My friend is in the ICU with a ruptured aneurysm, please hel
Posted Thursday November 1 2007, 9:21 pm
My friend has survived a ruptured brain aneurysm before when she was younger. Yesterday she was supposed to come over but I kept calling her and she never picked up. Her sister left me a voice message today to call her. When I called her sister picked up. She told me that my friend had passed out so they took her to the hospital and they preformed surgery on her. She can't breathe on her own right now, she is unconscious. I think she said she was on life support and she said she is probably going to die.
Does anyone have any experience and know if she can live through this?

piercing
Posted Sunday October 28 2007, 3:45 pm
I got my tongue pierced yesterday about 2pm. then Then about 7pm that same day i was hanging out with a friend and i was drinking a soda and i went to the bathroom and the piercing was almost out. The ball came off and the bar was more the half way out. I tried to get it back through but i couldnt get it through. Do most piercing places redo it for within a certain amount of days or do you have to pay for it all over?

extra vertebrate
Posted Thursday October 25 2007, 4:55 am
So last year I had severe lumbar (lower) back pain. I went to a chiropractor and he said that I was born with an extra vertebrate. It cause me a lot of pain and discomfort just to stand. My doctor made me go to visit him 3 days a week for almost 2 months for a realignment. They really didn't help and I don't want to sound like a jerk and say "hey doc, your method sucks" but I also don't want to go to a different doctor to ask him if I might need surgery. I don't want them cutting into me and pretending like they did something just so that they could suck my money out of me. It feels like my vertebrate are almost rubbing together like there is no more cartilage in there. What could I do?? I know that there probably isn't a doctor o...

knee aches
Posted Thursday October 25 2007, 4:49 am
When I was in cheerleading, over 6 years ago, I had problems with my knees and I could barely bend them. The next year in cheerleading it wasn't as bad but still hurt. I took a 2 year break and I was in dance for 3 years after that. During that time it would hurt every now and then in performances and also when i go to sleep. I haven' done dance in over a year and just from standin on my knees they hurt. The pain is coming from under my knee cap and at the top. In my athleic training class we had to do this clarks grind test where you press down on the knee cap and flex it to feel for grinding and my knee did just that.What could it be?? I know for a fact it's not a torn ligament.

Ear Pain
Posted Saturday October 13 2007, 10:50 am
I don't know why but my left ear hurts occassionally. It is a sharp low, dull pain. I think I might have causes it because I got the feeling of not being able to hear from one ear- the feeling you get if you dunked your head in water and one of your ear seems to be cloggy. I pinched my nose and blew from my nose- but since I pinched it air came out of my ear. (ever happen to anyone of you?) but it is weird i know but it helps, my ear didn't clog up anymore but now, my ear gets this pain. I'm afraid it is something bad, does anyone know about this?

Epsom Salt for swelling...
Posted Wednesday October 10 2007, 9:45 pm
I got foot surgery about six weeks ago, and have been told that I'll have some swelling for some time in the area where the surgery was performed.
I heard that soaking your feet in a mixture of warm water and epsom salt helps to reduce swelling.
Is this also true of post- foot surgery? Or does this only apply to injuries that have just occurred?
Also, how often should I do this?

Burns/Scarring.
Posted Monday October 8 2007, 12:42 pm
I normally don't mind having scars. They heal and fade on their own for me after a couple years. I'm a total klutz, so having scars on my legs isn't a big deal to me. Problem? I recently burned my face with a curling iron, and I really don't want a mark that big on my chin for the next two years.
My dermatologist told me that Mederma is a waste of money and time. Are there any other treatments I can do, and has anyone had any luck with Mederma? Absolutely anything is very much appreciated! =]

Neck Injury (still pain and stiffness after 6 months)
Posted Monday September 24 2007, 10:16 pm
Basically, I had a few traumatic injuries to my neck about 6 months ago. A compression injury from a enlightened friend of mine who hit me in the head while trying on rock climbing helmets. And I also took a pretty bad fall snowboarding.
My doctor diagnosed me with a prolapsed disk and put me on anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxers for months. I felt great until I stopped taking the medicine. I then started physical therapy and over a few months had a lot of success. I was then encouraged to start exercising and returning to light sports. I then had a major relapse. The relapse was caused by carrying 4 liters of water in each hand for about a half mile. The pain and stiffness was worse than it had ever been. I c...

So I got an MRI a couple days ago
and the results came out as, that I
torn a ligament
and I have fluid built up in my knee.
Does anyone know how they will repair this?
Please tell me everything.
Thanks!

Tooth pain
Posted Saturday September 22 2007, 11:34 am
I have braces. I got them during feb? And I had my last appointment at the ortho around the beginning of august. And now last sat, I bit into a pretzel (not too hard and not too soft but it caused my tooth to hurt) and then two days after, my tooth (my front teeth) started to hurt. Like I don't know, I think it is the pain you get when the ortho tightens the wires or something? I think it is just that my teeth are shifting because of the braces and the feeling is just the pain from tightening but I don't know because only one specific tooth hurts, what is wrong? Do you think it is anything bad? Will my teeth fall out or something?

Scabs?
Posted Wednesday September 19 2007, 6:05 pm
Okay, so You know how if a scab heals over, like even with skin over the top, it's still reddish and raised? How do you make it fade faster than normal if the scab is on your shin?
