Green, Wal Mart, CVS, etc. – prettydancer94

Woke up this morning with the right hand side of my nose sore and swollen, any ideas whats wrong with me?

Posted by admin on July 24th, 2010

Question 1
Woke up this morning with the right hand side of my nose sore and swollen, any ideas whats wrong with me?…  Im a 17 year old male

Answers
1)   Did you get too drunk and black out? Maybe you got punched and don’t remember…..

But seriously, if you hit your nose the previous day, sometimes there is a lag time between moment of impact and when you start to swell up. Just leave it be and it should be fine. If you can touch the cartilage of your nose without discomfort, it probably isn’t broken. If the cartilage hurts to touch, go to your doctor or an ENT specialist. – Ernesto T

2)   You could have some sort of boil – auntie gee

3)   How much did you have to drink last night ? And don’t you remember that big girl that kicked the crap out of you ? – Scott

4)   may be you have got an infection in your right nostril.in that case you may need to take antibiotic and some local soothing agents.all these must be assessed diagnosed and prescribed by a qualified doctor.wish you prompt recovery. – Mustafa K

5)   Pray for healing – Sakina Demont

Question 2
What is your cure for a blazing hang over?…  

Answers

Can’t remember if it works though – been a long time! – Sal*UK

3)   Just go back to sleep. – Anthony

4)   Lots of rest and tlc. – ƈђaօʂ

Question 3
The more I sleep the more my back hurts . . .?…  Just curious. My lower back never hurts on weekdays. I get about 5 or 6 hours sleep per night. I work a lot. But on Saturday when I can FINALLY sleep in my back kills me when I wake up. We just got a new mattress which I love about 2 weeks ago. This happened before & after the new mattress. I’m just wondering if anyone knows why?

Answers
1)   the doctor know why.go and visit him – Jordany

2)   Yeah, you have pinched muscles in your back causing the pain. You have to release them to get rid of it and once you do it won’t matter what you sleep on you won’t have any pain. Here’s how to release your back muscles:

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)   perhaps you are choosing your mattress because you sink into it when lying on it.If you have back problems it should be a firm orthopedic one.While sleeping on the side, put a pillow under the head and one between your legs before bending your knees. This posture has eased the discomfort of many suffering from back pain while sleeping.If turning to sleep on the stomach, then one pillow should be placed under the abdomen and none under the head to maintain good sleeping posture. The back pain while sleeping can extend to the morning at times too and can be helped by some relaxing, stretching exercises to relieve the soreness. – Boris

4)   I also experience lower back pain on days that I sleep more than my usual 7 hours. I am a side, stomach sleeper, and I even wake up and go to roll over and notice the pain because the position I am sleeping in with my legs and hips kind of in a stomach position, but the top half of me is in a side position, and it tweaks my back over farther than usual for a longer period of time. I tried sleeping with a body pillow, or just a pillow between my knees and it seems to alleviate that twist in the back.

Good luck! – mlh7575

Answers
1)   i get pretty dizzy too i think because were losing to much blood

well thats how i feel . – Adriana

2)   it could be just from losing the blood, or you could e dehydrated. since its summer we lose alot more water becuz we sweat alot. try drinking alot more water – ☮-’*Angelia*’-<3

3)   I had the same problem. Its because you are loosing too much blood. Blood carries oxygen to the cells in your body. When there is not enough oxygen reaching your cells, this causes the dizziness. Another reason for the dizziness is that you are not eating enough. Talk to your doctor… – xxisland_girl23xx

Strange pain in Lower abdomen, help please?…  Alright so last night I got this horrible pain my uterus area, like if I laid my hand horizontal right above my pubic bone it covered all of the pain. I could barely walk and started bawling because it hurt so bad. Putting pressure on it helped a little. I thought I was dying. When I got home I put a heating pad on it and it helped a lot. This morning it was a lot better but as soon as I stood up it came back a little, its not as intense but still very uncomfortable. Could I be pregnant? I don’t know what could be going on. It’s not cramps.

