I had a concussion on friday and i went to the hospital but now in having really bad headaches help please?
Answer:
i like what AKDZ said, but if its just normal pain then try 2 Ibuprofin (thats its generic name its Also Known As tylenol, advil, asprin, ect.) and 2 cellery seed, i dont know what it is about that combo, but i tried it once and i felt great for the rest of the day, it seems to bust up the worst headaches in a matter of hours, even migranes which get worse the longer you wait.if you can distract yourself from it for a hour, then it will make your day feel so much better. if you ever need to buy yourself some time for it to kick in then give me a call darling, you know the number already, you already called me i think it was 5 times today. :"%26gt; and i loved every min. of it.
If the headaches seem severe go to the ER. Do not wait around to see what happens.
Go back. NOW.
Return to the hospital at once - there can be late side effects to a concussion
You need to go to the emergency ward and let them know what's happening and how you feel, this is nothing to play with.
well u should go back to the doctor and see what they can tell u and have them run some test on u! and if not take some execedrin and call the doctor in the morning...
Some pain after a concussion is normal, but persistent, severe pain might be a sign of a problem. If the pain continues, I'd suggest calling your doctor or possibly the doctor who treated you in the hospital (though they may be a lot harder to get a hold of) and let them know what's going on. Only a professional can tell you if your pain is normal or a sign of a larger complication.
I had a closed head injury back in 1993, now I'm collecting ssdi is it to late for me.?
Answer:
Too late for what?
Too late for you to what? need more info
Is it too late for you to .what?
I don't have a clue of what is ssdi and wonder ...too late for what?Anyway, whatever the thing you worry you are too late, there is nothing like trying...the only thing they can say is NO. Good luck!
For someone with a brain injury it may be difficult to find the words to form a complex question (or answer a complex question) so having been there myself I'll take a best guess in the dark. People with cognitive brain injuries typically respond best to simple yes/no questions, if asked to choose from multiple choices you may just get a blank stare or no response at all.I'm not sure what you're too late for, or how bad an injury you had. the brain is an amazing organ it will continue to rewire itself, doctors tend to be pessimistic because they don't want to give you false hopes, but know that you will likely be continually improving, with different parts of the brain taking over for those that have been damaged. Brain studies on terminally ill patients have shown the brain grows/regenerates well into old age. I had closed head injury 1994 in a car wreck, some things improved in a few years, others took longer, some seem to be permanent, but i may yet be surprised again. I did not lose any motor functions mine had to do with cognitive skills, memory and comprehending what I was looking at/reading. If that is the case for you hopefully you have had access to the kind of cognitive therapy one needs post head injury. It made a world of difference to me.Interestingly some things would just improve/go away overnight after years of being static, though I still have to contend with things like short term memory loss, occaisional dyslexia when speaking/writing (eg. do instead of don't can instead of can't, leaving words out of written sentences) and difficulty learning/retaining new things I am trying to learn to this day. Fortunately I did not lose the skills i had preinjury (I was 36 at the time) and anything related to what i already knew/could do remains virtually intact.Keep at it do the best you can, chances are by now you may have already learned to live/function within your limitations. A cognitive skills assessment may be of value in dealing with your limitations if not done already. As far as cognitive deficits I found that finding/being given tools to compensate for the things I was no longer able to do (having to use a calendar and making lots of lists for instance) was at least half the solution to the problem.Hopefully you have supportive understanding caring people in your life. If not, see about joining a brain injury support group, you will find you are not alone out there. It's a long shot but you may find that one day when you least expect it you will wake up and something that you thought was gone forever is there again as if someone flipped a switch. That's the brain rewiring itself.you may find the following brain injury sites to be useful.

I had a blood test last wed, and my arm is still bruised and painful. Is this normal?
When she took the blood is was slightly more painful than usual but not too bad. The next day a bruise came up and i couldn't stretch it. Now a week later, the bruise is no longer sore but my arm aches as though i have been lying on it, from my elbow right down to my fingertips. It still hurts if i stretch but not a pain, just this dull ache.
Answer:
i had a similar reaction to a canula insertion in my arm. i went to the docs about it and he gave me some cream for phlebitis, which is bruising in the vein. it went after a coulpe of days. i suggest going to the doc.
Poor you.maybe the nurse ought ot have practised on an orange first instead of you! You won't get an answer if you were to ask anyway. Try arnica creme that will take the soreness away and bring out the bruising. Can be bought at any good chemist on the high street.
I would say pop into the doctors get the doctor or nurse to check it over! The first time i ever went to donate blood my arm was like this!
Go to the doctor if you're really worried. But i'd say just give it another couple of days. I know when i had a blood test done once, it hurt for around 2 weeks!
thats what happens when the needle hits a nerve.
it will get better in time

I got shot with BB and I can't ge tit out?
I've been shot many times but most of the time they fall otu and I was outside playing in my woods with our BBs and I didnt know I got shot with a BB, I mean I knew I got shot but I wasnt worried about it.It hurts even worse and I moves if I touch it.I got shot in the lower part o my head. should go to the Er
Answer:
Yes get off the computer and go to ER. You need to take a gun safety course even if it is only a BB guns you are playing with as you should NEVER EVER get hit with a BB if you are using the guns correctly.
WOW. Why would you play a woods game with BBs. My BB rifle shoots 700+ FPS, thank god I wasn't playing
Yes, this probably warrants a trip to the ER. Reasons: it's in your head. It's not coming out. It's causing you pain. The pain is increasing. Go get it removed, and have your head looked at :)
Yes, go to the ER and have someone else drive you there.
ASAP

