  • Is it possible to break your foot without realizing it?

    So the flat part on the top of my foot, the region before my big toe and the two next to it, has been painful since monday. I felt slight discomfort when I was on the elliptical, just ignored it and finished my workout. It didn't hurt at all until later that day when I tried to stand up from the table when we were at dinner - all the sudden it was extremely painful and I couldn't walk on it.

    I figured I just tweaked it exercising, and it would be fine in a day or so, but its actually gotten worse (throbbing pain even when at rest). No bruising, but visibly swollen and painful to the touch. I have to walk on the outside of my foot so now my ankle is strained, too, lol.

    I've got a drs appt on thursday, but I'm wondering what I possibly could have done to it?!? I feel like if I had actually broken it I would have felt a specific painful event. Could it just be from overuse (I run/elliptical 7 days a week, 30-60 mins since, every day since January)? I know nothing about feet injuries, are there kinds of injuries you can get like this that aren't breakages?

  • Diarrhea after eating ice cream?

    I get a major upset stomach after eating only a small amount of ice cream - just a small spoonful will set me over the edge. I don't think I'm lactose intolerant, though, because I eat yogurt daily without a problem. Any ideas what this could be? Is ice cream just too rich?

  • What bra size am I really?

    I'm really confused about my bra size :s I usually wear a 34DD but I've lost weight and they dont fight right.

    At Victorias Secret the woman at front told me I was a 36B, but then they measured me again later and said I was definitely 34DD, even though the waist band is way too big! I tried the 32DD but the cups were too small and everything was just narrow. 34D, the cups too small, band too big.

    I went to Nordstroms and the woman there measured me and said I was a 32F. Then some of the online calculators say I'm like a 30G??

    I'm trying to buy a sports bra online and have no idea what size to get, because I've been told just about everything.

    My ribcage is 28", my bust is 34-35".

    Thoughts on what size I should buy?

  • Havent had period since January...should I be concerned?

    Hi, I'm 18 and I last had my period back in January (definitely not pregnant). I've always been regular before this. However, I've also lost about 25 lbs since Jan, and I've read that weight loss can disrupt these things. Should I be concerned/see a doctor (since I'm pretty sure I know the reason why)?

    coordinate: ∫∫sin(x2+y2)dA over the region 16<=x^2+y^2<=64

    convert to polar coordinates and solve.

    I think the integrand should be rsin(r^2)drdtheta, but I'm stuck on the limits of integration...help?

  • Read Write Locks question?

    I'm trying to implement read/write locks into my class to replace synchronization on methods.

    My question is...will I only need to add read/write locks onto methods that were synchronized? Or is it possible that some methods, that were unsynchronized when synchronization was the lock method I was using, may require read/writers?

    Thanks, hope this makes sense
