Probably not.
If you have had a tetanus injection in the last 10 years you should be okay.

Can you breathe as deeply as before? When you take a big, deep breath does it cause pain?
If it is cracked rib, a break usually heals within two months without intervention. I'm not a medical professional though, so grain of salt.

Sinus infection, how get rid?
[QUOTE=superstepa;32480057]Nah, it hurts only when I lie on my back and when I cough[/QUOTE]
Not tender to the touch? You might have pulled a muscle in your chest if it is. I'm out of ideas though, it's really between that and a rib.

doctor
is anyone else able to feel a lump in their lower back? when i learn forward i can easily feel them but when i lay down i can't. i went to the doctor to check it out and had to lay down, but the doctor said she couldn't feel anything.
i can easily move them the lump around, it's not hard and i don't have any back pain.. should i go to a second doctor or just ignore it?
I have been pretty sick with a chest cold, woke up this morning and started hacking shit up. I spit into my sink and look down at it and there's bright pink blood mixed with clear mucus.
Guys, I accidentaly the whole bottle... What do I do?
I'm waking up at odd times. I fell asleep at about five AM (was feeling sleepless, only started to get tired when I got into bed) and woke up about nine AM. I'm on melatonin, but it only makes me tired for about an hour before I perk up a bit. Is it healthy to be waking up so early?

I thought melatonin wakes you up at daylight
[QUOTE=Abrown516;32493137]I thought melatonin wakes you up at daylight[/QUOTE]
It's supposed to make you sleep. I otherwise have a lot of trouble doing so; I'd normally stay up for a few hours in bed, trying to sleep. The melatonin helps, but the main effect seems to be the odd sleep patterns.
Sometimes it feels like something is going to my head, like more blood. It's like pressure builds up in there.
It isn't painful and no other symptoms go with it, so I don't think it's something really bad, but still scary.

I heard a few drops of warm (not hot) water with salt in it in your nostrils helps.

So I jumped on my bike too hard and bruised my coccyx. Anyone else done this? I ask because I was wondering if anyone had tips on healing it faster.

be tender with your butt, lol that's really the only thing you can do.
Lump near the meeting of the jaw and throat, moves when pushed side to side, but hurts somewhat.
My first assumption is swollen lymph node (I have several, and have had them as far back as I can remember)
I'd assume your guys' guess is as good as mine... (Well, most of you guys, anyways)
So yeah, I burned my hand the other day, (not a horrible one, just one somewhere between a 3rd and 2nd degree burn) and I applied ice/fruit/peas to it in order for the swelling/pain to go down, which it eventually did.
However, earlier today I reached into my pocket in order to grab a few bills. I end up ripping a small hole in my hand, because the burned part was loose-ish or something. Should I re bandage my hand (after applying some sort of antibacterial medications) and leave it be, or should I possibly visit a doctor? The hole isn't very big, and it doesn't really hurt (it isn't hurting right now, and hasn't for a few hours), but you know how these things go. Maybe you guys can suggest a type of bandage (like one of those butterfly bandages, which pull two sides together), so that way something like this doesn't happen again, so I don't have to pay $100 dollars for a minor emergency room visit.

And yeah Justa, that is your lymph node. You might be fighting off some sort of head cold or something, since they only tend to swell up if you have some sort of infection.

[QUOTE=Alpha 1-1;32403347]In Shool, my right side in my liver, and upper front/inner right leg begins to sting. My liver stung Once, and I thought It was my appendix. Then I was told I would be on the floor, crying, if that happened. Then a day later, my right leg started stinging, 5 bursts of pain in like 8 minutes or so.
It doesn't hurt much (except the liver thing) but it pisses me off, and it's freaking me out. I don't want to see the doctor, because I'm afraid I'm gonna go there, they're gonna scan the hell out of me and then I find out that It's just because I'm fat or something.

Reposting, PLEASE HELP. It happened again, been like a month or so. It's scaring me, someone, come on.
I have a terrible immune system, so bad that if I spend any length of time with a person who has I cold I get it soon after.
Any ways of fixing this?

I don't know about the leg stinging, but I guess it's possible it's gallstones.
[QUOTE=Shoupie;32574623]I don't know about the leg stinging, but I guess it's possible it's gallstones.[/QUOTE]
It says moving around does not make the pain go away. When I shake my stomach by moving my legs, the pain is weakened. That, and I'm 14 so I doubt I have Gallstones.
Here's more detail:
After the intial 'Attack' Where I get a stinging sensation, I get waves of heat, ache, and stinging. Not usually at the same time. I think they are varying degrees of the pain. I also feel this vacuum like feeling in my right side sometimes, like being hungry.
It's never lasted this long. Oh, and sometimes I feel similar symptoms (Though less often) In the opposite side of my body, left side as opposed to right.
-Edit-
Gallstone pain can cause vomiting, which may relieve some of the belly (abdominal) pain and pressure. Pain that occurs with a fever, nausea, and vomiting or loss of appetite may be a sign of inflammation or infection of the gallbladder (acute cholecystitis). Symptoms that may mean that a gallstone is blocking the common bile duct include:
Yellowing of the skin and the white part of the eyes (jaundice).
Dark urine.
Light-colored stools.
A fever and chills.
I got a chill, but that's because I'm freaking out. I feel naseua, because I'm freaking out. Also, I haven't noticed any darker colored urine.
I also feel hot, but that could be because I'm Kinda scared. I have Surgery-Phobia, I haven't even had my wisdom teeth removed, let alone a liver transplant or some crap.
Can I get some Help ASAP? Kinda freakin out.
