My knee is killing me...
I can bare weight on it, but I'm unable to push on it (can't climb stairs)
I suspect it's from to much leg work and hill running, which has weakened the surrounding muscles temporarily
causing added strain on the ligaments... Amirite?
And you rock Merry!

Ps - vision for reading has become progressively worse since too0 -
My arm fell off ...is this the result of a possible zombie infection?0

You're most likely correct here Jessie. Muscle strain/overuse. Try RICE-ing.... even though i know you won't actually rest.1 -

It's probably a concussion. Slap a bandaid on it. You'll be fine soon.My arm fell off ...is this the result of a possible zombie infection?
I believe we have found patient Zero.....1 -

People always tell me that it doesn't matter what I look like on the outside because I am beautiful on the inside. I was wondering how much would it cost to peel off my face, so that the world could finally see my beauty? What is this procedure called, and does insurance cover it?
Please refer to the movie "Face Off" with good ol Nicolas Cage. This is not covered by any major insurance company, but I can offer you a cash price discount.1 -

Most likely a subdural hematoma in the area of the injury resulting in brain swelling that is affecting your vision. I've got a butter knife and some duct tape. I can fix it for you.3 -

Give it a few more weeks, just to make sure.

Jessie, that's a tough one. ER has the craziness and the trauma. ICU has the patients that are in very serious condition and are always trying to die on you.0
