National passion seeps into crisis fashion
By Sophie Hardach
PARIS (Reuters) - You could call it fashionalism. At a Vivienne Westwood show, buyer Amanda Ware lists new trends she has spotted in London: quirky hats, trendy scarves -- and British-made designer accessories featuring the Union Jack.
Several fashion buyers visiting this month's Paris shows reported a jump in nationalist purchases, especially in London, which before the economic crisis prided itself on being the capital of multicultural style.
"I think it's this whole Britishness thing," said Ware, who buys accessories for luxury store Fortnum & Mason in London. In the boom years, the French and Italian brands she stocks were more popular than British ones, she said. That has changed.
Ware has adjusted her purchases accordingly, buying visibly British accessories such as a Paul Smith scarf with a London city print, which she expects to do well despite the general retail slump.
"There's been a lot of support for both Vivienne Westwood and Paul Smith, it's been the strongest this season," she said.
"Vivienne Westwood is more tartan, Paul Smith is strong with the Union Jack. It's really flown over the past 8-12 weeks."
From workers protesting against foreigners taking jobs to governments bailing out failing local industries, fashion executives point to a global wave of nationalist protests and policies since the world economy turned sharply down.
The World Bank said in a report this month that since last November, 17 of the G20 nations had implemented measures whose effect is to restrict trade at the expense of other countries. Continued...

Just your typical no frills do nothing but go far 2 piece golf ball. I hit pretty much everything in the Wilson/Wilson Staff line and I enjoy each product. If you're a beginner or someone like myself that just wants to hit a golf ball on the cheap these days, you can do much worse for your money. At roughly .50 cents a ball it's a great deal for a ball to bomb around your course. But don't expect much else.
Got a box in before my last two rounds of the season. They feel better than Wilson's smart core balls (which I like). Never thought I'd play Wilson's but I'm really glad I tried them out. Worth every penny!!
Love these balls at this price
good product for a good price
Good price

Besides, I want to let another side of my personality to my readers, which I like showing my sides to people in order to be realistic! I want to address and bring a lot of enlightment to the immature people who think that there is something wrong with a person who doesn't talk to them!
What do I mean by this!? It's when an individual treats a person like crap, or by saying downgrading words and to stab that person in the back, or sereverly getting on a person's nerves on purpose for their enjoyment,but at the same time,that individual expects conversation out from that person! Whenever the person doesn't talk to that indvidual due to their ways, some individuals get mad and throw a fit, and say, " how come you refuse to talk to me? You're not talkative! You don't like me!What your problem?! Do you hate me?!"
These are signs that particular person is very immature and someone who is two-faced! Two-faced people act this way, which they remind me of the villian from the cartoon Batman! They act one way, but they want to act another way! In addition, these types of people can also be as the weather! You don't know what you are going to get! A happy smiling sun-shine face, or a tornando of terror that tears and backstabbs every thing in it's path!
Why doesn't that person want to talk to me
Before going to this answer, I like to be real!When it's someone I don't like, I am not going to sit down, and have a conservation with that indvidual! I don't care if it's an employee, or someone in my family, or someone else I know!
Besides, what is the purpose of sitting down with a person whom you don't like, and chat with them? No purpose at all! If there was a purpose, that would indicate that I would be living a lie, and being a fake! That's acting as the hypocritical role!
Now, let's talk business! The reason why a person who doesn't like an individual and talk with him or her it's probably because that individual has a bad attitude, and is smart alec! That person doesn't have time to be around an individual who act as a smart alec, and their atittude stinks because he or she doesn't want it rubbing offf on him or her!
Another reason that person doesn't want to talk to you! It's because of imaturity! That person doesn't have time to for the two-faced mentality to rub off on them, this is why they get out off your presence quickly! That person doesn't have time for immature people because he or she doesn't want that presence of imaturity to jump on them!
However, a person who doesn't like nor want to talk to an individual, it means that he or she doesn't have time to be around their stinkin attitude , their two-facedness, their immaturity, and their drama! It's just as simple as that! It means that individual has a problem!!!!Not that person, but that indivdual has a problem! If that offends you, that means you need to examine yourself!
Final word
For those who have mindet of not talking to a person whom they like, I really give you cheers, because you are being honest and for real! That's the right attitude! Besides, I enjoy people like that because it's realness!
Until the next blog, have a great evening!

Can growing up with pets prevent allergies?
Today we're tackling childhood allergies to pets — and whether those allergies can be prevented by early exposure. We touched base with Deborah Pockross, M.D., an allergist and immunologist at Kenilworth Medical Associates in Illinois to get the facts: Thinkstock PETFINDER: How can parents know if their child is developing …

This is the beginning of Plan B? God Help Us. How fast can we get to Plan C?
The St. Louis Cardinals traded left-hander reliever, Ray King to Colorado on Wednesday night for outfielder Larry Bigbie and infielder Aaron Miles.
For Cardinal fans who saw St. Louis', Plan A, (The A stood for AWFUL) going after A.J. Burnett and Brian Giles, turning into a total disaster. A disaster in that the Cardinals wasted significant time and energy in the pursuit of players that they never did have a chance to sign, nor should they have signed in the first place.
Actually Cardinal fans should give thanks to the Toronto Blue Jays and San Diego Padres for sparing St. Louis of those insane contracts that were given to Brian Giles and A.J. Burnett.
Speaking of insanity, now St. Louis moves onto Plan B, (Apparently the B stands for BAD) and now we see one of the best left-handed relievers in baseball being traded to the Rockies for a couple of, as far as I'm concerned, a couple of glorified AAA ball players.
King was 4-4 with a 3.38 ERA in 77
relief appearances for the Cardinals last season. After not appearing in the
playoffs he demanded in the media to be traded. Despite the reports that all
parties had kissed and made up, King gets his demand and is traded to
Colorado, or why don't we just say, given to Colorado, that is what it basically comes down to.
If I had made this deal with Walt Jocketty, my mom would make me give King back. She wouldn't let her own son, take advantage of someone like this.
If I had made this deal with Walt Jocketty, my mom would make me give King back. She wouldn't let her own son, take advantage of someone like this.
"We're very excited to add a left-handed pitcher of Ray's caliber to our bullpen," Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd said. "He brings a veteran presence to the later innings of a game, and his track record speaks for itself."
In return, for King, the Cardinals get Larry Bigbie, who was traded from Baltimore to Colorado for outfielder Eric Byrnes on July 29. Bigbie hit a combined .239 with five homers and 23 RBIs for the Rockies and Orioles.
23 RBIs in Colorado, so much for the benefit of the Rocky Mountain air. Where is this guy going to play? Springfield AA?
Bigbie hit .212 at Colorado, and please stop trying to put a spin on it, by reporting the combined batting average of .239. Not that a .239 batting average is going to impress most of the fans of Cardinal Nation. How about an on base percentage of .257 and a slugging percentage of .258? Now that I think about it, playing at AA Springfield may even be a stretch.
But wait there is more, Aaron Miles, who started 69 games at second base for the Rockies, batted .281 with two home runs and 28 RBIs in 99 games last season. Miles a career minor leaguer, spent nine years in the minors before his break out season in 2004.
He led major league rookies at the age of 27, in 2004 with 153 hits and 75 runs scored and led the National League rookies with a .293 batting average.
While we of course wish him the best of luck, Miles is not coming in and going to be the Cardinals second basemen and he certainly isn't going to bat leadoff. His .281 batting average you could almost live with, but an on base percentage of .306 from last season, does not project you as a possible top of the lineup batter.
Miles will be lucky to make the team as a member of the bench, and the problem with that is, Miles is limited at playing at second base and cannot or should say has not played shortstop or third.
In a bull market for relievers, especially left-handers, the Cardinals trade away Ray King, one of the best in the game, who in 447 career games for the Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee, Atlanta and St. Louis, is 18-18 with a 3.12 ERA for a couple of glorified AAA players.
I can only reason, that the Plan A and Plan B that the Cardinals are executing is an effort to sell more beer.
It's working, I just downed a six-pack of Bud Lite after hearing of this deal.
Why wasn't a rumor of this deal not reported by the Birdhouse earlier. Basically because no one would have believed it.
This deal is so BAD, that the Associated Press waited until midnight to report it - I waited until I finished my six pack.

NY MTA Chief Says Railroads Need To Work Together To Overcome Maxed-Out Hudson River Crossings
(New York, NY -- WNYC) New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority Chairman Joe Lhota told a conference of transportation professionals that the only hope for moving more people under the Hudson River between Manhattan and New Jersey is for the area's commuter railroads to set aside their traditional enmity and work better together.
