What are the pre-op tests I will be sent for?
When sedated with a general will a tube be put down my throat?
Are you catherized?
Do they shave your leg or do you do it prior to checking in?

Is it still possible to lift around it, as I just had hand surgery for a broken medacarpul in February and just started working out again. Please let me know. Thank you.

I heard that repeatedly, over a period of time, fiddling with/pinching/touching the end part of the nose, which is made of cartilage, stimulates the soft tissue and causes an increase in growth ie. touching the end of your nose a lot causes the cartiligious part to change shape. Is this true? I've heard of the nose always growing slightly throughout life but does touching it a lot/fiddling with it accelarate this growth process or not at all? Basically, if you keep messing with the buttony bit of the nose a lot does it alter its shape & size/positioning etc. Any med people out there?

I was at a fundraiser yesterday and I was running I tried to jump over this chain which was I swear no more than 6 inches off the ground I had made this jump several times before but for some reason I didn't make the jump this time and I fell. I landed on my knees. one knee cap just got really scraped up, the other one I landed on it funny and it really hurt. I heard it pop and i could still walk on it and i can still walk on it but if I turn around i feel a pop and it hurts. I can't bend it that well without feeling it pop and it hurting and if i try to stop real fast I feel a pop and pain can any one tell me what might have happened. It doesn't hurt when I stand on it or walk but I don't know... should i see a doctor? I don't want to be taken off the sailing team which might happen if I see a doctor. Can anyone help me? Please

I broke my ankle and tore 2 ligaments one week ago. Went to initial doc, and he put on a stiff padded boot and reccomended I see an osteopath in a few days. I have no insurance, and osteopath wanted 200 up front before he would see me, sooo I never went. Keeping the boot on, walking on crutches, being very careful, when can I start trying to walk on it again, with the boot???? Relying on the crutches really is wearing me out! And no, I didnt need surgery.

For the past few months I've been getting a really sharp pain down my left shoulder blade. At first I thought It was muscular but when Its massaged and rubbed the pain goes really deep and sharp. I've been taking paracetamol but that doesn't work. Could it be a trapped nerve?

Think it could be a Repetative Strain Injury picked up from work.

Ok, The top left side of my thigh hurts. I was pregnant. I thought maybe it was just because i was always sleeping on my left side. It started hurting bad at the end of my pregnancy. And It's been two months since i had my baby and the pain is still there. I havent slept on my left side for two months. Why wont the pain go away. Also it's weird. If i touch it very lightly i can't feel anything. but if i touch my right thigh lightly i can feel it. so it's like my left thigh is numb. but if i touch it a little harder there is this sharp pain. Should i seek doctor help? what could this be?

My mom watched a program about horse tendons used for repair in human rotator cuff injuries. She wants more info but I can't find anything on the web about it. Did anyone see the program or have any info about this? Thanks!

I'm researching for a book and can't seem to find an answer online. One of my characters is recovering from an injury during which the inner edge of her radius is chipped by a bullet. A nurse told me this would be treated in a similar way to a fracture (once the bullet is removed, of course). For continuity purposes, I want to know how long she'd be wearing the cast for, and if it would be a short hand-to-elbow cast as for a broken wrist. Thanks!

Okay so about at the beginning of the year..actually i cant remember exactly when but anyways i was at a basketball camp and i fell on my knee pretty hard and before then it hadnt given me much problems. about 3 hours later we were just finishing test driving a car when i noticed my knee had swelled up and it looked like there was a baseball under my skin it was really high. so my mom took me to the emergency room and once we got into the place they took xrays and applied ice and just said i had blood/water under my knee (i cant remember exactly which) well ever since then while participating in ANY activity gives me great pain in that knee (actually more recently its gotten worse) i also feel at least 2 "chunks" of bone on my knee cap and i can move them around (at least i think its bone) they are about the size of a BB maybe smaller but i am wondering is this causing my knee pain? what can they do to fix this? can they fix this? should i see my doctor?

Thank you so much
