I have a broken ankle and I've been using the regular crutches for several months, but I bought some forearm crutches in the thrift store. They're much better. I wish I'd discovered them earlier, rather than now when I'm almost off crutches.

Last night, I went to bed at 10:30 and couldn't sleep. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep, but nothing ever happened. I just watched the clock tick on and on for 7 hours until I had to get up at 5:30 for school, which I was too tired to go to and I stayed home sick. I stayed in bed until 8:00 but still couldn't sleep!!! Do you know what's wrong with me? What should I do?

It was actually a lap top that fell on my head (I know.... Don't ask how!!) and hit the front side of my head by my ear.

does having stools that aren't totally solid cause concern?? Coffee/tea causes it mostly or when I'm nervous/excited about something...which is a lot of the time!

It's not diarrectic (or however it's spelt)...

My MRI says i have a S.L.A.P. tear in my shoulder as well as a bone spur that seems to be fraying the supraspinatus tendon. however my doctor doesn't think that either one of those is right. is it common for MRI report results to be wrong???

I was sprinting and I had this sudden pain and pull at the front of my upper thigh. I believe it's called the quadriceps. I also got Delayed onset muscle soreness a few days after that.

I recovered from DOMS about almost 2 weeks later, but my quadricep is still not well yet, it's almost 3 weeks now. When I run or jog slowly, it won't hurt. But wen I stretch my leg (slowly) by pulling my feet up towards my back, my quadriceps hurt.

I will be having a selection in about 13 hours from now. Do you have any good suggestions that I can make it thru this screening session? I will need to sprint as fast as I can, which will hurt my quad, and slow me down alot.

Also, even if I get thru this screening, I will be entering competition early next month. Any chance for my thigh to reciver completely by then? or should I just give up?

Any methods to allow it to heal faster? Or for tomorrow, how do I make sure they don't hurt, or work well?

My mother went to the hospital the other day due to not feeling well. She was really dizzy, nauseas, vomiting. They tested her blood sugar, O2 stats, she had an EKG, they tested sodium and did blood work. The only thing they came up with is that her blood sugar was almost 300. The doctor put her on some pills to bring it down but over 24 hours later she is still feeling ill and tired. She doesn't think it was the blood sugar but all the tests were fine. She also was on a blood pressure cuff for 3 hrs and they said it was fine. I can't think of anything that they didn't test for that it could be other than a nasty strain of the flu. She can't be pregnant since she doesn't have those parts anymore.

I had a fracture on my cunieform bone of the first toe and that has healed (according to the xray). But I had a couple of bones floating around near the navicular bone that they removed. But my toe still hurts. So I went back to the doctor and he said it is capsulities. So okay he gave me Reflan for a month - still have pain but not as bad with the medicine. My toe still hurts with pain radiating up - and when I walk - everyonce in awhile it will just give me a stabbing pain and I can't put weight on it. Can you still have a fracture after it healed?
