I have an ingrown toenail on my left big toe. Its not that deep but I cant reach it to cut it. This is my third ingrown toenail and my second on the same toe. Are there any remedies to maybe loosen the nail so I can cut it? When the doctor cuts it, the pain afterwards is excruciating!

If you lose weight, a lot of weight, is there any way to keep from having loose, baggy skin? If someone loses around 90 pounds, will they have to deal with all of that?

has anyone ridden roller coasters after back surgery? ive had a laminectomy in my lower back. Feel fine..of coarse never 100%..but the pain is pretty much ignorable. its only a nuisance at times..and at others its like a little cramp..but nothing else. just wondering what the most active thing you've done is after surgery.

Also...when i eat salads i'm not bloated at all, but when i eat chocolate or cookies or cake (excluding glazed donuts...idk why but those don't hurt my stomach),etc, and also potatoes. my stomach ends up feels bloated(and i look 6 months pregnant...usually i'm pretty thin) and hurts really bad. what could this be?

I am so confused with diets and become very overwhelmed when trying to decide which one to try. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? Should I do the low carb, low fat or low calorie?

My BMI shows that I am still at the risk of being overweight, or that this is the time to start improving, but i dont just wanna hear excersize or cut down on food or eat healthy. I need a good plan that will guarantee me loosing some weight please.

Hi
Although height doesn't bother me too much, I wondered if I could ask for your assistance on predicting, roughly, my final height.
I'm 16.5(almost) and live in the UK, i'm now 180cm - which I think is 5'11", although I eat healthy, in the last 5 years I haven't really done much sport - i used to cycle and run a lot.

My dad is about the same height, perhaps a few cm taller
My mum is about 5'4".
Grandparents on my dads side: 6'0" & 5'2"
Grandparents on my mum's side: 6'2" & 5'0"

My dad didn't have a great deal of good nutrition in his youth, so perhaps could have been a bit taller, as all of the other males on his side of the family are 6' or over.

So my question really, if possible is how tall should I be - not too sure when growing in boys is meant to end, as I have noticed recently I have reached my dad's height and wondered if I would out-grow him.

Thanks for your time and I hope I haven't confused things too much!

Every once in a while, my blood sugar gets really low and I start feeling weak or sick. I've actually fainted 3 times from low blood sugar in my life. It was always when I got hungry but couldn't eat for whatever reason. Anyway, I want to lose 5 pounds, but sometimes when I get hungry, my blood sugar falls and I end up on a binge. What are foods that will get my blood sugar back up quickly without too many calories?

When someone experiences tumor symptoms, such as numbness or tingling, does it usually only affect 1 body part at a time? for example you will feel numbness on 1 side of your body like left arm and foot. or another person will feel numbness in both of their legs. another person will feel numbness in their face, etc...Or can it be a general numbness all over the body such as both hands and both feet, legs, arms, etc?

I use to masturbate almost daily, and even did it 35 times in a week once. Now I have almost no urge to do it. I still get erections and am I attracted to girls, but I haven't done it in 35 days. I've been depressed for a couple months, but I haven't seen a doctor and am not taking any medications.. Do you think this is related to a medical condition, depression, stress, or something else?

I constantly have to be moving. I tried to sit still for church this morning, but I ended up peeling the foil off the gum wrapper paper. I have trouble making eye contact for long periods of time- my eyes end up darting all over the place. If I have to stay in one place, I'll twiddle my thumbs, pat my legs with my palms, shake my foot, click my tongue- anything. I physically CAN'T sit still!
I'm 14. I do extremely well in school. I don't get in fights, I don't backtalk, I have good friends. I have hypothyroidism and I'm medicated for that.

And don't be like "Go to the doctor don't ask people online". I've been to the doctor. One said "mixed type ADHD" without even explaining what that meant. He didn't prescribe anything. He didn't tell me what I could do to fix it.

I constantly need to move my hands, usually with a pencil. My school papers are littered with doodles. I can't keep a sheet of paper clean unles I force myself!!
I also have insomnia.