I got very dizzy and fell down after not eating for 12 hours, is that normal ?
I ate at 3.am and, went to bed .I woke up and deided to wash my hair before I ate, but at around 3.00 pm , while I was washing my hair. I got really nauseous, my vision got blurry , i got dizzy and i fell down (but i was still consious) . I figured, it may be low blood sugar so i had a teaspoon of sugar and then It was better. Its never happened to me before and i wasn't even that hungry before i started washing my hair, is that normal ? i'm 19 and i don't think i have diabetes
Answer:
I've gone more than 12 hours without eating and I was fine...did you drink water during those 12 hours? I suggest you call your doctor and at least tell him what happened; he'll decide whether or not to have you go to his/her office and get you checked out. You might regret it later if you don't do anything about it now so why not just get it checked out.
Really now! What do YOU think?
You should get a checkup, and you should eat at least breakfast or lunch by 3pm everyday!
Low iron causes dizziness and is common in teenages. Vitamins are a good idea at your age.
Definately get a checkup, grab some iron and folate tablets and eat on at regular intervals.
i don't really know, but maybe you should eat.it will help.
Some vertigo and/or nausea is normal after 12 hours. But not to the extent that you describe.Now, it could be that you were in bed a little too long and that messed up your blood circulation. But if a little sugar stabilized you, I'm tempted to suggest diabetes or hypoglycemia. So get that checked: Diabetes can turn up in the darndest places.
Take a teaspoon of sugar once a week, then go to your docter, and try eating! Don't starve your self lol
you would have had low sugar, low blood pressure and dehydration, use the common sense god gave you and EAT.

I got two vaccined yesterday and now i fell like i have a fever, is this normal?
Hepatitis A and meningitis vaccine
Answer:
sometimes it is normal to get flu like symptoms after vaccines! Usually the person feels under the weather for about 3 or 4days at the longest...but if you get a really high temp %26gt;101 call the doctor, cause something else might be going on!!
Yes - I had mild flu symptoms after I had my Hep shot. It is ok.
yes this is very normal just drink plenty of water
Yes This is a normal side affect. you may even get a little of the virus, The vaccine is a virus that is put into your blood stream and memory cells in your body memorize what the virus cell looks like so that in the future if you actually get the full virus your body identifies it and kills it immediately.

I got sunburned really bad?
Now I'm officially a REDNECK! YEAH! How long before my red neck will disappear or turn into a tan neck?
Answer:
cold water is the best first aid when you burn yourself - 20 minutes under the tap is ideal. NEVER ice or vinegar or milk or butter or green tea or mustard or toothpaste or sunscreen or semen or vaseline or tomatoes or vanilla extract or yogurt or sour cream or egg white or lavender oil or cocoa butter or salt or tea bags or potato or shaving cream or olive oil or baking soda or banana peel or petroleum jelly or whipped cream or avocado or bacon grease or corn starch or tumeric or lemon juice or curd- not until the skin is fully healed!alcohol might help with the pain but it is a serious risk as it will dehydrate you - so don't drink any. ibuprofen or aspirin will help but larger burns are often accompanied by stomach ulcers, so tylenol/panadol is best for pain if you are gonna tough it out. drink plenty of water or energy drinks that don't have caffeine (gatorade) i would advise that you cover the burnt area with sterile paraffin wax or aqueous cream bp. (check the links below and see if you can find a local equivalent). wash the burn and reapply every 4-6 hours - cover with cling wrap if you wish to cover with clothes - this will stop your clothes getting covered with paraffin and maintains the burn.cling wrap alone is ok if you can't get hold of any paraffin. it also acts as a protective artificial skin - helping retain moisture and protect from further damage and pain. cling wrap is cheap and clean off the roll. in Australia ambulances often use this when someone has been burnt. - please note that cling wrap isn't always practical, like on your face.the paraffin imitates the natural oils, creating a seal stopping water leaving the body and reduces pain by protecting sensitised nerves. both of these factors improve healing - good stuff stays in, bad stays out - that is one job of healthy skin. aloe is good coz it remoisturises but that moisture can be quickly lost as the skin can't contain fluids. so put aloe on, and then the paraffin on over the top. if there is broken skin leave out the aloe - just paraffin.http://www.doorone.com.au/xgs-aqueous_cr...http://www.pharmacyonline.com.au/david-c...hope this helps - let me know how you go and what similar brands/alternatives are available in your area email if you still have questions - send photos feedingthedogcustard@hotmail.c...finally if you are really worried go to a hospital that has a burns unit or plastic surgeons. serious sunburn i.e. blisters (and all other burns) should be seen by a burns trained doctor or nurse.
The red will start to fade in a few days. Make sure to use some Aloe Vera on the burn. It will keep moisture on the skin, and take the sting %26 reddness out faster.
Most likely 3 days. Drink lots of water. Take a bunch of showers.
If you cut soda out and drink green tea you won't tan as much next time. Green Tea supports the production of melanin, the skin's own natural sunburn protection. Green Tea also helps reduce the risk of sunburn. Always make sure you wear a good sunblock if you are prone to burning. Aloe is great for sunburns.Republicoftea.com has some super options for green tea.
at least three days! I SUGGEST ALOE VERA **Might want to freeze it for max comfort (don't freeze rock though)**
HAHA YEAH!! You will be a redneck for a few days... depending on your skin type. In about a week it might start peeling. I suggest some Vitamin E cream to help the burn in the meantime.
There is also an over the counter skin cream called Eucerin. It's great for sunburn.
aloe vera gel, pure and simple, it takes away the sting and helps to prevent peeling
I always use Banana Boat Aloe Vera Gel! It works a dream cause its really cool, especially if u put it in the fridge when ur not using it, it smells good and it takes the sting out of ur sunburn! :)
neosporen - will sooth and promote healingice - will relieve the pain at once
