My dad was in a car accident a few days ago but doesnt have lawyer money?
He says his neck hurts and it costs 4,000 to get the car fixed and we don't have that money. The airbag stopped him from getting killed. A girl hit my dad real hard on his drivers side and she ran off in her car. My dad was the only one in the car, he was so shook up he didn't get her license plate number. He has insurance and we know nothing about the girl. she drove away when he said he was calling the police. He has witnesses that saw the girl crash into him. The people don't know what the girls name is or where she lives but they know where she hangs out at and they told the police. They did a police report and my dad hasn't got it yet. I don't think he knows what to do about this. We took pictures of the car and he thinks that's all he has to have.We haven't found the girl that hit him and he cant afford a lawyer. He doesn't have $4000 to pay for what the girl did. He thinks he can get a lawyer for free. What is he supposed to do since hes saying his back hurts and the car is wrecked on the side and he cant get a lawyer?

Adviceman had some good points about legal compensation. Let me add a few about payback. This driver is guilty of hit and run involving an injury. This is a felony. If you know the make model and color and the general area, I would go searching with my camera. See, all accidents leave paint evidence on both cars. No doubt her color is on yours and vice versa. Once you obtain that evidence turn it over to the police. The police can do what's called an accident reconstruction. (the police are not going to be so diligent as to take the initial steps) Basically a computer program that reconstructs the accident and compares the damage on the offenders car with the damage to your fathers. If she is the one the damaged areas will match up like puzzle pieces. Then sue that bitch for the camera the time the gas the injury the damage physical/emotional the lost work time and pain and suffering incurred by the whole family.

Hi i'm 17 year old female and I'm pretty active, but recently I discovered that on the lower outside part of my knee there is a bump and its really hard and hurts when I poke it and the rest of my knee hurts when i run and stuff. So i was wondering do you know what that may be? Thanks (link)

The outside of the r. knee hurting and you still being able to walk and run suggests to me that you have avoided the dreaded ACL and MCL ligament damages. That area contains the collateral ligament, which wraps down under the area you are describing. A twisting injury can cause damage to this ligament but, good news. Ligaments are built like rope with lots of independent fibers. Sounds like you have twisted or even severed a few. This would produce the painful bump you described.
-----Rest
The injured knee must be rested to prevent any further injury.
-----Ice
The damaged area must be cooled by using an ice-pack or a packet of frozen peas. The ice must never come directly into contact with the skin or the patient could get frostbite.
A cloth should be placed between the ice and the skin. Ice can be laid on the affected area for up to 20 minutes every hour, but for no longer than three hours in all.
Ice treatment has been known to be effective for up to 24 hours after the injury occurred.
----Compression
An elasticated support bandage is designed for this purpose. The compression must be firm but not so tight that it interferes with the blood circulation.
------Elevation
The leg must be elevated above heart level if possible. It is most comfortable to lie down and elevate the limb with a few pillows. If you are sitting down, the leg can be raised on a chair or a table. This elevation should be maintained as much as possible for a few days.

ok, so you guys might have noticed a lot of questions about tongue piercings on here...and 98% of them were from me.
well, i finally convinced my parents to let me do it! im getting it done this weekend.
BUT there is one catch. i have to pay for it, and i also have to pay for any damage the piercing will do to my teeth O.O
soooo...here are my questions: (bear with me)
A) what could happen to my teeth?
B) how much would it cost to pay for the damages?
C) how would a minor, like myself, pay for this?
D) is there anything i could do to prevent this from happening?
E) when will i be aloud to use restoring mouthwash if i get my tonuge pierced?
to anyone who answers these, thanks. you dont need to answer all of them, just a few would be nice. :) im 16/f btw. (link)

A) Biting your jewelry not just can happen. It will happen. Use acrylic, it will break before your teeth will. Also you get what you pay for. Go somewhere reputable. If they wont let you SEE the needle removed from its sterile medical wrapper, walk out.
B) More than you can pay being young.
C) How do minors pay for anything? Isn't America great?
D) I have had an acrylic piercing for five years now or more. I used Biotene for the first few weeks, and I mean hourly, with it in my back pocket.
After that you can resume whatever dental hygiene you normally use.
Also be prepared to use a longer bar during the healing process. The tongue swells at first and the bar needs to accommodate that thickness. IMPORTANT, after swelling goes down, get fitted immediately with a bar that is right for the thickness of your HEALED tongue. Leaving the original bar will increase chances of biting down on the jewelry.
However I am here to tell you that it is worth it. Something extremely erotic about having a tool on your tongue. Especially when your partner does too.

