my arms and shoulders are killing me from using crutches?!?
I sprained my knee really bad and I have a full leg splint on and I have to use crutches. I've used them before but I was okay then. This time my arms are killing me, I can barely use them anymore and I have at least another two weeks to go. They are sitting where they are suppose to, I'm not resting on them, thry are not right in my arm pits, it's my arms that hurt and my shoulders. What can I do to relieve the pain? I'm suppose to use them for a month buti can't for that long, so I have 2 weeks to a month left.
2 AnswersInjuries8 years agocould I be pregnant? really sore nipples and lower abdominal?
So it's basically just my nipples that hurt, not the entire breast. It's like unbearable, they hurt so bad :( thats been going on for about a week maybe a little longer, and my stomach has hurt for three days now. It hurts to move like at all because of my stomach :(
My hubby is out of town for work so I haven't had sex in almost three months :( so if I was pregnant I'd be about three months obviously. I took two tests in August a few weeks after we had sex and they both came up negative. I haven't had my period since then but I thought nothing of it because I came off my birth control a few months before that so my period was messed up anyways. We always use protection and I know thats not 100% but we still use it. I'm also tired all the time, I seriously want to drop out of university so I can sleep all day. I'd never do that but I swear I could sleep 20 hours a day all in one shot. If I'm not pregnant what could it be? I'm freaking out! I don't feel like I do when I get my period.
4 AnswersWomen's Health8 years agoPossible causes of a fuse blowing and continuing to blow?
I've never done any work on my car, so the wiring was never touched. My dash board lights went out, and my tail lights. I replaced two blown fuses, I'm not sure what one was but it was on a wire going up to the light switch and another that is the parking lamps. Those are the only two blown fuses. The parking lamps one is the one that keeps blowing.
One thing it said to check was the license plate lights, if there is corrosion, and there isn't.
What else could be the issue? Do I need a new battery? running lamp relay need to be replaced? Like I said, I've had no additional work done. I I don't want to take it to a mechanic if it's something I can fix. I'll check everything if I have to.
thanks for the help.
2 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs8 years agoDo I need a new car battery?
How do I know?
Sometimes my car doesnt start on the first try but no problems the second try. And my dashboard, stereo, and tail lights went out today. I checked every fuse so I don't know what else it could be.
any thoughts and or suggestions?
Thanks!
6 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs8 years agoAt what point should I go to the hospital?
so I had my last two wisdom teeth removed on Monday. I have significant swelling on my face and my neck. I am also very tender. I have bruises appearing due to the swelling being so bad. I went back to the dentist on Wednesday because the swelling is 10 times worse then it was for the first two I had done and the pain is a lot worse as well. He gave me two more prescriptions for pain, naproxen and tylenol #3's, as well as a mouth wash with antibiotics in it and Amoxicillin for possible infection. Also told me not to attend school for the rest of the week.
The pain is still bad, maybe even a little worse, and the swelling is worse as well. If I do anything physical, including standing up for more then ten minutes I end up vomiting until I have nothing left in my stomach. The bruising is spreading and the pain is all around my neck now, not just the front left side. My dentist said it would take a bit for the meds to kick in and for it to start looking better. But it looks worse :/ and feels worse. Ive only been awake for a short period of time and I've thrown up four times and I'm about to again :( he said to go to the emergency room if I'm have issues breathing because of the swelling around my throat, I only have issues breathing when I'm laying down, so I don't lay down.
Should I go to the hospital? Or wait it out a few more days? I can't miss anymore school :( I'm so far behind already so I have to go starting onMonday. What should I do?
1 AnswerOther - Health8 years agoHow many fillings do you have? and how old are you?
I'm 20 now and I'm embarrassed about the number of fillings I have. But when I was younger, from about 7 to 15 years old, I would on purpose do a poor job brushing my teeth because I loved going to the dentist. The more I went the better. So I'd make myself get cavities. At 15 I moved to a new city before getting my last fillings in so I started brushing properly because I I never went back until a few weeks ago. I have those few cavities from before and a watch on a couple teeth. The watch is because I don't always floss. After I get these fillings I'll have about 10 I think.
I feel so stupid now for doing that when I was younger. I just wish I had taken better care of my teeth because I'm so embarrassed about it. All my front teeth are nice looking, it's just a few of the back ones and most of them are small.
So I was just wondering how many other people have?