His remarks came after a presentation showing rapid growth in New Jersey's commuter population has maxed out rush hour crossings — both transit and vehicular — and that relief in the form of a proposed Gateway Rail Tunnel won't arrive until 2025. If it arrives.
Which raised the question: what to do in the meantime?
Lhota tossed out three ideas, each aimed at boosting capacity at Penn Station in Manhattan, the hemisphere's busiest railroad station and a terminal for New Jersey Transit trains.
He said the station's 21 platforms should all be made to accommodate 10-car trains, which would mean lengthening some of them. He also said that the railroads using the station—Amtrak, New Jersey Transit and Long Island Rail Road—should do a better job of sharing platform and tunnel space.
Each railroad currently controls a third of the platforms, which sometimes leads to one railroad having too many trains and not enough platforms at the same time another railroad has empty platforms. The railroads also vie with each other for access to tunnels during peak periods. Lhota said capacity would be boosted if dispatchers in the station's control room could send any train to any platform, and through any tunnel, as they saw fit.
Lhota's third suggestion was the most ambitious. He said the three railroads—plus the MTA's Metro-North line, which connects Manhattan to Connecticut and several downstate New York counties—should use each other's tracks. In other words, trains should flow throughout the region in a way that sends them beyond their historic territory. For example, a train from Long Island could arrive in Penn Station and, instead of sitting idly until its scheduled return trip, move on to New Jersey. That way, trains would spend less time tying up platforms, boosting the station's capacity.
The practice is called "through-running." It happens already when NJ Transit trains carry football fans on game day from New Haven, Connecticut, through Penn Station to Secaucus, where passengers transfer to a shuttle that takes them to MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands.
Lhota says more trains crossing borders would make for a truly regional and efficient system. But first the railroads must cooperate. "Right now, we're as Balkanized as you can possibly imagine," he said. "We need to find a way to coordinate that."
MTA spokesman Adam Lisberg said running the football train is complicated but shows that cooperation is possible. "Doing just this experiment required agreements among four railroads to coordinate schedules, crews, track, ticketing, revenue and some minor hardware issues," he said. "So expanding it to full-fledged through-running will take much more."
Lisberg said the four railroads are conducting a $1.5 million study to look at improving Penn Station's capacity. "The study is trying to quantify the benefits and the costs of through-running," he said. One of those costs would be overcoming the railroads' disparate technologies: Amtrak, Metro-North and NJ Transit use overhead catenary power, while Long Island Rail Road is powered by a third rail.
In an email, Lisberg further weighted the costs and benefits of through-putting. He said a big advantage would be that trains wouldn't have to stop and turn around in Penn Station, "or use precious tunnel slots to move empty trains into storage yards."
And he said the existing tracks and platforms under the station "could be reorganized into simple eastbound and westbound tracks and platforms, regardless of which railroad uses them." Then he added a caveat: "However, it would require lots of capital investment and changes to existing procedures – and we want to know it can be done without affecting on-time performance."
The Regional Plan Association, which held the conference at which Lhota spoke, and other advocacy groups have expressed support for through-running—at least until Gateway Tunnel gets built. If it gets built.

UK Tax
UK Tax Questions? Ask a UK Tax Advisor for answers ASAP
Gifts out of income. Q1. Can occasional large asset purchases eg; motor car at £25K be paid for by withdrawing from savings or investment portfolio sale and EXCLUDED FROM EXPENSES for the year - thus releasing more surplus income after expenses for gifting out of income ? Q2 What (HMRC) document clarifies this area of capital asset spending for IHT gifting out of income ? Q3 If Q1 answer is NO - Can husband gift the £25K car purchase money to wife so SHE buys the car and thus leaves the husband's Gifts out of surplus income unaffected ? Thx, AHG 22.00 05.11.2013
PS I am familiar with the Gifts out of Income HMRC concepts
and maintain page 6 of IHT403 records annually to help my heirs
with admin after my death - but need answers to Q1,2,3
Hello and thank you for your question. I will be very pleased to assist you. I'm a practicing lawyer in England with over 10 years experience.
Could you kindly clarify that you are looking at potentially purchasing this car for yourself or your wife rather than a third party (e.g. a child) please?
The motor car would be a family vehicle for joint use my wife and myself aged 74 +/- Our Children live in their own homes.
Actually the "Motor Car" is simply an example of ""Capital Expenditure""
Presumably your advice on allocation of money to "Capital Items" would also apply to, say, a new kitchen at C£20K ?
Thx, 10.00 06.11.2013
My apologies for the delay in reverting to you - I have been out on an appointment this morning. Thanks for the clarification.
The first thing to say is that there is no limit on the amount of capital you can spend on items you wish to buy for yourself - e.g. a car, holiday, home improvements and so on. Equally there is no limit on the amount of capital you can spend on or gift to your spouse. You can spend an amount on you and you spouse - £1 or £10m and it makes no difference to the amount you can gift to others as part of your £3,000 annual exempt amount nor does it impact on the amounts you can gift to others out of income.
Making gifts to persons other than your spouse (and spending money on yourself) however is a different matter if your estate is liable to inheritance tax - between you and your wife you have a £650K allowance before your estate is taxed at 40% on anything above that figure.
If you are in that position where IHT may be payable on your estate then there are limits to what you can give away to third parties. You can each give away up to £3000 in capital to third parties in any tax year (double in the first year if you did not use your £3K allowance from the last year. You can also give away additional sums for special occasions e.g. weddings. If you give away more than these amounts, that is entirely your right and those gifts will stand however if you die within 7 years of making such gifts over your allowance then HMRC can treat your estate as if you had not given away such amounts over your allowance. e.g. if you gave away £10K and died the next day HMRC would treat your estate as if it had still had £7K of the £10K (i.e. £10K-£3K allowance) in it and tax it accordingly (there is taper relief available if you survive more than 3 years on a sliding scale)
In addition to the above you can give away as much as you like from excess income with the only limit being the amount of income you have available to give away. In order to qualify however the gifts must pass three criteria:
Capital withdrawals would not qualify to designate as gifts out of income and would so far as they ar over your £3K annual allowance be treated as a potentially exempt transfer if gifted to a third party - i.e. as discussed above would fall out of your estate after 7 years but prior to that would be taxed on death as if you had not given it away.
In answer to your final question, so far as it is not made clear above, whether you buy the car (in your example) for yourself or your wife as a gift it makes no difference to your allowances as you can buy as much as you want for you and your wife without effect on your allowances.
References for the above information is the inheritance tax manual IHTM14241, IHTM14250-1 and s21 Inheritance Tax Act 1984 and Finance Act 1986.
Is there anything above I can clarify for you?
A comprehensive reply, for which I thank you.
For absolute clarity - do I understand that when buying the £25K car, from CAPITAL ( Savings or realised investments) this can be ignored and omitted from the records and calculation of the disposable income to maintain our normal standard of living ?
My motive is to leave a clear financial annual record for my family/executors to minimise their work as my estate will be substantially above the
IHT threshold(s)
A pleasure. Yes in deed if buying items for you and your wife this has no bearing on IHT for gifts to third parties be it out of capital or income.
You motives will prove very helpful to your executors as tracing records for gifts especially gifts out of income can be difficult if there is a lack of records.
Is there anything above I can clarify for you any further?
That completes my mission - Thank you 06.11.2013

I work for a service industry where the general public comes and goes all day long and it is posted with no weapons signs. It has been this way for years and I've just locked my CCW in the car. They have also had no weapons policies for employees for years, and again, no problem locking it in the car.
New problem. The large national parent company has pushed out policies to all facilities requiring implementation that says employees cannot have weapons in their cars and they reserve the right to search an employees car in the parking lot and fire them if they have a weapon in the car or if they refuse to let them search.
I have a major issue with this policy for many reasons. In accordance with state law, my car is my personal property and I have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Unfortunately, Virginia is an at-will state and a person can be fired for any or no reason. The 4th Amendment does not apply to private employers, just government.
There is a ray of hope!!! The policy says the individual facility leadership can make exceptions. I've talked with my boss (who has gone shooting with me before) and he agrees with my concerns but is hesitant to rock the boat. When he asked how to be fair in making objective exceptions, I suggested a blanket exception (not specifically individual exceptions) that says if you have a valid CHP, you are granted an exception to the rule of not being able to lock it in your car since you have passed background checks, etc. That seemed to be somewhat appealing. I think it will work out eventually since even he said probably 90% of our employees keep guns locked in their cars.
