I'm going for an MRI this week on my ankle. Should I take off my nail polish? I know that tatoos must be covered. Anyone know?

I'm a nurse and helped with MRI's all the time.  No one ever had to remove polish or cover tattoo's.

Be different! Offer a pedicure coupon (both men & women love them). See if a nail salon will barter/give you a price break. Then, just a couple of small adds stating "we'll do the taxes-you pamper yourself" etc should do it-word of mouth!

Some have machines, others use their hands. It's really a wonderful experience, not really painful in a bad way... this pain is awesommmmmee! :)  If you're really outta line they may want you 3 times a week. You can't just go once and be cured. If you do go once, your bones will move to the right place and just move back to where they were comfortable before. If they are continually manipulated to where they should be, they will start getting comfortable and stay aligned. Geez, I really should be going! Call around for a quote. Many places will give you a free consultation and x-ray if necessary.

Not to be mean but I wanted to give you a heads up and let you know that I believe frosted tips are out for guys.  You might want to change your hair and get rid of the jean jacket.  The earrings are cool though.  Do you have any other piercings?

yep.  It could be temporary...from swelling related to the procedure itself. Sounds like she has 'drop foot' which can be corrected with AFO (ankle foot orthotics).

Clean both the earrings AND the areas where you have the peircings with hydrogen peroxide twice a day and be patient.  I did that several years ago and I remember it hurting for quite a while.  I'd even say a month or two.  Just because it hurts doesn't mean it's infected, but the redder it is the more likely it is infected.  Cartilage peircings tend to get infected pretty easily, so just keep it clean!!

I have probably 6 pr. of gloves on this tiny piece of turf. IF I put them on, they come off within 5 minutes...my nails are a mess in the summer!\nJust today (Nov 15) walking out to my car to go to work, I pulled up a weed and tossed it...there was mud under my fingernails, and that's how I showed up for my first appointment. I only see the weeds and plants needing a little help, not the repucussions to my fingernails.

I would go to the tattoo studio and talk to whoever will be doing the tattoo.  If s/he doesn't take you seriously, find a different artist.  Your artist should be willing to sit down and discuss this with you before you get a tattoo.  They should be aware of conditions where people should not get tattoos.  \nDepending on your condition (I'm aware that with both syndromes you can experience a variety of wide ranging characteristics), I would think it would be OK.  If your doctors were vague and no one was explict that you shouldn't get a tattoo, go ahead with it but talk to your tattooist about your condition, chances are he's seen all kinds people, probably some with some serious conditions.\nCongratulations on your daughter!

Yes, you need to see a doctor. The nail is dead and you may infect your toe if you are not careful. Do not dig at it you might cause further damage

My husband had this procedure done but they used the chemical right after they removed it.  They didn't guarantee it would work as it's difficult to get into the correct area.  They just swabbed it on and into the abscess left by the toenail.  It appears that the nail is growing back now, 6 months later.  They did tell us that just because it became ingrown before does not mean that it won't grow back correctly.  I understand you wanting to avoid the pain though, as my husband suffered for a long time before having it removed.  He was pleasantly surprised at how little the procedure bothered him in the end.  \n\nI'm sorry that I can't help with the specific information you requested but possibly I helped a little.  I would recommend you call the office to inquire about it. I think a nurse could provide you with the answers you are seeking.\n\nGood luck!

cbs sportsline says:\nPhiladelphiaFlyers.com reports an MRI revealed that Carter has a fracture of the distal end of his left tibia, inside the left ankle area. "Over the past couple of days the inflammation in Jeff’s ankle had subsided. He has been able to walk better, but he still had point tenderness over his ankle. Speaking with our medical staff we felt it was warranted to get an MRI and investigate his injury a little bit closer. The MRI did reveal a crack," trainer Jim McCrossin said.\n\nIt sounds like you're looking at late December.  The Flyers need all the help they can get, so let's hope its sooner than later!

Over time your feet will form bunions and your back will have permanent damage. Can you picture how attractive you will look with those ailments? If I where you, I would cut back the number of days that you wear heals and gradually stop wearing them but for three hours or less when you do. Anymore than that and you'll pay with your health.

I didn't have mine done on my shoulder (i have one on my ankle) and I worried about the pain factor too.  It really didn't "hurt" alot, it just felt weird, and a little uncomfortable.  The closest thing that I can compare it to is a burning sensation, like when someone burns you with a cigarette. It felt like that being dragged on my ankle.  I actually got used to the feeling after a few minutes.  But also if you are that concerned they also have a topical anethesia you can get.  Talk to the artist doing it.  If they do not have it contact a local waxing or hair lasering place to see if they sell it.  Good luck.

For them, I suppose it was a form of expression. For me? When I get magic marker on my finger I freak out. I guess what I'm saying is, what is too much for one person, is really nothing to another. I have no tattoos...but I have an appendix scar. :D Wanna see?

When our son was in middle school he had the very same surgery on both toes. Three weeks later he was wearing hiking boots on a Boy Scout trek and back packing up the side of a mountain. The skin under where the toenails used to be is tender right now because it's used to being protected by the toenail, and suddenly the toenail's not there. It will take a few days for the skin to toughen up a little. It will get better rather quickly. I know it won't seem quick to you, but it will be over soon.

No, sorry it won't draw out the ingrown toenail!\n\n....This is what my doctor told me to do....\n\n1. Soak it in warm water for about 5 to 10 minutes. (adding something to the water is not necessary)!\n\n2. Dry it really well.\n\n3. Take some Hydrogen Peroxide put some on a Q-tip and apply it to the affected area.\n\n4. Rince off the peroxide. Dry really well (blow dryer suggested)\n\n5. Next you will need to have some (Betadine) (Povidone Iodine Topical Solution). Take another q-tip dip it in and apply to the toe making sure you cover the whole affected area. \n\n6. Dry with a blow dryer to make sure it is really dry! The only time it should be covered with a band-aid is if you have your shoes on.. The more air it gets the better..\n\n7. This will have to be done three times a day.\n\nWithin 3-5 days i saw a big improvement (it really depends on how bad it is.\n\nIt is very painful.......\n\nHope this helps you!\n\nIf you do all of this it should go away!\n\nHope this works for you! Hope you feel better!\n\nI know i am probably too late answering this question. Sorry! :-(
