[QUOTE=Beak Doctor;33947732]A few months ago I lost most feeling in my left wrist, it stayed like that for a few weeks, maybe a month or two. I have most feeling now but if I was to run my hand down my wrist there's a light tingling feeling and it feels a lot more sensitive to the rest of my arm.
Now I've lost most feeling in my right bicep, just wondering what the hell is happening to my arms.
What terminal ilness/illnesses do I have, doc?[/QUOTE]
Sounds like Nerve damage. If you don't get this looked at, it will spread, and you cannot fix this.
[QUOTE=Benstokes;33951632]I shouldn't have to spell this out for you, but I will:
You have a serious symptom that's spreading. Go to a real doctor.[/QUOTE]
I feel like I should trust you on this, I think it's the House avatar. I'll get a doctors appointment soon and hopefully come back still able to type with my hands.
what's with the random dumb ratings surrounding Pectus, and Autumn's heart problem
[QUOTE=Benstokes;33942672]
Unfortunately, there really isn't one; I'd say get it looked at by a doctor, but I wouldn't worry too much. Most rashes are just dry/irritated skin, so chances are the doctor will just direct you to the right kind of skin cream for it.

I would say use a drying powder like Gold Bond. Rashes generally start and persist due to moisture and friction on the skin. That's why babies get diaper rash, the sweat, urine, and feces mixed with the rubbing causes the irritation.
Although that's if the rash is in a spot where that is the obvious case(your inner thighs are the most common place for that kind of rash). There are a ton of different rash types, everything from asthma to certain chemical contact can cause it.
Gah, flipped an ATV an landed on my left hand a bit.
When I squeeze my left hand into a fist really tight and then release, the part of my hand associated with the pinky really hurts. Same thing happens if I put my hand into a fist (no tension), then I move my pinky finger's joint connecting to the hand up.

Sounds like you sprained your hand to me. It will probably start feeling better in a few days. Take ibuprofen and if symptoms worsen, then well...you should know what to do.

It's been like a week since and there's no inflammation or anything.
It's kinda like on the bone part.
I'll wait 5 days and if it's still not better I'll just go to a doctor.

It doesn't have to be visibly inflamed. I've had sprains in my hand almost identical to what you described.
However, if it's been a week maybe go in next monday. Hand injuries can suck and if they aren't treated fast they can suck even harder. It doesn't sound immensely serious, but a sprain should heal itself within a week, or at least get noticeably better.
My hands are always cold and my mom says it's because of poor circulation. Is there anyway to get better circulation in my hands?

id go to a hospital immediately, these are the symptoms of deep vein thrombosis which can be fatal!

In the short term opening and closing your hands will cause more blood to go through them. For long term circulation improvement you need to do cardio workout and possibly lose weight.
There's a small area of skin around my left bicep that's consistently a strange sort of mangy yellow, like a bad bruise. The skin is sort of like a thick, lumpy power's been spread around it, but when I try to remove it it's pliant enough that the only way to get it off is scraping it. It would seem it's something that's happened to the existing skin rather than growing on top of it, since there's normally a small bit of blood when I try and remove it, but only so much as itching a bad rash.
It doesn't spread or anything and I've had it since the beginning of 2010. I'm worried it might be some sort of necrosis or skin condition, and it's somehow both super-sensetive and numb in different areas. This isn't particularly urgent, as it doesn't spread or affect me at all (it doesn't really do anything), but I thought I'd ask since it's been bugging me since I had it.

Why haven't you gone to a doctor to have it checked out yet? You've had it a year, and I doubt it's anything terrible but even so... get it checked out already!

I'm gonna have a check-up soon, I just wanted to know if anyone had any idea what it was before I went.
Does anyone?
I've been having intense jolts of chest pain at (seemingly) random times. It's like a stinging, squeezing pain that makes it hard to move my torso because it feels like I'm squeezing my lungs when I do so, makes me slightly dizzy and is occasionally so bad I'll have to just stop whatever I'm doing and breathe deeply for a little until it goes away.
Also, the intervals are random. Sometimes I'll have multiple a day, sometimes it'll be weeks between them.
What the shit is this.

I'm 14 and weigh like 115. I guess I could do a little exercising though.

My back hurts whenever I stand or walk for too long. I took a look at a spine graph and the pain is mostly from the lumbar area

Book an appointment with a doctor, now.
I don't have a clue what it is, but sharp chest pains and shortness of breath are never good.
If it was a one off sharp chest pain right now right now, I'd have said 112 and get an ambulance (chest pain and shortness of breath are major signs of a heart attack, though that's sensationalist as fuck), but it still seems to be something you should get checked asap.

Bad posture when sitting or an awkward gait? I bob when I walk, and it's not exactly comfortable. Not been able to do anything about it though.

If you are at a good weight then just do some cardio. Generally bad circulation comes from your heart not being strong enough to pump blood efficiently. That's why heavier people tend to get headrushes and feel faint if they stand too fast.
If you just exercise your heart out a little a day, then circulation problems will generally go away.
The skin underneath my arm and next to my armpit is feeling really irritated and itchy, but it has no redness or marks to indicate that it's irritated. It also hurts a little when I press down on it and when I slide my hand along it, it feels dry. Also it has been like this for a few days now.
I got huge black things under my eyes like someone has punched me in bouth eyes or I wouldn't have slept in whole week. This problem has been for couple of years and I don't know what to do.
I got really drunk last night and now my head hurts, do I have cancer?

your sitting position might be wrong, or the way you breath
sit straight & breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth and breathe with your stomach, not with your chest whenever you feel it again
