My fiancee has torn her ACL in her knee and now has to have surgery. The surgeon put her in a Townsend Rebel Pro ACL Brace. Does anyone know how to make these things more comfortable to wear?

I started getting cellulite about a year ago. I'm not over weight and looked it up and found out it's not from eating the wrong thing or weight gain it's actually from dehydrated skin and veins. i couldn't find a way to get rid of it without expensive creams and lotions does anyone know a natural way of getting rid of it with out medications and creams? Please help i'm beginning to get very self-concious about it!

I am 30 and have serious toilet problems. I need to go for excretions about 2 to 3 times every morning, on a daily basis. If I am unable to clear my bowels, I feel very unconfortable throughout the whole day and also experience bad gas frequently till I go for excretions again. Also I am unable to work.please give me an explanation.

Do I really need to go to the doctor? I'm not big on going to the doctor, but if you guys suggest it, I will go. Just wondering if there is anything else I can do.

at the hospital reported him to the state for at least three conditions he did not have (including seigure disorder.) The doctor did this without telling my dad he was doing it AND Before any tests had confirmed what actually was wrong with him..The doctor reported to the state that my dad had dementia, psychiatric disorders, and seizure disorders..None of which was true...Tests revealed he has sleep apenia...It cost him four months without a driver's license, money for second opinions from other doctors, and a lot of time and effort having wrong information removed from his driver's license record.

Does he have a malpractice case, should he report this to the licensing board for the Doctor and/or the hospital.

Does anyone know if he has a legal case for damages..

I've been experiencing mild abdominal pain on my right side directly below my rib cage on and off for 7 years. It used to last for about an hour and now it can last for days. It is very localized and specific to one spot. Sometimes it hurts pretty bad, and other times its just mild.

My son is 3yrs and has got cerebral palsey (right sided Hemiplegia) I wanting to know more about this so i logged on to a site called "what doctors don't tell you" (WDDTY) There was a article saying studies done in the USA, found that people with cerebral palsay can live as long as 25yrs old, according to early studys the life exspectgency was only 20yrs old.
Is any of this true?
When my son was final diagnosed with CP noboby told me my son would only live until he was 20yrs old or around about this.

He has been to a neurologist. They mention he may need walking casts, braces to extend the muscles, or surgery. What kind of surgery might that be? Is there a name for this? They checked his creatin kinase and that is fine. His feet are flat and he walks tiptoe because it hurts him and also other parts hurt like his hips, knees, sometimes back and etc from this stress. It hurts to extend his achilles tendon and the dr's said it should go up more than 10 degrees. My son is type 1 diabetic but all claim this is not related. I just wanted to add that this is both feet. Thank You for you time.
