Open Question: I had back surgery yesterday it was a disc fusion L5-S1.?

My question is about swelling, my feet and my hands are both swelled up and have been since I got home. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or knows anything about it. I am going to contact my surgeon, if the swelling doesn't go down. I just have to wait for Monday. I am also taking strong pain medicine, but I was also was on it before surgery so I don't think it could be the medicine. more

Open Question: which one would you rather?

comments on both and which do you prefer?? She feels warmth in your presence, Loneliness in your distance, No grip safe enough to hold onto.. She knows love’s at her feet, the world's at her door, There's endless skies and deep oceans.. She's enclosed in her mind, and alive in her heart, the fire's furious to ignite.. She feels there's a pattern, the pain reimbursing, only one to hide it undercover.. She lies in her sanctuary, on moonlight parade, so beautiful, yet not one desire.. She's afraid to walk out, take chance against comfort, make the dive, risk the fall.. As he sights, he may not know, the intention, the sunshine backdrop, that paints on her smile and dampens her fears.. OR Your deep blue eyes, They triggered a vein, Within the layers of her breaking heart. Her anger at the world, her confusion and frustration, Seemed to wash away at a single smile. Her lifeless body was lifted, A body that carried so many secrets, So many lies, She was what she used to be. You were the reason she lived, When everyday seemed so grey. Her vision was clear now. The optimistic views She had developed, Ridding her of her indecisive ways, They brought her a new meaning. But now, they have disappeared, Leaving no light left to find, Just a street of pure darkness, Like that of yesterday's sunset. So in the darkness of the night, Listening to the sound of the flowing creek, Sitting by that same windowsill, She ponders on the thought, This depression being her misleading judgement. Was it her fault? Or was it his, The one she had fallen in love with. She feels so distant, The drifting, She can not stand, Take her back to where you once were, And leave this behind, forget. more

Open Question: Does this sound like a good book?

As Nelly walked through Dolan woods she could feel her bones slowly and painfully change into those of a wolf. She quickened her pace, not wanting anyone to see what was about to happen. She began to full out sprint as Orange road disappeared from her sight. Her back arched, making her hunch over as she ran. Pain shot through her like hot, searing needles as she completely stopped in an isolated meadow with tall trees making a border. She fell to the ground, unable to withstand pain that was shooting though her body. Her hands and feet curling over and spouting sharp claws, a tail sprouted from her back side. Her Face elongated itself into a snout as her ears grew long and pointed. Her teeth fell out, sharp dagger like canine taking their places. Black fur took the place of her once pale skin, making her look like an oil slick. A mournful howl bursted from her parted jaws, marking her transformation complete. She swung her head around texting her new senses. She could hear everything, the stream bubbling 30 feet to her west, the soft scuttle of a mouse under one of the trees that made the border to the meadow. And she could smell everything, the fishy smell from the stream, the earthy, fresh smell of the meadow she was in. A cool breeze blew by her, bringing her the scent of deer. Her wolf instincts took control as she raced out of the meadow and a hill that had a bordering forest, toward the scent of prey. Everything past her in a moonlit blur as she raced though the dark forest, sensing the deer was not far away. As she came around a rock bend she spotted the brown animal that would soon become her prey. She charged the beast lightning quick, overpowering it. After that human Nelly’s conscious blacked out, letting the wolf in her take over.this is copy writed!! and this is the prolouge: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...texting is suppossed to be testing more

I jumped off about a 12 foot fence and landed really awkwardly on my right foot. I heard a distinct pop when it happened I think I made it worse because I had to run away because cops were shooting at me.

My friend told me to just walk it off, but that isn't working. more

Open Question: how often should i ice my knee to make it feel better?

I guess the toe nuckel. over time the pain got bad and I sit a lot to let it heal. It doesn't get brused or change colorsbut when i rub it it does hurt. Should I just tape the toe?

Open Question: Swimming with flippers gives me a sharp stabbing pain in leg...?

