soccer kicker's toe, football kicker's toe, etc. RICE is the treatment for it. It looks worse than it actually is. (RICE - rest, ice, compression, elevation.)

Anyone every break a blood vessel in their eye. I just did and it looks awful. nm
:
Seem to be having a problem with a blood vessel breaking in eye. I do rub them a lot and sneeze
with allergies. Never had this problem before. Dont have high bp or dibabetes. Always something.
Anyone ever get any of those tiny little red spots on face that look like little blood vessel bursts
but they are flat. What can you do about that.
Life is more fluid than a clay vessel, I think.
Besides, some of the most productive and busy people are probably considered cracked pots by mean people.
Sounds broken to me - sm
I had a display case/suitcase (70#) fall on my foot years ago, it got knocked and started to fall so I jumped out of the way, but I had not jump back far enough and the edge of it landed on my right big toe. The next day I was showing it to the company controller (it happened at work), she freaked as it was blue, black, purple, and of course hurt like the dickens. Went to the hospital, yep, broken clean in half. All they did for it was give me a special boot for my foot to wear for 3 weeks and obviously to use crutches until it was less painful. Can't hurt to get it checked but there really is not much they can do either.
Broken hearted. SM
Last Wednesday evening I called the police regarding dog barking right next to my house. It was just terrible all day, 12 hours the dog was at the door and they did not let it in, then they left. I kept leaving the house and coming back to avoid it. It was day off. This has been a problem with these people,who have beautiful dogs. Some days not bad at all, some just terrible. I finally could not take it any longer. I waited for the police to come out in front of theh house and the neighbor and his wife drove up shortly afterwards. When the neighbor first saw the police he apologized for his barking dog, which was still going crazy. When I, trying to be upfront and honest, told him I called and was sorry for doing so, things got bad. He was swinging his arms around, denying everything, etc. He said the next time my car is stuck in the snow I can just remember what I did to him. I never ask for anyone's help, but a few times he helped get my car out. I take care of myself and never, ever ask anyone for help. Now it is silent next door. I love dogs more than anything and just wanted the police to help me speak to him. The policeman said that the guy handled it very immaturely and told the guy he was blowing this out of proportion. I am sad and feel terrible living here now. Please help.
I think my spirit is broken also (sm)
He said to me this morning "You can't take care of yourself, you need someone to take care of you, you don't make enough money." Well, I would probably have to work more but the fact is I make pretty darn good money considering I do 99.9% of the taking care of our children and everything around our house. Just another way to degrade me I think.
Broken hearts?
HELP...... My son is 17, almost 18 years old. His girlfriend of one year (a lifetime at this age) has just left (two weeks ago) for college about 4 hours away from hometown... my son is having a HORRIBLE time adjusting to this. She is partying, not text messaging, no emails, etc. etc. all the while claiming she loves him but just does not think about him much anymore. I was up until almost midnight last night with a crying teenager and trying to explain to him that this too will make him stronger and all the crap you are supposed to say, none of which seemed to make him feel any better. He is horribly lonely... they have not officially "broken up" though she said if that would make him happy she understands... What is a mother to do? Back away slowly and let him walk through it... make cookies and wring my hands until I go nuts... watch him be depressed and say nothing at all???? Any other Mom's who have gone through this??? ANY help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
what is the material that is broken
is it hard plastic? could possibly glue (Gorilla glue) and clamp somehow?
Thanks both of you. My heart is just broken sm
not much else I can say. I have tried so many times to talk to her about this and she just doesn't care.
Don't know if this machine is broken or not...help?
Sorry to intrude here but someone in this crowd likely know the answer to my quandary(SP?)... I'm not a Transcriptionist but my neighbor wants me to sell these two machines he has. I learned trans back in high school (30 years ago!) but think these two machine "might" be broken. Both units are micro players (the Lanier VW-210 and Lanier P-101). Neither show the "units" or "location" in their digital displays... From my recall, the machine was supposed to tell you where in the tape you were (hence I believe the above indicators). Everything else works on the machines but if they're broken I don't think I should sell them. Any suggestions? I went looking for advice, online manuals, you name it. Whatever suggestions or advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
Vet called before and after surgery, and assistant called this
this afternoon. I cant wait to see her. She has only been gone for 1 day and as one lady stated, the house is empty. Working from home, I have become quite attached to her and her to me. Thanks for all the well wishes and Boo Boo Kitty thanks you too !!
I think she died of a broken heart.
She said in an interview awhile back that if it wasn't for her baby, she'd be with Daniel whereever he was. She wanted to leave this earth.
This whole thing is so sad - like some horrible made-for-TV-movie.
Black and blue toe - broken??
Ok, so I was walking from my daughter's room to my room last night and had this sharp pain in my 2nd toe on my left foot. I just shook it off as it didn't hurt that bad, but I woke up this morning and my toe is all bruised up with dark purple and redish shades on the bottom half. It doesn't really hurt unless I put direct pressure on it, but do you think this could be broken? Obviously, I would need an x-ray to know for sure, but does anyone have another explanation for why this would happen. I went ahead and buddy-taped it just in case and will continue to monitor for any changes, and will probably go to the dr on Monday if it gets worse, but this is just weird as it doesn't really feel broken??
Anyone ever broken your clavicle? How did it feel? (sm)
I am concerned I may have broken mine when I tripped and fell last night. Trying to decide if it is really broken or if I am being a wimp! It hurts when I raise my arm on that side, not excruciating, but not pleasant.
You sure it is not broken? Two months is way too long - sm
Go to an Orthopedist if you have not yet done so. Maybe you tore something if it is not broken. A sprain normally heals in less than a week, not months.
My house was broken into while it was locked...
I normally leave it unlocked and noone has ever just walked in. It would have been a lot cheaper to fix if it had been unnlocked for the burglary. When my house was broken into, it was empty and the majority of the monetary damages were due to the damage caused by breaking in.
A broken love story - who do you agree with?
Two people were both in very bad marriages when they met - her husband had been cheating for years but she was afraid to leave, his wife had kicked him out repeatedly but had him come back to live basically as a roommate to help pay the bills. They fell in love. He was a strong Christian and started to feel terribly guilty and told her through many tears that it had to end, that God had to come first. She, being a backslidden Christian herself saw that he was right. Through many tears and lots of prayers for forgiveness and help, they let each other go. Later, his wife kicked him out again, this time permanently. About six months later, his love decided to finally leave her still cheating husband. She told the man she loved. He said that he missed her terribly and it was the hardest thing he had ever done, but because of the way their relationship started, they could never be together again, because it would be a sin. She disagreed, feeling that they had been forgiven for what they had done and that neither of their marriages ended because of each other. Who do you agree with?
I heard the voice yelling out about broken record
and I figured Kara was saying similar statement as she had for previous round. Had no idea Megan's brother. I, like you, could not believe how she was acting and basically think she shot her own self in her foot. What music producer would take a wannabe and try to make a star out of that? Besides do not consider her that talented at all.
Wait! No pigs in the White House, though. Nevermind..that rule has already been broken! nm