I started a new birth control but that was 3 weeks ago so I don’t think that it would just now start to have a bad response from my body. Thanks everyone :-)

Answers
1)   take a big number 2 – soda pop

2)   You should go see your Doctor…..it could be the birth control or something worse – Dancer

3)   Pinched muscles in the back affect a lot of what goes on in front especially if they press on the nerves for your other organs. That makes those organs go into pains as well so if you have pressure on the ones for your ovaries you can be getting pain there because of the pinched muscles in your back. You have to release the muscles in your back to get rid of these problems and here’s how to do that:

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

My shoulder blade is very painful and the pain also travels down my arm and chest bone? What could this be?

Posted by admin on July 20th, 2010

Question 1
My shoulder blade is very painful and the pain also travels down my arm and chest bone? What could this be?…  My shoulder cracks and pops and the pain travels down my arm….It hurts most when I move my arm to the side across my chest and causes the top of my arm to pop also. I have recently had chest pains and shortness of breath and the pain still exists in my breast bone area…Could this be connected?

3)   sounds like nerve problems. – Jennelle Blair

4)   go see the doctor, and grab some pain medicine. – Terrell Bee

Should I go to sleep?…  I was very tired and fell asleep at 7:00 PM, and woke up at 11:00 PM. Not tired at all, and it’s now 12:48 AM, what’s my best option without screwing up my sleep cycle too severely?

Answers
1)   thats what always happens to my dad. he takes naps, and stays up late. you should go to bed, even though you might wake up early. – Katarina

2)   Just go to bed ! – Rattles

3)   well I’m awake and its 12:50, and I’m not going to sleep…therefore neither should you! :D plus, if u r on summer vacation, sleep cycle doesn’t matter. – Kate

4)   hmm im not sure…i guess you should proly go to sleep…a little extra sleep couldnt hurt…but at the saem time im not really one to ask about sleep…i sleep like an hour a night – ronnie lover

6)   Well first sit down and do nothing, if you start to nod off then you’re fairly tired. When you do go to sleep just let your own body wake up if time isn’t an issue. If you still feel tired the next day (or today I guess according to your story) take an hour nap, it helps. – Roman Ledeboer

Answers
1)   Try either applying heat or something cold to it. Maybe a muscle cream or an aspirin might help. – Kesha

Torn Nail??????????????…  @ the pool, i tripped on the curb. i saw some blood on my toe, thought nothing of it. i checked it after, saw the the nail is torn. what should i do? leave it, cover it, rip the little bit of nail off? plz help

Answers
1)   DO NOT RIP IT OFF. I know it is annoying and you want to, but it will hurt like hell if you do. If anything, put a bandage over the tearing to prevent it from ripping even more. – Briony

2)   you should use a nail cutter to cut the torn nail off. if you do it carefully it won’t hurt. it happens to me all the time. the nail will eventually grow back. – ~*~ =D ~*~

3)   I’d say you should at least use disinfectant and wrap the toe in gauze, after removing the remaining bit of nail in the proper way. I’ve also had torn nails, so I feel your pain. The best thing to do is just let the body heal it naturally; you’ll pretty much forget about it in a matter of hours. If it swells, just put an ice pack on it. – Anna

What kind of injury does this sound like?

Posted by admin on July 4th, 2010

Question 1
What kind of injury does this sound like?…  so, yesterday i was running up the stairs and when i landed on my right foot i felt a weird pain in my lower calf not much above my ankle. now, about 14 hours later, i still can’t really walk on it. or my heal and on up to my calf hurt has a weird shooting pain. if i sit still it feels fine. i have tried stretching my leg, but when i bring my toes up it hurts as well. I’m not very familiar with injuries so i need to know the severenesss of this. I really need to be able to have this back 100% in a week. any help with diagnosis and things to treat it would be greatly appreciated. thanks so much!
and, it doesnt hurt untill i put weight on it. i can move it around and what not and it seems fine but as soon as i stretch or put weight on my calf it hurts.

Answers
1)   The fact you can MOVE it means you haven’t broken it.

It sounds like a sprain, or a crooked nerve.