I did find one aspect of federal law that may also help. While an employer may be able to search your personal property on their property (I haven't determined the absolute legality of that yet), there is a federal law that states an employer has absolutely no right to open or read your personal mail (snail mail that may be in your car). I'm thinking about getting a USPS small box and sending it to myself. Put some old mail in it and some packing material and place my CCW in the box locked in my trunk. Even if I consent to a search, they would be breaking federal law to look inside my personal snail mail. Of course, they could still fire a person for no reason.
Another disturbing policy on social media. If you engage in social media networks on your own personal computer on your own time in the privacy of your own home and post things contrary to the company image (which their recent policies make me believe they don't care for guns) then you can be fired. This is another disturbing issue to me. If they are able to identify my membership and posts here on my own time (this site is blocked on company computers) and they don't like guns, then they can fire me. Of course, at-will state, they can fire me for no reason anyway. Go figure. Our rights are being whittled away at an alarming rate, if not by government by our employers.

[NWSL 2014 COUNTDOWN] U.S. international Sarah Hagen will join FC Kansas City after her contract with Bayern Munich of the German Frauen-Bundesliga expires in June. Her play with Bayern -- 28 goals in 47 games over three seasons -- earned her a call-up to the U.S. national team for which she made her debut on March 7 at the Algarve Cup.
Hagen scored 93 goals in 86 games for Wisconsin-Milwaukee and chose to play in Germany after her college career ended in 2011. She has scored 10 goals in 14 games so far
this season. Most recently, she provided the winning goal in the 2-0 victory over Freiburg.
"I'm extremely excited to join FC Kansas City in June for the remainder of their season.
I've had such a great experience here at Bayern," said Hagen in a statement. "However, I've also made many sacrifices by choosing to be thousands of miles away from my family and friends.
For me, this is the biggest reason in returning back to the States to play. I'm still very much focused on finishing out my season here with Bayern, but am also looking forward to starting a new
chapter in my career at Kansas City."
Hagen was called for the recent Algarve Cup in Portugal, where she played against Sweden and Denmark.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Is that two cases? Can you add some sort of Tax whistleblower claim to a Law Division Employment Case when Tax was now discovered as avoided through some type of fraud or do these always have to be different filings? My attorney does not know tax at all and will allow me to find someone for the tax part of the case. It would seem keep this new claim for the IRS whistleblower in the civil case would give me broader access to discovery against a company that is not acting within the law. Or does it now work that way?
I would need to know a lot more about this, but my first impression is that you have a state claim and a federal claim. The federal claim would not be adjudicated in state court. It may be possible to have one case, but it might need to be removed to Federal Court (the whole case including state and federal claims).

Understand that there may in fact be three claims: (a) employment claim, (b) failure to pay and remit taxes to the IRS or pay the correct Federal Income Tax, and (c) the same as (b), but the failure to pay NJ taxes, which can be joined with your NJ Law Division claim.
Be careful that the tax/whistle-blower claims are not being used for leverage to win your employment case for if threat of such claims is made it could backfire and result in you being accused of extortion.
Any such claim asserted is supposed to be referred by the sitting judge to the proper tax agency. If you advise the Division of Taxation, and the IRS directly, you can win, if valid claims, a percentage of the amount recovered. I think this is a better approach assuming it will not cause the former employer to go bankrupt and make your employment claim worthless.
While the whistle-blower claims be brought, the reality is that the trial court has no ability to do anything other than to refer it to the proper taxing agencies.

Some people, particularly men, claim that women are controlled by their hormones. Granted, hormones play an important role in the human body and may control a woman's moods. Hormones, by definition, are substances which are secreted by a tissue in the body to effect change in another tissue. Therefore, hormones do not necessarily control women but are crucial to a woman's overall health. Understanding how female sex hormones work is important if you want to understand the female psychology, predisposition and sexual tendencies.
Female sex hormones are the hormones that bring about secondary sexual characteristics in women during puberty. These characteristics include breast enlargement, menstruation, widening of the hips and increased vascularization of the skin. These hormones are normally produced in the female gonads. They control physical and sexual development in women as well as the ovulation cycle.
What is the Importance of Female Sex Hormones?
Female sex hormones are of utmost importance in the continuation of the human species in the following ways:
- They prepare a woman's body for fertilization and childbirth by controlling a woman's ovulation cycle.
- They enhance a woman's physical feature by making her more curvy and feminine as these hormones control fat deposition in a woman's body. This enhancement of physical features is meant to attract suitable mates from the opposite sex.
- These hormones maintain a healthy vagina and uterus (particularly during pregnancy) which is important for the process of mating and reproducing offspring to be successful.
- They maintain pregnancy and enhance fetal development.
What are the Types of Female Sex Hormones?
The main female sex hormone is estrogen. Progesterone is also a crucial female sex hormone. These hormones are produced in the gonads and control the ovulation cycle and maintain a healthy female reproductive system. Other hormones that may fall in this category are Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH). These two hormones are not produced in the gonads but by the pituitary gland during puberty. They control the secretion of estrogen and progesterone. They also assist in the preparation of a mature egg to be fertilized by a sperm.
How to Balance Female Sex Hormones?
Hormonal imbalances can affect a woman's moods and even her sex drive. Because a woman's body undergoes various cycles throughout her life, hormonal imbalances are inevitable. However, there are things women can do or certain lifestyles women can adapt to control hormonal imbalances:
- Understand how your hormones function in order to control the situation. Do not let your hormones control your life. If you occasionally experience the blues, instead of going with it and being miserable, understand that your hormones could be responsible and find ways to lighten your mood.
- Get blood tests done by a doctor in order to determine your hormonal profile. In this way, supplements will be prescribed for the hormones that you lack.
- Reduce your stress levels by getting organized, dealing with problems as they come and taking time off to relax. Stress does many negative things to our body and hormonal imbalance is one of them.
- Exercise is good for your overall well being and improves blood circulation. Hormones are transported through the bloodstream hence exercise will improve their transportation.
- Get enough rest. Lack of sleep can affect hormone production and lead to hormonal imbalance.
- Limit your caffeine intake as too much caffeine wreaks havoc to the hormone secretion system.
- Eat a balanced diet and limit the intake of food that affects hormonal balance such as soy.
What are the Differences Between Male and Female Sex Hormones?
Male and female sex hormones differ in terms of their functions. They do have similarities as they are produced in the gonads. In addition, men have a small amount of estrogen while women have small amounts of testosterone, these two being the main sexual hormones in each sex.
Male sex hormones are responsible for masculine characteristics such as facial hair, height, broad shoulders, a high sex drive and a deep voice; manly passions such as sports as well as character traits such as ambition, goal-oriented and competitiveness. Female sex hormones are responsible for physical characteristics in women and character traits such as being nurturing, soft and caring.
Basically, female sex hormones are what make women uniquely feminine while male sex hormones are what make men uniquely masculine.
How do Female Sex Hormones Affect Sexuality?
Female sex hormone levels primarily control the ovulation cycle. However, unchecked estrogen levels can affect the libido. Estrogen enhances the effects of another hormone known as oxytocin. Oxytocin or the 'love hormone' is produced by the brain during sex when a woman climaxes. It is also produced during physical touch such as hugging to induce the sex drive and trust levels between lovers. In addition, testosterone, which is responsible for a woman's sex drive, cannot function in the absence of estrogen as estrogen boosts a woman's sexual receptivity.
What Hormones do the Ovaries Produce?
Estrogen and progesterone are produced in the ovaries. However, once a woman is impregnated, the placenta becomes the main producer of estrogen and progesterone. The ovaries also produce small amounts of testosterone.
The Effects of Female Sex Hormones on Cancer Survival
High levels of estrogen are often associated with breast cancer. This is because breast cancer is a hormone sensitive condition whereby a high level of estrogen promotes the cancerous growths. Nonetheless, this situation can be controlled by lowering estrogen levels by administering progesterone supplements.
How to Evaluate Female Sex Hormones?
Female sex hormone levels can be evaluated by getting a hormone profile at the doctor's office. Hormone evaluation tests involve blood tests and urine sample tests.
What is the Treatment for Female Sex Hormones Disorders?
Female sex hormone disorders mostly involve some form of hormonal imbalance. Hormone imbalance is mostly caused by three conditions: Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), pregnancy and menopause. These conditions are mostly characterized by:
- Hot flashes and nausea
- Mood swings
- Vaginal dryness (only during menopause)
- Sleep disorders
- Low libido
- Abdominal cramps and flatulence (PMS)
The treatment of hormonal imbalance and other disorders associated with hormones is referred to as Hormone Replacement Therapy. This treatment plan involves administering synthetic hormones in forms of pills, injections, patches and gels. The hormone which is deficient is the one that is normally administered. This should be done in a clinical setting in case a woman is a special need patient for instances in cases where the woman is pregnant.
