I have a partial PCL tear in my right knee as well as some partal tearing of the MCL complex from a fall off of one of my horses. I have seen a ortho doc who is pushing me for rehab over surgery. The athletic trainer I have been seeing in rehab says that the PCL doesn't heal well and the next time I get thrown I could end up blowing out my entire knee. I should also mention that I ride and train horses for a living so getting thrown isn't a question of if, more of a question of when. Do I take the 6 months off now and get it fixed or do I go the rehab route and hope for the best.

I'm doing some research for a novel and i thought i'd give this a try. My question is, as mentioned, to the fatality of getting stabbed. Where would the most fatal place to be stabbed? Obviously the heart, but lets face it, thats terribly cliche. My original thought was for the character to be stabbed in the stomache until i realized that that would would not cause a quick enough death, since being stabbed in the stomache would leave you alive for several hours bleeding profusely.

Essentially, my question is two questions.

Where is the best place to get stabbed in terms of fatality?

and

How long would it take to die after being stabbed in a major location? (stomache, neck,chest, face, etc.)

Thanks to anyone who can help.

On Friday evening my 2 year old who has trouble running because of toes pointing inward hit her head on the deck stairs after falling. She hit the middle of her forehead. There is a tiny cut, and the top of her nose was swollen between her eyebrows. Sunday afternoon I noticed her eyes were turning black. Today they have been getting blacker. She seems fine but has been lying down and complaining of an Owey on her head, she has also been pointing to her eyes. She isn't eating much either. Has anyone seen similar symtoms. My family thinks I am very overprotective, they think I bring my children to the doctor for everything so I am hesitant to bring her.

I was cutting out foam pieces with craft scissors for about two hours the other day, and ever since then, my thumb has been stiff, tingly, and occasionally numb. It feels like I did something to it, but I have no idea what it could be.

The bone in my right arm connecting my shoulder to my tricep has been hurt for about a week since I helped move some heavy furniture. I don't wanna keep taking pain pills. Besides protein and drinking milk, what can I do / eat to help them get back healed and strong?

I have a water blister on my foot and I am debating whether or not to pop it. I exercise regularly and am just wondering if it will be more comfortable to pop it and put on neosporin and a bandage or to just leave it and possible put on a bandage. Also, which one is better for you...to pop or not to pop?

Plastercast was removed on Mon 19 June, but now - the following Monday - I am still unable to move my arm, even the very basic exercises the consultant asked me to do. I believe it is down to these bone fragments (I was so worried about my condition I had A&E take an X-ray on Friday 23 June, which revealed the bone fragments)

I have recently sprained my ankle for the 5th time in the last 12 years. I have always had weak ankles and they have rolled easily. This last time was just playing soccer and I jumped up and when I landed it rolled, nothing was under my foot, it just gave out. I went to the doctor right after and he said it was a high ankle sprain, but he could see all the previous chips in my bones from previous injuries. He also stated one of these is quite large behind my achilies tendon. It has now been a week and the brusing I have gotten is amazing. I have never had so much brusing, and it is mainly above the round thing on my ankle, about 3 inches above it, and below it along the base of my foot. All the times previous this I never got any sort of bruising. Should I be worried about this? The talk of surgeroy has also been mentioned: 1 to remove the large chip from one of the previous injuries, 2 to tighten my tendons to prevent future injuries. Please advise on what u think of this.

I went for a blood test the other day. The nurse was trying to find my vein at the joint of my left arm (using a syringe). I dont really know what she did as i wasnt looking (maybe that was a bad idea), but i suddenly felt what can be described as "pin and needles" across my left arm. She asked me if i was in pain, then proceed to draw blood from my right arm instead. Initially there wasnt a problem, but after 2 days whenever I move my left arm it feels like blood is being forced through my vein. Also my left arm is "colder" than my right arm!?!?? Is this due to blood being blocked from my arm?? Or did she injected me with some air bubbles instead???

Thanks