Stretch marks are like cancer. There is no cure. Do not waste your money on all these expensive crazy stretch mark cures. Only make-up will work. As Hollywood knows all too well. I guess a tan will darken and camouflage them a bit.

Ok. So I am curious to know if there is a way to shave without getting all the little red bumps and redness on the legs and vaginal area. Also, is there a way to slow leg hair growth or to keep legs smooth for more than one day at a time? I rate high for good answers!

Unfortunately nothing exists to slow hair growth that does not kill you. (radiation, cancer) The red bumps mean you are shaving against the grain. All hairs, when lying down will lye in the same direction. Determining which ones lye which way and shaving in that direction reduces the irritation and "bumps" Unfortunately this means becoming a ninja with your razor, so consistently shaving in the same direction each time will "train" these hairs to work with you. And there is always wax. Wax pulls the hair deep, hence they grow back slower, and sometimes not at all.

i jammed my finger playing flag football about 2 weeks ago now. the swelling has gone down a lot and so has the major pain. however, it's still a bit swollen and it hurts a little (not super paintful though, and only when i bend it and stuff like that). how can i get it to go down? is it too late to put ice on it and stuff? and if i don't do anything about it, will it stay swollen like that forever? thanks so much in advance. (link)

I remember a skateboarding incident when I was ohhhhhhh 17? I jammed my thumb so hard it became a sausage. I mean the skin from the end of the nail to the first knuckle looked like a quarter pipe ramp. If its still swollen it is not too late for ice. It will go away. However I do still carry painful little reminders of various injuries, that thumb for example cant make a circle anymore, it just jerks back and forth. Whatever

17/f ((i donno if that helps but whatever ))

Your abdominal cavity is like a cradle of muscle that prevents all the loose organs from falling into your sub-dermal layers below. An appendix, when infected will cause instant and constant pain. I mean constant. The abdomen will also become ridged. The pain occurring when laughing/coughing/sneezing says to me that something is wrong with this cradle of muscle that contains the intestines. When this hammock of tissue is torn or defective it makes sense that diaphragmatic movement (laughing/coughing) stimulates this pain. This is called a hernia. In men, a sever hernia can actually spill intestines into the scrotum making them HUGE and demanding immediate med attention. Women do not have this problem obviously, making a sever hernia harder to determine. I suggest medical attention with an emphasis on your symptoms.

The body had evolved to do one thing, replace itself. The bits necessary to do this for a male need to be outside the body because sperm cannot develop inside where the temperature is too high. This means putting your most important parts in the most vulnerable area. To offset this risk the body has evolved an enormous pain response to any violent stimuli involving the area. ahhhhh Girls. It hurts them to be hit there because of the amount of nerve endings that travel, gather, and come to an end at the clitoris. This is so that sex is pleasant for them, again the Human Race above all else does one thing, replaces itself. If sex were not pleasant for females we would all be in a lot of trouble. (and have much less fun)

Two nights ago I went out wearing new high heels. Halfway through the night they started rubbing on the side of the ball of my foot so I put a piece of tissue in my shoe to stop it hurting so much and tried to ignore it. In the morning, the blister had turned into a horrible sticky open wound and the area around it was all swollen. I thought it would sort itself out so I put a band aid on it and left it but today it's still the same. Everytime the band aid comes off, the wound is still open and full of pus and my foot is still swollen so I can't really walk comfortably.
What should I do? (link)

I used to be a pro snowboarder and we encountered this a lot. We called it Boot-Rot but basically your abrasion needs to dry out. Band-aids and ointments are counterproductive because they keep the wound damp. Do everything you can to expose the area to the wound and use breathe-able band aids when you have to (shoes/work. Air is what will heal this. We used gold-bond foot powder liberally inside an ACE bandage when we had to perform. Perhaps fill a sock with it during sleep?
