Answer by Jimmy
Well first off I am a ER nurse. In case you wonder who is writing this lol. Second sound like you are getting an infection and need some antibiotic therapy. Second don’t put freaking TAO or any kind of bandaide or dressing that will not let the area breath because it can cause the wound to slough which it has already done. A 4X4 and wrap is good because it still lets air get to it and wicks the drainage away from the area. First though I would clean it with half hydrogen peroxide and half distilled water. This is a temporary solution and you should see your primary care physician in the morning or asap. Do not take this lightly, an infection like this can turn into a very bad thing really fast with things like MRSA and staph floating around.

Dusty will eat anything though. He had a bad case of ASI (Anti Sailing Inflamation) he had a sore knee for several months. A little sail seems to have cured the problem. He appears to be in no pain. elpolvo is our esteemed Webmiester for riodulcechisme.com/ .

Hopelessly drift in the eyes of the ghost again
Down on my knees and my hands in the air again
Pushing my face in the memory of you again
But I never know if it’s real
Never know how I wanted to feel

Never quite said what I wanted to say to you
Never quite managed the words to explain to you
Never quite knew how to make them believable
And now the time has gone, another time undone

Hopelessly fighting the devil futility
Feeling the monster climb deeper inside of me
Feeling him gnawing my heart away hungrily
I’ll never lose this pain, never dream of you again

Q&A: This is about my son who sustained a trauma wound in February 2005 at 11 yrs old during a bike accident?

Question by Panhead: This is about my son who sustained a trauma wound in February 2005 at 11 yrs old during a bike accident?
His perineal area collided with the crossbar (close to his scrotum). This trauma wound became an open wound which eventually became chronic. His doctor sent us to Riley Children’s Hospital. He was seen and treated by a surgeon for several months. This is what they tried, silver nitrate to make the wound acute again. Dry to dry packing. Wet to dry packing. Damp to dry packing. Several different creams and silver based packings were used. They performed surgery to make it acute again. The wound would never heal completely. It would always again. Three years later, three hospitals later, four doctors later, after losing two homes and three jobs as a result of doing round the clock wound care treatments, my son still is not healed. Not one doctor knows what to do. It has been miserable. We have lost everything and he still walks around with a hole in his body which makes him succeptable to sepsis which could kill him. Is there anyone out there who can help? Thank you.

I live in Wisconsin. I know we have a Children’s hospital in Milwaukee. I have never done business there myself, but I have never heard anything bad about them. I always hear good stuff. I hear that they are dedicated and caring. I also hear that they do not turn children away cause they don’t have insurance or money. Call them and tell them the situation. Maybe they can guide u. Here are some phone numbers.
Main switchboard: 1-414-266-2000
Clinic appointments: 1-414-607-5280 or 1-877-607-5280

Back Pain middle left side?

by jon_a_ross

Question by SassyOne: Back Pain middle left side?
last march i went to my doctor with pain in the middle of my left side of my back that also is also in the front. he checked for a uti and told me that my “numbers’ were high and showed an infection but that my urine and blood test showed no infection nor a kidney stone. he had me do a pelvic ultrasound and an ultrasound on my left side. i called the office three times for results but got no call back. they always say a no call back means the test was fine. not its two months later, i still have this same pain but now it is more painful and more constant. for the last two year i have also been dealing with pain in my left armpit, which no doctor can tell me what that is. i thought maybe its my mattress but it doesnt matter what position i am in or what situation i am in, its still there, in fact it now is making me a walking witch to people around me. does anyone have a clue what could be going on or anyone experience this? thanks!

Why does tooth and some foot pain feel good?

by MikeOliveri

Question by …: Why does tooth and some foot pain feel good?
Like you know how you put pressure on your teeth, or if your toe is sore, and you press on it, it feels good?

A long time ago when my teeth were loose, I would always love to press on them. Sometimes my shoes give my toes a lot of pain, but I just love the pressure I put on them. I’ve asked other people before, and they like it too.

Burning pain from a cut is not good though. Bad pain.
