Old Injury “Acting Up” Is There Anything I Can Do, Like Stretches or Something, to Relieve the Pain?

Question by fluffyunleashed: Old Injury “Acting Up” Is there anything I can do, like stretches or something, to relieve the pain? Last summer I tore my Meniscus (not sure if I spelled that right cartilage in my knee) and I went to physical therapy, but they told me it may act up every now and then. And it has, like once every three months or so. Today it’s been hurting a little bit more then the previous times so I was wondering are there any stretches or stuff I can do to help relieve the pain. Read more... ...

In June of 2011, I Fell Forward and Hyperextended/twisted My Knee. Immediately Following the Fall…?

Question by LNC: In June of 2011, I fell forward and hyperextended/twisted my knee. Immediately following the fall…? there was a lot of swelling and severe pain. I couldn’t really walk. The severe pain and swelling lasted about 5 days, but for at least 3 months following there was still severe pain whenever I straightened my leg too quickly or too far; the same with bending it. Eventually the severe pain went away, but whenever I worked out or did something too fast or too much, I would get a sharp pain. About 8 months after the fall, I went to my doctor. He performed some tests and could feel that something was up, so I got an x-ray and an MRI, but nothing showed up on the those, so I let it go. I am a collegiate level athlete and my knee still bothers me. I didn’t go to the hospital in the first place because I am an athlete who couldn’t afford an injury, but now it’s still bothering me. What should I do? Read more... ...

I’ve Been Billed 8 Thousand Dollars for an Erroneous “Legal Hold” – My Civil Rights Were (And Are Bei Violated?

Question by Red: I’ve been billed 8 thousand dollars for an erroneous “legal hold” – my civil rights were (and are bei violated? I was seeking psychological advice and a therapist because I was having issues focusing on school and with *some* (a little bit of) depression. I somehow got a number for a certain psychiatric hospital – West Hills, in Reno NV – but I didn’t know it was a psychiatric hospital — I was just given the number by someone. So I called and explained that I was trying to see a therapist, and they said they could help me out. To make a long story short, the person I spoke to did not have a right to put me on a legal hold but the paper was signed by someone I hadn’t spoken to. All I said was that I had had suicidal thoughts in the past. That’s it. Read more... ...
