[QUOTE=ripsipiirakk;37933643]From time to time i get sharp pain on my knees and ankles. It's really painful and for a moment i can't stand on it. Small portion of pain lingers few minutes afterwards. This usually happens when i am walking. Could it be just because i have to carry heavy loads in daily work? I kind of doubt it since it can happen on a day which i haven't done much anything.[/QUOTE] might be shin splints
Any recommendations for over the counter medication to remove warts with? Already seen the doctor, may have to do so again, but before that I'd like to try something that doesn't involve a scalpel.

Also, duct tape works surprisingly well, I used it over the summer to remove some warts I had growing on my feet. It just takes about a week or two to do it on the average wart. All you have to do is apply duct tape over the wart, and let it sit for about 12 hours, give it some air for about 30 minutes or so (probably when you are showering), and repeat. They'll be gone before you know it. [editline]9th November 2012[/editline] Also, I came in here to ask about eye strain injuries. I managed to strain my eyes yesterday through shenanigans, and today I got to experience repercussions of that, including fuzzy vision, semi-loss of balance, and migraines. I am currently doing better, so I'm asking; what are some things I can do to prevent eyestrain generated by false light? (i.e. computer moniters/televisions/other devices with similar screens)
Hi, I have a nice dinner, and I just finished a whole bottle of water, and now my left side is having a sharp pain. Not a cramp though. Is this just a lot of water with my kidneys and shit, or something I should be worried about?
[QUOTE=GmanIsJoker;38373830]I have this kind of rash/pimples on my legs, and it's apparently on the back of my arms too. Any idea what it is? [img]http://i.imgur.com/fEDgs.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Leprocy

So I get these really painful spikes of pain in the lower part of my foot sometimes when I angle my foot or step weird I guess. And I mean like really painful as if its dislocated or something and then it goes away after a few seconds. What could it be?
Sometimes my jaw is kind of unhinged on the left when I open it and it hurts my back molars real bad for a few days afterward. What do I do

[QUOTE=ScoutKing;38547820]TMJ? [url]http://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/temporomandibular-disorders[/url][/QUOTE] This is very accurate, it even explains my achy molars. Hm...now I gotta find a solution. Then again, it only happens every few months, and it gets better over time.
That'll be a few hundred dollars please.
All I have is twelve thousand...
[QUOTE=BigJoeyLemons;38548012]All I have is twelve thousand...[/QUOTE] Well, you don't have to pay. We'll just turn it over to debt collectors.
Having pains in my left eye, when I look in one direction, it hurts on the opposite side. There's a achey pain in it constantly when looking forwards but it hurts like fuck when I look about.
Has anyone here had a circumcision? I'm considering getting one in the future because it's recently grown a lot tighter, I'm having trouble pulling it down dry. Also a girl I hooked up with called it an aardvark. :( P.S. do they give painkillers after getting your foreskin lopped off?
snip no pun intended

You have a week to 2 weeks off work / school and it takes 6 weeks for the swelling to fully die down and for it to be considered 'healed'. Although if it's suddenly gone tighter then I'd see a doctor as it could be an infection or BXO which requires circumcision anyway
-snip, I asked someone in person. It's just dry skin-
Uh so for a few weeks theres been a tiny lump on my arm, like a quarter of the size of a raisin and it's kinda black a little bit. I decided to be a home self surgeon with a pair of scissors (dumb I know, whatever though yolo) and I got a little strand of beigeish colored stuff, kinda like pus but not sure if it is, and there's still the black thing in it, lotsa blood too. Anyone got any idea what it is? [editline]12th December 2012[/editline] okay I'll switch from normal scissors to medical scissors at least so I don't die [editline]12th December 2012[/editline] Just fixed it, there was a little tiny tiny white solid ball of something in my skin that grew there. What was it?
most likely death expect to have your arm become gangrenous
Got a sunburn on my upper back and shoulders because I was a fucking idiot and didn't apply sunscreen. The burnt and dead skin is peeling and out of bad habit I started peeling it off, unfortunately the skin underneath the dead skin is red and raw, and it hurts quite abit. Would Aloe Vera or anything else help?
I have Chalazion surgery tomorrow. My first surgery, oh boy.

On occasion, my torso and neck feel like they being bitten by tonnes of fleas. I havn't found a reason yet but it happens more frequently and intensely in sunlight but never in cold air. Taking a shower doesn't help. Once or twice its been painful enough driven me to tears. It's been happening four or five times a week for about four months now. I really want this stop, advice on this?
Not really a medical issue, but lately whenever I sit down my crotch has been getting real warm, and that always makes it incredibly hard to tell if I'm going to piss my pants. I never actually have, but it's so uncomfortable that I end up having to get up to go to the bathroom just to walk around and air out my pants. I'm not sure if there's a solution to that, but does anyone else get that? It's pissing me off.

Your skin seems sensible to sunlight and that might have numerous causes, most of them I can't enumerate.