3 AnswersInjuries8 years agoI got two of my wisdom teeth removed a week ago? is it normal for them to hurt still?
I got the two right teeth removed and my mouth still hurts :( my jaw and the extraction site. The top one was fully in and the bottom was half in. So my dentist was able to just pull them out. For the consult, pre extraction, extraction, and telling me how to take care of my mouth for the next week, it took less than an hour. So it was fast and easy.
The night I got them removed and the night after I got really sick when I was going to bed. I was vomiting all night. I was on t3s until yesterday, and I'm still in pain. It is tolerable but is very uncomfortable. Is this normal? Or should the pain be gone? Also when he was freezing my face it really really hurt my ear, my ear still hurts a bit.
What should I do?? :(
2 AnswersDental8 years agoWisdom teeth coming in? :(?
My two top ones are in and have been for a while now, my left bottom one hasn't started at all but the right has been coming in for some time now. It starts and then stops and its been happening for about a year now. I'm in so much pain right now :( like dying. My entire right side of my face is swollen, all my bottom teeth on the right bottom are killing me as well. This happens every time it starts to come in a little more. It's so hard for me to brush my teeth because iy kills if I touch it and the tooth paste burns it. I know I have to get them out but its so expensive :( even with coverage. I have dental through school and my parents but it still costs quite a bit :(
Is there something I can do for the pain for now? :( I'm dying. Whats the cheapest way to go about getting them removed?
1 AnswerDental8 years agoCan I use 195/65-15 tires instead of 60-15?
The recommended ones are 195 60 15 and alternative ones are 185 65 15. The set of tires that I'm going to get are 195 65 15 and they are on rims. My dad said they will work perfectly fine. I have a 2007 ford focus. I don't know much about tires and this is my first time getting winter tires. I had all seasons for the past two years since I got my car. They worked great the first year and last year they were okay for part of the winter. I spun my car though in February. so I really need tires! Haha.
Would these ones be okay to get?
6 AnswersSafety8 years agoMy fish literally swim up the filter tube?
My fish are actually swimming up the filter. My brother watched one do it yesterday and I had to unplug it and get him out of the tube. I think he's dying now though, something must have been damaged. When i first got my fish too one of them swam up it and I watched it go over and literally start swimming up the tube and I panicked that time and wasn't able to save it. Why are they doing this?
Too much finding nemo? Haha
5 AnswersFish8 years agoMy mosquito bites are horrible?
I have such a bad reaction to mosquito bites. And they LOVE me, they swarm me my boyfriend got bit ONCE tonight and they flew up my pants and I literally got at least 50 bites tonight in a period of less then two hours. They swell up so much and itch like crazy for days. They are so bad this year they have been biting my face so they are all over my face too.

I've tried tea tree oil for theitching, I've tried bathing with different things in the bath, I've had a cold shower, hot shower, cold cloths, hot cloths, and allergy meds :( nothing helps. Nothing at all :( should I go to the doctor? Or does anyone have any suggestions?
Please help me! I'm going crazy :(
2 AnswersSkin Conditions8 years agoWhy does my blanket stink? :(?
I literally just pulled it out of the dryer and it smells almost like feet! :( its awful! It was fine before I put it in the wash, I just wash all my sheets and blankets often. I've had this blanket most of my life, I got it when I was six So I've had it for fifteen years. I've never had this problem before the entire time I've had it. I don't know if its from the washer or dryer but our new dryer is the devil. Its wrecked two of my shirts and a pair of my panties. But I don't know what the smell is :( the rest of my stuff is fine, just the one blanket stinks. I love this blanket and I hate sleeping without it but the smell is so gross. I washed it twice now :( what will get the smell out?
2 AnswersCleaning & Laundry8 years agoMy fiances grandma hates me?
I've never even met his grandma :( but she hates me. She's never liked me for whatever reason. My fiancé and I both believe that she has no reason to hate me. I'm intelligent, beautiful, loving, caring, supportive and so much more so I have no idea why she hates me when she hasn't even met me. My fiance has never had a good relationship with his grandma and he said that she has always treated him like crap and he feels like she hates him. His grandpa died yesterday and now she is making it very clear to his entire family that she hates me :( she basically controls his parents so now they are not too fond of me even though they loved me before. I'm so torn up about this. Its literally killing me. I'm physically sick :'( I've been throwing up all day because of this and I have the worst migraine.
