Someone told me that they have been designed to chop the toes off cleanly so that they cane be reattached easy.
i have always thought that they were designed to protect the toes from heavy object falling on them. not to chop the toes off.
Anyone have any idea's

3 weeks ago I had my gall bladder removed, which wound up being open surgery. I have a 10 inch cut across the right side of my upper abdomen, stapples just came out last thursday. Today my daughter was in her room and I heard her tv fall and she started screaming. I automatically jumped up out of my chair to run in there to make sure she was okay - I had my feet propped up and I twisted my body to the left without even pushing the stool away, ever since I have been in alot of pain - and is hard for me to move around (this happend about 6 hours or so ago). I was just wondering if it would be possible for my incision to tear open from the inside, not the outside....I can't get ahold of anyone at the hospital to answer my question, so I figured I'd give Yahoo Answers a shot. Also, I have been on LorTab 5/500 for pain, and since my second bottle my feet and hands have been itching like crazy, anyone know what it could be?..Itching just started when I started on bottle 2, not 1..thanks!!!

I was a truck driver and lost my DOT medical as I had no binocular acuity. I went to work for a temp agency and hurt my back they say degenerative disc disease and multipl buldges also left nerve impingement. I applied for a permanent job which will pay more and then found out it entailed heavy lifting frequently as well as on feet ten hours a day. I don't think my body can take it. I need to be able to support my kids and am too proud for welfare. I am currently going to school for an AA degree. I am not afraid of work but my leg aches constantly from the pinched nerve in my back and my feet go numb. I am getting worried. Any suggestions?

Since I was little I have been having chest pains...its like my ribs are overlapping and grinding together...I have to hold my breath and let it out slowly the first time, then get over the pain cause it doesn't go away until I take a deep breath. I told my doctor about it YEARS ago and he didn't do anything about it. It is so annoying and I don't know what to do. Maybe it is my body type? I'm 13 years old, 5'9 and 113 pounds..If anyone knows anything I would really like some answers...

I was recently playing football, and when I tried to catch the football, you jammed right into my finger. Now I do not mean a 'Nerf' ball. I mean a hard, pumped football. It hurts very very bad, and it happened 2 days ago. Is it sprained? Or just in temporary pain? It has swelled out a little less that twice the size of my finger, but I can't tell! I could really use some help. Thanks a lot everyone!

My mother broke her ankle almost 4 weeks ago and has had a cast on. She is due to go into the orthopedic on the 22 of this month. She is not supposed to put any weight on it at all and earlier today she accidently put weight on it and now she is having pain. I guess my question is this... Since she is not having real bad pain is it just because she has spent 4 weeks off of it?? Also what is going to be the next step from the cast??

I have been working out and have always had minor lower back pain but nothing really painfull just when I use my back to lift heavy objects rather than using my legs. But now my back pain has turned into being really painfull. I have a constant throbbing of pain in my lower back and when I sit for long periods of time and then get up it feels stiff and holy s***t is it sore! Also while I am sitting or even standing to stretch my hamstrings and I lean forward I feel deep pain in my lower back as if a knife was goin through it. Now I already have an appointment for a doctors visit but based on what I have said here and going off of your past back pains what does this mostly sound like? It never use to be this bad. I use to be able to move around, run, jump, quick turns but now it just hurts way too bad. Could this be a bad lower back muscle pull or does it sound like something more and worst case maybe needs surgery. All your thoughts are greatly appreciate. Thanks

I recently dislocated my patella - aka kneecap - when I was swinging a baseball bat. Fortunately, I do not appear to have any real ligament damage.
Is there a good device (looking for specific ones if possible) that will help keep my patella in place in the future? It was not a pleasant experience, and I don't want to be fearful of it happening again.