Remedy: Painkillers and Doctor! :) – KBlue

2)   Ankle joint injury, I think. Take few days free from sporting. – Im Smart

3)   Sounds like you might have pulled in muscle or ligament in your shin. I wouldn’t worry about it to much. Stretching will not really help it. The pain should start to go away in about 4-6 days. Same think happen to me when i chased my dog up the stairs a few weeks ago… i though i had fractured something but ends up it was just a pulled muscle. – Max A

4)   yea, its a pulled muscle.

i do that ALL the time. – Rez021938428

5)   Whoever said if you can move it means it isn’t broken is wrong lol I’m a nursing student and trust me if you break something sometimes you can still move it. Depends on what and where you’ve broken something.

Anyway I really don’t think you have broken anything because it’s your muscle that hurts. You may have sprained you ankle with the way you say you landed. But most likely you just over stretched the ligaments in you ankle which could lean to the shooting pain you feel in your calf. You strained the muscles in there and should give that foot plenty of rest. Put ice on it, and elevate it. It should be better in a few days. Good luck! :] – xoxbillyxox

6)   Definitely does sound like you sprained it…keep it elevated, use ice packs, heat, and try not to walk on it so much… I’ve had this happen to me many times. Depending upon how bad the injury is, a week might not be long enough for it to heal.. – Emily Deshong

Question 2
i have to go to the doctors but?…  i need to visit the doctor , and im extremelly embaressed as i know it will nearly 100% involve an embaresssing personal examination downstairs , how can i get over this mental barrier i know they are prffessional but i feel stupid about walking in and basically dropping my pants . how can i be less nervouse
im male by the way
and 16 years old

Answers
1)   How old are you? Yes that can be pretty embarrassing wither you’re a boy or girl. Sorry. But why are you so sure you have to get examined there? Maybe they don’t have to and you’re just imagining it.

Don’t worry- they know what they’re doing. – future

2)   Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Just remember that they don’t like going downstairs either. They are going to want to do what they have to and get out as quickly as they can. It works both ways. – Lapin

3)   well im a 15 year old girl and i know i’d hate to have to do that at the doctors. But if i was in that position then I’d just remember that its probably just as/more awkward for them to, i mean imagine if you were an adult having to examine a teenagers downstairs :/, if its causing you that much worry then you definately need to see a doctor, do some research on the problem first (you might find out what is wrong or whatever) to save yourself the embarassment. and if its infection related you can pick up those sample things and get a text saying if your infected or not so if your not then you wont need to see a doctor. hope you get this sorted :) – Rhian Melvin

4)   I hate it as much as you do, but do you think the MALE Dr likes it any better? Be glad it’s not a young girl Dr. like mine first was…that’s scary. – Kikook

i slept on my neck wrong yesterday night, what can i do to make the pain go away?…  my arm hurts when i move it up & down & i cant turn my head. the pain it unbarable sometimes. what can i do. heatin pad dont help, i’m 16. idk if that helps any…

Answers
1)   You’re going to have to wait it out. It’s not serious, but there is little you can do about it. – Nick

2)   I hate it when this happens! just massage you neck it should go away :) – BuffyThe VampireSlayer

3)   Trula Couty is not a doctor and this site posted is to an illegal pharmacy trying to sell you drugs that require a prescription. Take an OTC pain medication as directed. I recommend a NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammitory drug) like ibuprofen or aspirin. I don’t recommend Tylenol because it is not an anti-inflammitory.

Tramadol is a mild strength opioid and is too strong for this infrequent pain. Ice you neck for 15 minutes with a towel between the ice and your Neck, then wait 15 min with no ice, then ice again for another 15 min. do this for a max of 4 times. Before you go to bed tonight take a hot shower with the water hitting your neck. Do some stretching and you will survive – Enginerd

My mosquito bite turned into a bruise?…  I got bit yesterday and today there is a huge red bruise on my hand….!!!!
And the bruise hurts, even though I’m not touching it. :/

Answers
1)   Put some cream on it and it should be ok, or seek medical advice. – jillreidxxx

2)   go see a doctor, don’t scratch it – Leigha Bear

3)   every mosquito bite has a sort of anesthetic which swells up where the mosquito bit you. thats why it looks red and it itchy. if you scratch it, it will stay longer and the more you scratch it, it will turn into a purple scar. – messi_rules_26

Question 5
Help! Can you tell me if it sounds like i broke my foot? :/?…  So yesterday i was running in my boyfriend’s backyard and hit the side of my left foot on the side of a brick. I hit it pretty hard because when i went inside i noticed a small puddle of blood on the floor and drips of blood all over his porch. I cleaned it all up last night and was in moderate pain. When i woke this morning it was really red, black and blue. It was also very swollen compared to the other foot and it hurt to walk on it.

