Hi,
I fell down on the road trying to give way to an idiot car driver on my left.
I have some bruises, though I was able to get up and ride back home (up a mountain). The one that is hurting a bit, is on my butt and it is a big circle red in color.
What OTC medicine/cream should I buy to help it heal fast and not let it come to my GF's notice (so that she let me train and not give me her lecture of safety etc..etc.. ;)
-Thks in advance

There is not much you can do, your body will take care of it. Tell your girl friend that you slipped on the ice or in the bathtub.

I slammed into the leg of a sofa a week ago and the pain in my middle toe on my right foot is uncomfortable, to say the least. Every once in a while it is quite sharp. I've been told to tape the toe and forget about visiting the doctor. Help, anyone? Thanks.

there is not much a dr can do about a broken toe....make sure you ice it and take a pain reliever such as ibuprofin....take it easy on that foot until it heals!!

We are in a rest house and in the middle of the night my elbow where the bruise hit after I fell, swelled. Can I use cooking oil as substitute for ointment?

You can, but it won't do anything....

I'm suffering nuchal pain on my right neck and can't turn my head to right side. I'm wondering first aid treatment for nuchal pain and bruises (caused by injuries) also. Could anyone know what may causes that kind of nuchal pain?

I would recommend a chiropractor.

Also use a cream like little moons a#kisser or tiger balm or deep tissue repair oil at herbdoc.com

also take hot and cold showers and massage the neck while doing it.'

Here is how..

Hot and Cold Showers: (the most effective way to move the blood and create circulation ) Once daily, you must do a complete hot and cold shower. You will start with hot water for 1 minute, then cold for 1 minute. Re-peat this 7 times so the shower should last about 15 minutes. Another time, daily, you can do a complete hot and cold shower routine again or a partial one just applying the water directly to the affected area. Make sure while you are doing both hot and cold showers that you pay special attention to the affected area and massage it vigorously. If the shower is impossible then use Hot packs and Ice packs.


follow it with a massage if possible and the creams mentioned or a comparable one from the health food store like a capsicum cream.


Arnica oil by herbpharm (not a homeopathic but the real herb in regular strength) often helps prevent bruises and it used for bruising but if it is already bruised not sure how effective it would be but it is for pains too.

get to a chiropractor who uses the palmer method as soon as possible to see if he can help. also see a doctor

You might also try 10,000 gauss magnet on the sore spots..this always helps me with neck or back pain. The brand I use is magnelyfe mini magnets 10,000 gauss
