i suggest you try it again...if you did it for 3 years, youll probably pick up on the stuff you already knew pretty quickly...14 isnt that old, just keep in mind you probably wont make the olympics...youll probably regret it for the rest of your life if you dont try it again..i mean, what have you got to lose?

I have a similar delema, my bf goes to a public school, when i go to an arts skool. We made it work out and you probably can too. Just go to the school that you get accepted into its hard to get into some private school so dont limit yourself because of a girl that you like when your 14 (or however old you are) Girls will come and girls will go but you need that education (haha i sound like my mother oh, wait thats not funny what am i going to do im old!) Well i hope everything words out for you. best of luck

Has the patient been treated in any way for lymphedema?  Lymphedema that is untreated can cause venous statis ulcers.  The patient should see a lymphedema therapist and possibly a wound treatment center or wound specialist.  If neither are available in the area, an infectious disease doctor.  The treatment for lymphedema would be complete/complex decongestive therapy which is made up of manual lymph drainage, compression, skin care, and specific exercises to promote lymph flow.  The manual lymph drainage therapy is similiar to a medical massage, it's bodywork that specifically focus's on moving the stagnant fluid to circulate and be transmitted out of the body.  It feels like a massage.  Sometimes skin grafts are done in extreme circumstances but being conservative first is better simply due to the risk of infection, and now since the patient has lymphedema, any surgery puts him/her at further risk for more areas of lymphedema.  When you say the ulcer spreads, if it looks the least bit infected, cellulitis may be present, the patient would need strong antibiotics, possibly IV in hospital or at home.  Infection must be cleared up in order to start lymph drainage therapy.  If you need help in finding a treatment center or therapist, you may email me from my website below and I will help you find one.

Well I had rehab after my injury, I was much stronger after the rehab just due to the weight training trying to get back you being 14 will make a difference you are still growing and that makes it easier for you body to heal its self. It isn't easy so you've got to be patient.

As a teen I had the same problem which was easily resolved with 2 hormone shots. These days doctors won't give them because it is a steroid. My grandson has this problem and his doctor told him it would change around age 16, lol.\n\nI had a trainer at a gym give me advise that I believe would help. While working out doing butterflies, make sure you thrust the chest out hard and do as many reps as you can. They will get very sore at first but the fat will soon disapear and become something you'll be proud to have. I hope this helps some.

I'm in North Carolina, United States.  I am 38 years old.  In 2004, I got blisters on my feet from participating with my class in the annual field day.  The blisters got all infected and resulted in an amputation and a really nasty blood infection which zapped my kidneys.  I've been on dialysis ever since.\n\nI tried to teach while on dialysis, but I just didn't have the stamina to keep up with 19 first graders.  I love them dearly and I want them to have the best.  So, I've gone on medical leave and will resign at the end of the year.  It's so sad because I loved it and I was very, very successful.\n\nWhat am I doing now?  I'm going to school to become a Certified Internet Web Designer. I think I might design some educational sites for children.

It is likely a swollen lymph node and not a big deal.  However, I just got finished being treated for Hodgkin's Disease (Lymphoma, cancer in the lymph nodes and lymphphatic system)\n\nI had nodes in my neck and arm pit swell and the ones under my arm were tender even though it was cancer (often if they're tender it's just a benign cyst and nothing to worry about)\n\nYou should never feel stupid when it comes to ensuring your own health!  I just turned 25.  A lot of people didn't believe I had anything serious either, even my doctors at first, and I had cancer!  So it's best to just get to the doctor and get it dealt with early.  Luckly we caught mine in stage two and now I'm in full remission.

My daughter has Lupus.  She is 35 years old now and was diagnosed when she was 16 years old.  She had 2 children in her early 20's and is doing fine.  She is still on steroids now and probably always be.

Unfortunately, yes.  In me it surfaced on my face around puberty (13 or so) and I still have to use medication daily.  It runs in my family (younger cousin, both grandmothers, and aunt) and I haven't seen it subside in anyone.
