i have been unable to weight bear for seven weeks now. I have a screw in my ankle and have been told thats why I could not weight-bear. i have a hospital appointment soon and its seven weeks since i broke my ankle. I was wondering if they will take the cast off or leave it on until the screw comes out of my ankle.

When i say "broken" i mean it's slighty bent, i think the bone is broken...

It bends to the right, i can never get a proper ***** it just bends to the right, never straight...

How do i fix this?

Ok. I know SO MANY OF YOU THINK THIS IS SO GROSS. But, I quit smoking and am using "dip" to help. (Wolf STRAIGHT LONG CUT) This is the straight, non flavored, or minty stuff. I think this stuff doesn't have any, or as much sugar and/or the stuff that cuts into your gums or whatever. Do I need to quit this when I get the canker sores or notice other things? I haven't really noticed anything for a while so what is so bad? I have a couple cavities, but that could be from sugary food, my lifetime with no dental. (too much info) thankyou

I broke the bone that connects the pinkey to the wrist. The doctor set it and placed my hand in a plaster cast. I fell and it feels a little weird. I need to know if you could break that bone again while it's in a cast.

For the past week I have been complaining of a burning sensation in my neck. This evening I was rubbing my neck and I found a small lump about midway from my hairline to my shoulder, just off to the side of my spine. It feels like it is on a muscle. When I push it on, it recreates the burning sensation I have been feeling plus it also has some pain but relief with pressure. I had never heard of trigger points before but I was doing some research online to try and find out what this could be and it seems to be the logical explanation. I spend several hours per day at the computer and also have a 14 month old baby that I take primary care of. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

I have extremely dry hands and I also have quite a few cuts on my hands because I use a boxcutter at work that nicks me sometimes. This combonation of cuts and dry wounds makes my hands almost numb. Is this normal?

So about 6 months ago I became constipated after holding a bowel movement in on a camping trip that lasted 2 days. Since then I have been constipated, my hair has been shedding (although nobody but me notices this and think i'm crazy) along with my eyebrows, both of these areas have become incredibly itchy since then.
Some other things that occur: When walking I feel off balanced and sometimes dizzy, I hadn't had any problems with diarrhea the past 6 months until a few days ago, and with it a very painful burning sensation "down there", the burning has been there before in the past 6 months but not everyday, only like once a month. Also, For some reason when I go to bed every night my eyes will burn so bad for about 10 minutes i have to hold them shut and tears pour out of them like a faucet until finally the burning goes away.
I've seen about 3-4 doctors since then and have had mutliple blood tests, x-rays, ultrasounds, stool samples and urine tests done and they say it all looks normal... Anybody have any suggestions?

I am curious to know about headaches. We get pain in our body when we get hurt. But headaches just turn up. What causes this pain? I know there are a lot like loud noise, lack of sleep etc. But why head aches for all that and not heart?

And does sex really helps in curing headaches? How is it related?