Hormones are chemical messengers that control various bodily, and, most importantly, sexual functions. Therefore, understanding their functions and how to cope with imbalances is fundamental. The gift of sexual, whether you are male or female, should be preserved and protected not just for our own sake, but for the sake of the entire human race.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes the Ankle to Swell up after You Sprain it?
Why does the ankle swell up so much after you sprain it?
When the body has an injury, it sends interstitial fluid (the fluid between cells) to the site to cushion it. A little swelling is ok, but a lot causes pain.
Treatment for a sprain involves reducing or stopping swelling. Follow the RICE formula.
Access the source below for further information.
why is my ankle still swelling up after 6 months?
i sprained my ankle at the end of august 2008 and it keeps swelling up why ?
it been over 6 months !!!1
i have seen my doctor twice but he said if i go again it might come 2 surgery !
and i dont want that im 2 frightend to have surgery
can you help ?
what could i do for it to not swell up ?
I sprained my ankle in June of 2008 and I had the same situation as you, where it was still swollen 5 months afterwords. I was going to the doctor, had x-rays, was soaking it in eptson salt, icing it, everything I could think of. They finally did an MRI and found multiple torn ligaments, one completely torn. I had surgery in December, was on crutches and am now walking around on it. In the next couple months my foot should recover enough to were I can run again!
You may have to have surgery, you may not. I would recommend seeing a podiatrist and asking them to perform the drawer test. That test gives them an idea of what is going on with the ligaments.
You may also try physical therapy and see if that helps, you'll probably need it anyways if your foot has been hurt for that long.
Good luck, and don't be scared.
Swelling a week after ankle sprain?
I sprained my ankle about a week and a half ago, it was a regular side sprain, it swelled up a lot, but as of yesterday it was back down to normal. No pain now except when I bend my ankle in the direction of the injury. My foot looked normal.
Now today, it swelled back up to where it was that first day, complete with that big bump, and then just overall foot swelling. I didn't reinjure it, nothing happened, it doesn't hurt unless I push on it, I can stand on one foot. It's like all the swelling but none of the pain…what should I do?
You should be putting ice on for 15 mins several times a day, trying to keep your foot elevated as much as possible, and trying not to be on your feet as much as possible. You may also benefit from an ankle brace to assist in giving your ankle some support while the ligament heals. The ligament takes around 4 wks to fully heal and if you continue to put stress on it by walking then you are delaying the healing process.
What Causes the Ankle to Swell After a Sprain?
Why does the ankle swell up after you sprain it??
Inflammatory process. You've injured the tissue and it gets inflamed. Best thing is ice and some sort of anti inflammatory medication like ibuprofen.
I sprained my ankle long ago but it's been acting up, swelling up as of late. What should I do?
I sprained my ankle about 6-7 years ago. It hurts off and on every 6 months which is supposedly usual. As of recently, the ankle is swollen once more. It's been getting worse from prolonged use. Any suggestions as to helping with easing the swelling?
Go to a licensed massage therapist who specializes in injuries like that. Usually a sports massage therapist will be specialized in that area. Check around with chiropractors and health clubs.
In massage school, one of my teachers talked all the time about working with ankle injuries, and how much of a difference it makes even years after the injury. Scar tissue builds up and causes problems, and massage can break the scar tissue down and help the tissue be healthy again. It's not fun, but it WORKS.
why is it that a sprained ankle swells up?
When your body detects an injury, one if its responses is to increase blood flow to the area in an attempt for your immune system, including your white blood cells, to fight back any infection and promote the healing of the damaged tissue. In order to increase blood flow, your body releases Histamine, which binds to receptors and causes all the surrounding blood vessels and capillary beds to dilate. This is the swelling you see. We ice these injuries because often the histamine release-caused swelling causes most of the pain you experience, so by reducing the swelling, the injury won't hurt as much.
Grade 2 ankle sprain -swelling even after 8 weeks?
I sprained my ankle 6 weeks ago. MRI showed that I tore 2 ligaments completely and partially tore one ligament.Doc has given me a lace up brace now that the swelling is not going down at all.He has also asked me to take CELEBREX for the swelling.
Do you think I shud use a hard cast?is taking CELEBREX imprortant?
You may want a second opinion just to ease your mind that your doctor told you to do the right thing. When in doubt about any thing medically, get another opinion! My daughter was being treated for IBS for a year, and then found out she had Endometriosis! Doctors aren't always right, and its your body, at your expense!
I sprained my ankle and it's swelled up. When will the swelling go down?
Well, last night I sprained my ankle. At first it didn't hurt that bad.
I went to the doctor and she said nothing major and I need to wear this like cast or whatever and it's super swollen. Which I know that's normal, but when might the swelling go down? -.-
Keep it elevated as much as you can.
The swelling should go down within a few days
sprained my ankle,swelling went down but now its come back a little but is lumpy if i press it leave dent?
i sprained my ankle 3 wks ago it swelled up and was black and blue, i heard a crack like noise. doc said couldnt tell if its a fracture as it was too swollen. swelling went down but came back today just a bit round my ankle..when i press it, it leaves an indent so kind of lumpy what should i do next
If you heard a crack noise, you need to go back to the doctor or to an ER. It could have been your ankle bone or it could have been a ligament or a tendon tearing. Are you able to put pressure on it at all? The indent when you press on it is because there is still some swelling to it. Take some Ibuprofen and get some ice on that thing!! And remember to elevate it-above the heart is best. Good luck!!
ankle sprain need answer asap please?
2 weeks ago wen i was playing soccer sprained my ankle it swelled up like tennis ball its week 2 swelling is just a little i walk but not to good i was trying to see how my ankle felt so i did some ground moves my ankle feels really REALLY weak, some times extremelly loose, and at times it feels tight, it feels unstabe, it pops at times wen moved, most of my range of motion/movement is gone, and dont know what to do to fix this, make heel faster, stop pain, etc please help thanks
Does icing a sprained ankle prevent and reduce swelling???
For example, if I'm not able to put ice on my sprained ankle immediately then of course my ankle will swell up. However, if I apply ice to my swollen ankle hours later, will it help REDUCE the swelling??? Or does ice only PREVENT swelling. Thanks for your answers.
it will still help,
Sprained ankle swelling crazy?
I sprained my ankle two days ago, and I went to a doctor and they told me I sprained my ankle and they gave me a brace. They told me I could walk on it and it'd be fine. Yesterday the swelling almost disappeared, but today, when I stood on it for a while, it swelled up a lot. I've been icing it for 2 hours and they swelling hasn't gone down… What do you reccomend?
just keep your ankle elevated and ice it every other hour or so. you seemed to have irritated your sprain. just don't do anything on it for a day or so and it will be back to normal.
how to prevent swelling in a sprained ankle?
a few months ago i sprained my ankle while practicing for track. its still kinda swollen, not horribly, but enough its enough to notive the difference between the my two ankles. i am going to be spending tomorrow on my feet a lot. the last time i was on my feet all day, my ankle swelled up really bad. my question is there anything ican do to prevent my ankle from swelling up again. i am in traiing for track and dont want to be set back again.
i have not seen a doctor because i work with trainers who take good care of me and stated that the reason its not healing fully is because i havent stopped runnin to let it heal, becasue i cant stop running. i just need a way to stop it from swelling.
Try not to move it if its already swollen you need to put ice on it have you gone to your doctor yet? take a pain pill also for the pain like ibu profen or advil hope you get better!
why has my ankle swollen up from a knee injury?
I injured my knee over the weekend. the dr said it looks like just a bad sprain, but now my ankle and the inside of my left foot are starting to swell and bruise… is this just residual swelling from being on that leg? How can i reduce the swelling in my foot?
I was jumping off a bridge into a river while on float trip… my knees were bent, but when i hit the water, i hit a rock at an angle which caused the injury to my knee
Put alot of ice on it
If you bandage your ankle tightly would the ankle swell up?
Could it make simliar symptom effect like sprained ankle?
No. It won't swell up anything like if it were sprained. And it'll only last for a couple of minutes. It would be just a waste of time.
how can i keep the swelling down after i sprained my ankle 7 weeks ago?
I sprained my ankle playing football 7 weeks ago but I came back to sport 2 weeks after I sprained it. I have went to the doctors and I have been considered physio but my ankle is still swelled up and really painful !! what can i do to keep the swelling down when doing physical activity??
wear an ankle brace, the best ones can be received from your doctor. but you can get one over the counter at wal mart, Wallgreens, your local SVC. try to alternate 15 minutes of ice, and 15 minutes of heat at night. and maby try and icy hot patch under the ankle brace when doing physical activity. hope it helped
Ankle Sprain?