I took a hot bath earlier and the pain went down some and now its just really weird feeling when i walk and i prefer not to walk on it because of the feeling. Any ideas what i could have done to my foot? My mom wants me to go have it x-rayed but i don’t really want to. So any advice? :]

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

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

2)   The only way to tell if a bone is fractured is from an xray unless the bone is protruding from the skin which is a definate sign it is. It could be alot of soft tissue damage causing the swelling and strange feelings. Keep your foot elevated when you can and apply ice off and on the first 24 – 36 hours. But like I said….the only way to see a fracture is with an xray. – lacrosselover

3)   I would definitely suggest getting it xrayed. It does sound like you damaged it, either broke one of the metatarsals,or it’s a terrible bruise, but, just to be on the safe side, and to get proper care, I would have an x ray, they aren’t even that bad. I’ve had plenty! haha – Emily Deshong

Stop Oily Skin This Summer With Kiss My Face Olive Oil Soap

Posted by admin on July 2nd, 2010

Kiss My Face Soap Bar Olive Oil 8 oz. (Case of 6)

In the summer I have oily skin so I don’t like to use soaps with a lot of moisture in them, because it causes my skin to become really oily, and my face looks as though someone has just threw a bucket of oil all over my face. I have been using Kiss My Face Olive Bar Soap and it works wonders. It gives my face just the right amount of moisture that it needs. Olive oil is a light moisturizer. I believe this soap would be also good for people who have acne. I don’t get those dreaded painful pimples that also come along when you have too much moisture. This is a great soap to use in the summer. It’s nice and light. Plus, it lathers up pretty good too. The color of the soap is a dark green. It doesn’t have a strong smell either, and the 8 oz. bar lasts a while too. It’s a good soap you can use all over your body too. I just focused on the face, because many people have oily skin and they don’t know what kind of soap will be good for it. It really is a good soap to use for your skin. It’s all natural and it has no harsh chemicals. It’s really a soap the whole family can use and enjoy. It’s very gentle on the skin. There’s really nothing negative about this soap. It’s a pretty big bar though. If you consider that a negative. I know some people don’t like really big bars. You just might want to keep a bar in the shower.

What do I do about this never-ending headache?

Posted by admin on July 1st, 2010

Question 1
What do I do about this never-ending headache?…  I’ve had headaches on and off for 8 months. My doctor had no idea how to classify them, so he issued an MRI of my head (the results came back totally normal). I had been headache free for the last 3 months when all of a sudden yesterday morning it came back and has not gone away since. In the last 24 hours I have taken 1500mg of acetaminophen and 500 mg of naproxen and the pain has not gone away AT ALL.

Any idea why i could be having headaches?

Why will the pain not go away with OTC meds?

What should I do at this point??

Thank you
Ive had a million blood tests etc.. and they all came back normal as well.

Answers
1)   Maybe eat healthier? Bananas make my headaches go away. And go see your doc again, just in case. – SJS

2)   I have HORRIBLE headaches so what i do is i ice the part that hurts and take extra strenght tylenol – Nicole

3)   get blood and possibly even urine tests done and have any testing done on those that would cause a headache issue. there could be hundreds of reasons for your headache, including your body’s need for some nutrient or needing to get rid of something in it. – reza

4)   You are suffering from dehydration! Leave off the sodas, tea, and coffee and drink water! After they go away then add a little back to see what your limit is if you want! Right now drink plenty of water and nothing else!!! – son of God

5)   i had the same exact problem and i also had an mri that came back normal.

are you getting enough sleep? like do you take a while to fall asleep or do you wake up alot in the night? do you spend alot of time at a computer or looking at your phone? do you eat alot of sugar, drink alot of caffeine or alcohol?

