This story is set in the early Victorian era.
Jane causes her sister, Anne, to have an accident during their horse ride. Anne, from her head injury, becomes blind (Or should I make her crippled?) And so Jane feels guilty and so spends the rest of her life feeling guilty and trying to make up for that guilt by always helping out her sister. Of course, this isn't the entire plot, but just the overview of it in order to ask whether Anne should get blind or crippled. The problem with making her a crippled person is that I don't know how one is to tend to crippled people. I tried to research about it, but the information is difficult to find

When the knee cap came out of place, it stretched tissue on the side of the knee cap. I did a month of physical therapy. A few months after physical therapy, I began having problems with my knee so I went back to therapy & this time put a little more effort into it & stopped compensating for the injured knee. The knee was getting better & then it reached a certain point where it just stopped & I now have this uncomfortable clicking/grinding kind of sound in my knee.

My 1st doctor was against surgery & I felt like I would never go back to my old self so I went for a 2nd opinion from another doctor. He ordered more MRIs & said everything looked fine but I don't feel fine. So he suggested a surgery where he would see if there is any cracked cartilage(MRIs don't show cartilage) and he would smooth it out and that would stop the clicking sound. Every story I hear about knee injuries & surgeries it's as if you never FULLY recover from it and I'm 18 years old. I want my old knee back.

I hit my left temple with a door on accident, roughly 2, 2 1/2 months ago. I had a large bump there, it's only a bit smaller now but it wont go away. I've had loss of appetite, awkward sleepiness, random headaches (not as in nerves but just random shots of pain), and cringing .. if you know what that is, like my ears cringe and so on so forth.

I am going to get a checkup tommorow but my doctor never believes me. I just hope she'll take me seriously. What do you think it is?

A couple of years ago I had a very bad case of shingles all across my shoulder and neck,fortunately it healed without scarring however I have never regained the feeling in that area.I know shingles attack the nerves so I assume they must have been damaged.Is there any treatment for this or is it just something i'll have to accept?

I got a fractured left leg bone(the leg I use to jump) a week ago, I had a cast and stayed at home since then. I need to stay with the cast for about 6 weeks.
I m really concerned about whether I can get back to the game of bball or soccer, and play as what I used to play. How long does it take to recover from it.

all answers are appreciated !

Does anyone have stretches or SOMETHING that will help with the pain I am experiencing with this foot problem. I already use custom insoles and a brace/boot to sleep in that keeps my foot in a neutral position. The pain is in the arch and heel, I want to stay away from surgery.

Last year my husband was in a car accident and fractured his C4 vertebrae & suffered some nerve damage. thanx to a great neurosurgeon, outstanding physical therapist and the grace of God he is walking and moving about. he was also supposed to be paralyzed but isnt. can this affect ur sexual interaction? he says that he loses interest about after a minute even if he watches anything with sexual content in it. yet he does get an erection he also says that he is alot less sensitive in that area including his testes and doesnt have much of a sensation. his dr prescribed him with viagra but doesnt have an interest in having intercourse. i told him it would be easier to try this method to see if there was something other than it being just mental. then we could bring it to the attention of his urologist. any idea if this is just his subconscience as he may still be affected by the trauma or can it really be due to the spinal injury, thinking to himself that he may not be able to perform? TY

I hurt the ball of my left foot 3 wks ago so I've been limpin around to keep the weight off of it. Last week, I slipped on the ice after my foot doctor appointment, with my bum foot (because limping is hard to do on ice!!) & I now noticed the toe next to my pinky is purple/red, swollen, & there is a large hard lump on the left side of it. It will NOT bend and when I move it around I get instant tears, however I can still walk and limp around. I see the Doc again on Fri, until then- is it broken? What should I do? Help!!

Well this morning the moment I got up I was unable to walk on my leg. The pain came from the back of my knee and was also on the bottom/ front. Do you think that when I slept I was in a weird position? Do you think it is badly injured? I was sleeping on my stomach... What should I do? Should I wait a while since it just happened today? What else can I do? Right now I am resting it and I wrapped it which seems to help when I rest. Though I can truley not walk up or down the stairs because of the pain.... What is this secret pain? What should be my next step? Is it serious?
