I am going to have open shoulder surgery in May for snapping scapula and need to have scar tissue and/or a bursa removed from the area near my scapula. My doctor has said he want to perform open surgery because he feels this is the best option for my condition.

Some questions:...

1. He said I would need to be out 6 weeks from work.. Have others been out that long? How bad is the recovery?

2. What kind of therapy is given?

3. How much pain should I be expecting? I am soo scared to get this done and need to feel prepared for whatever is going to happen.

Any help is very appreciated!

It does not look like he needs stitches, it just looks like chunk of skin on scalp was removed during sport injury. Now it looks like raw meat showing with slow non-stop bleeding. He seems fine otherwise, has anyone experienced this. He does not want to go to E.R., has no insurance. but I have never seen this with head injuries on my children.

I eat usually less that 1200 calories worth of food each day, and 99% of the time I eat I'm not hungry, but just bored. I'm still gaining weight though! I don't understand! I tried not eating until I got hungry, but I ended up eating only about 300 calories every other day which isn't healthy so I stopped. Right now I weigh about 125lbs

I need to know your opinion. I had an accident at work a few months ago,it was reported. I hurt my heel.I reside in NY and I happen to have excellent healthcare coverage.I am still having major problems with my heel and I need to see a doctor.Im wondering what would be the best way to file this claim? Workmens compensation or simply use my health coverage? Please tell me the pros and cons of using either,I am concerned that I may need a surgery and will lose too much money not being in work.

My girlfriend thought it would be fun to give me a hickey last night while I was sleeping after me repeatedly telling her not too. I work in a very professional building and things of this nature are not allowed. I would just wear a turtleneck, but we aren't allowed too. Please help.

Yet i know i had both a yeast/and urinary tract infection at the time. Does all blood tests catch all infections? or do they just do a test on one or two?

I'm on my high school track team and run about 42 miles a week. Lately my achilles tendons have been hurting me. I would feel OK if they where just sore but they pop when I try to run on my toes. I'd be OK if they where just sore but they hurt after strenuous runs and I can't imagine this popping is a good thing. I plan on taking an ice bath tonight which should help some, but any advice would be opreciated.