Considering her face was broken multiple times by Ike Turner, a facelift is certainly excusable. nm

It's in the blood.
If I were you I would go to the ER.. Blood
in the urine is an indication that the kidneys are involved.
Or was it from your period?
How can you stand the pain in your inflamed urethra and ureter?
yes, they do do lab work on the blood, --sm
as well, and those results would be available within a very short period of time. Maybe you should continue your studies in the forensic pathology area, if that is what interests you.
I can as have had low blood pressure in the
past and you can feel extremely fatigued, you can have dizziness from it running too low. When mine would run extremely low, say 80/60 or so, I used black licorce as this I found out years ago will elevate blood pressure. So tired with it, that I know.
blood tests
HIV...period...
You might want to get some blood work
A lot of time women have thyroid problems, and this can cause you to feel tired, very disinterested in sex, cannot lose weight et cetera, or there may be a hormonal imbalance that can also cause this. I would recommend talking to your doctor or gynecologist and get them to write a script for some lab work.
taste of blood.....
yea alot of people say that. I have heard it numerous times, but then I see shelters take in hard core fighting dogs & turn them into loving pets & working dogs for the community such as lawdogsusa.org so I believe this is a myth.
Gee, didn't mean it was NOT in the blood but stating that it would have
shown in the autopsy quite quickly in the organs, as that is what I thought the original poster had inquired about.
Point out he can get a blood infection and die - sm
if he does not get his teeth taken care of. He must have some rotten breath too, yuk. Guess you don't do much kissing either. I went out on 1 date with a guy with bad teeth, gross, I did not want to kiss him goodnight and barely did, never dated him again because I was so grossed out.
Have your blood sugar checked! I'd nod off (sm)
to the point that my nose would actually touch the keyboard!! While funny, it was also a symptom. I had undiagnosed diabetes and would just "poop" out when my blood sugar was too low (or even too high!). According to my doctor there's more undiagnosed diabetes out there than you'd believe!
Check the blood pressure often, have my own
cuff and last check was 106/70 something and no headache at all. Was thinking yesterday wonder what the wait would be going to the emergency room, that bad. The last visit to an ER was about a year ago and I spent the entire night waiting to be seen, was admitted the next morning. I am not 1 just to go to be going, has to be really severe.
New cause for blood pressure increase sm
Typed in a report today: His blood pressure is 160/100, however, he attributes this to his wife's driving.
Typical male remark, LOL. 
Blood pressure - when to be alarmed
Hey, folks. Need your opinions if you don't mind. How high should bp be before one becomes alarmed, and what is a reasonable expectation of your doctor's response when you visit him/her with an elevated bp? Should we be concerned if bp is above:
A. 120/80
B. 130/90
C. 140/95
This isn't a quiz, not really. I am just wondering for myself personally. Also, let's throw in that the pt had been under a significant amount of stress over the last few months which is now lessened pretty much to 'normal', and that the patient also has had a couple of migraines in the last couple of weeks prior to the bp shooting up - with no hx of migraines.
Appreciate the opinions.
Sincerely,
A paranoid hypochondriac HC

