  • Treatment for thigh/ knee pain?

    I currently work at an animal shelter medical team as a tech. This job involves constant standing around and not much breaks available when it's busy for a long time. So I am constantly on the move for 7-9 hours. My knees and my thighs are in a lot of pain after a days work also hurts when going up or downstairs. What are some good treatments for this? I recently bought shoes with padding so my heels aren't in a lot of pain but is this something that I would need to go to a doctor for or can I purchase something that will ease the pain?

  • Do I have to file tax return for 2018 if I didn't work at all or have an income?

    I was wondering If I had to file a tax return for 2018. I didn't get a W-2 because I did not earn anything and didn't have a job at all for last year. I still do have student loans to pay off. Couple of my friends told me I don't have to if no income was earned but I wanted to double check and make sure they are right. Don't want to get in trouble from IRS or anything.

  • Advice to pass next road test / Review mistakes?

    I failed my road test twice now. Kind of embarrassed about it but I want to move forward and fix my mistakes and pass. I'd appreciate any helpful advice to help me understands my mistakes better because the examiner just gave me the receipt saying try again next time and didn't really go over what I did wrong (except the parallel parking). Thanks in advance!

    My Receipt had:

    Parking, backing : Fails to adequately observe/ use caution = 10 pts

    Fails to anticipate potential hazards= 10pts

    Vehicle control : Delayed braking = 10pts

    Poor judgement approaching intersections = 10pts

    -My first mistake was that I got stopped at parallel parking because he said I backed up too close to a mailbox. If it was a regular driver they wouldn't even call it close but I understand that the examiners more strict on the distance.

    - Potential hazards I think he meant the mailbox as I was parallel parking?

    -The vehicle control or braking I don't really understand because I slowed down at all stop signs always stopping right before it into a complete stop and then go out slowly see left or right for any oncoming cars.

    - Poor judgement on intersections. I was quite unsure of this too because I was behind a car signalling left and the car made the left first and then I turned after waiting a little and checking for passing cars. Unless I was too slow?

    It's alot but I'd appreciate anyone helping me go over these mistakes.

  • Failed first road test. Tips for next one?

    As the title says I failed my first road test. I practiced a lot for it too and my nerves got to me. I failed in the most embarrassing way. I didn't even get to leave the curb at all. What happened was that I put my seat belt on and checked the mirrors and turned on the left signal to get started. I looked back and there were no cars coming and as I started to turn there was suddenly a car behind me passing. The instructor used the 2nd brake (this was a car used for student driving practice) telling me I failed saying I didn't check properly. I felt devastated I practiced and spent hours on that day getting ready and I didn't even leave the curb... Talk about horrible timing in the world there just had to be a car suddenly appearing at that moment as soon as I turned around. Worse of all I didn't even get to do any turns or parallel parking. Now I don't even get to know if I did anything right with an instructor or not. Any tips on how to do better next time? I was super nervous and probably didn't check properly in time or I rushed to get started.

  • Lump on my gum?

    I had this pinkish/reddish lump for over a week now. It's not painful but every time I eat food it swells up (on that side). If i push it, it starts to bleed and couple hours later its less noticeable and smaller. Does anyone know what kind of lump this is? I tried searching and I am not too sure because it shows several different kinds. As I said it's not painful at all it feels really soft and then it lessens when I am not eating. I currently don't have insurance and I would go to the dentist if I definitely know its serious, but if it's not painful I want to see if there a home remedy. Anyone with helpful advice is much appreciated instead of the plain old "just go to the dentist".

  • Can you get periodontitis between 2 crowns?

    Was going to head to dentist about this anyways but I just wanted to know. I have 2 crowns all the way on the back of the top left area of my mouth. The gums there when i floss is really painful when I go in deep. But I was thinking to myself if they are crowns can they still be infected? I thought they killed the nerve and the tooth from the root canal procedure. I have no trouble eating or have any pain but there are times when food get stuck up there it does cause some discomfort. Any information would be great. Thanks

  • Hamster always biting cage?

    This is an ovotrail hamster house and it's a decently good house with tubes that goes up and down but lately he's always biting the cage and looks like he is trying to escape. He doesnt run on the wheel that is inside and I put him in the hamsterball everyday for 30mins to an hour. But whenever I put him back he goes back to biting and trying to open the door. I don't know what to do for him. I give him treats and let him run around but it seems its not enough for him. I'm afraid he might lose his teeth because he bites the cage so hard. Anyone have good advice?

  • (Please help!) Hamster infection?

    http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=qwwt1v&s=8#.U8AKN_...

    This is a picture of what my hamster's leg looks like. It looks very swollen and it worries me a lot. He acts just fine, eat and drinks water. He had a scab on it a month ago and it healed over time but the leg was still a bit red. Few weeks later it became very swollen and twice as big and I dont know how he got it. I tend to notice him scratching himself sometimes though. Is this a really bad infection and should I get it checked out by the vet? Or is there a medicine I can buy for him. Please help fellow animal lovers!

  • how to tame my hamster?

    I had my hammy for 7 months now. Hes a long haired syrian hamster and I want to get a closer bond with him. I give him veges, treats to gain his trust little by little but everytime I take him out to play with him or socialize he can't sit still and always tries to run away from me. Like I see other peoples hamster and they are perfectly calm and still and I really want to know how I can get him like that. He gladly takes treats out of my hand but holding him or trying to bond with him is not really working out. I know you guys may say oh it takes a while but I've been at it for months and theres no progress. Any advice or tips ?