I've been swimming for years, and have had no problems when training with flippers (doing drills etc) however over the past few months, I have found that every time I kick my legs hard on frontcrawl, especially if I am wearing flippers or fins, I get a sharp pain that goes up my leg and causes a stabbing sharp sensation behind one of my knees. It hurts so badly I have to stop and hold my leg (I can't move it at all because the pain is so bad or climb out of the pool). It's excruciatingly painful for about 10 seconds, and then the pain subsides gradually. But it's such a pain. I'm hesitant on seeing my doctor because last time I went she had a go at me for going twice in 2 months :/ Does anyone know what I could have? I have a flat foot condition if that helps... more

Open Question: Is this a true Christian? Honestly?

This is a post I found on the LGBT section by Dr Doris, who claims to be a christian... I know plenty of Christians, went to a christian school and help out at a christian church... now please somebody inform me, is this a true representation of a christian... if not, what possess them to steer so far from what Christ has taught them and be so cruel and horrible? I really do wonder who the one going to hell is at the end of post by Dr Doris, the homosexuals, or Dr Doris... I saw visions of hell where homos and lesbos are being tortured. I saw homos being dragged across stone floors by demons, their skin all blistering red from the heat, and shoved onto a metal spike 1 foot wide and 5 feet long. The spike goes up their a.s.s and they scream so loud. The other end of the spike comes out their throat. The smell of bloody s.h.i.t hits the air and they continue to scream, the demons just laugh at them. Those homos, I bet they wish they could die. How horribly they are being tortured, how much it must hurt! Only thing is, they're already dead. I saw lesbos in hell too, also being dragged against stone floors with blistering skin. The demons rip off her clothes and pull out a HUGE 6 foot long penis from their pants and shove it forefully up her vagina. She screams so loud as the demons huge penis goes in deeper and deeper. You can see her vagina twitching in pain and the demon's penis so hard, you KNOW he's excited by it. His penis comes out her chest and blood is dripping everywhere, all over the place. She begs to be free, but knows that all the yelling is useless. Then the demons superglue her vagina shut, never to be opened again for eternity, having to deal with her wounds forever and ever. Those homos and lesbos scream out to God for mercy. They wish they weren't evil, disgusting homos and lesbos on earth. It wasn't worth spending an eternity in hell. But then I saw God in heaven, and everyone who ever killed a homo or lesbo was sitting proudly next to him and Jesus. God telling them how holy and wonderful they are, while he laughs at the unbearable torment the homos and lesbos are suffering forever. God wishes me to tell my story. He empowers me with this knowledge and courage to tell all you homos and lesbos about this. By the way, if anyone gets mad at this, then you KNOW that the reason is because they are facing their true selves. They look inside and know that if they continue their evil homo or lesbo lifestyle, then all those things will happen to them! That's why they get mad! more

Open Question: Would you know right away if you fell and broke your spine?

Hi I'm 20...I've fallen recently and I have a neck strain from it...now my back hurts 2 days later...it is kind of a dull and achy pain, but I can move everything and nothing feels weak. May this pain just be from laying in one place for quite some time for my neck strain? WOuld I have known right away if I had broken my back? I did not have back pain at the time. Would they have caught that at the ER? They made sure I could push my foot against their hand and move my toes. They also made sure I could move my hands against theirs. They did a cat scan of my head and a neck xray.... more

Open Question: Is this normal? Sex question--Please help, it's affecting my relationship?

Hey, I'm an eighteen year old female. However, I have been having problems with sex. I've been sexually active since this January but have only had problems with intercourse. I don't enjoy it, not even a little bit. When I lost my virginity, it took us (my boyfriend and I) trying over three weeks before I was able to take him in. Now, I merely have a pain when he first enters but I feel no enjoyment out of it. When he goes hard, fast, and deep, I can't breath sometimes for a few seconds from what I can only describe as pressure. I don't know what it is--if I'm too small, or he is too big for me. I mean, he's 7 1/2-8 inches but that's not like humongous. There is a foot difference in height between us, if that causes anything I don't have a very high sex drive. When he makes me orgasm orally, I don't even desire sex for at least a week. Please, is there anything anyone can give me as advise or a cause for what is happening. Sex is the only--the ONLY problem we have in our relationship and it really shouldn't be--Two, healthy, eighteen year old adults. He gets a blow to his ego every time I don't feel anything and changing positions will only work very minimally--lessen the discomfort only slightly. Please help me. I can see us eventually breaking up over sex--and we've been dating almost a year. I love him to death--and I really, really want to feel pleasure during intercourse.I forgot to mention--We have extensive foreplay and he enters only after I've orgasmed through oral sex--which isn't a small amount. He slides in and out relatively easily. more

Open Question: Okay. Went to a party last night, and now my feet are absolutely KILLING ME!!!!!!!?