Terrified of losing him. I can't go through that. The worst part about it is that he's in Phoenix right now for work and has been for the past couple months :'( we live in Calgary. I don't know what he's feeling other then like crap. The girl that he loves more than anything in the world is hated by his grandma. His family treats him like ****, all the time. The only thing I've ever seen him cry about is the way he gets treated by his family. I'm the one consitant thing in his life but his family now wants him to have nothing to do with me now. And I dont know why, I've done nothing wrong. The only thing I can think of is maybe she's pissed because I want to wait to get married until I'm done my degree so I can get a good job first. I know they would be pissed for a while but maybe if he flew back here for a weekend we could go get married just him and I. Then they would learn to accept me again and his choices. And if they don't then tough luck, we were planning on moving away after anyways and we will start our own family and if they want to be apart of it then they need to respect our choices.
I really don't know what to do but I need some advice.
3 AnswersFamily8 years agoWould rollerblading be good exercise?
I have a bad knee and running is really hard on it especially with hills, and same with my shoulder/collar bone. I'm just in a lot of pain after and its a bad pain not good. If I were to take up rollerblading for a couple months would that be good exercise (weight loss) since I injured my knee I've put on a bit of weight and its starting to bother me. But I find it so hard to run everyday but I could skate everyday I think. I know id have to skate for longer then if I were running but I can only run maybe once every week or two because of how much pain I'm in after I run and I can't push through it because if I put too much stress on my knee it starts to give out and that's the last thing I need when I'm running is to fall.
So if I were to skate for twice as long as I would run, would that be good exercise for a couple months? Would I see results with weight? Then I would slowly Start running again since skating would help get more strength in my knee, but I still wouldnt run everyday, just a couple days a week and probably still skate.
Thanks!
2 AnswersDiet & Fitness8 years agoMy skin gets so irritated after shaving?
So my skin gets so irritated after I shave :( and its bad for three or four days after. My bikini line is so bad :( I tried waxing but its painful for nothing really because it doesn't get all the hair out in the first shot so it sucks :( can you suggest any really good hair removal creams? That will work for bikini line as well? And that will last more then a day, I can't stand having to shave everyday for my legs to look good. Something for coarse hair just to make sure it will all come out....
I really don't know what to do. I'm a student so getting waxed professionally all the time isn't going to happen, I can't afford it. I'm just so tired of my skin being so irritated all the time, plus when I shave I can't manage to get all the hair off too. It drives me crazy :( when my fiance touches my legs I want them to be soft everywhere, I don't want him to touch random patches of hair.
2 AnswersSkin Conditions8 years agoExtremely bad lower back pain on the left side?
I get really really bad lower back pain right around where my left kidney is. Ive been to three different doctors multiple times over the last three years. The pain started after I stopped playing sports because I broke my elbow. I've had my kidneys checked so its nothing to the with them. I've been told its a pinched nerve and the pain will go away. But it never has it just feels better after doing nothing but laying in bed for two days but I can't keep doing that. I think I just need to build up the muscles again there and I'll be fine but the pain is too much to go to the gym. Most days I can barely walk because it hurts so much. I've tried working through the pain but this is a bad pain not good. I've been reading on the internet that a steroid shot is common treatment for this. Should I ask if that is an option? It'll help with the pain for the time being and help me build muscle again. I can go to the gym if I can't feel the pain as much. I've been paying for a gym membership for a year and a half and I've gone twice because I can't take the pain :( I really want to get back in shape but this is really holding me back, I use to be so active :(
I've had pain medication that has done absolutely nothing for me so do you think this would be a good option if my doctor okays it? I just need something :( it hurts so much and nothing I've tried helps :(
Thanks for the help
2 AnswersPain & Pain Management8 years agoHow do I build a probability matrix from this information?
A study on ethics in the workplace by the Ethics Resource Center and Kronos, Inc., revealed that 35% of employees admit to keeping quiet when they see coworker misconduct. Suppose 70% of employees who admit to keeping quiet when they see coworker misconduct call in sick when they are well. In addition, suppose that 41% of the employees who call in sick when they are well admit to keeping quiet when they see coworker misconduct. If an employee is randomly selected, determine the following probabilities:
Let’s use KQ for keep quiet and CS for call in sick
We have
P(KQ) = 0.35
Next 70% of those who KQ ALSO CS
P(CS|KQ) they call in sick given that they also keep quiet
41% who CS ALSO KQ
P(KQ|CS) they keep quiet given that they also call in sick
1 AnswerHomework Help8 years agoMy boyfriend pays my tuition, what do we do when it comes to tax time?
So my boyfriend paid most of my tuition, so when hes doing his taxes should he have the form from paying my tuition? He said he doesn't need it though because his work pays for everything. So I'm not sure. And what about my textbooks? I bought some of them online so I don't have the receipts from them, do I have to have them?
