Health - 12 September 2006

I fell and twisted my ankle on Friday morning... although it hurt to walk, I could still walk by limping and I'm sure nothing was broken. Today is Tuesday night so it's been 4 days since.

My question is, is it normal for my foot to stay swollen this long? I can walk fairly well without limping (although slow, of course). But there's this dull ache from my toes to my knee (it doesn't hurt a lot, but it's just there, you know?) Is that normal after almost five days? Also, how long does a swollen foot after a sprained ankle last?

I get really paranoid with the idea of ever meeting someone with it and engaging in sexual acts. I need to know what are some evident signs in a person. Physically what they look like.

Is it hard pleasuring your woman, keeping the relationship together with a woman that you find irresistable according to your standards or scoring lady with a 4-4.5 inch erect penis. Perhaps even 3inch?

Sometimes I'm just very happy, and then I'll be depressed again. I'm 17 and never had a boyfriend, it's also my last year in highschool. I really want to be a doctor, and I'll try but I know that I most likely won't be accepted because my grades aren't high enough. I don't think I'm really pretty either, so I have low self esteem. I don't know what to do anymore. I bet I won't ever find a guy who will like me.

I've been trying to get an issue worked out with my health insurance for weeks. I've called and left messages several times (probably 6-8 voicemails) and left an e-mail. Each time that I finally reach a person, they tell me that it'll be taken care of but it's not. It's been going on close to 6 weeks now and I'm reaching the end of my patience. Any advice?

This person just got fired from their job. They've also recently suffered from ailing health, an emotionally devastating break-up, and depression after failed attempts at a few new relationships. Anything I can do, I will. Better safe than sorry, even at the risk of being intrusive.

How old do you have to be? What other alternatives are there, besides glasses, contacts, and lasik eye surgery? I'd like something permanant. How long does it take for it to heal? Are there serious risks during the procedure? If I can't get lasik eye surgery done, what's the problem? Sorry about all the questions, feel free to give me as much information as you can because I'm pretty sure I'm missing something that I'll want to know later . .

I just went through a few Q & As in the mental health section. Seems like an awful lot of people are getting strong antidepressants for stress, of all things. Do you think it's right that doctors prescribe drugs for a condition that would be better dealt with by exercise and a little psychological therapy? Maybe even a good diet with a few well chosen supplements? Are doctors taking the easy way out? Do you think they may be in bed with the big pharmaceutical companies? Maybe doctors are just fed up with lazy patients and giving them what they ask for instead of what's good for them (like a kick in the butt).
