Need Advice....Shattered Ankle?
In 2004 I fell and shattered my ankle..I have screws and plate in the both sides of my left ankle..things aren't going well with it as come to find out there are more problems with my foot..the doctor who did the surgery told me that there is nothing more that he can do so he sent me for a second opinion.. this doctor gave me pain patches to wear that did help some but I can feel my foot getting worse and it scares me..My daughter called me because she knows someone who did the same thing and his doctor told him that the plate and screws have to come out after a year because the bone does heal...they can't remove mine as I did alot of damage..they said the next step would to take out the nerve in my foot...would it be worth it to do or just learn to live with this pain..been having alot of spasms in my foot at night and it is really bothersome..I am also afraid of losing my foot but if I have to then it needs to be done...has anyone out there had this done??
I just stabbed myself with a staple, should I be concerned?
When I was in 2nd grade long ago I stayed after to help staple papers for the teacher because my crush was staying. I was stapling away but I wasn't watching what I was doing. One staple went through my thumb nail all the way in and bent a little at the bone. Anyway I couldn't let her know what had happened, so I yanked the staple out, it hurt like heck, for several days. No one ever knew about it. no problem. If it get infected you might see a doctor.
Are lower back pains sometimes caused by growing taller?
Absolutely! I've had bad lower back pain for like the past two years. I went to a back specialist at UF and they took some x-rays and told me my growth plates weren't completely grown together so my body was finding other ways to support itself and that was by putting more pressure on my back and the muscles in it. This causes the muscles to tighten up and often forms knots. They gave me some exercises to strengthen my core (abdominal) and butt muscles. It helped me find support in places other than my back. I have a lot less pain now...it's just getting to the exercises. ; ) Good luck!
I'm only 15 and my back hurts, why?
Yikes.Growing pains is not just a metaphor. One of my son’s sports team mates has grown two inches in the last six months and is having terrible knee pain. The doctor had some $100 word for it I don’t remember, but over-fast growth is a known condition.Also, are you doing weights? You’re too young.Finally, get it looked at but NOT by a chiropractor. They are a huge fraud, at least for a kid.Right now my boy (14) has an ankle sprain which is on a growth plate. You can’t see if it’s an occular fracture - because you can’t see an occular fracture :-) but my point is the growth plates are a big consideration.Get it looked at by someone serious. The orthos we’ve had to see for my son’s (many) hockey injuries have actually been free or reasonable for consultations. And be careful seeing surgeons. It’s like the old joke: if you are a hammer, all you see are nails.Good luck.
FORESKIN STUCK BEHIND PENIS HEAD!?
1. No, it is NOT normal to get stuck behind the head - this is called Paraphimosis, and it can "strangulate" the head. 2. Just stretch it - don't use force, just gentle manual stretching. 3. Of course! 4. Definitely yes. It usually gets stuck in the shaft and that would be a major problem because your penis will remain erect because blood can't flow back to the body and it'll hurt a lot. 5. Cases like this are managed by doctors who put anesthetic creams and gently stretch it back to the foreskin. 6. Not quite. Even uncircumcised males will not have that kind of sensitivity, because the foreskin usually is NOT tight and it can roll up and down. For some uncirc males with long foreskins, it is NORMAL. 7. This is Phimosis (if the foreskin can't be pulled down) and Paraphimosis (if the foreskin can't be pulled back to the unerect state). There are some treatment options here that you can study before opting circumcision or preputioplasty: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phimosis#Tr...
Teenage masturbation....how do u do it?
-Grab your clitoris with your thumb and pointer finger and knead it around in circles. -Use your pointer and middle finger and put a little bit of pressure on your clitoris and rub in circles (preferably while fingering yourself with your other hand). -Insert one or two fingers into your vagina and do a "come here" motion with your fingers to stimulate your g-spot. -Buy one of those vibrating back massagers from the store (they're small and about 4 or 5 bucks) and press that on your clit and turn it on. You can finger yourself at the same time, too. -Buy one of those neutrogena waves (lol but if you're gonna masturbate with it don't use it to wash your face with.. keep it for one purpose). Put a sock over the white part of the neutrogena wave (where the facial cleansing pad usually goes), hold the neutrogena wave on your clitoris, turn it on, and move it in small circles til you orgasm. -If you want to buy a real vibrator/dildo they sell them at spencer's and you don't have to be over 18 to buy them. Best of luck!
