1 AnswerHigher Education (University +)5 years agoI can't put pressure on my hand??
I had my first tumbling practice today so I was doing cartwheels and back handsprings and all that and I literally thought I almost broke my wrist like 5 times but whatever and then my hand was kind of sore afterwards but now I noticed that I can't press down with my hand while bending my wrist without pain in the middle / top of my hand. No pain in my palm or swelling or bruising. Any ideas?
2 AnswersPain & Pain Management5 years agoHELP!!! HOW CAN I GROW MY HAIR?!?
I have curly/wavy hair&I am a 15,white female (Someone said ethnicity effects my texture)I cut my hair pretty regularly&kept it shoulder length until July2012 then I stopped cutting it&it grew to my waist almost.I have been straightening my hair everyday since 2012&I was too dumb to use heat protectant spray.My hair was very long&it was healthy until November 2014 I got lice&the treatments thinned my hair&it got shorter to like between my belly button&boobs still.I started dyeing my hair blonde in Aug2014&I didn't use bleach.I only dye my hair once every 2months. In Dec2014 I asked for a trim,half an inch or less or less&then asked if I wanted layers&I said no.But the woman cut my hair to up above my boobs!I freaked out&she had this attitude&said she would do what she thought made me look good&then she gave me layers without me knowing.since then my hair hasn't grown AT ALL&it's actually way more damaged.Somebody said that she damaged my hair cuticle.I've watched so many videos on how to grow your hair&NOTHING works!I don't think it has even grown 1inch since I cut it 10months ago.I use bambú cream,Nexxus split end binding cream,keratin oil.I used shampoos&conditioners that claim to help restore hair and make it grow.I'm also using Argon oil&renewing argon oil of morocco shampoo but I only started a week ago.Maybe I'll try inversion method.I didn't straighten my hair all summer&started washing my hair every other day.I would stop straightening it all together if it was long.
3 AnswersHair6 years agoWhat type of colleges suit me?
What I'm trying to say is, somebody with a 4.0 GPA who participated in loads of activities would be Ivy Legue material. But what am I? I'm only a freshman but I'd just like a general idea. So this year I had exactly 3.571 GPA sometimes a little higher. So I have between a 90-91 average most of the time. This marking period I'll have a 95 average though. I've been exempt from 1 final and are about to be exempt from 2 or 3 more. So basically, I took 9 classes this year but only 7 had finals and and by years end I will have gotten exempt from 3 or 4 of their finals. My grades keep improving and I'm determined to keep this 95 average again next year. I participate in cross country, track, and I'm looking to get back into cheerleading. I took an art class but I'm not sure if that's really considered much of an activity. Without taking my career interest into consideration, what colleges would take me?
1 AnswerHigher Education (University +)6 years agoOrthopedic Technician college?
Hello, I am quite interested in being an orthopedic technician. However, I can't seem to find much on what colleges would be good for this, how long you need to attend college, what to study, salaries, etc. Does anyone have some insight on this? Thanks!
3 AnswersHealth Care6 years agoI am really sick! What's wrong?!?
Last night I felt like I had sunburn on my face but I ignored it because it's the middle of winter, -2 degrees Fahrenheit, and snowing. So I woke up this morning with just a stuffy & runny nose. I made myself coffee and had cookie crisp and Reese's cereal. I only had a few sips of coffee and didn't even eat half the cereal. About a half hour in I began to feel really nauseous. I ended up puking 6 times. My face & neck is broken out in little red pimples, my stomach hurts, sometimes I'm light headed, and I feel the urge to vomit again!
2 AnswersOther - Health6 years agoHow tall will I be?
So I'm a 14 year old female. I'm about 5ft1 tall so far. My mum is 5ft2 and both my grandmums are 5ft3 & 5ft4. My dad is 6ft3, his dad is 6ft3, and my great grandmum was 6ft before she shrunk due to old age. But my mums dad is only 5ft10. When I had an x-ray they said I'm definitely still growing quite a bit. I also take after my dads side way more than my mums and he has the really tall gene. But since I'm so short, I really don't know how tall I'm going to be. I haven't had a growth spurt yet either. Please answer :)
4 AnswersAdolescent7 years agoWhat would my baby look like?
I'm just really interested in genetics so I wanted to ask this. So I'm a strawberry blonde/ginger and my boyfriend has very dark brown hair. We both have curly thick hair. He has blue eyes & I have gray eyes. He has tan skin due to his Italian heritage but I never have a tan due to my Irish/British heritage. He's 5ft5 (we aren't done growing cause we're young and like I said I'm asking this purely due to my interests in genetics) but everyone is family is 5ft11 to 6ft. I'm only 5ft2 but my doctor told me I could grow another 6 inches possibly. My dads family (even women) are somewhere between 5ft10 an 6ft3 but my moms family is extremely short and you're lucky if you reach 5ft10(even the males). I think that's all. Off left stuff out let me know and just guess I guess I don't know. :)