I would like to know how long it would take for a minor ankle sprain to heal. I was running toward the ringing phone and I tripped on our Christmas tree box and I twisted my ankle. I have done this before and my ankle was fine the next day. This time it swelled up (did not turn black and blue) and it was painful when I touched it. Like I said, it's a minor sprain. It only causes me a very slight amount of discomfort. If I'm distracted with something I hardly even notice it. Any advice would help.
An ankle sprain is an injury to ligaments, tissues that connect bone to bone. A minor ankle sprain is a grade one – only minor injury to one or two ligaments. Healing is enhanced by doing three things, reducing swelling, stabilize the ankle during healing, help to enhance the return of proprioception. Proprioception is knowing where your ankle is in relation to gravity. When you injure the ligaments, you injure small proprioceptive nerves and they take much longer than ligaments to heal.
So, to reduce swelling we use RICE – rest, ice, compression and elevation. An aircast splint will stabilize the ankle. You can get one over-the-counter. It prevents side-to-side motion of your ankle and speeds healing while you are active. It must be worn with an athletic shoe (cross trainer, walker, running). Proprioception can be enhanced by removing your shoe and splint twice a day and rolling a tennis ball on the floor with the sole of your foot. Remain seated, roll the ball for 2-3 minutes toes to heel and back and side to side.
Complete healing is 3-4 weeks for ligaments though they should feel better in a few days for a grade one sprain. Healing for nerves is 6-8 weeks. You have to protect the ankle from further injury until healing is complete.
Question on my ankle sprain.?
I sprained my ankle during a basketball game. My foot landed on it's side and i came down hard. I felt a ligament in my ankle rip/tear and it started to hurt. My ankle swell up and had juices in it. I wasn't able to walk after i got hurt. For the first day i couldn't put any pressure on it so i bought crutches but after the first night i left my crutches and could walk a little then about a week or so i could walk much more. But my question is why is my ankle still swollen, its been a couple months ( sprained it in august ) and its still not looking like my right ankle. I can walk fine but its still bigger than my right ankle, Any help?
Sprained Ankle Swelling?
I sprained my ankle quite badly about 2 weeks ago now, i was playing football, and i rolled my ankle, i heard a crack, and it swelled up instantly, there wasn't any real severe pain at all, i could still walk on it, i stopped playing and got my dad to pick me up,
the next day, it was huge, and i couldn't bare any weight on it at all, so i went to the hospital, they put me in a plaster as they thought it may be a fracture as there was a line on the x ray, 2 days later they took me out of that and put me in a walking cast, they said to keep it on for two weeks, after about a week, and i know i shouldn't have, but i took it off, as when i was doing the exercises, it no longer hurt, i've been walking without the cast on for a few days now and there is minimal pain. however, the ankle is still slightly bigger than my other ankle, and is a feels quite hard when i touch it.
I was wondering weather it was natural to still see some painless swelling, and wondering and hoping i haven't caused any permanent damage,
any help would be appreciated, thanks
It is completely normal for it to swell, although abnormal for it to be painless. I had a level 4 ankle sprain in november, it was extremely swollen for a few months following the injury. For the first month it was so swollen in fact that I could not even fit a sock on my foot. I was nervous about how crazy swollen it was, but the doctor told me it was normal.
So I am sure you are fine.
I sprained my ankle and it is swelling on both sides and on top of my foot. Is it just a sprain or more?
I did it playing basketball last night. I came down on it wrong and knew it was hurt. I sat out for about 5 minutes and then decided to play more. I was able to play with a little discomfort. After the game I could walk on it with a limp. This morning I woke up and it hurt really bad-I can't even walk on it now. The swelling is on both sides of the ankle and on top of the foot. Is it just a sprain or possibly something more serious?
The only way to know for sure if it is not broken is to get x-rays of your foot. There are plenty of people who have broken one of their foot bones and still walk around on it. It could be just a hairline fracture or a bone could be out of place.
It probably wasn't the best idea to continue playing. You could have initially sprained it (which is an over-stretch of the ligaments), and then since it was weak from the sprain, you could have fractured it going back into the game. Either way, I would see a doctor so you can get a picture of your foot. They will take 3 x-rays from different angles to see all sides of all of the bones.
Either way, you will need to take it easy for at least 4-6 weeks.
What is causing pain 4 months after ankle sprain…?
Okay, I had a pretty nasty ankle sprain in September that left me with a blood clot in my lower leg. The other night I was "Spring Cleaning" my house (even though its the middle of winter!) and I noticed that my ankle swelled up and hurt a little. Here it is 4 days later and my lower leg feels extremely tight, slightly swollen, and Extremely painful to bear weight on. Every time I put weight on it, I want to scream. I have tried Ibuprofen, propping it up, and icing it. Nothing seems to be working. Why would this be hurting, this long after my injury and should I go to the doctor or urgent care today?
definitely go to urgent care
i fractured/sprained my ankle 3 days ago and my whole foot is swelling up, not just my ankle. Is this normal?
IThe orthopedist said it was a really bad sprain but now (3 days later from when the accident happened), my whole foot has become swollen. Is that normal? Also does it matter if when I take the splint off to take a shower if i put it back on and it is loose? thanks
haha i just sprained my ankle for the 3rd time within the last year about an hour ago lol. It hurts
Anyway, Its normal to feel instability in your ankle for a while, and many times the swelling and bruising will spread throughtout your entire foot. It may feel looser after you take a shower because the heat loosened up your muscles/ligaments/etc. Just make sure to splint it again so you dont injure it again while its loosened up.
And make sure you let it heal completely before getting back ou ton it, or you may end up respraining it frequently.
can u sprain your ankle without there being any swelling?
i went over on my ankle playin squash the other day and it hurts when i put weight on it, expecialy goin up and down the stairs. i thought i might have sprained it but there is no swelling, can u still sprain your ankle without there being any swelling? and how long should it take to heal?
I had a major sprain 2-3 months ago playing football, but I couldn't walk. I'd torn some ligaments which caused huge swelling, but I also fractured a bone on the outside of the same ankle where you couldn't see any difference.
So maybe you've fractured it?
Good luck
What is the worst way to sprain your ankle?
Are your toes supposed to swell up if you have a sprained ankle?
Is it possible to add pictures so I can see what they look like. I need this info for a project, I dont have the injury luckily.
ANKLE sprain recovery?
2 days ago, i sprained both of my ankles due to gymnastics, and i couldnt walk for that day at all. I tried to get up but it would hurt SO bad.My left ankle swelled up badly. yesterday i went to the doctors and they told me to rest, put ice, compress, and elevate. and that i didn't fracture anything.
i did that for 2 days and this morning its feeling WAY better. i can kinda walk now but i limp.
I have cheer camp in 3 weeks and my first pep rally in bout 7 weeks. will i get better by then?
After years of jumping out of planes and doing other things in the military I have become well aquainted with ankle sprains. My quick estimate is 40 times of sprains of various degrees but I am sure there are many more that I have forgotten.
The feeling better in 2 days is a bit deceptive. If you start going to it again as soon as it feels better later pain or creakyness can come back. It can become a recurring issue for a very long time.
The ice is not really necessary right now. You need to actually just give it a rest for a few days…….say 4 more. Just walk around a bit normally.
After that do some LIGHT stretches. A bit of streching of your achilles tendon will go a long way. Streching a bit until you can just feel a BIT of tension in the back of your calves and upper thigh will do as well.. The point is that you don't want to lose range of motion and then have this totally stiff ankle later.
The point is you want to give your ankle a rest for now and don't rush the process. If you have all of this other stuff coming up you need to quit the whole gymnastics thing.
Sprained ankle 1st 2nd or 3rd degree sprain?
Ok so I sprained my ankle yesterday by bouldering at a rock gym. I only fell like 5ish feet but when I fell my foot landed half on the mat and half on the floor. When this happened my ankle buckled and my foot rolled under me. I immediately iced it afterwards. Currently I am using the RICE treatment with crutches where ever I have to go. My ankle is swelled up pretty bad but not that much. The swelling starts from the top of my ankle to the arch of my foot. There is some bruising but it's slight. Is this a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd degree sprain. I'm gonna keep up with the rice treatment, so how much longer until it's pretty good and healed up?
I sprained my ankle today playing basketball to a third degree and the doctor told me that it will be fully healed in 2 and a half months. Keep using the rice treatment and it will heal in like 2 weeks:
My ankle was swollen now from my knee to my toes are numb and tingling?
I was at my doctors 2 weeks ago and told him my feet and ankle kept swelling up he said stop eating so much salt anyway last night my ankle was hurting bad and it was swollen so I went to the ER they took xrays and said I sprained it, now this morning I wake up and from my knee to my toes are numb and tingling, even my right leg feels that way but not as bad.
