Question 1

when i fully extend my right arm i feel tightness in my elboe. what?

Accepted Answer

Need exam: Without exam, it is impossible to give you an accurate dx for your concerns.

Make an apt with your health care provider and they will give you answer and treatment.

Question 2

i injured my nose..........how do i know if its broken or not? i injured my nose while playing volleyball, when i injured it i heard like a crack sound. my nose looks crooked but i can still breath through it, i didn't bleed at all when i injured it eithe

Accepted Answer

The : The main issue when deciding if there is a nasal bone fracture is to determine if there is a new deviation of the nose. This can be complicated by the fact that there could be asymmetric swelling after the injury which can give the appearance of nasal deviation. Many times a stepoff of the nasal bones can be felt during an exam as well. In some cases an x-ray may help but in general i don't find this as important as the physical exam.

If there is a fracture of the nasal bones it is usually best to have them repositioned within about 10 days of the injury (if you want it treated). After that time the bones begin to set in their new position and it is more complicated to straighten the nose once the bones have fully healed.

Question 3

when am i due?

Accepted Answer

40 weeks: Your due date is calculated 40 weeks after the first day of your last menstrual period.  If you are unsure, it can be estimated by an ultrasound.   The earlier in pregnancy, the more accurate an ultrasound is at predicting your due date.

Question 4

when can i see someone ?

Accepted Answer

Virtual consult: whenever you want.  Do a virtual consult live or inbox.

Question 5

when should i take pills?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: This is impossible for anyone to answer without knowing what pills you are talking about!

Question 6

when should i do feedings?

Accepted Answer

When baby is hungry!: Babies who are otherwise healthy are pretty good self-regulators; they'll let you know when they need to eat and when they are full. Most babies will feed every 2 to 3 hours or so, but this is quite variable - and it changes over time. Some newborns seem to do well feeding every 4 to 5 hours and some seem to need fed every 1 to 2 hours. Discuss your routine with your pediatrician.

Question 7

when will i start showing?

Accepted Answer

Everyone's different: Everyone will "show" differently depending on their body type. There is no real normal. At 12 weeks the uterus is just above the pubic bone. At 20 weeks it reaches your belly button. Some people will show earlier and some later. Both are normal.

Question 8

when will there be a cure?

Accepted Answer

For what?: More "cures" are developed every day. Smallpox has been virtually eradicated, aids is now treatable. But new problems continually arise- epidemic obesity, type ii diabetes, etc. Medical therapy continues to look for cures, and more importantly, prevention....

Question 9

when will i begin to show?

Accepted Answer

20 weeks: It depends on your height and weight, but usually you begin to show by 20 weeks of pregnancy.

Question 10

when will i start to show?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It really depends on your height and weight, your muscle tone, and how many children you have had.  Some people show as early as three months, some don't show until 7 months.