Okay, so i came back home at around 2:00am. and i took my shoes off, and i think my feet were kinda swollen, and they feel REALLLLY weird, like they've been kinda clamped together or something. - i guess because it was like 8 degrees, so my feet kinda froze in my shoes. oh the shoes were super high and the heel was skinnier than a pencil - i must say, the pain they put me through was alright, because they looked AWESOME!!! lol :) They were hurting the whole night, because we ended up walking to the venue, instead of taking a tram! ummm, and then we danced a lot, and so, it was hurting from there as well. So anyway, when i came back home i soaked my feet in hot water, and every time i thought the water was getting cold, i would put more water into the spa.... (i was dangling my feet in the spa.) - its was really hot water. and then i thought i would be better by the morning, but their still hurting. any help would be appreciated. OMG! my feet are KILLING ME!!!!! .... :) more

Open Question: Where to get custom made shoes?

Well this is how my feet look like. They dont fit into normal shoes. So i have always wore unfitting shoes so my pinky toe turned outwards and my feet have always been uncomfortable and if i run or jump my toe nails hurt. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1921177&l=4ba62ac1ee&id=751884704 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1921176&l=f4cf4daab2&id=751884704 so i mean i've never found a triple wide at a store before, and if there were it wasnt the type of shoe i would ever wear in public. Like i want some white air force mid top triple wide, but no... thanks guys or if you guys know how to get air forces in triple wide sizes. Cuz thats the problem, my feet are too wide for its length. Like a choad. Or its too wide at the toes. Its like a V. And im a sprinter so i cannot fit into any god damn cleats or spikes...Have no idea how skinny those shoes are. Always been sprinting in wide airforces. The most closest shoe to triple wide and least amount of pain. But its still not pain free. thanks guys more

Open Question: what do you think of the first chapter of my story?

ok so its a horror/Ghost story! the title is : the haunting of Emma williams. i am only 13 but i really want tough love [i lack of a Better word] this is the prologue, this "scene" actually takes place in the middle of the book. the actual 1st chapter will be the opening of the story. im starting it now. [if there are spelling mistakes please ignore them] +++++++++++++++++++ I looked up at the starless sky still in a daze at how different this place was from back home. Back in New York the skies were breath taking to anyone, no matter how many times you had seen them. Now the skies were dull, with no star's left to admire. * I can't just sit here forever, and let that thing control my life. I won't let it control my life! I stood up and wiped the dirt of my old blue jeans. I turned around and headed up the the hill to the house. * The walk up the path and through the gate was a lot longer than normal,I often had to remind myself to breath. I let myself through the partly opened door, and let it close with a SMACK behind me. The floorboards squeaked below my feet. How is it humanly possible for a house to make this much noise? Oh right, these things weren't human, or at least not mortal. * By this time i was at the bottom at the long stairwell that had once sent me into a awe. Each step let out its own moan, each unique sound sent chills down my back. Finally I reached the top step. "emma" the thing said, as child like giggles followed. "Emma, have you come to play?" more giggles followed. "what have you done to my mother?" i said in a stern voice. * Then suddenly a white, almost translucent, shadow stepped out from around the corner. It was the girl. With her flowy white summer dress and the pretty, red ribbon in her hair. "what are you taking about Emma?" She said with a trace of sarcasm in her voice. * Is it possible for this thing to be beautiful yet have the mind and soul of the devil. Then it struck me, that is exactly what she is. A hidden devil masked behind the face of a pained angel. ++++++++++++++++ ok so those "+" or "*" help me separate each of the paragraphs. thx ahead of time. ps. this is NOT the plot just simply the prologue! more

Open Question: Please help. I'm in pain and I'm scared! ):?

