completely smashed and put back together. It has been 18 surgeries SO FAR and I am "almost" back to normal. I have always been active and am VERY self conscious about the scarring and questions (I still am having nightmares about the occurence).

Do I tell someone up front (I don't want to talk about it) or do I say (are they horrible?)...........I need to get out more......but I am VERY concerned about someone making a comment. Any thoughts?

14 years old, female, scrawny, may have a thyroid problem but unsure.

Basically all my life I have always been bouncing off the walls hyper. This is really annoying, because I'm also a major introvert who is very easily overstimulated and doesn't like a lot of talking, so I overstimulate myself and talk too much, thus annoying myself.

Lately it has been much much worse. I can't focus on anything for more than two minutes, I have to constantly battle to keep my mind on one thing -that takes all my energy so merely keeping my mind on something is all I can do- and I always fidget, pace, hum, tap, can't keep still.

I eat very little processed sugar, definitely have an adequate diet and doubt I have ADHD.

Lately this has been having a more adverse affect on my academics, just when I want to start getting serious about stuff.
Irrelevant to my medical issue: I'm homeschooled so I can't have a school nurse check me out or anything. I have plenty to do but can't focus to do it.

A lot of times when I'm walking on the treadmill I notice my fingers swell and feel tight. Is this something normal or a sign of something else? Is it because my hands are hanging down and all the blood is flowing to them?

I tore the ligament in my right knee/leg and the doctor said I MAY need surgery. I am curious as to know if torn ligaments can heal on their own if the area is not used stretenously for a while, or do you always need surgery to fix this injury?

My knees catch and snap all of the time. It hurts, I need more surgeries, but i wanna ball so bad. I have no tears or anything, but I just have horrible knees with an unknown diagnosis. What should I do? I missed more than half of my Soph season and all junior season, and im missing my senior season as we speak...I want to ball in college and just for fun. I'm good at it, not to be conceided but I know I have massive skills and even more potential. I had colleges looking at me since my sophomore year (when i got my first injury). But now they all are turning me down. I wanna make a massive comeback and try out next year for their teams and show them what I have back after what I've gone through. What's my best bet here?

On saturday I fell on my elbow. It left a red bump but the next day it was gone and it's just my bone that hurts. The pain has lessened, but when I twist my arm, it cracks (but it doesnt hurt). On the outside, there isn't a bruise but when you press on where i fell, it hurt really bad.

Any ideas what is wrong with it? What are the consequences of not going to a doctor? Will the doctor give me a cast if it's just a bad bruise?

My daughter has a high metabolism. She's about 4 ft 1 and 56 pounds. Everything else is fine with her health. I was wondering what I should to to help her gain weight in a healthy way? I don't know where to begin. I don't want to feed her fast food either as that would not be healthy. Thanks in advance for your help.
