how do i know if I have athletes foot?

Question by : how do i know if I have athletes foot?
the skin between my toes is….peeling and splitting causing them to be very itchy. I’ve looked it up online but I dont seem to have a rash or anything like that. and it kinda smells. Also my feet sweat more than normal. I can’t go to a doctor because I don’t have health care. Is there anything I can do at home to fix it and do you think I have athletes foot?

Answer by Yahoo!
Sounds just like athletes foot. Get some Lamisil. When you get out the shower, dry your feet real well, and spray on and in between your toes. It’ll sting but that means it’s working. I got athletes foot at summer camp one year and would scratch so much I would take all the skin between my toes off. I used Lamisil and in 2 weeks completely gone.

Is a steroid injection appropriate remedy for an old foot injury? Side effects?

Question by Nikita: Is a steroid injection appropriate remedy for an old foot injury? Side effects?
hi All..

I had a foot injury four months ago. a fracture did not show up in the xrays done the day of injury and after 6 weeks. it never really go better and the doctor put me on a cast for 3 weeks.
its still sore. however, there is one thing – i have not been doing the contrast bath (cycles of – 1 minute in ice , 1 min rest, 1 min in hot water) for my foot regularly as the doc recommended.

Now he says he would give a steroid injection to the site of injury.

I do not know if i should go for it. Would it really help?
Or if i should wait for some time before going for it. All advice welcome.

Also I’d be glad to learn if anyone has been through anything similar and how was the experience.

Thanks.

Q&A: What should a 5 foot 4 female who is 19 years old weigh?

Question by Elle: What should a 5 foot 4 female who is 19 years old weigh?
For me this is more of a health concern than diet and fitness. I’m not overweight or anything.

Best answer:

Answer by Nessakinsbby; <3
around 120 or 130.
but remember this all differs with how people are made.
some people have bigger muscles and bones than other people so they weight more than that.

Q&A: Any idea what’s wrong with my foot?

Question by : Any idea what’s wrong with my foot?
So on Friday my foot started hurting really bad when I walked on it, and it has only gotten worse since then. It hurts around my fifth metatarsel (long bone by the pinky toe) and occationally in the arch of my foot. There’s the occational shooting pain, but it’s not very often; it’s more of a really strong ache. It hurts a little when I’m not on it, too, but nothing compared to walking on it. There’s no bruising or swelling that I can see, so I have no idea what’s going on.

After looking into it I found other people with the exact same pains and they describe it much better (on http://www.foot-health-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=88328#post88328 ), but none of them have the pain when they’re not on it. And none of them posted anything useful as to what was wrong. After reading this I did remember that I ran a lot (for me anyways) in gym class, but my foot didn’t start to hurt for hours after that.

If you have any questions, please ask and I’ll give you more details.
I don’t know if it’s helpful, but when I got home I wrapped it and it helped for maybe 5-10 minutes. After that I just took it off because it didn’t do any good.

You could of strained a tendon or muscle. I remember having similar symptoms after running down the stairs, and it turns out that’s what I did. Just rest your foot and try to put as little pressure on it as possible.

Q&A: Why is Obama always putting his foot in his mouth when he doesn’t have his teleprompter?

Question by MADDOG: Why is Obama always putting his foot in his mouth when he doesn’t have his teleprompter?
“Unemployment won’t go over 8% if stimulus is passed.”
“No lobbyists in my administration”
“The police acted stupidly”
“Health care reform will be enacted before the break”
“Like watching the special olympics”
……….
Maybe he should never leave his teleprompter at home.

Sorry, but I’d rather concentrate on his actions which prevented us from dropping into a full depression. But go ahead and keep concentrating on your inconsequential critiques. I know it’s all you have.

How much does it cost to get a deep cut on the foot cleaned up and dermabonded at a hospital?

Question by lizneth72: How much does it cost to get a deep cut on the foot cleaned up and dermabonded at a hospital?
My wife stepped on a long piece of glass when she went into the garage and when she saw it blood was gushing out of it. The cut is just a little below her pinky toe. I took her to the emergency place at the hospital and she got it x-rayed and dermabonded. She does not have health insurance because she just quit her job and a she’s just a week away from leaving to boot camp. How much would the hospital charge us?

Best answer:

Answer by Colin D
It could cost as much as 0. Thats its retail price. It’s pretty pricey. Its definitely necessary though.

Do you think my foot is broken?

Question by : Do you think my foot is broken?
It looks really swollen and it hurts with each step I take and it also hurts numbly when I’m just resting. It feels like a pang or like a “reverb” kind of pain when I walk.

This morning a really heavy doorstop fell on my foot and I have 2 spots where the wound drew blood.

Is my foot broken? I don’t have health insurance at the moment so I can’t go to get x-rays Do you think it will heal on its own?

Best answer:

Answer by mitch conner
ice and elevate until swelling goes down.

Q&A: How do you find surgeons who will do surgery for free? Especially foot surgery?

Question by sunnydaygirl: How do you find surgeons who will do surgery for free? Especially foot surgery?
I’ve tried looking on Hunter “Patch” Adams website, the doctor whose life was portrayed in the Robin Williams’ “Patch Adams” movie. He takes a nonconventional way of helping patients, and that’s a start, but I didn’t get the information I was looking for. There are a lot of people out there w/out health insurance, and surely there have GOT to be some doctors/surgeons who would be willing to take someone’s case for free, even if just for the publicity. IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE WHO KNOWS HOW TO FIND THEM? Thank you So much for any info.
