If it is not bothering him and there are no areas of inflammation/irritation you can watch it for now and see how he adapts. If it was my dog I would wait. There are always risks associated with surgery and I would not put him through another until I was sure.

First, I understand your frustration. Before I found out what my first trigger finger was, I was fully prepared to request amputation because it was making my entire hand useless. I've had 3 surgeries over the past 2 years, freeing 4 fingers and removing a ganglion cyst from one. Did your surgeon send you to physical therapy? You need to keep moving your hands and fingers, despite the pain. Scar tissue (adhesions) starts to form a couple of months out from the surgery.

Several years ago I was indirectly struck by lightning on my finger. Ever since I have had severe nerve pain. Cold is simply unbearable let alone if I hit my finger on anything. I have been to several doctors and NO one can help me. I have even attempted accupuncture to no avail. I am currenty taking Lyrica, which helps a little, but not much. I have tried topicals as well. I am to the point where I just want my finger amputated. The pain is just too much!! Any suggestions?

Hi, I met a guy and the only thing we did was him to finger me. he used a condom on his finger and lub(or what i think was lub). Is there a risk if there was semen in the lub(i know im paranoid)?

Having toe amputation in two weeks. Anyone know about balance,recoverytime,walking,reehab...Anything. I'M having no success finding info.

I guess im thinking about the risks (regarding hand job and finger in anus) with her hands/fingers, if they had cuts or sores. I didnt see sores or ask if there are cut/sores. How about the towels and bedding if reused. Does this pose a risk too since i was naked?

What are the risks associated with non-pentrative sex such as hand jobs, fingering.. What STD's if any, are transmitted via non-penetrative sex?

I'm not sure if this falls within your area of expertise, but I've been accidentally exposed to concentrated carcinogens, like DMF (not a lot, but it was concentrated) due to the fact that I worked as a chemist for a while. The DMF is known for causing testicular cancer and I had my finger soaked in it for a while (torn glove). It's suspected of aiding other carcinogens in developing cancer (like cigarette smoke).

3 days ago, I went to a hair salon to wash my hair, and my forehead was scratched a bit. If the finger of the one who washed my hair was bleeding as she was washing my hair, any risks for me to be infected? I just cannot stop thinking of HIV. I am worried to death.

I have been diagnosed with herpes whitlow in my right ring finger...it is a very insidius disease as it is prone to secondary infections and is very costly due to loss of work and topical and oral treatments.Today I start suppression therapy on Valtrex and Zovirax cream if needed.In the last two years I've had at least ten outbreaks and it is really getting me down. Is there any new treatments being researched for this disease?

should I put her through an amputation at this age. My vet is great, but, understandably, cannot tell me what she would do if it were her cat. She is scheduled for a series of tests to see if the cancer has invaded any other areas, if her remaining legs are strong enough (without arthritus), x-rays of chest, ultrasound of intestines and a complete blood workup to make sure she is disease free.

How is your husbands' finger? I also had a glomus tumor on my left ring finger just under the nail bed. I had it removed by surgery and it has now grown back. I was told that this tumor is very had to get completely since it is made up of a bundle of nerves and that there was a possibility that is could grow back. It is now more painful than ever. I bumped it just this weekend on a drawer handle and almost lost it.

Hello! I hope you get a reply for I am going through the same thing with my 70+ yr old Dad! Told he won't live through amputation so he said don't bother but the gangrene in one area is spreading so quickly! Other areas are dry but I am thinking this is wet! It is getting worse everyday! He has dry gangrene that hasn't changed at all! Hospice is involved now....the Hospice nurse hasn't given you any idea? I am told that sepsis is a possibility....

Dear doctors, I had a very bad incident and I'm really annoyed and anxious over what happened, Here is the situation : I met two girls from a bar they were CSWs and I was a bit drunk and agreed to take them both to my room. They kissed each other every where, then they licked each others pus*****. Meanwhile, I used a dildo on both of them, I never had any intercourse myself. After they finished, they started sucking my balls and one of them put her condom protected finger in my anus.

There was also some kissing and fingering. I did have a tiny cut on my finger beside my nail, but it had healed over. I was extremely drunk and regret the event. What risks am I of contracting hiv or any other std?

Hi there, I broke my leg in a bad skydiving landing and I have a lot of hardware around my right ankle. 2 metal rods and on both tibia and fibula, as well as a screw going through my malleolus? The accident was 30 months ago and walking still hurts and I can't run. I'm 33 years old with moderate asthma, no drug allergies or other major medical issues. How safe is the surgery to remove the metal hardware?

Stray from those*

which didnt bother me until a few days later when I realized I had a small scab on the knuckle of my finger and my mind has been in overdrive ever since. It probaly wasnt but say this scab was open and it came into contact with blood...while.grabbing the condom a few different times during the act...The finger was never inserted into the vagina...should I be worried about any stds...This whole.act was prob 5 minutes...Protected oral..protected vagina intercourse...

I am looking to find a t-shirt that will fit my dog following a front leg amputation. The sites I've found don't have sizes large enough for my dog, (a big Chesapeake, just under 100 lbs). Any ideas?

The only risks for HIV in adults are: 1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or 2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users. You had zero risk and there is no need to test for this event. HIV is never transmitted via a finger, even if it has cuts and scrapes.

I would say it would be a good idea to check it out, you may need a tetanus shot and it sounds like it is infected, put some OTC anti biotic cream on a band aid on it till you can get it checked out, Good Luck

Hi, my chinchilla, Screetch, had an emergency amputation of his right hind leg approximately one week ago. He remained in vet care until three days after the surgery. He came home with antibiotics and needing to be force fed. My question is two fold. First, will i need to supplement "good" bacteria, to replace those destroyed by the antibiotics?
