Is this really normal? Every single thing I've read online has stated that I should be feeling a ton of pain and be very unstable. I'm going to see an actual ankle specialist on Tuesday but this guy sounded really grimm about my ankle. He told me I had some torn ligaments and a fracture on the back of my tibia. Right after I twisted in (about 7 days ago) it did hurt and swelled up a lot, then it DID bruise a ton...But now the swelling has gone down a lot. Even right after I did it I could walk on it. Now, I can walk on it fine with no limp or crutches or braces. This completely goes against everything I've read, like I said, about what he said. I would think I should be feeling SOME hurting, but it's more of an irritation. It honestly doesn't hurt much at all. I could see if I NEEDED crutches or something but as of right now I can stand on one foot with nothing else holding me up. What gives? He told me he thinks I was going to need surgery and definitely a cast...I'm a bit skeptical.

I have been cutting for seven years now. It has gotten to the point that I am getting stitches all the time and am severing tendons from cutting too deep. I have tried many diffrent types of teatment. I have seen numerous therapists and shrinks, I have done group therapy, CBT, DBT, lived in a residential treatment facility for 2 years, been hospitalized many times, and tried to do some work on my own. I really want/need to stop, but when that urge hits I can only hold off so long before it get overwhelming and I give in. What is left for me to try?

We didn't have sex or anything, but we played "Just The Tip", but he didn't actually put it in, and he fingered me. Now my groin area is really sore. Is something wrong with me? I was or am a virgin.

So many people use/buy herbs. The FDA does not evaluate their nutritional and medical values. Why the hell not?

Inside my mouth..this has been going on for years but now has gotten really bad..i have a condition that comes and goes..it is very raw and read on the insides of my checks and my gums..and now it is my tongue too that has what I think is not only redness by sores. The dentist, the periodontist..the oral surgeon have all tried to treat it..but have thrown up their hands with saying i have to live with it. The biopsies all come back with saying it isn't pre cancerous..but a harding of the skin and possibly likan plantus..(i am probably spelling this incorrectly) the 'verdict' is that it is not contageous..i just have to live with it. I personally think it is an allergic reaction to possibly substitute sweetner that is in the gum i chew a lot or something? help i am in misery(tomorrow I go to an oral surgeon..have any suggestions?)

I just recently inherited a substantual amount of $ from a family member. My ex-common law wife found out about it and threatened to sue me for a peice of it, stating that she is entitled to a share. We were seperated for a long while before I inherited, I say that she is not entitled. P.S. I have full custody of our child, I told her to leave me alone or I would sue her for child support--this was just a scare tactic on my behalf--the $ is for the raising of my child and a good amount has already been put in a savings account for my child.

He uses an electric toothbrush but doesn't get all the plaque off. Since his dentist retired I get the impression the new one doesn't want anything to do with him. He wants to wait 3 months and let the teeth get more rotten.(no fillings have been put in for over a year) They said my son will end up with dentures but I don't think we should do nothing for 3 months. He isn't yet on medicade and when my husband retires in 8 months we lose the dental insurance we now have. What dentist is best with special needs kids people and where? I'm looking for an orthodontist or possibly an oral surgeon if the teeth have to come out. Should I try case western reserve or the cleveland clinic or is there something closer to home. I live in Rome ohio. Do I need a second opinion?

im 16 years old and i met a guy who was 30. at first i thought this was sick at first but he grew on me. but then all of a sudden he kept harasing me to let him take photographs of me . and said they were not dirty as he wasent like that. at first i thought there was something fishy about it but was kind of scared of him.he took harmless photos of me just like playing sports. then about 2 weeks ago he asked if i could just wear a thong and a bra. i said no but he turned abit violent so i did it. and asked me to take some sexy shots. after taking these crude photos of me, i knew this was not for me and thought ill just cut contact with him. but he started phoning me asking me to finger myself down the phone to him and if i didint he would post the photos of me on his website. he then blackmailed me in to having sex with him. these last two weeks have been the worst time of my life. theres no way i can tell my family they will kill me. where am i suppsed to go from here
