Ok my friend for some reason wants to break her arm. But she needs an easy, fast way to do that. And she also wants to know if it hurts. And give a detail. Like does it hurt just like breaking your pinky toe or what???

It's been over a year since I've quit smoking...I was a regular smoker. Half a pack a day..or more if I drank...and even now after a year that I have quit I still crave a cigarrettes especially when I'm stressed..I know it's just a mind thing..will it ever go away?? It's like the strongest urge...and I hate it...I thought after a whole year I wouldn't have any cravings for them..

Hello, I am about to try this home remedy for acne. I heard that when you add warm water to a few asprin pills and make a paste out of it and leave it on your face like a mask it will stop inflamation on the skin helping to prevent and treat pimples. Have you tried it or known somebody else who has tried it? Did it work??

Hi I've been having chronic neck pain for quite a while maybe 2-3 months and it is on and off weekly. It is specifically on my left side on the back of the head. also other surrounding places. I'm 18 so it seems it's not "just getting old". My doctor told me to take 600mg Ibuprofen every meal for 5 days to see if it was an inflamatory problem. i only did it for three because i kept forgetting, but it didn't help. Can anyone help?

I was Squatting last Wednesday for the first time in a while and felt a slight pop in my inner thigh but though it was nothing too serious. Since then I have felt tenderness and a bruise type feeling. It is killing me to walk but I when I run it's not as bad. Any Diagnosis? What should i do to fix it. It never swelled up and there is no bruise there. I know for sure its a muscle injury.

Five years ago I had breast reduction surgery and have had pain on my left side under my breast ever since. At first it was quite severe and my primary care physician said it was " just nerve damage not to worry it will go away". Now five years later it is still there but not as severe. However, when I do anything that involves really using that muscle ; I get sharp pains across my chest and cannot use my arm or the pain is too great. It's affecting my ability to perform my job and I have to do something.

The veins won't stick out except one does on my foot. Thats perhaps because I am a little overweight. I have been excersising for the past two weeks (90 minutes daily). Is this why my veins are showing?

Hi.
I've had an ingrown hair on my bikini line for like 5 months. I popped it out, and tweezed the hair, and it healed. Now, it looks like a bump with a brownish scar and I feel there's still something to be popped in there, it's been like that for three months. I've been squeezing it for two months like every week but I can't see any hair in.
Any ideas what it is and how to get rid of it?

I dislocated my shoulder a few years ago. When it happened, I was able to pop it back in myself (I don't think it came completely out of the socket) I went to the doctor afterwards and was told that I have "loose joints". He told me that some excersises could help keep it from happening again. I kind of forgot about it until yesterday when it popped back out with only a very minor jarring. I almost passed out it hurt so bad!
Is anyone familiar with this? Does anyone know any excersises that may help? I also dislocated my knee once (tore my acl and miniscus) so I could use exercises for that area as well. I know, I need to go to the doc again. I will too, but in the meantime.....
