Received an IV just over 3weeks ago in my wrist (ouch). In the last 7days or so my entire arm is in pain, with my vein protruding along the forearm, making a slight bruise along the path of the vessel. I notified the doctors office asap, and was told by a nurse that I should use a warm compress and "move the vein around." Um no thank you- not comfortable with that. So here I am only a few days after being reassure that I am OK, but NOW both my hands/fingers are also very cold with my left foot + toes extremely numb and discolored. Clearly an issue, but it's 330am and I'm desperately seeking some piece of mind so I can finally sleep for a few hours. Definitely going to the clinic in the morning tho!!!! Please help

I had fracture of the fifth metatarsal in my right foot three months ago. My ortho surgeon advised me to wear an Aircast short boot. I wore it for more than two months. After my 3rd xray showed more callus formation, he allowed me to remove it already and just wear shoes with flat hard sole. The x ray result stated that there is more callus formation. Demineralization of bones is appreciated. What does it mean that demineration is APPRECIATED? Is this positive? Thank you.

Demineralization is local osteoporosis due to disuse as you have been protected from full weight bearing as you had a fracture. this is normal and would soon be recovered as you bear normal weight by remodeling. this is the normal process of healing of bone and you should not worry. ...
