Is it a complete tear?

Sometimes they can cast them hip-to-toe and they get better, usually according to how severe the tear is. You might seek a second opinion. I have seen some folks take them to the chiropractor and give arthritis meds. Putting him down would not be an option if it were me. Heck I'd amputate if it required it before I would put him down. I realize sometimes this is necessary but as long as quality is life is still good, it is not necessary, plus, he still has 3 perfectly good legs.
Go to petpeoplesplace.com and post your story. It usually shows what state you are in, and ask if anyone knows anywhere in your area that you can call for assistance. There is very good advice on there. There are foundations that finance these surgeries or assist in payment.

I do nothing - I tear my Tshirt off...sm
I end up tearing off my tshirt, turn down the a/c, pace around for a bit, then try to get back to sleep.....I have just sort of accepted this, as it's been ongoing for soooo many years....and I'm not into hormonal replacement therapy.....
You made me tear up! LOL
great post!
Complete with red dress...
Weddings have become such shows...it's ridiculous! I've been to 2 weddings in 2 weeks, neither one too showy, but just money spent on silly little things (no programs!) like bubbles to blow at the bride and groom, which no one was left by the time they left...candies with their names on them, etc. Boy, can't wait til my DD gets married! 
I'm in complete agreement with you. SM
I talked to my daughter about the "facts of life" and my stepson, when he lived with us. They understood exactly how easy it was to get pregnant or get a girl pregnant.
It amazed me when my daughter told me some friends from school didn't know menstruation was a cycle. They thought it just happens!
I don't care if a parent is conservative or liberal, you must talk to your children and discuss sex with them and explain how their bodies grow into adulthood. If you want to stress abstinence, fine, do it, but by all means talk to them. Give them the facts, then have trust they will do the right thing and getting pregnant at 17 is NOT the right thing.
I believe this all has to do with the total dumbing down of America. And we wonder why things are so bad.
he needs a complete workup, lab etc.
who knows what it is, low blood sugar, thyroid, exhaustion. He needs this workup NOW, either by appt or by a trip in an ambulance. His choice, tell him that.
Thank you all for your kind words. Why do I have a tear or 2 in my eye?? I think it is sm
because it feels great to know I am not alone and that other WOMEN know my pain and can sympathize with me. That's all I needed yesterday!
Update: My little one is quite tired, but I don't see him itching! He is on Atarax, which I guess is a very strong Benadryl, and besides the fact that I have to stay home and indoors all week with him, all is well. He will be fine and I am doing great this morning.
Thank you ALL for your kind words. I was so glad to come on here this morning and not be drilled, too, by my fellow MTs! LOL
sarcasm = *to tear flesh* - MUST YOU?????
Anyone ever tear a rotator cuff? - sm
I took quite a fall yesterday in the snow/ice outside (our 1 snowstorm this year, how freaky) and hurt my left shoulder. Went to the ER which ruled out a break (didn't think I broke it but could not move it w/o considerable pain) but said that I either sprained or tore my rotator cuff. It is only slightly better today, I can straighten my arm out now w/o pain. Was told to go to PCP or Orthopedic doc Monday if it still hurt a lot. Obviously I can still type, for which I am grateful. I am in a sling but my keyboard tray is the exact level at which my arm is bent and as long as I don't move my arm about I am fine (I use my left hand a lot for certain command keys, using my right now). I was supposed to drive up (200 miles) and see my Dad on Tuesday but I fear I won't be able to now as (1) I can't lift my arm so driving would be a bit difficult, (2) can't drive while on the vicodin they gave me, not safe and too sleepy--trying to not take any today as I have a ton of work to do though that is due tomorrow. Also gave me Motrin (hurt my lower back too but that is nothing compared to the shoulder pain). As long as I don't move I feel pretty good. Would like input from anyone who has done this torn or sprained their shoulder, in my case the left one, and how long it took to heal, etc. Luckily I am off work this week , took off for Spring Break and to visit Dad, friends, in-laws, etc, still have my own account to do but they are taking off 1 day (out of 3) so that helps some pulse it only 300-500 lines a day so not too bad. TIA. 
Our Jack Russel had a tear
but it was not complete. We took her to the vet and the cost of the surgery was not anywhere near that. The vet said to give it a few weeks and see how she does. He did give her pain meds and said no jumping on or off furniture. Can you imagine, not letting a Jack Russel jump, HA HA, good one. She certainly favored it for a couple of weeks but was eventually able to use the leg normally except when going down steps. BTW, she can no longer jump on our bed but is able to get on the other furniture just fine. Defintely get a second opinion. Hope all goes well.
Gosh - that made me tear up!
ditto, a real tear jerker.

She sounds like a complete snob!
What a pain in the &$)#! It's her own fault that she didn't tell you what color dress to get beforehand! She is the one who is being difficult, not you! I would just wear that dress anyway!
This is complete bunk you are believing
A man does not get back at his wife by calling a same sex line. You are naïve to believe that. I know you say you love him and want things to work out. You are going to have to believe what your head is saying, not your heart. You probably do not believe this anyway. He is definitely up to more than he wants you to know.
SUV owner........last complete fill up was
nm
Never saw it coming, am in complete shock! sm
Wow. I did think it was somewhat distasteful that at the end they offered a memorial site for him, as though he (Kutner) was a real person. Hopefully, however, this will raise a bit of awareness to the importance of paying attention to those around us.

I'm in complete agreement. If major problem, everyone

They said no evidence of any crime occurring - tests ongoing and the rest will take 3-5 weeks to gather all info (drugs, et al).......Dr. Joseph Perper from Broward Medical Examiner's office is speaking now.....no physical injuries were found.....
Thankfully Hayley is gone - complete with her pageantry performances...sm
I'm with you - I actually liked Sanjaya's performance this week and it was the first time I actually liked what he did.
