hello all

well i have sprained my ankles many time but nothing compared to teh pain of this injury. i cant put any pressure on it....if i do i get a pain that very noticably (sp?) come from my toes and shots up to the middle of my shin. If i lift my leg and have nothing supporting my ankle then it hurts alot also. it isnt bruised, and isnt too swelled up. When i do attempt to put some weight on it and lay my foot flat, i cant have from my knee down straight or it feels like its going to crack. i dont know how to explain everything really well im only 14. but any good information and advice will be appriciated
thanks

My son is almost 14 and wants to wear contacts instead of glasses. He has already had his exam and the doc fitted him for the lenses; now he is scheduled to return next Tuesday to learn to put them in and remove them himself. He is concerned about being able to touch his eye, etc. Can you share any ideas or techniques that have helped you or your kids with contacts? My daughter has been wearing them for years and has never had a problem, but I have been told it is harder for boys to get used to.

I am a 14 year old who was wondering how common it is for a person my age to get cancer. My grandfather had skin cancer, but he got it because he was outside a lot. In that side of the family, heart problems are common. On my mother's side, my great uncle died of lung cancer, but he smoked. Everyone on that side smoked, so I can't tell if lung cancer on that side is genetic. I exercise, eat a balanced diet, so what are my chances of getting any type of cancer?

The "growth" is located in the upper part of arm bone, not at the joint and is "sizeable". The doctor said that he wants to re-MRI in about 6 months and it is likely benign. Son is very healthy. Should I get a second opinion?

Ok. So my nails kind of lost they're cuticles. (Which I thought to be a good thing.) Until little dents kind of started growing out in my nails. Do you know what it is? Seriously? And is there a way I can fix it?


I've decided to meet a doctor, but just asking, because... well I don't know why... but w/e. (Thank-you!)

I keep having panic attacks at school and they are completely killing me. Ive been on anti-depressents for 4 years switching from one to one because I havent found one that helps me yet. I have been to therapy and I pratice the techniques everyday and it seems as if I have mastered them but when I use them when im anxious and they dont seem to help me very much. I exercise virgiously just to hopefully get some peace of mind but doesnt do a whole lot. I need help fast please.

My blood pressure is about 78/52 and the nurse said that I cannot donate blood because they would have to take me to the hospital and put it back in. Is that correct and if it is, does it mean that if I was injured and losing blood I would die more quickly than someone with normal bp?
