i usually have wrist problems, but yesterday at tumbling, i came down on my left arm pretty hard twice. and it hurt when i did it, but then the pain went away. but now the bone hurts again, and i don't know what's wrong? can bones be bruised? i'm 100 percent sure it's not a break. because that would be MUCH more painful. but it's pretty sore. does anybody knows what's wrong?

I'm petite, but I rather big boobs cuz I wanna catch you staring as opposed to talking about my butt behind my back, lol. But big boobs can get saggy...and a big butt that isn't firm and just jiggles for no reason is gross. What's your choice?

I stopped watching porn, but I still like to masturbate. And I usually do it to fantasies I have, is that wrong? People told me porn could become addicting, but if I have fantasies isn't that the same thing? Is it ok?

My brother was diagnosed with Duchennes Muscular Dystrophy at the ripe age of four, this disease killed him a eighteen, after fourteen years of being unable to walk and slowly losing the control of his muscles, including his heart. This disease was very painful to the family and to my dear brother.

I am a MD carrier of 50%, this means that if I have a boy there is a 50% chance he would have the disease. If I had a girl, there is a 50% chance that she would also be a carrier. Now, I have no idea how my husbands genes would contribute and there is no way in knowing if he can lower the chances.

We want to have one baby and adopt one but I have no idea if it the right thing to do. I am forever grateful that I had my brother in my life, he really was the only security I had but is it right for me to take such a risk knowing what the disease is about?

Why do so many people ask questions that have nothing to do with Alternative Medicine on the Alternative Medicine Y!A board? Do you think they just don't know what "Alternative Medicine" means?

My boyfriend and I have been thinking about having sex for a while, and this'll be my first time. This is gonna sound really stupid, but I figure it's better to be safe than sorry... When I go back to the gynecologist, wil there be any chance she'll now? Will it be obvious? I know my hyman will break, will she see that? Will there be any other giveaways? I just don't want anything to get back to my parents, is all... Can someone help me?

The past year and a half have been incredibly hard for me.. I lost my mom to cancer, have had a huge responsibilty in doing everything in our home and helping raise my younger sister, had the pressures of senior year and applying for college, had to quit my part time job, our family went through a tough time financially, I lost some long time friends, had a rocky relationship with my boyfriend, and had some problems with my extended family.

That said, I'll admit this has changed me. I worry more, am very cautious and untrusting for fear I will be hurt or betrayed again, and have been a bit depressed at times. I just wasn't your typical easy going teen, but with medication I have gotten out of the despression and am really doing good, I feel that everything has made me stronger...but my problem is people have been calling me crazy. I am constantly watched and criticized. If I ever get upset about anything in public they gossip about it and say I need help. How can I get them to stop

I've just recently began to pay more attention to this, but I realized how much pubic hair I've got and I'm wondering if it's as normal for girls to shave down there as it is for them to... say, shave their legs? If I don't shave it, will it become a problem and get me made fun of? Help?

I'll be 24 very soon, & I have a college degree. Some people tell me that I shouldn't be made to take medication, have a case manager, & see a psychiatrist if I'm of age & don't do self-harm or harm to others. When my family or my case manager or the doctor suspect I'm not taking my medicine, they make threats to have me mentally hospitalized. Is this legal?

Periods (females) are a major setback I think today. You feel so depressed and you're stomach sometimes is unbearable. How come throughout history in books no one metions the endurance famous women had to go through. Especially in earlier times the queens. Didn't they write in their journals. I haven't read Anne Frank but did she write about them? I mean what did they do when they were stuck in the basement. No access to products. I'm confused.

Okay. I'm on the patch at the moment. I've been on it for about three months. I replace it every week. Same day. Same time. Different spot. Just like the doctor said I should.
But I have continuous bleeding for weeks. This was supposed to stop my period, but instead it seems to have made it longer, just less painful.
I do not like doctors at all, so I want to see if anyone has some answers before I go back.
So any ideas as to why this would be happening? Or how I can stop it?