Should I go to the hospital or is it normal feeling when having a sprain ankle? Never had one so not sure.
if i were you i would ice it and see if it goes down if it doesnt go to the ER again
My ankle is painful to walk on but I have no swelling or anything that indicates a sprain?
I came home on Tuesday evening after going to the cinema and I had this pain just under my big toe on my right foot. I put this down to, too much walking, anyway I go to bed and I wake up the next day with the same pain but in my ankle joint. But my ankle shows no signs of it being a sprain. I now have the pain all along my foot, ankle and up my leg to the kneecap.
Do you do any running? I had a similar problem that seems to come and go. I went to the doctors and they said its Plantar Fascitus – Stretching of the tendon that runs through the foot and up to the knee. They gave me some anti-inflammatorys which helped but the pain is rather repetitive!
Is methylated spirits good for ankle sprain?
I badly sprained my ankle over a week ago. Been to hospital and had it x rayed. Doctor says just to give it time bla bla bla. Well it's been just over a week and it's still pretty sore. Someone told me to soak a bandage in methylated spirits and strap my ankle up with it and that will help with the swelling. Is this true? Is methylated spirits a good idea??
Methylated spirit is used in laboratories with bunsen burners, it has a low blue burning flame, of a low heat. It also is a good cleansing agent, and can be used for sterilising the skin for an injection. But using on your sprained ankle is new to me.
Ice packs do wonders. And kaolin poultices can be used and have great healing actions. Not used like it were some sixty or seventy years ago, but time marches on.
New techniques and methods. And a sprained ankle is no joke, I've suffered it too.
After a week the swelling should have receded and be non existent now. But you have to not walk on the ankle, and use a walking stick to take the strain. I'm surprised a walking stick hasn't been suggested for you.
Doctors are far to quick to dismiss you these days, and be very unsympathetic. Using methylated spirit can soothe the ankle, because of its low temperature effect. It won't be harmful. Also if your ankle fails to respond more quickly, then a future X-ray maybe advisable.
how long should you wait to run again after an ankle sprain?
I sprained my ankle about two weeks ago and now its only a little painful but much better, theres no more bruising or swelling. I have a tie up ankle brace but how long should I wait until I can start up running miles again? or at all…?
When i sprained my ankle and my swelling had gone down and the bruising went away my doctor advised me not to go running for miles but instead start slowly for example running for 10 minutes for a few days and then building up more time. hope this helps
How to stop ankle swelling?
Hey i sprained my ankle about a week ago but it still is swelled up. The swelling decreased drastically but for the last few days it has stayed on this level. How can i get rid of the swelling?
Can your ankles swelling up be a symptom from being infected with the herpes STD ?
I have had one outbreak of genital herpes about 4 or 5 years ago. Since then i have never got another outbreak but a couple times a year my ankle swells up for a few days, sometimes it lasts about a week. It feels and looks pretty similar to a sprained ankle. I can't walk very well on it, and it feels bruised. Then it goes away and doesn't return for another 6 months or so. Someone told me that it was a symptom of the herpes STD but i can't find any information on the internet about it. If anyone knows anything about this please let me know, it would be much appreciated. Thanx.
How long is a sprained ankle swollen?
So i sprained my ankle last Saturday, and it still hurts and it still swells up. Is this normal or should i see a doctor?
thanks for the help
A sprained ankle would normally be swollen for about a week. Even with constant icing and treatment, there will still be swelling for that duration. It just goes down very slowly. It can last longer than that, depending on the severity of the injury. Feeling pain is normal, too. I have sprained my ankles 3 times, and it takes at least a couple weeks to be back on my foot again. You should only be worried about it being a broken foot if your ankle is purple and severely bruised and it hurts extremely bad, like you can't even really move it. Otherwise, just follow the conventional method of R.I.C.E. to treat it. Rest, Ice, Compress, and Elevate. Stay off the foot with your sprained ankle completely, ice it a lot, compress and wrap it with some kind of athletic tape or splint to help the swelling go down and to keep the ankle from moving around, and elevate it by keeping the level of your injured leg above the heart (so when you're sitting down or lying down when sleeping, put your leg on top of a few stacked pillows so your leg is higher than your heart). This will slow blood flow to the area…slowing swelling and inflammation.
Can swelling after 5 weeks with an ankle sprain be a sign that I tore some ligaments?
I sprained my left ankle on Dec. 22nd 2007. It was swollen and bruised really bad. The X-Rays revealed that their wasn't a break which was done a few hours after I did it. It was swollen on the outside as well as on the inside of my ankle. I just started jogging on it because I have a lot of pain on the inside of my ankle. However today on the inside it begin to swell back up. I don't know if I need more x-rays or if its just because I just started back running on it. Also I was wondering if the swelling is a sign that I torn the ligament on the inside of my ankle.
I had a grade III ankle sprain (inversion) and tore 2 ligaments in half!
At first in the ER (did it at work, taken by ambulance) they did an x-ray which showed no breaks. They put me in a soft cast (hard cast on the back of my leg, ace bandage wrap around that) and gave me crutches. I went a few days later to a podiatrist who kept in the cast for a week and then moved me to a walking boot. After about 7 weeks with no major improvement he did an MRI which showed the 2 tears. To make a long story short I ended up having arthoscopic surgery to clean the ankle area out (lots of scar tissue!) and just this past halloween had ligament reconstruction surgery and was in a short leg cast for 4 weeks , then walking boot for 6 more weeks.
Ankle injuries are tricky, to say the least! If you are still having pain get an MRI and go from there
Hope that helps
Ankle Sprain caused severe swelling to foot.?
Around last Thursday, 23rd August, I fell down around 8-10 steps of a certain staircase. I've got a really bad sprain and went to the hospital. They said I've got a fracture, and they'll placed a cast on my legs.
But right now, my whole right feet is swollen. I did some 'experiments' and here are the results.
1. I raised my feet up high when I sleep. The right feet becomes less swollen. YAY!.
2. When I got my crutches and start walking to the toilet, I can feel a SHARP, EXTREMELY painful pain at the ankle area, and the feet area.
3. The swell got bigger again, and my WHOLE FEET becomes huge.
So the question is, did I break a blood vessel? If not, what's up with my feet? Is there anyway whereby I can stop the pain? (It is frikkin painful even after I eat painkillers) How long will it take to heal?
(Please don't ask me to elevate my feet. Yes, the swell will get better but when I stand up, it's friggin painful and the whole feet swell again)
-Thank You!
Vin, Age 15
The reason why you are swelling is because your body knows that something is wrong, and is sending more blood to try to heal the injury, it's just your body's natural reaction/defense to try to heal. You have to keep it elevated in order to keep the swelling down, ice (if you are able to ice it in any way), and ibpforen are also helpful, but mostly you just have to give it time to heal. After I had my knee surgery my entire ankle, foot and leg would become very large unless I kept it elevated for about 2 weeks after surgery. I did have some nylon/sock type things called TED hose which helped keep some of the swelling down, but if you are in a cast this may not work for you (basically they are tight fitting nylons/socks which help keep your fluids up higher in your body so they do not get stuck in the bottom of your leg/feet). It will probably be about 4-6 weeks to heal, and for pain try keeping your mind off of it (if possible), and if the pain is too bad to bear then go ahead and give the doctor a call and let them know that your pain is out of control. Make sure that your leg is receving circulation and that you are not becoming numb, if this does happen it means that your cast could be too tight, one way to make sure that your leg is receving circulation is to pinch your toe and the toe/under the toe nail should turn white momentarlily and then go back to it's normal color, if you are numb and your toes are not turning white then you should call your doctor because this could cause potentail problems (this happens because of the swelling and your cast being too tight). Good luck!
Is it normal for a sprained ankle to swell slightly after 2 months?
I sprained my ankle in late July / early August, and am still experiencing some swelling. I can feel what appears to be maybe damaged tissue still around my outside ankle bone, but there is no pain and I have good range of motion. It' just that when I walk or play a sport on it, it will swell up very slightly. Is this normal? Is there anything I can/should do to reduce this. I still ice and compress it, but that doesn't seem to work.
i think you should consult it to a specialist or a doctor. If it stays for 2 months, there may be some problems underneath. Try to rest your foot for awhile to avoid it from sweeling so that the tissues may regenerate. The swelling may be brought about by the pooling of the blood to the lower extremity. So when you walk, the blood goes to the lower extremity. Try to raise your feet after a long stand or walk to promote blood return and prevent swelling. But if this will not solve the problem, better consult the doctor right away so that you can avoid complications. Expect that they will require you tests like x-ray…
What exercises can I do for my ankle sprain?
