How do you get off that surgery goop they put on you to clean the area? I had surgery on my hand and that stuff is all in my fingernails. I can't fully wash my hands due to stiches and I've tried hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol, soap, lotion...it's all in my fingernails, cuticles...

I banged my little toe this morning, and it has doubled in size! I doubt if it is worth going to the hospital as I hear you cant do anything for broken toes. How can I get the swelling down? It hurts when I wear shoes.

My hypnotist told me because I am taking antidepressant and antianxiety medication that whatever improvments we achieve in our sessions will sieze to be whenever I quit the meds. She said that if I were to then later start them again, the progress would again be evident too. Is this true? Does this mean it would be better to just quit the meds before continuing with the sessions? Also, if you fall asleep during hypnosis, is it less effective?
thanks

Why is it that when people cut their finger or burn their hand, they grab the afflicted limbs wrist with the other hand and shriek and hop/dance in a little circle? Is this instinct? Does it help to jump around in a little circle? Is it that when you had a bug biting you, maybe it would shake it off? I am so confused.

I can hardly sweat at all. I know that from a social perspective that is seen as a good thing, but from a health perspective it is NOT!
How can I increase my bodies ability to sweat?????

As I'm an electrician my job is very physical, it I'm bent over for a short period of time my back aches very quickly. If I continue this activity for a long period of time, I have trouble walking and my general movement is restricted. At this point I can't go to work fulltime. Will this every change? I'm stretching and strengthening but it doesn't seem to get better.

I've noticed my eyes weren't at their peak so a year ago I went to the optometrist who said one of my eyes was a bit nearsighted but not needing corrective lenses.

I can still see fairly well, but not as sharply long distance wise...so how can I prevent my eyes from getting worse & needing glasses or contacts?

Okay, I sprained my ankle on Jan. 28. It got REALLY swollen and REALLY black & blue. I kept it elevated and put ice on it and then went to the Doc. on Jan. 30. They took an x-ray, no break, just really bad sprain. Well it is now Feb. 1 i'm not in much pain any more and the swelling has gone down alot, but the bruising is still horrible and i'm thinking there is excess fluid also keeping it kind of "puffy". What should I do to get the rest of the swelling down and encourage the blood (from the bruising) and fluid to be re-absorbed???

I would like to hear of different ways/tips people have had to give up smoking. Anything from patches to hypnotherapy is good.
Also tell me things that didnt work please.

I think I was 12 when I broke my foot playing soccer.

Then I have never cried, even for really hard pain, like kidney stones or bad sprains.

I think that our pain tolerance increases during the years and we learn how to cope with pain.

How about you?
