Question 1

what is the most common outcome of a broken in half, in the middle perfectly of the 5th metacarsal boone in my foot? short + long term prognosis-truth

Accepted Answer

Depends: Healing depends on the type of fracture and any surrounding soft tissue injury, what treatment was given, did it require surgery, how well the bone heals etc. Without information to the contrary, i  don't know why is would not heal entirely.  It may take a while, several months, to feel up to full activity.

Question 2

went hiking in daniel boone forest a year ago ,didn't get the rabies vaccine beforehand. i knowit has bats.not sure of exposure. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

No rabies exposure: Just hiking doesn't count as a 'rabies exposure'. Primarily rabies is transmitted from the bite of a rabid animal. Very rarely, a scratch is enough to do the job. If you didn't come into contact with any animals, then you are at zero risk of rabies. Your immune system actually is working in the background all the time, so I would trust that... True bats may transmit rabies but you were not exposed

Question 3

is shaving risk-free?

Accepted Answer

Mostly: If you use clean shavers and stick to your own without borrowing them,  it is pretty much safe.  There is a risk in those with very curly hair that close shaving may cause the hair to grow into the skin causing focal pustules and diffuse acne.   There is no harm in having the hairs cut off by shaving except perhaps under the taliban.
