Checking a leak around our chimney six yrs. ago, I fell thru the ceiling and fractured almost every bone in my left foot, now my podiatrist tells me with the abnormal healing,deterioration and arthritis I need two pins and a fusion or plate in the foot, has anyone had this type of rather extensive surgery and was it worth it, the good or bad results, please share your experience with me. Thanks.

My wife, now 55 is suffering from what the doctors call 'TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA'. SHE GETS PAIN OVER THE MOLAR REGION, AT TIMES OVER THE FOREHEAD AND HEAD, AT TIMES ON THE BACK. She has undergone treatment by dentists, neurologists, homoeopaths but no permanent relief. Only 'GABA NEURON' gives some relief, this she is continuing for last 4 months, withdrawing this triggers the problem again. Can some body help????

Some how she tore the skin that was...I guess oit was the loop of the skin? Anyways, it's torn, and now two little flaps of skin are hanging, not like big pieces or anything, just thin little strips of skin...I haven't seen it yet, but this is what she has told me so far...what should she do? Should she cut the excess skin off? Or just let it fall off naturally? (Will it even do that?) She's had it for a year and a half now, and it's hasn't been much of a problem for her, I don't think she even picked at it when it started to thin out...how long should she wait till she can get it pierced again? And can this get infected? Because she said it didn't bleed or anything...so yeah I have no idea. Thanks.

I have this bone (3rd metatarsal, cuneiform area) - in other words, if I follow the third toe, (bone), up to my ankle, it's just below my ankle, almost mid-way (very top of my foot), and it's round in shape, and sticks out. It's actually a bit sore now, because I've been walking on it, but never really took notice of it, until I took a second job, where a lot of walking and standing really had an impact on it. Now, however, when I walk or stand too much, or put all my weight on my right foot, it gets a 'clicky' feeling, and it gets sore really quick!
Is this a fracture happening again, but in slow motion??? I'm worried because my third toe feels a bit numb. The bone is about the size of a dime and bulges out. It's not swollen, though....any thoughts?

Can any of these or the combo of them cause me to wake in the morning feeling almost drunk. Even stubling trying to get my balance. This is every morning, not just once or twice. I do not drink, except for maybe on or two times a year.
