I've been dealing with a concern that's been bothering me for a while. When I was around 12, I started dry humping on the bed, and this went on until I was about 16. Now, I'm 24 and I've noticed my thighs and legs look thin and kind of deformed. Could there be any connection to my past habits, or is there another reason they appear this way?

Possible Reasons for Thigh Changes
- Muscle Imbalance: Repeated dry humping might have led to overdevelopment of certain muscle groups, causing an imbalance.
- Poor Posture: Frequent pressure on your thighs and legs might have affected your posture, leading to uneven muscle development.
- Genetic Factors: Natural growth patterns and genetic predispositions can influence body shape and muscle distribution.

View allI broke my ankle about five months ago and used a cast for it, but didn't have any surgery. It's healed now, but sometimes I'm still getting pain and swelling. I already talked to an ortho, and they said no workouts for a year and that I don't need physical therapy or any other treatment. I'm really wondering if I should be using a crepe bandage, anklet, ankle binder, or ankle brace to fully recover and be able to start working out again. What do you think would be best?
-It's great that your ankle is healing, but since your doctor advised no workouts for a year, it's best to follow that. For support during daily activities, using an ankle brace or binder can provide stability, but avoid straining it until you're cleared

I've been dealing with severe pain for the past 30 days and visited both a general physician and an orthopedic specialist. They prescribed antacids, painkillers, and suggested using a splint, but I haven't seen any improvement. Is surgery the best option to relieve this pain or should I wait longer?
If severe pain persists for 30 days despite seeing a general physician and orthopedic specialist, further evaluation and specialized care may be necessary. Consider consulting a pain management specialist or other relevant specialist for advanced diagnostics and treatment options.

I had Achilles tendon repair surgery six weeks ago and just got my cast removed last week. My ankle feels really stiff so the doctor recommended some ankle motion exercises, but I've noticed swelling in my foot. Is this normal after cast removal? What can I do to help reduce the swelling?
Yes, swelling in your foot after cast removal is a common occurrence, especially after an Achilles tendon repair surgery, and it's normal to experience some stiffness and swelling after a cast is removed. The stiffness is likely due to inactivity during the cast period, and the swelling is from the release of pressure on the tissues. To help reduce the swelling, focus on elevation, ice, and consider compression socks, as well as following your doctor's recommendations for exercises and medication.
