Pain
Physical pain is a part of life. We all experience it, whether a scrape on the knee or a broken bone, receptors in our bodies sent pain signals all the way from our extremities to our brains. Here you might ask and answer questions about unexplained pain, what it could mean, and what to do about it.

Your cut has redness around it and it is dark red and black What do you do?
If it's red, dark black, with yellow discharge and pain, it's infected. If you don't get on a course of antibiotics right away, it could lead to blood poisoning and death. Infections are nothing to mess around with - these days we don't tend to consider them as health risks, but less than a 100 years ago they were fatal in most cases.
If it's scabbed over, with no yellow discharge, pain or fever, and a bit red, then that's not unusual for a healing cut.
Infections are pretty obvious = the pain will increase until the blood is poisoned, and if not attended to the surrounding tissue may also become gangrenous. Pain, fever and yellow discharge from the cut wound are the 3 main indicators of an infection.
Can pregnancy cause back pain?
Not only can it does! if you take the weight you carry on the front (baby+all the liquid in the womb) and take that times 9, you will get the weight that is actually added on your back. Normally if you gain weight the weight is spread around but not that part when pregnant.
You also have the pelvis getting softer so the baby can press through without getting stuck.
Back pain is very normal during pregnancy.

If the pain is sharp and off-center a bit from the middle of the back around the waistline, you could have mild disk herniation pressing on a nerve. This kind of pain typically radiates into the posterior tissue (front of the body). That it's only on the right side is typical of disk problems, as you usually feel it only on one side.
As far pain going away during your period, several factors can affect disk pain. Many women usually take some type of medicine to ease with cramping during their period, and the types of meds taken usually reduce inflammation. Disk herniations are reduced by anti-inflammatory meds. Also, hormonal changes, and the bloating and other uncomfortable effects associated during menstrual cycles can mask pain or alter pain perceptions in the brain. While the pain may still be there, pain in other areas makes it seem like it's not - the brain can be fooled by other pains and distractions, which is one method of mental pain control.
However, the most likely explanation is that disk pain, especially if it's not that bad (bad herniations will leave you unable to walk and in excruciating pain), will eventually go away if the disk inflammation hasn't been aggravated further and allowed to ease. Typically when we feel pain, we tend to lower activities that aggravate it.
If you have accompanying pain in the back of the leg, knee, thigh or side of the right leg, a disk problem is even more likely.
In the end it depends on the type of pain. Disk pain is sharp and sometimes burning, depending on the severity. Muscle spasms feel tight and somewhat sharp. Muscle pain is achy and throbbing.
Having severe back/spine problems for many years, I've required the use of opiates for a long time to deal with my pain. However, there are some OTC meds that I use when I don't need or feel like taking them. Bayer Back and Body Aspirin is one; Tylenol Rapid Release gel-tabs are the other.
If you think the descriptions I've listed fit what you're experiencing, then your best option is to see either a Pain specialist or a Chiropractor. At the very least you should let your regular doctor know about it.
What is the best thing to do after you throw out your arm?
Ice. Because you've thrown out your arm the muscle is going to be inflamed so ice will help keep the swelling down. It would be best to then drink alot of water so that your muscles and joints can be hydrated.
I let mine grow over when I was younger and pierced them again a few after and I don't think it hurt more then before, it was probably about the same. It think it all depends on how long you wait until you repierce it, if they are still a little sore from the previous piercing then it may hurt more then if they were completely heald. Lobe piercing aren't generally that painful anyway so I wouldn't worry too much about it. I will suggest though that if you are going to get them done again go to a piercing studio that uses a needle instead of the gun to pierce your ears they heal up so much easier and its less trauma to the ear. Good Luck!
probably not, it could be a number of things. if it is a new partner it could a result of roughness during intercourse, it could be a result of you not being wet enough during intercourse. depending where the pain is it could be a cyst on the cervix or higher up. it could also be a yeast infection or a bladder infection. without more details that is the best i can give you. if it persists i would contact a physician

Inflicting pain to oneself would be Munchausen's Syndrome. One who inflicts pain upon others is a sadist (although the textbook DSM-IV version of this also requires that the pain is inflicted without the victim's consent). A person who enjoys someone else inflicting pain upon them is a masochist.
- I don't know who answered this question before me but I'd like to clarify:
a sadist is someone who likes to inflict pain/likes to see people in pain
a masochist is someone who likes to feel pain inflicted by themselves and/or others
and someone with Munchausen's syndrome is a person who makes themselves sick/pretends to be sick/worsens a pre-existing illness; to get attention
also a person with Munchausen by proxy is someone who makes another person sick (usually a child) to get sympathy/attention