also, certain foods such as peanut butter can cause headaches.

what helped me was making sure i got at least 8 hours of undisturbed sleep (make sure its dark when you sleep), eating healthier foods and taking vitamins, and moderate exercising. also, if i do get headaches, i take excedrin migraine. – anonymous

6)   I tried Whole Body Vibration Therapy by Hypergravity.net and it really helped not only me but many others. – Josh

7)   Headaches are caused by tight muscles in your neck, the pain is so intense that when the brain receives the message all it feels is pain and you have your headache. Once you release your neck muscles the headache will be gone. Because you seem to have had this for a while you may need to repeat the process if any pain remains. Here is how to release your neck muscles to ger rid of your headache:

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.

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

Question 2
How Many Concussions Can The Average Person Take? Pls Ans?…  please be honest and accurate, dont try to be scary.

im middle aged and never had any head injuries but recently got hit twice within one month but both times didnt black out and there wasnt any swelling. dont have insurance so couldn’t get a scan but its been 6 days now and i feel fine. the only thing was that i did get headaches both times.

im ok in the long run right?

is the brain a good self healer?

Answers
1)   No the brain is not a good self healer. The fact that you need to ask that indicates that you should probably get your head checked out. – Casey

2)   Concussions are graded trauma to the brain. Concussions are graded by the symptoms exhibited by the patient. Minor concussions only cause slight disorientation and confusion. More serious concussions lead to loss of consciousness and neurological damage

Read more: Types of Brain Trauma | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/about_5267301_types-brain-trauma.html#ixzz0sRrOfqSB – luminous

3)   you are rolling the dice on this. a good head wack can be instantly deadly. you can also get an intracranial bleed, and die slowly. if in doubt, see a doc. alive and owing money is better than dead. – David

4)   First, you didn’t have a concussion from being hit in the head and there isn’t anything in the brain to heal.

When you got hit the impact pushed your head one way, your body tried to stop it and the muscles in your neck took the brunt of the impact and tightened up and need to be released. You have what I would call a mini whiplash, nothing more. That is where your headaches are coming from and you can get rid of them by releasing the muscles in your neck by doing this:

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.

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

5)   this same problem was going on with my dad, when you get all those concussions you develop these headaches called flash headaches. It is a symptom that will take 1-3 months to cure completely and occurs in people when your around 35-50 years old. It does need to be treated so go to the doctor and he will give you a prescribed pain killer. – wuzzzupppp

Question 4
what is a greenstem fracture?…  

Answers
1)   In a greenstick fracture, the bone cracks but doesn’t break all the way through — like when you try to break a green stick of wood.

A greenstick fracture can be difficult to diagnose, because it may not cause all the classic signs and symptoms of a broken bone. Treatment for broken bones, even incomplete breaks such as a greenstick fracture, requires immobilization of your child’s bone, so that the bone will grow back properly. – Stephanie F

2)   Never heard of a greenstem fracture, but a green stick fracture is found in paediatric patients. The bones in children are slightly more ‘bendy’ then an adults. When they break, they tend to bend as well. – HARW

3)   Its when the arm gets bent and it splinters like what happens if you were to bend a green stick until it broke. They don’t really snap, they just splinter around the outside. They are generally more present in very young children becomes the bones are softer and bend more. – Justin

4)   It means that the bone has a crack in it but is not completely broken. The bone bent like a flexible twig rather than snapping like a brittle bone would. It is serious but not as serious as a full break!! : P – ClicketyClack

Question 5
I only have two days worth of Cephalexin 500 mg and I’m pretty sure I have a UTI will that help it go away?…  this along with alot of water and cranberry juice and maybe cranberry pills and yougart pills.

Answers
1)   It would help, seeing as Cephalexin can be used to treat UTI’s, but the problem is 2 days will definitely not be enough to treat a UTI. I’m in college (dental hygiene program, so they teach us about meds all the time with all our science classes we have to take) and was taught that doctors usually give AT LEAST a full week of an antibiotic to treat a UTI. Some doctors even do a full 2 weeks to ensure all the bacteria are killed.

