Fell on knee but not sure if it’s worth going to the doctors over?
I’ve just got back from holiday about a week ago and whilst I was there, I fell over on my right kneecap and since the fall I’ve been unable to straighten my leg fully, walk up stairs without pain or kneel down properly. It was bearable at first but now it’s just gotten increasingly more sharp whenever the pain hits. Just wondered if there were any home remedies worth trying that would help before going to a doctor? Thanks

Lesley Gore "You Don't Own Me" You don't own me, I'm not just one of your many toys You don't own me, don't say I can't go with other boys And don't tell me what to do And don't tell me what to say And please, when I go out with you Don't put me on display, 'cause You don't own me, don't try to change me in any way You don't own me, don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay Oh, I don't tell you what to say I don't tell you what to do So just let me be myself That's all I ask of you I'm young and I love to be young I'm free and I love to be free To live my life the way I want To say and do whatever I please And don't tell me what to do Oh don't tell me what to say And please, when I go out with you Don't put me on display I don't tell you what to say Oh don't tell you what to do So just let me be myself That's all I ask of you I'm young and I love to be young I'm free and I love to be free To live my life the way I want …
"I know it is not going to be easy, but I am sure it’s going to be worth it." What is an alternative of this sentence?
Not much of a change, but the following has a better rhythm:I know it's not going to be easy, but I'm sure it’s going to be worth it. And in real life, I'd colloquialize it more for better rhythm:I know it's not going to be easy, but I'm sure it’s gonna be worth it.
I have a start-up idea. I am not sure if it's going to work out but I'm more scared that if I ask people about it, this idea might be out and it might not remain a unique one. What should I do?
First, make a detailed plan of how you plan to execute it. If you talk to people, and your idea is not clear or detailed enough - you will get negative responses. For me personally, I usually spend about 1-3 months brainstorming before talking to people. Second, spend enough time brainstorming on your idea, when you feel you cannot progress any further - then talk to people and get as much feedback as possible. If you receive negative feedback, listen and see how can you make it better. A good place to start, go out to startup networking events, co-working spaces, meet ups etc. Third, go out and do some surveys, ask users what they think of your service. I strongly advise reading: Sam Altmans' startup class, Andrew Chens' opinions on product market fit, Sean Ellis on his 40% survey validation rule and Ryan Hoovers' 20 minute MVP. Fourth, after you have checked to see whether people want your idea, you will need to build a team. To find even one cofounder can take anywhere from 1-6 months. On average, this will take usually about 3 months. Regarding choosing people for your startup, choose someone that matches well with your personality, has that burning fire of commitment, and skills that offset your weaknesses. One wrong choice here, can make or break a startup. It's that important. Fifth, once you have formed your team. Find 100 users and build your service for them. If this seems hard to do, you will most likely fail. Just get out of your own comfort zone and do it!Sixth, investment - you won't be able to get an investment until you have growth aka traction. Put all thoughts aside on investment, and focus on building a strong team, build something users actual want. Here is a piece I wrote on Quora, covering 20 + startup topics with links to articles. It might be a good place to start: Luke Fitzpatrick's answer to What should you do if you want to be an entrepreneur, but have no background in business? Should you take a crash course of some kind, or perhaps find someone who knows what they’re doing?Need any help or advice, feel free to PM/ email me anytime.
I'm not sure is it's a cold sore?
Cold Sores start out with a tingling sensation on your lip and a small, hard spot that you can't yet see. THAT's when you first want to put some sort of product on it to prevent it from breaking out into a blistered sore that will rapidly get gross and painfull. If you wait until a blister forms and starts to spread... about all you can do is wait it out. I swear by Abreva. It's kinda pricey for the tiny tube, but it WORKS! I carry my little tube in my coin purse so I always have it with me. Right now there is no cure for Cold Sores. Once you get a cold sore you will have out breaks of them forever. Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus, which is very contagious. The virus is usually contracted early in childhood. Unfortunately, our body's immune system isn't able to completely get rid of the infection and the virus remains in our body, usually hidden in a nerve located near the cheekbone. A cold sore outbreak is often triggered by a number of external factors such as: sun exposure, stress, cold weather, fever, cold or flu, fatigue or hormones. During an out break you MUST be very carefull not to spread it to others by kissing, performing oral sex, sharing eating utensils & drinking glasses/cups. razors and towels as this can spread this infection. Other cold sore products include Viranox & Safe Lips. (I haven't tried them though)
Should I go on a date when I am not sure if I am interested in someone?
I did that. I met someone online and I wasn’t sure if I felt an attraction for her. So I went out with her and I left myself an out. I even had people call in a fake emergency just in case. After the first date, she wanted to plan the second. Still hesitant, I went out with her again. She was a great conversationalist. Even though I didn't feel much of an attraction, I decided to give it some more time. Then we went on a third, a fourth, a fifth. By that time, I thought of her as my dinner companion. I didn't try to sleep with her because I didn't want to be that guy. I don't use people.I believe it was at that point, or soon after, she told me that I was what she was looking for in a man and she wanted more. I was honest and I said that I wasn't sure if I wanted more or not. I told her that I didn't feel an attraction, and I might never feel anything else for her. So I'd understand if you'd want to give up.She wasn't upset at all. In fact she went entirely in a different direction. She said that she wanted me to be happy with the right person, even if that person wasn't her. We stayed friends and we both dated others… Or so I thought. I dated others while she just waited for me.Long and short of it, we ended up dating exclusively a year later. Cool thing is by that time I actually had feelings for her, though I wasn't sure what it was. It was 2–3 years after that when I knew that I wanted her and only her in my life. Though deep down I think she traded down dating me. I still do.It's now been 10 years and I'm sure I made the right choice. We're married now. We're both happy. We are each other's best friend and closest confidant.Just go out and take it slow. See what develops. You never know, she just might be the one.
I’m seeing a new therapist and am not sure it’s going to work out. I felt they did most of the talking and tried to solve my problems on the first day. They also kept talking about how their throat hurts. Is this a red flag?
It is a red flag. Your session is not about the therapist. You are paying her/him to listen to you, not the other way around. No one can “solve your problems “. You are the expert on your life. A therapist can listen. You can work it out from there.
An oldies song I'm not sure what it's called?
Perhaps it is Edison Lighthouse's "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" from around 1970. I think the main line was "Because love grows where my Rosemary goes. And nobody knows like me." I remember at the time the main line from the chorus raised some eyebrows because some thought it was a sly reference to marijuana or something sexual in nature. If it was it is so tame in comparison to today.
The condom fell off and I'm not sure if it's inside me or not...?
I've got some bad news for you - it is NOT just going to slip out. :( I had this happen right after my hubby and I married - I had to go to my PCP and have them remove it . lol. I was mortified, but the nurse said it really isn't that uncommon. HOWEVER... when I first talked to her on the phone, she said to lay on my back with my legs drawn up to my chest as far as I could. Then use my fingers (or have my husband use his) GENTLY to feel around and see if you can get it and pull it out. Mine was too far in to get it out though. It can cause a major infection - try to get it out or go get your doctor to take it out. Good Luck.
