fracture

Hi, I was just wondering if I could ask a question. This past weekend, I fractured the 5th metasarsal in my foot. (this is actually the 2nd time I have done this). Basically, I was just wondering if someone could tell me something that I could do (preferably cardio wise) with this fracture. Not being able to work out is going to kill me, so I was wondering if someone could give me some ideas. Thanks (oh yea, I am in a boot not a cast)

My name is Ramiro carreon.
I’m 14 years old and I have recurring shoulder tendonitis/bursitis. I went to therapy for 2 months and it went away for about a month but ever sice two weeks ago its came back. not as worst though. I work out regularly on a daily basis but only some of the exercises aggrevate the shoulder. I play baseball and I am a pitcher. before I got hurt I threw 80-85 mph since i’ve been hurt my velocity is very low. do you have any suggestions for me that don’t involve therapy because my dad isn’t the most undertanding person. please reply to me as fast as ypu can thank you. 6/09/14

Swollen feet and ankles

My husband drives a stand up forklift all day long.
The pedal vibrates his foot quite a bit all day long and by the end of the day his feet and ankles are really swollen.
I’m overwhelmed by all of the shoe inserts and don’t know which one would be the best for him. Could you recommend something.

Incorrect Bicep size

I was born a skinny kid, actually very healthy according to the doctos then. Lately I have been training my muscles to grow and I’ve noticed both my biceps are missing, about 25% missing. There is nothing there. I notice I have 3/4 of my muscle but the rest was never existant. Like I said from the back part of the bicep to about 3/4 of the way nothing is there. When I flex my arm it looks like its half gone. I just wanna know if its possible to place what was never there and how much something like that would cost. I’m a very jealous person and I see other men with gigantic biceps…Its not fair…Help please-Eric
