is there any trick to prevent further worsening (nearsightedness) of eyesight without surgery?
eye exercises? limiting the use of computer/TV? any proven facts from studies?

3 weeks ago i broke my ankle, fibula, and tibia, it was all set in place and no pins or metal or anything, surgery was great, just stuck it back in and put a good, and heavy, plaster cast on it, first few days, it felt almost too tight (from swelling and stuff),but now, it feels like it might be a little loose. i could fit a finger in it easy, my leg can move around barely, its mostly loose at the top edge but it seems tighter at the bottom (at where i think is the useless spot for it to be, near the toes, the breaks HIGHER) now sometimes it hurts a little if i put it in a certain spot, i wouldnt want to have to get a new cast and everything, but if its not really a problem if its slightly loose. also, i felt a wierd (pinch?) sensation a few times, it felt like liquid was in the spot for a second but goes away. not really painful but kinda sharp, really hard to describe without giving people the wrong idea (like the bone is sticking out of my skin or something, which it isnt)

for the past three nights I have gotten a nosebleed and a little bit of blood in my mouth. First of all, I rarely get nosebleeds.
Could the blood in my mouth be from my nose? it seems to be bleeding from deep inside. These only last for a few minutes
any ideas?*

My sons plays soccer, they had a game yesterday. He plays midfield. When he was dribbling around a defender and the defender slide tackled my son by accident, and when he slide tackled my son, he hit my sons ankle. he wore shin guards but his shin guards didnt cover his whole ankle. But they made it to the finals. And i am worried because he has been limping, and his ankle is really bruised. My husband thinks it looks like its broken, but i know my sons hasnt told us about it because he wants to play in the finals. i know im going to bring him to the doctors. But when he is aroud us he seems to walk on it fine. But when i see him walking down the hall he limps. I dont know how stupid he thinks we are to not notice his injury. But should he have told us first. because he has been on is foot for about 4 days. i bet he injured it more!

I have Patellar Tendinitis in my left knee. I can bend my knee but when I straighten it, I can hear lots of cracking. This especially happens when I kneel and stand, and even when I lay down and move my knee. I can't sit in one position more then 10 minutes because I begin to loose feeling in my left leg. Ive seen an orthopedic doctor several times but nothing has helped, not even knee braces or physical therapy. Anyone have any suggestions on getting rid of the cracking? It hurts and makes me feel like an old lady when I'm only 17.

About a week ago my wrist started a hurt a little. I didn't think much of it. Then it started to travel to my hand. Now my wrist doesn't hurt but my hand only. I thought it was going away but then I woke up this morning and it is almost unbearable. I can't open a can of soda...open a jar of spagetti, or lift anything. It also feels like it could be swollen. Most of the pain is in my thumb and in the palm area below my thumb, but it's basically my entire hand. What could this be? I'm not gonna go to the ER this weekend for it, but I may just have to get it checked, so I know this. But I'd like to have an idea of what it could be. I know it's impossible to diagnos me...just want some ideas. Maybe I can find some solutions to temperarily help my pain. I am 22 years old I kindad doubt it's arthritis. I did break my thumb, but that was casted and healed like a decade ago! Any ideas?

Yesterday, I found out from my doctor that I have a pinched nerve on one side of my left knee while the other side has a torn meniscus. I wasn't sure what type of tissue the meniscus is referring to.