I just got home from the ER, and I am in severe pain. Today, I was at a clinic with my new horse. I have only had her about 2 weeks, and have ridden her 4 times. Well, before I tell you about today, I'll tell you about yesterday. Yesterday, I was on a trail ride and everything went wonderful until my horse caught site of some goats running toward her. She flipped out, took a sharp left turn (at which point I ate dirt) and took of into the sunset. Literally. It took an hour for us to track her down. I wasn't badly hurt, as I landed in some soft grass on my butt. My butt was pretty sore but no biggie. So today, I was ready to get back on so I took her with my 4-H club to a clinic at the local fairgrounds. I was in the large outdoor arena there and all was well for a while. (oh yeah, by the way, my horse is terrified of whips. We think she was abused.) My trainer was about 10-20 feet behind me riding her 3 year old QH and she snapped him with a crop, scared the SH!T out of my horse, and she bolted. This time I didn't fall off right away. I held on for about 50 feet of her wild galloping. Then she veered sharply to the right and I hit the ground HARD. As soon as I hit the ground I was screaming, I had never felt that much pain in my life. I was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital where they took x-rays and gave me some very nice pain medication that made all the bad things go away and I felt great(if I didn't move.). Then the meds wore off. That sucked. So in the end I broke nothing, thank the Lord, but I have to foot long brush burns, I can't walk right, and I can't move without screaming. I was very very close to breaking my pelvis. I don't think I will ever be able to get back up on my horse again, or at least thats what it feels like. I've only ridden her 4 times and 2 of those times I was thrown off! Come on. I don't have the experience to fix this. I need to either hire a trainer to desensitize her, or I need to sell her. The thought of selling her makes me want to throw up because I love her so much already. The problem with hiring a trainer is I don't know how we could afford it! Its so expensive! Going to get more pain meds. Please tell me what I should do! more

Open Question: Might I have a broken foot?

Last night I was getting out of my car and I stepped on my left foot wrong. I heard and felt a crunching noise in the upper left side of my foot, almost right below the ankle area.

Open Question: pain on sides and bottom of foot?

I went to bed two nights ago, and woke up with my left foot being very tender. The pain has increased substantially in the last 24 hours, even though I have done my best to keep off the foot, ice it, and take some ibuprofen. I was looking on the web and came across plantar fasciitis, which sounds similar to my pain, but the pain is not localized around the heel. The pain actually occurs on the sides of the feet, from the toes down to the middle of the arch. Also there is pain on the sole where the toes and the sole come together. The sole itself is also tender from the same range. The heel and ball of the foot is the only part that is not sore. So I was wondering if this was a particular condition, that is not plantar fasciitis but is similar? more

Resolved Question: Why do some Muslims teach Children to hate dogs...Read Shocking?

I myself was spared any worse sight than that of a young Muslims girl...standing over a litter of two-week old puppies, and suddenly kicking one as hard as she could with her shod foot. The puppy screamed with pain, but at my angry intervention she merely said blankly, ‘But it's unclean.' In Sharifabad I was told by distressed Zoroastrian children of worse things: a litter of puppies cut to pieces with a spade-edge, and a dog's head laid open with the same implement; and occasionally the air was made hideous with the cries of some tormented animal. I NEVER NEW THERE WAS SUCH A THING AS A EVIL CHILD.I said Some Muslims! more

Open Question: I am hurting really bad right now (I'm 13).?

