hello, i was injured 41/2 months ago - first Dr. said torn rotator cuff and sent me to PT for two months it never got better so i went to Orthopedic Clinic. They finally did a MRI and said not torn cuff it is "shoulder impingement" time will heal it here have cortisone..... and still doing PT. I was hurting mostly in the backof the shoulder and some in the front, I got a cortisone shot in the back of shoulder about 5 weeks ago, after the shot the back side felt much better but then the front began to hurt more.... so the Dr gave cortisone in the front of the shoulder last week. Now the front feels good but the back side is hurting from simple movements that weren't hurting before.... I can't find info about this on the net anywhere. Does anyone with medical experieince know if this is common??? I can't reach Dr till next week.

have you noticed lately how many delusional girls are on here saying "im so fat i need to lose weight"???
because even tho thin seems to be "in" i kno so many guys who would rather have a girl whos not so disgustingly skinny. why do they think they look good like that? isnt it so much better to be healthy and actually fit into something besides size 8 kids jeans? dont you think you would rather look at somebody whos athletic and healthy than somebody whos got her bones sticking out and her clothes hanging off her? i mean even im trying to gain a few healthy pounds.
in other words its like nicole richie (anorexic and really gross looking) or somebody like shakira, whos thin but healthy at the same time.
so (guys mostly) what do you think about this? what would you say to girls who are starving themselves, going on these crazy diets, and literally dying to be thin?

I've had severe cystic acne since I was 15. I'm almost 23. I've seen dermatologists and they couldn't help. All they gave was medication that made my skin worse. Now what 15 year old is going to stick with something like that? Anyway, not long ago I found out that there is indeed some correlation between acne and consuming dairy. I stopped eating any dairy products and reduced my sugar intake and my skin began to clear up tremendously. I still got a couple of pimples here and there but nothing that wasn't gone within a couple of days. I didn't get the cysts anymore. The problem is that now I'm starting to get them again and I haven't changed my diet at all. It's gotten a lot colder recently and that's the only thing I can think of that's causing it. I've been using olay moisturizer for combination/oily skin with spf-15. It was working great up up to this point. Is there some other kind of moisturizer I should be using during winter? Can anyone help me?

I tried to ask this question once before, but deleted it because everyone got caught up on the details.

If you reply to this talking about anything other than substances you can take that give a euphoric and mellow buzz, you seriously suck at life.

Please, do not preach here... this is for a research paper, ok?

Can you please post photos of females with abs that you find attractive? Pay no consideration to the face as all I am worried about is the abs....Preferably no celebrities, if possible. I want to know what type of abs for women appeal to both sexes? Do women think that females look best with toned stomachs but not too much definition? Do men prefer 4 pacs or more "cut" abs? Share all your thoughts and photos....

Let me rephrase since the last question got so much abuse about my fat you know what and looking for a cheap doctor. I am not fat or looking for a cheap doctor. Just investigating ways to look better. I have done some research and heard that some areas of the country (and even other countries) are cheaper than others. I'm wondering if anyone out there really knows if this is true and if so which cities are known for having cheapER cosmetic surgeries?

Hi, when they are checking for "everything" and I'm getting a blood test tommarow at 9am... do I stop eating at 9pm or midnight... last time it was midnight but they were just checking iron and calcium.. not hemoglobin/red blood cell count or other stuff.

So how long do I fast for?

There's a good sized bump/ball on my knee. its on the outside of my right knee though. When you run your fingers over it. it is a small hard ball. And it moves around. However it is also sensitive to touch and hurts. I haven't hit it on only anything. But it continues to make my knee hurt. Maybe Im just paranoid. But I just need to know, if it coudl be a sist, and nothing major.
