Is it commonplace for a doctor at a university health center to go on a 2-hour lunch break?

Posted on June 21, 2011

I injured my neck in a go-carting accident on Saturday, and I ran out of Prilosec for the gastritis thing which has been ongoing since December. So I decided to go to the health center on campus to see the doctor again, especially since he said it should've healed by now. So I go into the health center, and the nurse is telling me that the doctor went to lunch (it's 2:00) and won't be back until 3:30, maybe 4:00! And she says I could make an appt. for tomorrow! I've already been nursing this whiplash and swollen stomach for the past two days! And it hurts like hell! And what's more, she's giving me this look like I'm not there for anything serious, so I shouldn't complain!

WTF...

The advil I took is beginning to wear off, and I can feel the pain returning already. Yesterday, it had gotten to the point where I could barely move my head without wincing in pain, and I had to wrap a towel around my neck just so I could sit upright!

Do doctors usually take such long breaks?

Lower Back Pain due to a failed Deadlift?

Posted on May 27, 2011

I just had the worst Deadlift attempt ever, now my lower back hurts like hell, I can't bend over or else the pain gets worse, my back can only stay up straight.

Question: How long is this going to take to heal? What are some ways to help in the healing process? Any way to minimize the horrible pain I'm going through?

I want to know the mechanics of lower back pain.?

Posted on May 20, 2011

I've search all the sites and they all talk about how it happens or why it happens, or how to address it, but none talk about the mechanics of lower back pain.

I want to know why, one day, I'm fine, the next day I do something athletic, and my lower back hurts like hell. In this pain mode, I'm basically crippled. But its wierd because there is nothing mechanical I can feel wrong. Where and how does the pain manifest itself ? Nerve damage perhaps, but then, why in a few days does it go away ?

Thanks in advance those of you who really understand the mechanics of it all.

I have back pain that occurs every hour and is espxially bad over the area of my left kidne and left upper leg?

Posted on May 18, 2011

I get these pains in the lower part of my scull every hour it seems and then progressively start getting a searing pain in my left and only left kidney area and the upper muscle in my left leg. Its now started to affect nearly all the muscles in my upper back but goes away after a few minutes. The result is my muscles are stiff as hell and the pain can be excruciating, any advice

Weed, mono, and canker sores?

Posted on May 11, 2011

Okay, so i had mono in november and some of december.. i know mono goes doorment..
i'm always tired still. :P

welll, now i had two canker sores at the same time a couple weeks ago. now i have one on my tounge that hurts like hell. it's finally starting to get better.. now i have another normal canker sore..

my throat is hurting pretty bad right now.. and i smoked weed on friday and i was drunk too.. it was my second time smoking weed.. i didn't even get high..

now my mom wants to take me to the doctor today.. will the doctor know my throat hurts because of weed? D: and could this just be mono again? and what's up with the canker sores?

I never knew canker sores were from Satan?

Posted on May 6, 2011

This is horrible. I started getting a canker sore 5 days ago. Then I had one and I thought it sucked. Now I've have at LEAST 8 or 9 on my upper and lower lip. What the HELL!!!

Is this supposed to happen? Is it because its my first time getting canker sores? I mean, as soon as I rip an old one off a new one starts right next door. I am treating them with salt, salt water, and Listerine daily. I never touch them except when cleaning them. But nothing seems to help. My lips are so dry and crispy. I apply chapstick throughout the day just so my lips don't start bleeding if i smile. This is torture. I feel so unclean when i talk to people I put my hand in front of my mouth. I mean, I know I wouldnt want to look at multiple white sores on someones lips if they were talking to me.

Is there anything I can do here besides stay inside all day and medicate? I went to the store (Rite Aid and Longs Drugs) and the pharmacists there said there is no med's for canker sores.