Cord blood banks
Does anyone know of a reputable blood bank where new mom's can store their baby's cord blood? Also, the procedure for doing this? Thanks for your help. 
JAN--A SISTER-IN-LAW IS NOT A BLOOD RELATIVE.
Did that tell her?
Have you ever had your blood sugar suddenly
I was just wondering, because I think that's what happened to me today just as I was finishing up with getting a little exercise this afternoon. Usually a piece of meat or cheese and I'm completely normal again, but this time it's much slower to go away. Just as I was about to call it a day anyway, I suddenly got very weak-feeling and slightly nauseous, & a little light-headed. Sat down until it passed, then skipped going to the market afterward, like I'd planned, and came home. While driving home I was sweating so much that in about 10 minutes I was soaked. I came inside, had some cheese and some slices of chicken, then lay down, using a big bath towel as a blanket since that's what was handy. Soon that was soaked, too. Felt better about 30 minutes later, took a hot shower and had some dinner. Now I'm almost back at baseline. I've had similar spells very occasionally in the past, but they always cleared up within minutes of having either some protein or a banana. Does that sound like a hypoglycemic episode to you? I'm not diabetic, in fairly good shape, not overweight, and do tend to eat a lot of sweets.
This little smiley shows how quickly it comes on, and how it feels! 
transferred two units of blood
what did she type
Should be "transfused 2 units of blood."
Where would you be transferring it from?? It's being transfused into the body.
how many of you have high blood pressure
..and do you have it under control??? Do you think it runs in family's.
Mine is still not where it should be but better than it was. I do think it runs in family's. My mom is a little bitty woman and has uncontrollable blood pressure. All 4 of us kids has high blood pressure. My mom, myself and my brother have all had strokes. My brother has had 2. My older brother tends to get nose bleeds and has to have his nose packed. My younger sister has just started experiencing problems with her blood pressure. My dad on the other hand has low blood pressure and will drop to quickly.
Donated blood today, as I have done many times before. sm
Today, however, while sitting in the cantina having a snack afterwards I felt so TIRED and short of breath. We left and went to the grocery store and by the time I got into the store I thought I was going to pass out, gave my daughter the list and went back to sit in the car. What gives? I have donated blood before and haven't felt bad afterwards. Now I am working and GOD I feel like crap.
I gave blood yesterday too, they told me not to - sm
do any excessive exercise or a day, drink plenty of fluids and not to skip any meals. Have you done any of that? Is it overly hot where you are? Call your doctor and speak to a nurse or leave a message for him to call you and see what they suggest. In the meantime I would rest, have some soup and plenty of fluids. I hope you feel better soon. Been around anyone sick lately, could just be that and not anything to do with giving blood unless you happen to be anemic and do not know it.
You snip them off yourself, with scissors? Does it not HURT? Isn't there a lot of blood? sm
Sorry for my response - you shocked me. I was hoping for responses, but never expected one like this. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');

My daughter mentioned True Blood before
but I told her no way. She's only 14. I heard about the series, but I haven't had a chance to watch it. If I had a moment to read, I'd like to read the Twilight books myself, but I just can't seem to find a minute to do any reading. My daughter is going on Friday with her Twilight school group and then again on Saturday.
True Blood, The Office, Big Love...
I loved The Riches on FX, but it isn't coming back. That's about it. I still watch The Sopranos and SATC DVDs all the time, got the box set of each, great to work out on the elliptical or treadmill to.

Need opinion on blood thinner experience sm
Have someone in hospital on the drip, but will come home in a few days with the pill form. She says "no dietary restrictions" and I am worried. You know how this profession is with the so-called "little knowledge" which is damaging. I've worked for many hospitals and have heard a lot in my day, but I am just an "in-law" and not considered "family" by her. I want to be helpful but nor buttinski, so I just say to be sure to speak to the doctor and perhaps a nutritionist before she leaves for home. Am I worrying needlessly? Just need another's opinion with this problem. For now, I am just shutting up. I really do care. She is lucky to be alive IMHO, don't want her to suffer anymore than she already has, legs to lungs, filter required. I know the warfarin is a very slippery slope and heard things like garlic and vitamin K cause problems. I know blood checks are a must. Perhaps I should just shut up and listen and mind my own business.
I would type, "transferred 2 units of blood."