So you really should go to your doctor. Cranberry juice and all that are good helpers, but they alone usually won’t treat the UTI. Some people believe they are capable of curing the UTI though, so it MAY work, but I think a doctor would be best. – Allie

2)   No your gonna need more like a substantial amount. You cant just dump in a ton to drown it out. You take some over an extended period of time. But if u think u have a UTI consult a doctor soon before it gets worse. – Chris

3)   NO!!!! Don’t take the Cephalexin. It will make you worse since you only have 2 days worth. Take apple cider vinegar. I promise you it will work! My dog had a UTI last week and I gave her acv and AZO Cranberry. She’s as good as new! I might also add that antibiotics cause an overgrowth of candida(yeast).

"Many people treat UTIs at home with apple cider vinegar as an alternative to prescription medication. Apple cider vinegar contains a high concentration of enzymes that prevent the bacteria that cause UTIs from multiplying or growing.

Mix 1 tbsp. of apple cider vinegar with 8 oz. of water. You can also mix in 1 tsp. of honey to make it more drinkable. Drink this mixture up to three times a day, along with lots of water to flush out your system. If your symptoms worsen or you do not see an improvement within a few days, you should consult your doctor."

http://www.ehow.com/way_5314278_apple-cider-vinegar-uti-cure.html – skycoca

4)   If you don’t have health insurance, and that’s why you’re worried about getting more medication, go to an Urgent Care Center. If they don’t have one in your community go to the Emergency Department.

If you have an illness that will get worse w/out treatment, they have to treat you in most places. – catlover

It could be stress, side-effect of a migraine or many many other things.

See a doctor. – The Wrestling Archive.net

3)   high blood pressure – ladystang

4)   Do you bleed from any other place ? if yes then you need to check your coagulation profile. If not then check your blood pressure

Something in my eye but it comes and goes. Severe pain, Just want my eyeball out right now helllppp!!?…  At first it felt like something got in my left eye. The pain was severeee at first. I flushed it with water & tried eye drops but it still hurt. It went away for about 30 minutes then all of the sudden it started again. Now for about 24 hours, it has come & gone. It feels like a big chunk of something is stuck behind my eye ball. My eyes start to water uncontrollably and my left nostril gets stopped up. I’ve never had allergies before. This is ridiculously annoying. I can’t sleep or anything. I just want to go have my eye ball taken out!! That’s how bad it is right now. Why does it come and go? Is something really stuck in my eye? Or is it allergies? PLEASE HELP! If not, I may be losing my eyeball today!!
i dont have a headache at all. My eye is just watering and my nose gets stopped up but only on that side

Answers
1)   The problem is not you, your eyeball is the issue – Arno

2)   sounds like you scratched the surface of the eyeball, hurts a lot. Only way to know is go an optometrist or eye doctor.

sorry, but call around and go today. – roughedges

3)   Do you have a headache to go with this or any other head pains? I’ve had pain on what felt like the back of my eyeball because of headaches. The muscles for your neck go all the way to the top of your head and when they get tight they can press on the nerves of your eyes as they pass by on their way to the eye center at the back of your head. Once you release the muscles in your neck they won’t be pressing into those nerves anymore and the pain should be gone. Here’s how to release those muscles in your neck:

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.

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

Question 2
What in the heck is going on?…  Alright, this is going to sound like the last words of a schizophrenic before being admitted to the loony bin but here goes. The past week I have noticed someone has been following me. Last Tuesday when I went to work I had a black SUV follow me all the way to work. I didn’t think much o it at the time. But when I got home it was parked down the street. The next morning it was there, an I was trailed to work yet again. I told some of my coworkers and they merel laughed it off saying it was probably just an angry ex girlfriend or something. When I left work the SUV followed me for a fourth time. When I got home I called the police and told them about what was happening. They came to my house and one of the two officers went to the SUV and talked with the driver. As soon as he came back to my driveway they left instantly and all they would say was, "Ignore it." I got absolutely no explanation whatsoever and was irate. On thursday I did not see the SUV in the morning. But when I stopped for gas in the evening I saw it parked down the avenue. Friday it was a no show. I have absolutely no idea who this is. It is pissing me off! Tomorrow I am carpooling so I will see what happens. This is just so weird!