I went for a pelvic ultrasound a yesterday. I am 13 years old. They think I have some cyst or something on my ovary. They did 2 ultrasounds. One was like when pregnant women go to see their baby and then they did one that was inside of my vagina. They did not let my mom in the room when the lady did the thing. I got upset by that because I wanted my mom there for I guess support because I was very nervous...My mom told them that and they still did not let her in. When I got there I had to drink a lot of water and they did the one like the pregnant people do and then they told me to use the bathroom and then the lady did the vagina one. They told me to insert the thing. The lady doing it told me to insert it like a tampon. I do not use tampons so I had no idea what I was doing so I told the lady that I just started my period about 6 months ago and I do not use tampons. She got a little like frusturated at me and said kinda rude "well put your legs up here and I guess I have to do it". When she put it in and did the thing it really hurt and it still is sore today. I found out that I do have some cysts on my ovaries so could it be caused from that or from the lady putting it in there. Why wasn't the lady aloud to put the thing in me? She did everything else... Also this was just a very embarrassing doctor appoitment! When the vagina one was going on the table was facing the door my legs were in these foot rests so my legs were spread apart and so the thing was sticking out my vagina and did not hit my legs or anything. I was not covered at all and some guy technicion walked into the room by accident! I felt so embarrased! He saw my whole privates everything! I just wanted everything to be over! The 1st ultrasound took about 20 mins (that was the one like the pregnant people get) and the 2nd one that was in my vagina took like 45 mins! I was so nervous and anxious for it to be over! I guess my questions are, why aren't the people aloud to put the thing in your vagina and why did it hurt so bad that it hurts today? My mom is going to call the gynocolgist or something like that (that was the doctor I saw and he sent us to get the ultrasounds) on Monday because they are not open today but it really hurts and we both do not no what to do. Is there anything I can do to take the pain away. I have taken some advil and that is not working and my mom is not sure. My next door neighbor is a doctor and he is a gynocoligist so worst case my mom and I going to talk to him but he's a man and if he wants to look at it I don't want that! My vagina around the hole is all red. The thing that the lady put in my vagina was pretty big so is the hole to small or something? I don't no but it hurts really bad! I'm sorry for the long question to read but I really need some help. Please answer it. Thank you!do you think I should ask my neighbor the gynocoligist cause this pain is unberable! I don't really want to but it may be my last thing until mondayok I just went to the bathroom and I have some blood that was on my underware and on the toilet paper...what now! more

Open Question: Dog with a wound that smells, please help?

My dog has a tumor in his paw, he has been to the vet and is taking pain medication and a steroid to help shrink the tumor. The problem started with a cut on his paw (which is how we discovered the tumor) but he won't let the cut heal. He chewed a good deal of skin off of his paw and now it oozes and smells terrible. We took him back to the vet to get the paw bandaged when it happened, and she told us it looked great. I don't understand how that could be, since his foot smells so bad that you smell it as soon as you enter the house. Does anyone know what to do for a smelly wound like this?My dog has been wearing a cone to keep him from chewing on his foot. I've been changing his bandage daily, rinsing his foot when I remove the bandage and then allowing it to air dry as long as possible before putting on another bandage. more

Open Question: Ankle Injury - Sprain, Bruise, Fracture, Tendons, or something else?

My ankle was stepped on / kicked inadvertently by an opponent while jockeying for a incoming disc in a game of ultimate frisbee. Ouch! I've sprained, rolled, and fractured my ankles before, but this one was injured differently and felt different. The outside of my ankle felt like it had been lobbed a bit. I could walk for the first 20 minutes, and then it swelled up and I had to limp. I iced the ankle and elevated it and took ibuprofen for the first 2 days, and the pain has largely gone away after 4 days. It is no longer swelled up either. The remaining symptoms are a faint red line below the bulb-like bone on the exterior, about 18 inches from the base of my foot, numbness and tingling in the affected area, and sensitivity to the touch. I am still favoring my other foot and walking with a slight limp. The injury occurred 4 days ago. Should I see a doctor? Can I afford to "wait it out?" Should I purchase a walking cast or continue to ice it? I appreciate the help, thanks. more

Open Question: Did I fracture my toe?

Last night I hit my foot on my husband's weight bar HARD causing some serious pain. I woke up this morning and my toe is stiff and is hurting very badly.

Open Question: Did I twist my ankle?

Yesterday in gym, one of my friends accidentally kicked the outside of my foot, hitting the bone. I walked it off, but I was limping and it hurt. Throughout the day, my little toe and side of my foot turned red, and I continued to limp. No unbareable pain, but I woke up this morning and it hurts worse. It feels like I need to crack my foot, but when I attempt to, that's when the pain is at its worst. So, what do you think it is? A twisted ankle? I've never had one before so I'm not sure! What should I do?If it was a cramp, would I still be limping?! Idk what to do =[ It feels like it just really needs to be CRACKED! You know when you need to crack your back--it feels like that, but in my ankle.. how weird LOL. It hurts so bad though! more

Open Question: What type of metabolic disorder is often misdiagnosed as Asperger's?

