male_spud Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 question po...i sprained (rolled in) my ankle six weeks ago.did R.I.C.E. on the first 24 hours, then i went to the doctor the following day. i had to because this is the worst sprained ankle i had in my whole life... i couldn't even put a little pressure on it.x-ray was clean and doctor put cast on it after 2 more days. doctor said that the swelling was too much and he wanted it a little smaller before molding the cast on my ankle.had the cast for less than two weeks because it was irritating me a lot! i can walk properly now and move my ankle in any directions (stretching exercises), but there's still a small bump around my outer ankle.i wanna start playing basketball or at least jogging again soon. am i good to go? or should i start worrying already? do i need to visit my doctor again? thanks guys! if it's a really bad sprain then there could have been a partial tear of the tendon... you might consider trying starting with activities and exercises which aren't that heavy on the ankles. try some walking in the pool or cycling first. 6 weeks is okay for a mild sprain which is essentially just a stretch of your tendons/ligaments but a partial tear would take longer to heal.

The only thing wrong with the results is the slightly elevated cholesterol level, all things seem normal. The cholesterol level is a result of your diet and possibly your genes. Since it is near the border of normal, diet and lifestyle modification will probably put things back to normal. There is no cause of immediate alarm. O sige, awayin mo na Girlfriend mo ulit. Haha!

songster Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 any person experience allergy to baby oil for lubricant? Quote Link to comment
otitismedia Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 any person experience allergy to baby oil for lubricant? baby oil is not recommended lubricant , it may lead to yeast infection for your partner and yes some person/s are allergic to it. if you have no choice but to use baby oil, then may i suggest that you wash your organ with soap and water after the deed or better yet use water based lubricant to be safe.

(from 243 down to 165 lbs). main problem is belly area. thanks for any infos you could provide.thanks. good day to you sir ! how i wish there is someone who can invent a machine that can "REALLY" remove or lessen saggy skin... unfortunately there is none contrary to all the "media hype" of drs so and so. if there is a machine that can effectively remove these sagging skin, then you'll probably be meeting let's say 80 yrs old person looking like 30 0r 40 yrs old.... the only way to remove the sagging skin from your belly is by surgery (for now). but if you have the money to "waste" then by all means you can try some of the machine and let us know if it is effective or not. :cool: Quote Link to comment
werr_dx2133 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 uhmm lately ang nakikita kong lumalabas sakin na sperm eh konti na lang ung white colored liquid puro clear na lang nalabas ibig sabihin nun low ang sperm count ko at mahirap na makabuntis? Quote Link to comment
otitismedia Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 uhmm lately ang nakikita kong lumalabas sakin na sperm eh konti na lang ung white colored liquid puro clear na lang nalabas ibig sabihin nun low ang sperm count ko at mahirap na makabuntis? maybe you are using it too frequently, try to abstain for a couple of days and see what happens....you must have it analyze in the lab to know if you have low sperm count... i think 3 days to 5 days abstinence is needed before you collect your sperm for analysis....

DolphyXXX Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Question lang po... ano po ang tinatawag na "scarlet fever"...kasi un daw ang sakit ng anak ko sabi ng duktor... thanks! Quote Link to comment
mwah Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Question lang po...ano po ang tinatawag na "scarlet fever"...kasi un daw ang sakit ng anak ko sabi ng duktor...thanks! Ang pagkakaalala ko ang "scarlet fever" ay isang sakit na ang sanhi ay group A beta hemolytic streptococcus. Usually nagsisimula sa sore throat pagkatapos nagkakaroon ng lagnat at rashes. Kadalasan na ginagamit na gamot ay Penicillin at Erythromycin pa rin. Ang binabantayan sa scarlet fever ay ang mga complications tulad ng pneumonia, meningitis at ang pagkalat ng infection sa dugo (sepsis). Sana'y nasa mas mabuti nang kalagayan ang anak mo.

Thanks In Advance... best thing to do is to have it check right away(so you will know if it's caused by viral/bacterial/foreign body/etc.....)don't/avoid scratching your eyes, don't use your hanky to wipe your eyes use disposable napkins or tissue paper, wash your hands with soap and water after touching your eyes.....

sir_lancelot Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Hello medical peeps, just wanted to ask a very urgen question needing urgent answer. My wife had her ultrasound last tuesday to see if she really is pregnant and kung buhay yung bata. After the routine pinakita sa akin na yung bata is halos 2 months an yung babay based sa ultrasound (1 month and 1 week i think!) resulta nung ultrasound revealed a fetus PERO alang yolk sac at alang heart beat! My questions are, What are the chances of survival?? Consequences? Alternatives and choices? Please medical peeps, I badly need an accurate answer I could depend on... :cry: Thank you!

My questions are, What are the chances of survival?? Consequences? Alternatives and choices? Please medical peeps, I badly need an accurate answer I could depend on... :cry: Thank you! Lancelot, What is the size of the gestational sac? what is the length of the fetal pole? The yolk sac begins to be seen on ultrasound by the 5th week of pregnancy. This is different from the gestational sac which is seen earlier. If the yolk sac cannot be visualized at a time that the gestational sac has grown more than 12 mm, then the chances for fetal viability is less. With regards to the fetal heart beat, if it is not yet appreciated at a time that the fetal pole is greater than 4mm, then the chances for a viable fetus is also less. I suggest you confer this with your obstetrician. Easy. Quote Link to comment
