A few weeks ago I injured my ankle through twisting it n it soon became swollen without noticing. Recenlty I went 2 the foot specialists n they said that I would need 2 get a physio 2 take a look. It doesn't hurt much except if I walk alot alot. Like my ankle is still swollen though. Is this a major injury and can it be treated?

Do you think companies should let us have a quick nap after dinner to charge up our batteries, do u think the afternoon would be more productive somewhat.
The reason I'm asking is that I remember in primary school we used to go to sleep half way through.
This is a semi- serious question.

I am a 60 yr old female who works unloading trucks and processing merchandise for a retailer. I "popped" something in my shoulder the other night, and probably have been favoring the right arm. I lifted a 40 lb. box today, and it felt like something tore in my bicep area--hurt a lot!!! Later on, it happened again, and I dropped everything I was holding. Now it aches, the muscle seems to be knotted up, and it has turned black and blue all over the whole muscle area. (Which is LARGE--I have fat, fat arms.) How is this bruising from the inside out? (I did not injure the arm from the outside) I've been icing it. What else can I do?

sorry for long details.

this is what happened. years ago i got a scar on my knee. i have a friend who his mother is a farmacist. when my friend saw my knee, he told me that scar is a sign of a type of disease i dont remember it. i have to remove the scar or else next time if i have any wound on my body it will remained as a scar. is kind of weirdd, so i didnt bother much and i told my mother and she seemed like dont believe me. so i didnt do anything about the scar till today i realise that those pimples on my face have been there for a few month already. and also mosquito bites on my legs remained as a scar. therefore, i conclude that the if i got any other wound they will remained as a scar.

so doctor, what should i do? what is the name of the disease? how can it be cured? can my pimples scar on my face removed?

i got into a fight about a month ago and the area between my left pinky nuckle and wrist has hurt since. the description is similar to the symptoms of a "boxer's fracture", but i'm almost certain that my hand is not fractured (because the pain is very minimal).....if u have experience with this let me know how long it took your hand to heal and how your hand functions today....thank you

I feel very tense when I sit down at school (I'm in 8th grade) I can feel my shoulders getting tense, and my neck. I feel very excited, like Billie Joe Armstrong is about to perform Good Riddance right in front of me.
I have tried everything, getting it massaged out, hot bath with that special salt, heating pads, taking deep breathes, EVERYTHING in the book.
I'm not nervous scared or excited about school. To me its same-old-same-old, and nothing to be happy about.
I'm only 14, does this matter?

For a class project, I have planned to shut off the class lights and turn on red-light bulbs throughout out the entire hour period. Do you think that it will hurt people's eyes staring at a light red room for over an hour?