I recently sprained my ankle playing football. I was dribbling and someone slide tackled me and I heard my ankle pop. I didn't think much of it because it didn't hurt and it didn't swell up until after the game. I saw the doctor and she said to do ankle strengthening exercises because it was only a moderate sprain. Is there anything I can do except write the alphabet in the air with my foot?
First of all rest, ice, compress and elevate it.
balancing on one leg
Standing on one leg and moving up on the balls of your feet lifting urself up.
Stretching your calf muscle by pushing against the wall with your leg back
How long should my ankle be swollen after I sprain it?
I've kept with the normal RICE method, but it's still as swollen as it was 4 days ago.
It's also swollen up to the toes. It's pretty gross. I can feel the fluid giggle when I'm walking around on my crutches.
I sprained my ankle just over 5 weeks ago. In the time Ive been resting, elevating, icing, compressing and taking anti inflamatory tablets and it is STILL very swollen.
4 days isnt too bad. Just keep doing what youre doing. Ice it for no longer than 15 minutes at a time, try to wear a compression bandage to squeaze the swelling out and take some iboprofen a few times a day. And try to keep it mobile – even if its just tracing the alphabet with your big toe.
Good luck!
Doc says ankle sprain, but could there be a fracture?
I'm 25. 2 weeks ago I fell down some stairs both twisting my ankle inward and hitting the outside of the ankle hard against the banister. Went to the ER and xrays of ankle from one hour after the incident were negative. Followed up with PMD 2 days later who said it was sprained but noticed swelling in my toe and got xrays of the foot (which were negative). It's been two weeks. I've been off work resting, used crutches for 4 days, icing, elevating, and wrapping ankle when up and about. Toe area is fine now but this constant aching pain is continuing on the outside lateral/posterior side of ankle. Worse when walking. Also still a little swollen, bruised, and very tender to touch (even a blanket hurst sometimes). Pain wakes me up at night and is sometimes sharp radiating towards my knee or down the outside of my foot. Taking NSAIDS every 6 hours with some but not much relief. Went back to PMD today and she said it should've healed by now and she doesn't know why a sprain is lasting so long. I asked for more xrays since the first ones were done right after the injury and while my ankle was swollen. She said no xrays necessary, ordered PT, and sent me on my way. Due to my HMO I can't go see an ortho without her approval (switching to PPO in January). Pain gets so intense I think about going to ER again. How many weeks do I need to wait after the injury before I MAKE my PMD give me the referral or go to the ER? I've heard fractures sometimes don't show up for a couple weeks and that ERs can miss fractures frequently? I want this to heal properly so I don't have issues later and yet my PMD just doesn't want to listen to me.
I doubt there is a fracture, it would have shown up immediately. I don't know what your dr. means by a sprain healing. I had one this year on my wrist, got it a day after flipping my bike. I had got up and all of a sudden my whole hand got big and so did part of my arm. In less than 5 minutes I was rid of it and have never had a problem with it. A sprain is nothing more than tendons that have shortened themselves up and when they do that in a foot or arm they pull parts together and kind of lock them there and that is what causes them to swell up, the blood is getting trapped there. Once you release the muscles the swelling is gone and you can use your foot again. Go to where the sprain is and look for the ends of any swollen parts and press on them and hold for 30 seconds. If you have the right area they should have released. Keep trying until you hit the spot that takes the big one down. Sorry I can't be more specific than that but it's the best I can do on the net.
i sprained my ankle and it swelled up to about half of a soft ball?
it wasn't broken, but they're gonna check it for sure tomorrow. i have volleyball tryouts in exactly seven days. anything i can do to make it heal a little faster?? or to make it stronger?
I'd be sure to ice it and to stay off of ur ankle as much as possible until the swelling goes down then start working to gain strength and stability. I would also go to the pharmacy or walmart and get an ankle brace so that u don't re injure ur ankle and end up missing most of volleyball season. Good Luck…
Will my ankle ever actually heal… and will it become weaker after a second sprain!?
I severely sprained my ankle when I was about 11 years old, and went on crutches for a few weeks. I have just done again to the same ankle. It swelled up (not as much as last time though), and then went down a bit but now, almost one week later it still has some swelling and hurts if I twist it (when you can naturally do it without any pain). Have I made it weak? I went to pharmacist- dont really see the point of going to the docs…
Sprain ankle takes a very long time to heal depending on injury. If you repeatedly sprained the same area, it may take a couple of years before you feel relief. Try to wear support, or a brace whenever you can and be careful. Ask the doctor for further advice. my ankle took about two years and even 10 years later sometimes I have weakness and feel it if I step the wrong way. Be careful and best of luck!
Is it more likely an ankle sprain or a fracture?
My daughter (9) fell down the stairs yesterday (on Christmas day!). She landed with her butt on her right ankle (with her ankle twisted). It swelled up right away, not a whole lot but enough to notice. She was able to put some weight on it, but didn't seem to want to walk on it. Today it's almost like she's favoring it more. She says it even hurts to take her sock off. She has her foot sort of turned out to the side and says it hurts to move her ankle or to straighten her foot. Is it normal for a sprain to hurt more the next day? I know an x-ray is the best/only way to check for a fracture, but I'm thinking that since there isn't too much bruising or swelling, it's more likely a sprain. We don't tend to break bones in our family, although she did break her collar bone when she fell off a swing when she was three. Should I go to the ER and get it checked or should I wait and see if it improves? By the way, I live in Canada where because we have free health care, people always go to the ER for stupid, trivial reasons. The wait times are sometimes up to 6 hours just to see a doctor and if the nurses/admitting clerks think you're wasting their time, you'll get major attitude.
If it got swollen it could be a sprain, but sprain or fracture, she should always get an x-ray to make sure. You can get reoccurring pain if you leave a sprain untreated. I did the same with my ankle.
why does skin swell up when you hurt/sprain/whatever it?
i got my foot squished under a motorbike the other day and was got wondering why it swelled up? or if you sprain your ankle/wrist etc… why does it swell up?
1 word edema!
when u sprain, or crush ur hand legs, tissue fluid is squeezed out and accumulate thus causing it to swell..
or its blood or pus accumulation, an acute inflammation stage, the pus contains neutrocytes white blood cells etc..
does wrapping your ankle speed up recovery time after a sprain?
I sprained it on tuesday but now it is saturday. there is no pain but tenderness and a very little swelling. what else should I do?
When you think about treating a sprain, think RICE:
REST – stay off your ankle when you can (easier said than done!). The more you have to be up and around on it, the longer it will take to heal. For severe sprains, sometimes a few days of no weight bearing (i.e., using crutches) is recommended.
ICE – swelling reaches it's peak at about 48 hours post injury. So icing a sprain (a 20 min application of cold packs, 2-3 times a day), can help reduce swelling.
COMPRESSION – Use of an ace wrap or other mild compression dressing helps keep swelling in check. Most people also feel that it helps ease discomfort by providing support to the injured part.
ELEVATION – when sitting down, pop your foot up on a chair or cushion. This also helps keep swelling in check.
Use of non steroidal anti-inflammitory medications (NSAIDS like Advil or Aleve) can also help decrease soft tissue swelling and discomfort.
Hope you feel better soon!
Approximately how long does an ankle sprain usually take to heal?
I sprained mine in January of this year, and it still isn't much better. The swelling isn't as bad, but it still is swollen regardless. I can't run, and I really want to get back in shape. I have been icing it too. I can't afford to go tot he doctor right now because my dad can't find a job still, so any tips to make it feel better as soon as possible without a doctor visit would be helpful. Like how long should I stay off of it, as I have been moderately jogging on it, and it's swollen up more. Thanks
I sprained my ankle when I was 6 years old. I'm now 20 years old and it's still sprained. I don't know how others solve this problem, however the only choice I had was just get used to the uncomfortable feeling.
Need help with ankle sprain?
Yesterday i sprained my ankle terribly, it swelled up to a little less than a golf ball, when i hurt my ankle i also hurt my calf on the other leg making it extremely painful to walk, so how long could it be till i recover and anything to make me recover faster
what is my ankle sprained stage if after 1 week i was able to walk and MOST of the swelling have been gone?
I sprained my ankle about 2 weeks ago. After 1 week, i was able to walk pretty well and most of the swelling have been gone. Now it's almost 2 weeks but i haven't seen any significant recovery from the ankle. How long does it take for my ankle to completely healed up.(I sprained it when i was playing rollerblade, when it is sprained i heard 2 crack sound (sound pretty creepy :D)
The last time I heard 2 crack sounds in my ankle I fractured my lateral malleolar and buckled by Medial malleolar. After 3 months, 2 casts, a mechanical boot, and a lace up brace I am still not at full function….I would actually advise you go and see a doctor even though you can walk on the foot, just in case.