I have been going to doctors for years and cannot figure out what is wrong with me. I'm 26 years old. I feel much older. My bones hurt and break easily, my joints hurt, my muscles are sore and my whole body is weak all the time. I have all of the social problems of Asperger's, but I don't believe that's what I have. I think my social and emotional struggles come from trying to be a normal 26 year old woman with 2 children when it hurts to get out of bed every day. I am in serious pain. Nobody believes be so I need to find the answer on my own. Everyone thinks I just want pain medication. I don't even like to take pills. I just want an answer so I can stop hurting. Right now I have a broken foot (Jones fracture) and a split disc in my back. When I move, I am starting to sound like I'm walking on bubble wrap because my joints pop so much. I had a bone spur removed 13 years ago because it was forming right under a nerve in my leg. HELP ME - PLEASE! more

Open Question: 4 months after ACL Reconstruction surgery Should I still take Pain Meds if in pain?

I am 24/M from Idaho. Im just looking for an honest answer. Ok.. on 2/4/09 I had acl reconstruction surgery. A couple of weeks ago I was cut off from pain meds. I since have been taking antiinflammatories and icing 5 days a week. I work construction and Im always on my feet. I have a lot of pain mon-fri due to my job and being on my feet 8 hours a day. On the weekends its not as bad b/c I stay off my leg. I feel as if the pain meds helped but my doctor doesn't believe I should still be on them so there for he no longer prescribes them to me, in fact he made me feel guilty like I was a junkie. He told me I would have pain for at least 6 months and up to 9 months . I took his advice on naproxyn sodium 220 mg twice a day and ice and a special acl knee brace. My question is, is it wrong I still want the pain meds b/c its the only thing that is truly helping? And If its not wrong, how do I go about talking about this with a doctor when this is kind of a hard subject. My doctor and the nurses in the orthopedics place where I got my surgery treated me like I was a junkie, it was so embarrasing and made me feel guilty and worthless. How does a person go about talking to your doctor and dealing with this?? Do I go to a different doctor? What is your take on this situation. Be honest,tell me how you would look at this situation and help me understand. If I could sign up for no pain or the knee I had prior to tearing and repairing it I would. This acl has changed my life. Thanks more

Resolved Question: Christians only PLEASE. Need help for hurt friend.?

My friend, whom I love with all my heart like she was my sister, was sexually abused when she was a child. She cannot forgive or let go of this, and the pain is eating away at every part of her life. Although she has a huge heart and would help anyone, she has a lot of unresolved anger that is eating away at her physically and emotionally. I am aware that often suffering is what leads us to the foot of the cross, but if I can lighten her load on the way, I would gladly share her burden. As a Christian, I know the healing power of the Holy Spirit and of forgiveness. While my friend respects my beliefs and loves me despite our differences, she is not a Christian and has feelings of hostility towards Christians (in general) because of her view that we are the reason that she cannot marry her girlfriend. My dilemma is that the only solution I see to alleviating her pain is through Christ because He is what I know, but she will not accept help in this way just yet. Please tell me, how can I ease my dear friend's burden?Please understand that the only reason I requested answers from Christians is because other Christians will understand why I am having trouble finding a way to comfort my friend without mentioning my source of comfort--Jesus. I am not trying to push anything onto my friend--just the opposite. I do not want to be the source of anymore stress for her. I appreciate all of the answers. I am certainly praying for her because they may be all that I can do. BTW, She is a shy person and will not speak with a counselor. more

Open Question: Jump Roping causing damage to knee?

So I have been jump roping for about two months. it is in a workout consisting of: 600 jumps (50 medium 150 all out) 20 push ups 30 crunches 30 lower ab crunches i stopped the jump roping for about two weeks due to finals, grad practice and first week of summer fun but through out the time, my knees would hurt every once in a while. It happened a while back but then i started jumping again and the pain went away. do you think that jump roping is causing my knees to hurt? do you think that jump roping could be damaging my knees? ive read that it is actually easy on ones knees. so i was just wondering if jump roping could be damaging my knees somehow. i know i jump how im supposed to (landing on the balls of my feet thus letting calves and feel absorb most of the impact) but i jump rope on cement because i cant find anywhere else to do it. Im really not sure and i want to keep up the cardio so i can lose my stomach fat and not let muscle building slow me down. any opinions or help would be greatly appreciated and thnx in advance. more
