[QUOTE=Jay Gatsby;37309699]Hey guys. My left testicle has been slightly hurting to the touch for a few hours. Should i be worried cause I am freaking the fuck out[/QUOTE] I had that and after a couple days it still hurt. Left one too. I scheduled a doctor's appointment and it stopped hurting the day of the appointment. I went and dropped my pants for him anyways. Nothing wrong, said it might have been causes from sitting too long...
[QUOTE=yazrak;37322197]There's something very wrong with my hands This morning I could barely move them, they felt like rock they were almost completely dry and I had to put them in a bucket of water for almost one hour I'll go to the dermatologist tomorrow if this keeps happening[/QUOTE] Is it your whole hand or just the skin because if you could barely move them, then a dermatologist isn't really what you need. Of course you could have just been sleeping on them.
My jaw has been cramping like a son of a bitch all day long. It feels extremely tight, and is hard to chew anything, but it's only the left side of my jaw.

So I just had black excrement, I pushed out three small and very hard balls that were completely black. I'm not experiencing any pain in my stomach, nor do I feel any nausea. I also did consume an entire bottle of red wine the day before I noticed the color. I'm not really that anxious, but It's better to at least ask in a community where someone might know something. But right now I'm going to wait for some time, and if I keep getting black excrement that could imply internal bleeding I'll contact the local healthcare facility.

It's usually not a medical emergency because the bleeding is slow but I would get checked out just in case. Have you been taking any iron supplements?

Have you been taking any iron supplements?[/QUOTE] No, but I read somewhere that red wine contains a lot of iron and red coloring substances. [editline]24th August 2012[/editline] I read on another forum that the stool is supposed to be tarry if it contains coagulated blood, but mine was almost rock hard.

A lot of iron rich vegetables can cause this as well.

[QUOTE=Memnoth;37383745]Thanks.[/QUOTE] I just had this problem then, I'm on Zofran and apparently it can cause this as well.
I walk barefoot everywhere because yolo I've gotten really bad infections on my feet last year and this year my left foot has two..what used to be blisters. The one is a big cut and dirt gets in it a lot. Wearing shoes isn't an option help

The one is a big cut and dirt gets in it a lot. Wearing shoes isn't an option help[/QUOTE] Well you need to clean the wound and properly seal it. Next, yolo is a terrible excuse (and it basically always is) as shoes sandals and other footwear aren't made just for style but to protect you from stuff like this. Either wear shoes (or those shoes that are shaped like socks) when you are on unforgiving terrain or just accept that without protection your feet are going to get hurt.

[QUOTE=Zareox7;37273487]So after like 10 years, I finally got medical coverage to go to the doctor's for a basic check up. The doctor did a physical and gave me a chest X-ray and he told me he wanted me to get a chest CAT scan because he thinks he might have seen something in my X-ray and wants to be sure. What could he have seen? I don't feel sick or anything, but it's kinda unnerving because he didn't tell me what he thinks it is.[/QUOTE] Went to the CT Scan this morning, just got back. I guess they were looking for a lung nodule. She said my doctor is going to get the results tomorrow, so I hope I hear from him then.
The inside of my throat hurts. It's been about a week, and it's not a normal throat pain, it's more like a tear or injury of some sort. At first I spit out some blood, but now the last week it's just been hurting a lot when I swallow. [editline]29th August 2012[/editline] I've ignored it, but the fact that it's not getting better and I'm having some trouble breathing means I should probably figure out what it is.
You're going to need go to a doctor. There's nothing you can do without some specific medical analysis.
My foot always hurts like hell, at the spot where i stepped on a big ass tooth pick 2 years ago. its exactly where it stabbed in so i think its from that. what do medical?

so i fell on my longboard and got a few road rashes. a couple on my right knee a couple on my right elbow and a real bad one on my left palm The one on my left is what im worried about. I put hydrogen peroxide on all them, but when i fell, my skin peeled back when i hit the ground but it is still attached. should i cut the extra skin off or leave it?

Rinse with water, apply betadine or a similar iodine antiseptic, cut off the dead skin where possible and cover it with breathable bandaids/bandages.
So I think I have a tooth abscess (swollen area next to one of my molars). It's like a little white sac and it's smaller now but it was big this morning and i had this before too in the same area and I think it sort of goes away and comes back on a regular basis... Can I do something or should I go see a dentist?

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/lTCHZl.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] They're Epidermal but you don't want any sort of infection. So clean, disinfect and wrap it, using any sort of iodine solution. If you don't have any, just use Hydrogen Peroxide. As for the skin, may as well clip the dead skin off but do not cut too deep, you can risk opening or expanding the wound further. Then just bandage and you're good to go - also change periodically, once a day. Best case scenario is twice a day, but it's up to you. Same goes for the other wounds.
Everytime I lie down my left arm has a burning pain which makes it hard as fuck to get to sleep. I'm going to try and see a doctor asap but I assume it's a back muscle messing with a nerve or something. Although I usually have sharp body pains throughout the day.
I think I just got a migraine headache. Never had a headache like this before, and it seems to be hurting my ears when I listen to sounds for longer than a second or two... I think this is a migraine anyway