Answers
1)   so next time you see it, you go up to the SUV or whatever vehicle, and ask what’s up. – tropnhof.

2)   Does anyone in your household possibly sell drugs?? lol The police should have given you some explanation about who/why they were there. But your right….does sound weird. – jewlz2626

3)   advice:

go up to him and ask him, KEEP YOUR GUN LOADED! – TheGuyWithAnswers

4)   Could be a PI or someone else in law enforcement. Would anyone have a reason for following you? You could grow a set and go up and ask why their following you. – Lumber

5)   Oh my. That sounds crazy. I mean just to be optimistic… maybe it is for your protection? EEK! Like someone else said, is there any chance that someone in your household is involved with drugs or anything like that?

Best of luck tomorrow. Also, maybe you could consider staying in a hotel or something for a night or two if it really starts freaking you out and you have the money. – blackskittles8238

Question 3
I’m feeling really dizzy lately.?…  Lately I’ve been really dizzy but it’s gotten worse tonight. It’s not like the whole room is spinning but more of I’m having trouble "balancing" if you will. I feel like when I step forward I’ll just keep falling forward but I catch myself in time. Other times I somewhat fall to the side. I do have a history of migraine headaches that are controlled by a prescription- Topamax. I do drink plenty of water daily and get enough meat and veggies so I don’t know what could be causing this.
I did smack my head on a car while getting into it yesterday which hurt pretty bad but this started a few days before that. I haven’t been sneezing or have had any allergy attacks for quite a while and I fee perfectly fine(not sick) other than this off balance feeling.

Answers
1)   Go to a doctor, tomorrow!!!! – Lumber

2)   It could just be allergies. So perhaps try taking allergy medicine. But have you hit your head lately? If so you could be suffering from head trauma. Or maybe you are just sick. – Dingoman013

3)   Do you think it is the Topamax? I get dizzy sometimes too, and I can’t really decide what it is from… I take Topamax too. – blackskittles8238

4)   A balance problem is often due to an ear infection and that can also cause dizziness. – Susan Yarrawonga

Question 4
What’s wrong with my knee?…  OKay so one day after school, i was playing around on a hand rail by the concrete stairs at my school. I fell down about 2 feet and my knee landed on the concrete edge right under my kneecap. Now ( a week and a half later) it hurts a bit to run and i can’t peddle a bike? what can i do to help it heal? help please

Answers
1)   go to hospital they will tell u what to do… – albert a

2)   ice it or put a hot towel on it…try not to use it

I’m not a doctor but i think this is the logical thing to do(:

If for some reason this doesn’t work, try seeing an experienced doctor

best wishes(: – bubbles

3)   You definitely should go for an x-ray. The brunt force under your knee cap could have caused fluid build up in you knee. – shelleejae

Question 5
Numbness on right side of body?…  Earlier today as I laid down for a nap, I felt a slight pressure in one little part of my head in the back (about the size of a quarter). Absolutely no pain, just pressure.

A minute or so later, the right side of my face went numb. then my leg, then my arm and foot.

Again, no pain, just numb.

I also got very cold and shivered severely.

After going to the ER, CT scan came back negative, as did blood tests.

I was advised to see a neurologist for an MRI

I’m only 17, a female, and right now I feel perfectly fine except for a pins and needles sensation in the lower half of my right leg. kind of like when your leg falls asleep.

it might also be worth adding that I am severely sleep deprived and drink excessive amounts of caffeine a day (several cups of coffee a day as well as tea at night)

I’m aware that the caffeine is why I haven’t been sleeping, but is it possible that the mixture of sleep deprivation and/or excessive coffee intake could be it?

or just any ideas or theories whatsoever?

:( I’m really scared…

Answers
1)   it could be a stoke! or it could be diabetes! i have diabetes and get some of those symptoms sometimes. get checked by a doctor because whatever may be causing it? is not good! good luck! :o ) – shawn

2)   Not just on one side of your body.

See your doctor asap and get an MRI. – Kelle
