View allI fractured a muscle in my right leg a few months ago and now Im seeing these dark lines on the nerves in my thigh. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a serious issue?
The dark lines on your nerves could be due to bruising or inflammation. It is important to monitor for any changes in sensation, color, or temperature in that area. To help with healing and reduce inflammation, you can take ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed. Make sure to rest your leg and elevate it when possible. If the dark lines persist or if you experience worsening symptoms, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Does drinking beer impact ACL surgery recovery I'm doing my physiotherapy daily but wondering if I should start gym workouts too
It's generally not recommended to drink alcohol after ACL surgery, especially in the initial stages of recovery. Alcohol can interfere with the healing process, potentially leading to complications like increased bleeding or infection. It can also disrupt your sleep, which is crucial for recovery

I'm having some trouble with my lower back. While taking a bath, I bent down to soap my legs, and suddenly my lower back started hurting. The pain is now spreading to my legs, and I can't really move around much. It's tough for me to stand or sit properly, and bending down or stretching backward is almost impossible. This started happening around 11:15 am, and it's been 2 hours now. Any advice on what I should do?
Itching After Masturbation: Possible Causes and Solutions_ The itching sensation you're experiencing after masturbation could be related to several factors. Before we discuss medication, let's explore possible causes: 1. *Allergic reactions*: You might be allergic to your own semen or lubricants used during masturbation. 2. *Skin conditions*: Existing skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis can be triggered by masturbation. 3. *Hormonal changes*: Fluctuations in hormone levels, particularly testosterone, can lead to itching sensations. 4. *Nerve stimulation*: Masturbation can stimulate nerves, causing itching or tingling sensations. _Medication and Treatment Options_ To alleviate the itching, consider the following: 1. *Antihistamines*: Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or loratadine (Claritin) can help relieve itching and reduce allergic reactions. 2. *Topical creams*: Over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion can soothe itchy skin. 3. *Moisturizers*: Keeping your skin hydrated with gentle moisturizers can help reduce itching. _Lifestyle Changes and Precautions_ 1. *Practice good hygiene*: Wash your hands and genital area before and after masturbation. 2. *Avoid harsh soaps*: Use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers to minimize skin irritation. 3. *Reduce frequency*: Consider reducing the frequency of masturbation to see if the itching subsides.