My grandparents, my friend, and I all would love to go to London. It doesn't have to be this summer, however you can't really look at flights yet for summer 2015. My grandparents would like to spend around 700 dollars per ticket. I can't find anything for less than 1,000! Can you tell me what websites to use or what airline to fly to get around 700 per ticket? Thanks!
4 AnswersAir Travel7 years agoDid I tear my meniscus?
So on April 18th I was playing soccer with my friends. I was running to make a goal when I heard her yell "ow!" Behind me. While I was running I turned to the side quickly to look behind me at her and I felt a pop in my knee. It hurt but I kept running until I made a goal. My knee then gave out and I fell down. We started walking home and I had to limp pretty badly. I just could not walk. So once I got home I borrowed my grandpas crutches. The pain was bad but it became almost like a numb/tingly pain in my knee. It was incredibly painful so I kept using the crutches and putting ice on it. The next day the pain was still really bad but I forced myself to walk which ended up being a terrible decision. My knee swelling returned and I couldn't walk so I had to be absent from school the next day. I went to see my orthopedic doctor and she felt my knee. My tendon was leaning towards the side of my knee rather than underneath. She confirmed that I had swelling and sent me to get an X-ray. I got my results within 10 minutes and they told me my bones or fine but I really need an MRI. They gave me a "J brace" and told me I have to wear it 24/7 unless I'm sleeping or taking a shower. It's been just about two weeks now and I won't get my MRI results until Tuesday. I can't walk more than 5 feet without my brace, I still have intense pain, I can't run or jump, etc. I can barely even bend my leg to 90 degrees. Please help!

1 AnswerInjuries7 years agoDoes a torn meniscus require surgery?
So today I want to the doctor and apparently my meniscus is out of place and he thinks it may be torn. I'm getting an MRI next week but everyone is pretty sure I tore it. Will I need surgery? If not, what will the recovery process be like. Therapy? Crutches? Etc.
1 AnswerInjuries7 years agoIs my dream going to come true?
This may seem crazy, but every night for about 4 months I have had a dream that my boyfriend got hurt. It's the same story just more detailed and in-depth each night. The dream is my boyfriend playing soccer and he gets injured and tears his ACL. It just started that way but every night it goes farther. Like right now the dream starts with that and ends with him recovering. His first soccer game for this season is approaching and when he told me I was happy but I kept having anxiety attacks when he brought It up. I'm not worried so I don't see why I should have anxiety attacks. It's all 100% realistic. I have déjà vu way more often too. My mom is very into psychology and she believes in psychics and believes she is one, but I never was very into that. In open to the idea of psychics being real however. Does this make me a psychic? Is he really going to get hurt? After all he has told me he's not as good at soccer because he become out of shape over the winter. Not out of shape in a fat way, he's skinny, just less muscular. Please help. And don't say it's my inner anger to him or something cause I've heard that before and believe me, I'm not angry with him in the slightest.
1 AnswerPsychology7 years agoDo I need surgery? What is my injury?

Over a year ago I fell down the stairs. My knee twisted an I fell and landed on my knee. It was swollen and hurt. I had an X-ray and the only thing they found was liquid behind my knee. My doctor didn't tell me until after months of pain I went to him again and he had me go for an MRI. The MRI showed nothing. I had blood work done and once again nothing. I've re injured it since then due to cheerleading and it's swollen a lot. The pain is so bad an its really week. It's been swollen 3 days straight now. The pain is from either my ankle to my knee or from my knee to my hip. Currently it's from my knee to my hip and swollen. I'm seeing and orthopedic surgeon Monday.

1 AnswerInjuries7 years agoWhy do I feel this way? Am I in love?
So i'm in 8th grade and last year I got my first real boyfriend. You know, like a first/teenage love type thing? Well we dated for 4 months and 17 days. That's the longest relationship that I've had so far. He was my first kiss, we hugged everyday, we kissed a lot, he bought be roses, a teddy bear, a bracelet, and chocolates. He helped me out through some of the toughest things I've experienced so far in my life. Well now its been 9 months since we broke up and I still love him. I tell myself I don't but i do. My heart legitimately hurts because I miss him that much. I think about him everyday. He knows how I feel but he doesn't care because his new girlfriend told him lies about me. I just don't know what to do? Why do i feel this way? I can't even listen to songs that I listened to while I was dating him. I can't look at pictures I took or things I posted during our relationship. It hurts so much. Why am I feeling this way? Will it ever go away?
