I had a bad case of the rectum itch for the last two weeks. Now, the problem has been solved, but I can't get the smell off of my fingers. This is no joke. I'm a fruit server at denny's and I know this will get me fired.

Does that mean that he/she is dead? My friend is crying because a guy she used to work with is in th hospital & on life support. & how long if you're on life support before you actually die? & if you ARE already dead if you're on life support, why is there such thing? Why can't they just let you die? & not suffer anymore.

This man looked very skinny & was walking wobbly & couldn't keep his balance. I know he drinks a lot & has liver problems. & also he's a heavy smoker. Should we say farewell & RIP already? He's a very mean-spirited guy, but I will miss him.

I had a lacrosse tournament this past weekend (saturday and sunday)and i did a lot of running. I also did Parisi friday and that was really intense. I also started suffering from leg cramps (charlie horse) on saturday and one on sunday. My muscle is extremely tight and it hurts. I tried stretching out for a good 30 minutes and i didnt get anywhere. I also have been sitting on a couch for the last 4 hours trying to rest my legs. But its hard to walk and it hurts too. Can somebody please help me!?!?!?!?

For two weeks, anytime I flex my toes, put on shoes and specifically lift my leg to put on pants, I get a weird tingling, sharp pain sensation in the joint of my left toes. What could cause this? (I have also been experiencing really weird issues with my feet, off and on, from the heel to the whole foot for the past year.

I fell through a roof 10 years ago, but nothing appeared to be wrong. I have had X-rays and the only thing shown is that my sciatica is 70% crushed by a vertebrae in my low back.

I still hike, play ball, work, etc....but my feet are alwys hurting, especially in the mornings and anytime I have sat for a while.

Any info would be helpful, as I have been to chiropractors, had MRI's, etc....massage is the only thing that keeps me at an even keel, but only if I go every week for 1 1/2 hour sessions.

Thanks!

The pain is on the back of my right heel. When it bothers me my heel on the back feels bruised. It also looks like there could be some inflamation there. I hurt my achilles tendon hiking about 9 months ago and felt like it healed but just recently it started bothering me again. I am just wondering if it could be because of the earlier injury or something different.

For about the past year or so this has been occurring but the past 3 days its almost every 5 minutes. Right above the waistline in my left abdominal area (around where your forearm hangs in a standing position) Its very hard to describe but it feels like there is gas and it starts to make very quiet popping noises and it feels like someone is thumping me there from the inside. Its not painful at all but VERY annoying as sometimes its very audible. The only way I can explain what its like is that its like a mini whoopee cusion in my left abdominal area that someone sits on at random times. HELP.... should I be worried that its happening more often?

The T-12 vertebrae in my spine is 20 percent decompressed. . .aka....fractured. I was just wondering if that can be treated. My Doc said there was really nothing they could do, that I had to live with the pain. is that true?

I am having arthroscopic knee surgery. According to the MRI, I have a "grade 3 rupture" in the inner side meniscus. Is it possible to go home the same day, or is it necessary to spend a day or two in the hospital? I really don't want to spend even one night in the hospital. I would feel much, much better at home.

If the hospital stay is for legal reasons (such as lawsuit if patient gets worse or dies of complications), can I sign a waiver to let me leave the hospital?

My choice of anesthesia is general (gas) or spinal injection to numb the leg. I am opting for the injection because general anesthesia makes me uncontrollably nervous afterwards, and it's torture just sitting still.

How long after surgery are you typically allowed to start walking? How much pain should I expect afterwards? Any recommendations?

i just turned 14 amd i am male. In christmas, my dad bought me basketball shoes that were size 8 1/2. I was only 13 1/2 and the top of the shoe had a half an inch distance between my toe. So i kept using that shoe until my feet grew 2 months later. my toe reached the end of the shoe but i kept wearing them. So my feet kept growing (i think) and it kinda felt tight but then it stop anoying me. In july, i realized that i was developing hammer toes, so i have been developing hammer toes for 4 months when the shoe stop fitting me. but it is not that severe cuz they are not curved enough and they can straighten very easily.

My q's are:
1. Is it true that if ur feet stop growing, ur whole body will stop growing too?
2. will hammer toes stop my feet from growing?
3. will i grow in height and in foot length?
4. what is the treatment for hammer toes?
5. will my toes straighten naturaly?
6. will i be ok?

I hate misquitos biting me and i think its because of the fat on my legs that make them attract towards me because my arms are never bitten. Is this right or is there another reason. and is there a way to be rid of them because i do not like the sprays
