My son who is 14 is a keen runner for the local Athletic club, he keeps getting knee problems. We have checked to make sure he has the correct supportive trainers etc. Someone told me to try Glucosamine, Chondroitin as this is for this type of injury, has anyone had such problems and taken this which worked?

VERY SERIOUS QUESTION...only serious answers requested......................................................................

If you had a crooked or weak tree growing on your land, would you cut it down, or brace it up with wires?

Thank you.

i recently was at a beach party and accidently stepped on some hot embers from a fire that had been put out earlier, they didnt look hot but believe me they were... i had my sandal on when i did.. but now the inside of my foot has large blisters and covers about 3 inches between my toes and my heel.. only one of the blisters is open but it is all red around them.. can i put peroxide on them to make sure they stay clean.???.

i poured a great deal of cold(not ice cold) water on them before but i now i soak it and put some burn cream and gauze over it before i go out anywhere... am i doing the right thing?

I just found a baby bluejay under my bed this morning. It has been wounded by my cat. It has a cut on its neck (not very bad) and another really bad rip in its side behind its wing. My dad told me to put it outside but whenever I do it screams in pain and puts its head up like I need to feed it. Rite now I am holding it in a latex glove raped in a blanket. It is sleeping but I think it gonna die soon.

What should we pack with us in our hospital suitcase? Also, he is a fairly heavy smoker. He wants to quit, and we have ordered an herbal remedy to help him quit that is supposed to arrive the same day as the surgery. He is going to wake up from surgery feinding for a ciggarette, but I don't think it will be wise for him to get up, go outside and smoke, especially since he is trying to quit b/c his back won't heal well if he is still smoking (as the physical therapist has told us). He hates the patch (has used it before and we have some left), but should I bring it with us to the hospital and (with Dr.'s approval, of course), slap it on him before he wakes up? Or maybe when he wakes up?

This monday I had a blood clot removed from my tongue. It was about the size of a pen tip. The swelling has only gone down a little bit so far. How long does it normally take? I cannot talk or eat because it is so swollen. I am also leaving town on sunday to go to camp. Will it be gone by then? Do you have any remidies?
Any of advice is welcome. Thank you very much.

My knee has been hurting me for about three weeks now. I first noticed it when I was playing in a softball game and I slid into second base. The next day it hurt very bad. And every day it has been painful. We tried iceing it and heating it and we treid a knee brace but none of those seem to work. My parents tell me every day oh you'll be fine, or it'll feel beter tommorow but it never does. Do you have any idea what i did to it? what do you think I should do. Finally should I use something to support it. Thanks for your help!
I AM 11
There is tenderness when I prees it and I can't bend it all that far. It hurts when I run and my parents still make me play ball on it.

This isn't a question, just a comment from an earlier closed question. WHAT?? Since when is a needle 'still' in the i.v. cannula as portrayed in one of the answers? I shrill at the amount of people who think they know everything about the medical profession. The second answer was just as laughable. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't ask the nurse to take a perfectly viable i.v. out (one that you ALREADY took the pain to get) just to be more mobile. Lets face it, you aren't going to be doing cartwheels while recieving your dose of meds/fluids, right? It is OK to bend your elbow, there isn't a needle in your arm, rather it is a flexible tube so you CAN bend it. The blood in the i.v. will eventually be flushed back, dpending on the rate of your infusion. Thanks, have a nice day.

The doctor says I might need an MRI. I just want to know what can be seen in an MRI that might be why it hurts so much.
