[QUOTE=kaine123;31920358]I stubbed my toe. Cancer?[/QUOTE] Super herpes that eats crab for breakfast!
Well at least he doesn't have to worry about Crabs then.
I'm having this pain in the top right and left edges of my toe when I press on them. Could it be something with my nails? If I leave the pain it gets worse until I clip it. Super space caner or what?
Yay! I can walk around in my bare feet again! Thank you Dr. Facepunch.
I think I have trigger finger. A bunch of my fingers tend to sort of snap (they don't make a sound though, it's hard to describe) into position whenever I bend them inwards. What do.
I hate neurology because the waiting periods are so long. Like you're going to be waiting at least three months for any appointment. I waited six for my first appointment.

I'f I take painkillers or get super wasted, if i work out can I get tired then? Do i feel tired**
I have Arachnophobia, should I go into therapy? Or what do you guys suggest?
Right big toe totally numb (can't feel pressure nor pain) and swollen. Just recently cut out an ingrown toenail by myself. Left big toe also partially numb, no ingrown toenail. am i dying, doc
I have a question, a couple years back I shifted my jaw to the left and it popped. Ever since then my jaw pops loudly when I move it too far left, right, or down. What is it?

[QUOTE=Steffmeister;31941431]I have Arachnophobia, should I go into therapy? Or what do you guys suggest?[/QUOTE] It's only arachnophobia, if it was something a bit more drastic than that, like hydrophobia or something that actually stopped you from getting on in your life then sure.

I have some weird marks on my ass cheeks that looks kinda like this (been unable to take a picture): [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33311333/Pictures/Facpunchass.png[/IMG] What the fuck is this? And how do I get it to get away? I haven't had gym in school yet, but when I do and we have to shower, all the other boys are gonna go WTF!! when they see this on my ass. It really looks freaky. Please help. It kinda looks like blue veins.
Stretchmarks? [editline]26th August 2011[/editline] By the way if your dick is as small as it appears in the picture, I have a feeling those marks would be the least of your teasing.

I sweat basically 24/7, even when it's pretty cold, and it's making me need to stay under a blanket so my temperature doesn't drop too low. I have no idea why. I'm not exactly fit, but I'm not fat. In fact, I'm stick-thin. I've wanted to go to the doctor's, but they're quite dismissive. Help, Facepunch! It's cold in here and I'm only getting colder!

Just say you've been doing squats so you have 100x more muscle than before which stretches the skin. Because that;s what happens.
[QUOTE=Hana-San;31947161] 'Tis not a question.[/QUOTE] Oh yeah sorry, fixed that.
[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;31873744]Okay doctor Facepunch. Early this morning sometime I had a nosebleed followed by a headache. Earlier today I had another nosebleed (very unusual, it's usually a once-every-few-months thing), and later on I almost had another but I caught it early and was able to prevent it. However I've had this headache for well-over 12 hours now, much longer than the usual 1-2. And sleeping hasn't fixed it (it normally does). Does anyone know what it could be or if it'll go away soon? I took Ibuprofen earlier and it worked for about 4 hours, now I feel it coming back again. I took some more and will probably go to bed soon, today's just been shitty because of this (also my computer mouse died :C). Also related to the nosebleed thing, it always bleeds out the same side and it usually happens at random, thought sometimes from picking or blowing. And like I said, it never happens more than once a couple months, let alone 3 times in under a day.[/QUOTE] If you want your nosebleeds to stop, you should probably not take Ibuprofen. It's naturally a blood thinner, and it'll increase the incidence of nosebleeds if you've got a predisposition to it, which it seems like you do - for whatever reason. Don't take any NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) because they all have a blood thinning side effect, to the best of my knowledge. If the nosebleeds persist, I would definitely encourage you go to the doctor to get your blood drawn and tested. Nosebleeds may be caused by an inability to clot properly, which can be due to low platelet count. And a low platelet count can be very serious.

And I'm pretty sure it's not my blood, as getting a cut anywhere else on my body, it'll clot up pretty fast depending on the size of the cut. If I were to get a 2'' cut on my leg right now, I could hold a tissue over it for ~5-10 seconds, remove it, and be fine. Since it's always the same spot that bleeds, it might be what that other guy said, with the exposed vessel. In which case my best bet is to just deal with it.

But they went to the doctors where he quarterised the vein near it and they haven't had any since then.

My chest has a constant, dull, stabbing pain and when I breathe deeply it gets worse. It also hurts more when I cough or yawn. My dad said it's from all the shit I eat. I really doubt eating chips a few times throughout the day (and then it's only a handful) makes my chest do this. If it happens into tomorrow I'm gonna have to go the ER. I show concern and my dad shrugs it off.

It adjusts the sternum/ribs position which occasionally can cause some pretty bad pain from breathing and so forth. But is typically associated with a sore back. Has your back been hurting/been sore recently?
