When will NYC have it's next big EARTHQUAKE?
Posted Wednesday April 21 2010, 5:58 pm
Five years ago i saw a documentary on NYC and it's faults. it said 95 years ago there was world's worst earthquake that killed millions because they weren't expecting it & all of the skyscrapers collapsed. My Choir is going on a broadway trip to see a broadway show in nyc, and i am VERY scared that tehre will be an earthquake because it has now been exactly 100 years since the last major EARTHQUAKE. soo idk if it was true, but i heard that they were expecting such a big Earthquake thatt it will effect pensylvania and more than half of the east coast. Because of Haiti, Chile, iceland, norway, The volcano etc i'm scared that there will be an earthquake the day we go to nyc help asap.

Scoliosis/Spinal Surgery
Posted Saturday April 17 2010, 6:38 pm
Hi :) I've had scoliosis since I was in 7th grade. I'm a junior in high school now. I was braced for a good 2 years and it ended up failing. My scoliosis is is about 37-40 degrees and my regular doctor was saying how I should get spinal surgery to correct it so I wouldn't have long-term disadvantages when I age. Of course that is something I do not want at all, disadvantages, that is.
I'm not exactly for the surgery, but I don't want to live my life in pain and difficulty. It's about a 4-8 hour procedure (if I remember correctly) and a 6 week recovery and typically very successful. My doctor is the man who corrected Gloria Estefan's back injury when she got into a bus crash, and I know he's very very good at his job. I'm jus...

How to prevent getting a raw nose during a cold or allergy season?
Posted Wednesday March 24 2010, 10:56 pm
I have really bad allergies in the spring when trees and plants bloom out. I take allergy medicine but I still get a stupid runny nose sometimes. I use a lot of kleenex tissues but my nose seems to get a little raw feeling after awhile. Is there a way to prevent this and stop it from happening or heal it up really fast?

Ways to reduce foot/ankle swelling and pain or discomfort after work?
Posted Wednesday March 24 2010, 10:55 pm
I do a job where I stand on my feet all day long. I've bought different shoes before and they seem to help reduce the soreness a little bit but my feet still swell a little bit and are achy. I don't like having tired legs and feet so I thought maybe somebody had some tips on how to reduce these problems or even prevent them.

Self Injurer and I seriously want to stop, but how?
Posted Wednesday March 24 2010, 3:58 am
I am 13 years old and a self injurer and I have a story. My parents divorced when I was just little, and I have blamed myself for it always. Last year when my paternal grandfather passed away no one told me about it until way after it had happened, and even then I first learned from a newspaper. I wasn't invited to the funeral or viewing. I am always made fun of at school, and I have a lot of trouble at home. We recently lost our house and moved into an apartment in the middle of the city. We were used to life more in the country, so the whole experience is extremely foreign to me. Neither of my parents wants me, but I live with my mother, half-sister, and sister. My mother and sister constantly tell me that they want me dead. I ge...

First Cold Sore
Posted Friday March 19 2010, 11:37 pm
I got a cold sore for the first time last Friday. I'm not sure how I got it, but Friday was also that time of month. I'm not sexually active at all.
It started out being a tiny round blister-looking thing at the corner of my lip and I didn't know it was a cold sore at first. It wasn't noticeable when I closed my lips. Then I guess it was a cold sore, it got a little better (started scabbing) and then it got worse and spread to more than a little round thing. It's now like 1 cm wide on the corner of my lip and visible when I close my lips. It started crusting/scabbing, so I'm assuming that's a sign of it getting better?
Is there a way to help it heal faster or anything I should avoid? I've been putting chapstick...

VERY thin skin on belly button piercing
Posted Friday March 5 2010, 3:18 pm
Here's a picture of my belly button piercing..
(Ignore the lines on my stomach, I just had the heating pad on it haha)
http://tinypic.com/r/orqrlx/6
I got it pierced in June and I put a new ring in it and I'm pretty sure my skin was rejecting the piercing because of the type of metal the ring was. Now the skin over the piercing is very thin. I'm wondering if I should take the piercing out, let it heal, and get it repierced. And if so, how long will that process take?
I need advice on this ASAP because I don't want my skin to rip.
Thanks so much! :)

Red Belly Button Piercing
Posted Friday March 5 2010, 9:41 am
I got my belly button pierced in June 2009. Ever since I got it pierced it's been pretty red. It doesn't ooze or have pus or, so I know it's not infected. It's also not painful at all. I just want to know if there is a way to make the redness go away? I do clean it daily with antispectic, but I noticed that when I use contact solution it makes it more red.
Thank you! :)

Fractured ankle
Posted Wednesday March 3 2010, 4:09 pm
Hi there.
So I have fractured my ankle and have my foot in a really big ugly boot for the next 3 weeks before surgery.
I can walk and do everything normal in the boot, however I can't run!
I was wondering, what are some kind of exercises that I could do to keep me fit in the mean time. I've gone from exercising from 3-4 times a week to nothing and it's already been 4 weeks since I broke my ankle!
I just don't want to be really unfit for when I am able to play sport again!
Any ideas? Thanks :)

Ankle
Posted Sunday February 21 2010, 8:02 pm
So my ankle cracked while doing some fitness training. I had a scan which showed I now have floating bone in my ankle.
My GP booked me in to see a specialist. The specialist has booked me in for surgery in 4 weeks time. (the injury is already 2 weeks old)
I have an appointment with the specialist tomorrow as he has not yet seen my ankle. He only booked in the surgery due to what the report of my scan said.
Thing is, I can walk on my ankle fine. I don't get any pain from walking nor moving it around. I can stand and balance on it with no pain at all.
Question is. Do you think this could be an old injury and I have just badly sprained my ankle? I have rolled my ankle many times befor...
