Health - 29 June 2006

well, six weeks ago, coming up seven I sprained my ankle at netball and ever since I have been playing netball but it really hurts and you know how the swelling supposed to have gone after one week, well my ankle is still as swollen as it was when I did it, my mum said that its not because I have been playing netball on it (she is a nurse) so she should know. and I went to the doctors and they said that was nothing wrong with it and I doubt it, this was 5 weeks ago, what can I do to stop the swelling its really bugging me so yeah, and my netball coach who is the same age as me has been pressuring me to stop playing till its better, but then we wont have enough people on our team to play. And I play competitively so I can’t just not play. and I have been wearing an ankle brace, since I did it and it hasn't helped and it is like the best one on the market, so you think I should stop playing or go back to the doctors and stuff like that because, right now I am really confused. Help me!!

I'm taking microgestin fe 1/20. After taking it for a few days, I started my period but kept taking them (it said to still keep taking them if you start bleeding). when my period is just about over I try masterbating and I feel REALLY sensitive (in a painful way) inside. I figure "Okay.. I DO tend ot get sensitive during periods.. but usually it's gone by now.. but I guess it still is.. no big deal". Anyways, so 2 or 3 days later, my period is completely cleared. I attempt to have sex with my boyfriend, and I feel really sensitive again, to the point where I just didn't want to do it anymore and stopped. Then afterwards, it still felt sensitive (even though nothing was touching it) for about 10 minutes. It's only sensitive on the inside, not the outside. This has never happened to me before, and me and my boyfriend have been on a monogamous relationship for 4 years, and we both lost our virginity to eachother (I haven't even kissed another man before him, and vice versa).

My 6yr old has alot of aggression towards dogs and cats. She was diagnosed with ADHD last year and has been taking meds for it. I let her slack off on taking them in the summer and now she has been beating, kicking, and throwing my dogs around with no explanation except that she just "feels angry". I was wondering if anyone else had any experiences with anything like this. Thanks

Ive been told that depression can be a mental disorder, sometimes caused by a chemical inbalance in the brain. Ive been told that depression is by choice, that Im making my self feel sad. I dont know what it is, but what I do know is that I wake up everyday feeling horribly miserable, Im almost afrai to go to sleep b/c of how I will feel the next day. Ive seen doctors and Im taking meds, nothing helps. I figure, if I could ask the wrld, then why not? Maybe there might be some help for me out there...

My 15 yr old cousin was recently diagnosed with high cholesterol and has been eating all the wrong things, her mother still buys the high fat snacks for her siblings, but expects the 15 yr old not to eat them. SHe has been found with junk food stashes and this is getting out of hand, she is afraid to diet because she thinks she has to give up all the foods she loves for "rabbit food". If anyone has any ideas or recipes pack with alot of flavor but not alot of fat please pass them along.

What is a matter with me? My period is not due till the middle of July, yet I am craving chocolate and having these horrible swing moods. Where I want to cry all the time, yet if someone does anything I wanna kill them. Can hormones be this messed up even when your period isnt due? And no I am not pregnant. Please give some advice what should I do?

I keep getting these pains in my lower abdomen, and lower back I've already had my period, so I know it can't be that. During my periods, I get intense cramps in both my back, and lower stomach, so badly that it causes me to cry, and I can't get comfortable. No medicine has worked to relieve my pain. I've had kidney problems before, so could that have something to do with it?
