I am scheduled to have a tummy tuck on the 14th December and have been advised to give up smoking - however I dont know how Im going to do it as I actually like smoking, I smoke about 20 per day - my husband smokes about 40 per day so Im just not sure I can do it, I was told if I couldnt give up that I should cut down as much as possible. Has anyone had a tummy tuck and not given up smoking? How did it go, how were your results? Where there any complications? I have read all the websites that tell you, you are at a higher risk of complications with smoking but I havent found too much about peoples results when they were unable to give up.

I have had this injury since I was a kid. Now I'm 30. I heard of surgery that can help but I'm concerned about how effective it would be. I'm wondering if I should just continue with cable machines and range of motion exercises.

In a pretty stupid attempt to fix my toenails, I wounded myself on one of my toes... The injury's been there for several days now and I've been taking care of it with Betadine with not very good results. As you may know, the fact that the feet is aislated and under stress during most of the day makes it kinda hard. Today I extracted a relatively large amount of pus for a toe and decided to try something else.

I was thinking on submerging to toe in alcohol for a while and then making a bandage from gauze, or something like that; I am afraid, however, that this will not do much good as it will still get infected again when I put my socks/shoes on.

So, do you have any suggestions on disinfecting it and KEEPING IT THAT WAY?

I tore the lateral meniscus in my knee, so I had surgery to clean the knee, but there is part of my cartilage missing so there is a bone on bone condition... this has caused me to stop running because of the pain, swelling, and stiffness. I can do it for a couple of days, but then it just starts to stiffen again and become problematic. Can't play basketball or anything that involves sharp cutting. I used to weight a healthy 180 at 5'11' and in shape. Now im the opposite. I was wondering if there was anyone who could give me some adivce and direction in this matter about losing the weight w/o bearing a treamendous load on my knee and if there is anything in particular I can do with my knee to help it.

Does anyone know what dark marks mean under the finger nail? I have been getting them for a long time now, they start near the base of the nail and move up the nail as it grows. It's not a bruise. I know white marks are lack of calcuim but these are dark dark red lines. Any clues?

I broke it about 6 weeks ago, the bone has healed and I have very little pain there, but my foot is killing me. The dr. says it will hurt for awhile, but I don't think he was paying attention to what I was saying. Is it normal to have this pain (it is along the outer side of my foot along the top), should I get a second opinion?

I am on constant pain, but it's usually bearable. For 4 days now I cannot walk without assistance from a person, or the nearest door handle or stable object, and today it is still constant, and gets worse, or flares, when I move my arms or legs. I am okay if I just move one arm if I am applying pressure to a table or something with the other, but other wise I feel like I could just collpase from the pain. I have tired taking anti-inflamitories as well as pain relief caplets but nothing helps. I have had x-rays, seen a chairopractor who put little pads on my back that expell electric shock waves of some sort, and I feel like I am wasting time and money by seeing more doctors. The pain goes from the lower lumbar all the way to where my tail bone is. There MUST be something causing this pain!
