Recently, I was wearing a strong magnetic earing, which caused some of my skin to peel off and turn flaky and a bit scabby. I removed this and had a slight dent in my ear lobe. Now, I have left it alone and a new scab is forming which I haven't touched. Should this now not leave a scar?

i.e. one where you don't have to lift, bend, sit or stand for extended periods of time, etc.

no idea what kind of work would work best.

I did OpenVMS (old computer system) system administration in the past, but now that system is completely obsolete. I earned a Project Manager certification (PMP) since... I haven't worked in 5 years, I've been on disability.

I fractured my tibia (the side of my shin). I was going to get a cast but the doctor said the cast really weakens your muscles so it's better to wear this type of removable cast boot. He said to wear it all the time, except for when taking showers and changing, and that is what I've been doing. I took it off a few times yesterday and I noticed that my ankle is swollen. When i press on it and move it, my ankle doesn't hurt. There is no discoloration or anything, it's just swollen. Does anybody have any idea why this is? Is there any way to bring the swelling down?

I had a helix piercing about two months ago or so that unfortunatly got infected. I took the thing out to let it heal and now the hole is closed. I liked the way it looked and would like to get it redone but i was told by a friend that it takes quite a while for the infection to completely go away. Is this true and should i wait a while longer or would all the damage be healed by now?
Also if it makes a difference i was on anti-biotics for a few days by doctors orders. He told me i could put the piercing back in after a couple days but i left it out anyways.

This has been going on for over a year. Sometimes I am fine, other times I feel terrible. I get head congestion, ear aches and a terrible cough. It's like i have the flu, then not. I am not stressed at all. Blood pressure is normal.

I went to the doctor for the flu, got some penicllin and that didn't seem to help much. Eventually, the flu symptoms dissappeared somewhat. They return on and off.

PLEASE, help!!!

I am having pain even when I am not lifting weights but I don't want to stop lifting weights and lose any muscle since my shoulders are the most defined part of my upper body. Do I have to lay off or will I risk more serious injury if I keep pushing through the pain.

My hamstring has been hurting me for months now, I can't squat or backpedal without a slight pain. I need to know what to do in this situation. It's probably to late to use the RICE method, so any help will be greatly appreciated. Our football season is over, so I have time. "Westgate Football, New Iberia, Louisiana"

hi all,
i was just wondering whether muscle wastage around the bicep and tricep can ever be repaired, i injured it last year via my c6 spine and also damaged the nerves going towards my left side, i have noticed te left damaged side seems to be quite smaller then my normal arm aswell as i have lost strength.
i am considering swimming and small weights/more reps to build strength and a stronger foundation but wondered if my arm would regain its size and strength like before. any info would be appreciated. thanks

Basically for the past two months i have had really bad pain in my heel whenever i walk, at first i thought it could be bone spurs or plantar fasciitis, but symptoms of those state that i have pain in my heel in the morning or after rest.
I dont have this i only get pain in my hells when i walk or run, but the pain is at its worst when i wear any form of shoes even trainers. It hurts when i touch the area (which is my heel, to be direct about an inch from the sole of my foot)
Could anyone help me and tell me what i could possibly have, and what i could do to get rid of this pain.

i landed mid-shin on the corner of a ledge i was trying to get up onto. I could hardly walk on it, but i had batting practice and i had to run on it a little before i collapsed. It swelled immediately and has a horrible bruise (it looks like i grew another knee). I still can't walk on the leg without pain shooting through me. is this a severe bone bruise or worse? i do not want to go to the ER for a few more days so I can see if the swelling goes down after a while since I just had to go for x-rays on my foot and knees

suddenly the phone rang and I was startled. I accidentally jabbed it in my ear. Not too far but it kind of hurt a little bit. Then the inside of my ear was all wet, but there wasn't any blood or anything. That was yesterday and I can still hear and all that. My friend told me that it was probably just sweat cause I got scared, and if I really hurt my ear bad, I would already be deaf. And I think he knows 'cause his mom works in the accounting department at a big hospital. But when I was listening to Linkin Park on my I-Pod tonight and when they did that guitar thing that goes like "Vam vam VAM VAMM!!!!" that one ear sort of hurt and is rining a bit. But I can still hear pretty much ok. So first question what was all that wet stuff - was it really sweat? And second question is - is my ear ok? Or do I need a hearing aid?
