On Saturday, I had an accident while riding my motorcycle and hit the back of my head on a rock. I passed out for less than 30 seconds and had a large knot. I still have a headache. I've been taking Advil and applied ice for the first 8 hours. Is it too late for medical attention?

My sister has tiny white thread-like parasites coming out of her skin all over her body. She has been to several doctors and the ER multiple times, but they all think she's making it up. She just called me frantic saying these things were all over her. She started with a giant sore on her chest diagnosed as MRSA, but as time went on and after antibiotics, these tiny white thread things started coming out of her fingertips, eyelids, legs, feet, etc. We are going to see an internist on Monday, but I'm worried for her and scared it might be contagious. Can you tell me what you think it is?

My husband has been experiencing severe back spasms for about a week, which have been temporarily relieved by a sports doctor but returned. He is unable to function due to the pain. The doctor suggested it's muscular, but without imaging studies, how can they be sure? Is it possible to have back spasms for a week or more, and could it be something more serious?

I keep getting fever blisters on my chin. They don't seem to go away despite using Denavir, taking L-lysine, and Minocin. I am very stressed and desperate. What should I do?
