Health - 28 March 2007

I turned 17 two weeks ago, so I am allowed to participate in my school's annual blood drive. Thing is, it's scheduled on the same day that the school musical is and I have a decent part (I'm a Pickalittle lady in the Music Man) so I don't know if giving blood is the best idea. I also have AB- blood, which is quite rare and I know that if I ever needed blood, I'd wanna know that the hospital has it and not 'the next best thing.' Help?

I had a baby normal delivery and the next day I could not go to sleep because a nurse would visit my room every two hours. I finally past out in an awkward position and woke to a horrific pain in my shoulder due to the way I slept.
Doctors research suggests the chemical released in a womens body during delivery (intended for proper movement of the bones allowing the baby to drop) is reason for other joints to be pulled out of alignment. So if that's so wouldn't it be a pregnancy related injury?

OK...I bought these shoes last summer and they are nothing special. In fact they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever had EXCEPT...

They are low closed-toe leather shoes and the problem I'm having is at the heel. So, the shoes are closed at the back of the heel but the back of the shoe presses real hard right on top of my left heel. OK this is not easy to explain so sorry for the confusion.

Either way...my question is...how do I soften the leather at the back of the shoe so it stops giving me blisters???

Last two days, the skin near my chin became very itchy and rough. I scratched it and it turned really red. Now, it has turned into an extremely dry patch. My boyfriend experienced the same thing during his visit to agra india. He just ignored it and the thing healed itself in two weeks. What's actually happening to the skin? Is there any home remedies or tips?

I have read it is much more successful than traditional open back surgery with much less recovery time. These places seem super successful and super expensive too....I live in Texas and do have insurance that only pays 25% if not done at HCA hospital. Any suggestions???

I went to the orthodontist yesterday, and I have to get braces on all of my teeth. I'm wondering if it will hurt at all for the 2 years that I have to wear them. If it does hurt, please explain what hurts, and how to get rid of the pain! Also explain foods that I can't eat, thanks!

A little over a month ago my yorkie was in the garage with me, I was getting ready to go out so I was closing the garage door. Well, I guess he saw something outside that he wanted to chase after right at the moment I was bringing the door down and I hit him. I realized it when he cried and when I reacted I realized that the door had hit his back and pinched him between the floor and the door. I emedialtly brought the door back up and he walk off limping. I picked him up to see where he was hurt and say a very small amount of blood on his paw. I did my best to clean it up and take care of it, but he wasn't very cooperative. The cut healed but he still limps, although it's not everyday. Some days he walks just fine and others with a lite limp and other days he won't put his paw on the ground at all. What could be wrong? Could he be faking it? I'm affraid to take him to the vet because I found him 2 years ago and don't know if he has a chip. Don't want give him up please help!

Both wrists and knees, been going to therapy for 4 months now and two different offices, both doctors said it was defenitely tendons and not something else like a fractured bone cause they stretched my joints and bunch of ways. I reinjured my wrist a few weeks back doing a push-up test in school, and now it hurts worse than it ever did plus the pain isn't really going away as fast with therapy. It's not carpal because my hand doesn't feel numb or hurt, and pain is isolated in hte wrist. I have weight training for gym in school plus I played a lot of basketball. Any ideas what I should do? (Other than rest, because I'm planning on being more careful)

my "package" is like 6 1/2 inches long. I don't want to throw in "1/2" since that seems kind of desperate (like counting in half years as a kid) so should I Just say 6 or 7?