I've heard of some ankle sprains taking months to heal.

Sprained Ankle/Massive Swelling and Bruising?
i was playing basketball about 10 days ago, and i jumped very high for a rebound and landed on someone's foot…i sprained the outside of my ankle.
i've had really bad sprains before, but this one is different. i have swelling halfway up my leg, bruising on the outside and inside of the ankle, including along the bone up my leg.
on the top surface of my foot, there is a lot of swelling and it feels like it's full of shards of glass.
don't tell me i should go to the doctor, b/c i already know that.
i just want to know if anyone has had a similar experience and what your rehab regiment/timetable was.
thanks in advance!
Ice, elevation and anti-inflamatories. Also, invest in a stirrup style ankle brace (which you would probably be put in after a doctors visit anyways). Wear the brace for the next 4-6 weeks and any time you play basketball. Base your activity level on your pain level–if it hurts, don't do it.
Is it just a bad ankle sprain?
back on june 21 i sprained my ankle playing basketball. it swelled up immediately and stayed a pretty huge size for a while. i forced myself to walk on it like 3 days after it happened, b/c of convenience issues at the time. i had an x-ray a week after it happend and it didnt show anything. i remained unactive for 7 weeks, nothing more than walking. after 7 weeks i began running cross country but then eventually had to stop like half way through the season b/c it was getting pretty swollen. i stopped to make sure i could get w/e was wrong with my ankle taken care of before basketball season (which starts on monday!). so i didnt run on it for roughly 5 weeks. i started running again like 2 weeks ago to kinda get in shape for basketball.
so right now, i still have some minor swelling – maybe a bit more than that. there is also pain, but its not in one specific place at all times. when i tap on the inside part of the ankle bone it hurts and almost feels as if it shoots up like 3 inches or so. when i point my toes up it also feels really stressed right behind that inside part of the ankle bone. and there is some pain near the outside front…most of the swelling is on that outside part of the ankle bone.
is this worth getting looked at again? possible a 2nd x-ray?
any contributions are greatly appreciated! thanks!
A severe sprain is certainly possible, but I think if you are experiencing pain that radiates up the ankle bone (and especially if this is the in side you sprained as opposed to the "outside of the ankle"), there is a possiblity you could have an avulsion fracture which is common in deltoid ligament sprains.
It might be worth a trip to the orthopedist…sometimes avulsion fractures do not show up on standard x-rays for several weeks.

text: November 3, 2008. The pistons, 4-0, trade Chauncey Billups to Denver for Allen Iverson. And the air was let out of a 6 year balloon that was probably more 'hot air' than helium. At that point, this era of DEEtroit basketball was handed it's death notice and the Pistons, for 2009 anyway, has regulated itself to the normalcy of just another team with a star attraction. I was looking at my poster of the 2004 team and the eye of the tiger has definetly left this team. Billups WAS the soul (albeit not THE HEART) of this current squad and what he DID bring to the table for this franchise is not evident in the player we acquired for him: THE KEY WORD BEING 'STABILITY'. THUS, the following grades (name, ppg,rpg and apg); IVERSON 18.2, 3.2,5.0: One thing can not be denied about AI-his heart driven intensity. AI is a motorized cornucopia of ebbs and flows. Unfortunately, so is his inconsistency. Iverson's acquisition has been more of a distraction than an attraction. It is the one reason why ICONIC trades never seem to work out, because you always seem to spend the entire season comparing the two. It is why you dont trade Jordan for Drexler or James for Bryant. I expected so much more in this deal, but i will say AI has been 'hampered' by an inadequate coaching staff. But then again,,'coaches' don't shoot for the players either. GRADE: B- RIP 17.4, 3.0, 3.6: So , you went to the bench for the good of the team. BIG DEAL. Rip's initial distraction due to his reaction to the Cb trade, set this team back for the entire year. Failing to acknowledge what happens before teams take the court gives a distorted view of NBA reality. Emotions in after camp/midseason deals are very important(see the Sheed pick up in 04), so rest in Peace, Rip of old. THAT SAID, Rip has been very good lately...too bad THE TEAM has been very bad...And its time to take that DANG MASK OFF! GRADE: B- SHEED 13.0, 7.6. 1.36 blocks ...If I was to tell you those numbers were Andrew Bogut's, you would be calling him an average to so-so player. why does Wallace get such a pass? In a season where Wallace needed to 'step up' his game, Rasheeda has femininely decided to just play when he 'feels' like playing. His wild turnaround jumpers from the corner notwithstanding, Wallacewoman has played 1572 minutes and has ATTEMPTED, get this, 72 FREE THROWS!! COMPARE this to Jason maxiel who in 61% fewer minutes, has attempted 89 free throws. Nuff said. GRADE: C- PRINCE 13.7, 6.3, 3.3... If Tay was the 6th man, that I always clammored him to be, his numbers would be exceptional. But of all the members of the Goldmedal Olympic Team playing today, OUR Tay has the lowest average. I still believe despite all the 'hype' bestowed upon him, Tay's numbers are what we THOUGHT THEY WERE. He is 13pts and 6 rebs which means he can get 20 pts one night and 7 pts the next. He's average and we need to accept that. Also, his defense is not as good as hyped either. But i can credit that to many nights playing out of position. GRADE: C MCDYESS 7.3, 8.6 (15.6 reb per 48 min)...Dyess has been as tenacious on the boards as any piston since Ben. true, his legs have seen better days, but can you imagine Wallace having the desire to excel that Dyess does. However, he concedes WAy too much on offense and can be beaten on baseline and pick and rolls on defense. He needs to stay our 7th man, but I guess Curry knows what he's doing. (thats called sarcasm) GRADE: B STUCKEY 13.7, 3.4, 4.9 ...I dont know who's 'wise guy' attitude thought The Butler was ready to be a starter, but lets just say when he became one, the chances for a title dimminished to nothing. The last rookie point guard to take his team to the Finals was Magic and HE had Norm Nixon to share from. Stuckey IS a rookie in my eyes, beacuse he is learning his role on the go. But let's just say that his future is bright. He is strong and relentless to the rack. He is a sharp passer, but his defensive instincts are not there yet. I believe that if Billups were here, he'd still have the same numbers , but our record would be 10 games better. GRADE: B BENCHIES: AMIR, MAX AND AFFLALO....What a waste of , if not talent, at least 'effort' players. These three have tenacity and uncapped ferociousness. The system here does not play to their strengths: trapping, going to the hole and playing above the rim. I think they have all played well WHEN allowed to play and never slack when on the floor. GRADE: B- rest of the bench: KWAME, BYNUM, FABIO....I guess someone hasto keep the seats warm. Brown is exactly the player he has always been. he has no IQ, much less an NBA one. Still, NOT playing at all was the wrong move, as well. Bynum has the guts, but only for 5 minutes a night before he thinks HE is chris Paul-light. Herrmann? geez. GRADE: D+ COACHES: CURRY, COWENS, PAT AND WALKER....If anyone expected a coach WITH NO PRIOR HEAD COACHING EXPIRIENCE, to lead this team anywhere ESPECIALLY without the one guy who was supposed to be his coach on the floor(Billups) this season, that person no less about LIFe than basketball. That's all that needs to be said. hard to blame Curry for Joe's mistake, but.....at least he WAs 4-0 with Billups. GRADE: D OVERALL, THIS SEASON can not overlook the very poor decision of Dumars' to hire curry and trade billups. He is reaping what he has sown and we are forced to eat the produce from his garden. Excuse me, while i regurgitate. GRADE: D

Is this efflorescence?
In November, we had a contractor build an outdoor fireplace that was finished smooth stucco. The structure walls were Hardie cement board. I'm not sure what other layers/coats of materials were used under the stucco.
When it was first completed, the stucco looked great; but after the recent rains we had here in Southern California, the entire finish is now covered with a while splotchy film (photos below.)
The contractor told me that this is efflorescence. I've seen photos and real-life examples of efflorescence, and while problem looks similar this seems to be much worse than any example I've seen. The white film covers the entire structure.
We have another structure, built by another mason, finished with the same stucco, that is not exhibiting any of these problems.
I suspect the the contractor did something incorrect in the finish. I understand that efflorescence is normal, but whatever this is, it looks really bad.
I've read up on suggestions for cleaning, but haven't tried anything yet except vinegar, which did nothing. I'm not looking forward to scrubbing the whole thing with a stronger acid, but it seems to be the only alternative.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
