i crack my knuckles (fingers and toes), neck, back, ankles, anything i can, any way i can.
is it bad for you?
i am addicted to it
i have tried to stop. ive looked it up online and people said their knuckles got bigger from it and mine have, not much, but enough for me to notice it.
i can't stop. i have asked people i know to yell at me when i do it and to slap my hands-anything to get me to stop, but i cant. i always go back to it. most of the time i dont even notice i am doing it.
can anyone tell me if it is bad or not?
does anybody have any advice on how to stop?
i would really appreciate the help.

My baby wasn't growing after 6 weeks and no heartbeat either. I didn't want a D&C so my Doctor inserted 4 tablets inside me to induce miscarriage/abortion. Went back to the doctor for follow-up 2 days later and did an ultrasound. I was told that all tissues had pass, uterus was clean and uterine lining was thin. I still see some tissue passing when I got home along with blood clots. The blood that's flowing out is very thick and stretchy, also flowing out really slow. Is that normal? Anyway, it's been 10 days already and I'm still bleeding. Not a lot or heavy, it's just a little here and there throughout the day for about 3 days now. How can I tell that all tissue had pass with that kind of bleeding? Miscarriage bleeding wasn't as heavy like what the doctor told me. It's just like a normal period to me. Although the bleeding looks like it's going to stop any day now, I'm still worry that it might be an incomplete miscarriage. Please help! Thanks!

If you think about it, your touching areas where body fluid comes out. Imagine all the germs and other things that are there. I am not against having sex, but using my hand just doesn't seem sanitary.

Isn't it a little too early, or has it become a sign of the times? Most of my friends, male and female, seem to be going thru the same thing in their own ways...Questioning their existence, their relationships, their jobs...Are we living in such stressful times??
Whats happening?

I went to the doctor bout 2 weeks ago. I am 14, 120 lbs, Five ft Six, and I hit puberity(w/ menstrual cycle) when I was 11. But, I had to go in for a ultra-sound and the doctor spotted a cyst in my left ovary. He said it's possible it may not be there since my last period, but I doubt that. Is it possible the cyst is still there? Am I too young to have a cyst? The cyst was only 1 cm. But I'm still worried because in the past my aunts & mother has had cysts that have kept them from having children.

My Husband and I are looking forward to having kids and it'll be so wonderful, and so much fun too! :)

Asside from all other concerns on how to raise them, etc., my main concern might sound silly at some point. Both of us are wearing glasses because of the vision problems: I have 6.5/7.0 vision and he has about 29.0 vision in both eyes (that's worse than my vision), due to that he has to wear specially designed glasses for his eye-sight just to see well. Only few of my relatives actually wear glasses, but due to the other health problems. And, as far as I know, no one wears them on his side of the family.

My questions are: How will this fact affect our kids? Will they have to wear glasses too? And/or how seriously their vision "problem" will be? Does the vision problem skip a generation, or not?

In other words: What should we know ahead of time so that way we'll know how to help, assist, and guide our kids in case they'll have to wear glasses or have any other vision problems?

One of my friends is sick, and her doctors told her that she needs surgery to get better. Yesterday she asked me if My dad could be her surgeon, because since she already knows my dad it will make her comfortable knowing that its him. However, is there a conflict of interest if my dad does become her surgeon? I know that my dad can never be my surgeon cuz they arent allowed to operate on family members. But what about friends? I didnt get a chance to ask my dad yet so im curious. please answer!

i've been depressed for long, due to health and social issues. my mind keeps telling me i'm crap, i'm worthless. and i don't see anyway to get out of this. Even when i forget it, then if i see some people happy or with friends( which i don't have), and knowing that i can't have that life makes me feel sad again.
