General Health Care - December 2006

I got my upper lip (madonna, monroe) pierced. All the piercist said was to put some antiseptic on the front, and salt water inside.

just a few questions i'd like to know

How long will it take to heal?
Will it damage my teeth?
What foods should i avoid while its healing?
When can i change the piercing to another one?

I keep wanting to sleep for long periods for no reason and without any other symptoms of fatigue. Im also not depressed and a very healthy human.

does this signify a reduction in oxygen levels in the environment I live in?

You go to a party, you get drunk. You meet a person, one thing leads to another and you end up together. Can/Did you remember to use a condom?

I miscalculated the number of steps left while going down a flight of stairs. I thought I had reached the bottom but there was another set of steps and my foot unexpectedly went lower; I rolled and sprained my ankle very badly. The lighting in the store was VERY dim (probably about as dark as the most dimly lit bar in your area) and I could not see the last step. Do I have a case? If so, does anybody know any lawyers in the Los Angeles area?

Hey guys I have huge trouble walking on my flat feet. It is extremely painful!!! I was born like this of course. The doctor says my tendins are short, and it is not severe. I get a bunch of crap like Ballerina boy and tip-toe kid. AND IM SICK OF IT!!! So.. does anyone know what is wrong??? Also on a final note, I play on a great baseball team, one of the best in the county and it effects me with my running, and I can't even get near my toes when I try to touch them.

Would especially like to hear answers from people 60+ who might be able to offer the younger generation some helpful advice on living a full and happy life. Doesn't have to be health related, could be finance, relationships, etc., I just couldn't find a suitable category.

I recently cut my middle finger while i was at work and had to get 2 stitches . When i got the stitches and after a few days i couldn't feel from the cut up.When i got my stitches taken out i asked the lady and shes said that i might of damaged some nerves. But some days i can feel a little bit in my finger and some days its tingling(like how your foot falls asleep on you).I was wondering does anybody know how long it would take to get most to all of the sensation back into my middle finger?

I was playing basketball about 8 months ago and I tore my left acl. The doctor gave me two options, strengthen the muscles around the knee or surgury. He said that the muscles can become strong enough to compensate for the acl. However, I've done the exercises, and it hasn't be working. I can't even do a "bunny-hop" without it going out. I feel that the exercises are not working and my knee is just getting worse. So I'm wondering whether I just need to do more exercise concentrating on the knee (even though I've already been doing it for 8 months), or should I just do the surgury. Also what is the success rate for an ACL repair?
