I have no idea... I have the exact same problem as you along with gynecomastia, which makes me feel fat when really im not that fat.

What if you are getting divorced but keep sleeping together?
I dont think that is the best thing to do, getting annulled and sleeping together??? y r u still sleeping with him? is it because u love him? or other reasons? if u sleep with him and u r getting divorced, i don't think that's appropriate because u guys r separating. if u care about him, keep the marriage going, and if u don't feel like ur relationship won't work out, leave him, but just don't sleep together anymore.
I agree with the person above. If you are getting a divorce that should be the end of all sexual things (no kissing, no sex, no sleeping together (even if you aren't doing anything)).

Bones break whenever an event supplies adequate force which exceeds the bone's resiliance to that stress. Bending, twisting, compression, and impact forces can provide instantaneous energy to do this but lower energies applied over longer periods, i.e., repetitive stress, can contribute. Vibrations, if of sufficient duration and strength, can exceed the ability to absorb energy successfully. as well. Wherever the force concentrates is where the break usually occurs.
We know that certain fracture/breaks are more problematic than others. Breaks in the femur neck are almost impossible to heal without surgical pinning or even complete replacement, whereas breaks in the ribs or clavicles are typically left alone to heal normally and are rarely treated surgically unless they are compounded fractures and threaten to poke inward towards the lungs.
they become stronger then and you grow taller, this is because you must adapt
What is the relationship between origin insertion and action of the skeletal muscles?
The end of the muscle that is attached to the stationary bone is the point of origin. The muscle end that is attached to the moving bone is the point of insertion, and the action is what the muscle actually does.
Joints are formed through the connection of two or more bones at a specific point in the body, allowing for movement and flexibility. The ends of the bones are often covered with cartilage, which provides a smooth surface for movement and absorbs shock. Ligaments, which are tough bands of connective tissue, help stabilize the joint by connecting bones to one another. Additionally, synovial fluid lubricates the joint, reducing friction during movement.
How do you repair a torn cervical ligament between the talus and calcaneus bones in the ankle?
super glue and duct tape.
This is not really a question that can be answered given the wording as it stands. A planet's radius has little or nothing to do with its MASS, which is what 'causes' gravity. For example, Jupiter is far larger than the Earth, but because its' mass is so much less (it's mostly gas, actually) scientists know that Jupiter exerts less gravity than the Earth. And if you had a planet that was smaller than the Earth, but much denser, then you would weigh more there than on the Earth.
What if you have no artries in your leg?
If you have no arteries in your leg, it would severely impair blood circulation to that area, leading to critical issues like tissue death and severe pain. This condition, known as critical limb ischemia, could result in gangrene and ultimately necessitate amputation if not treated promptly. Medical intervention, such as bypass surgery or angioplasty, may be needed to restore blood flow. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent serious complications.
Had accident 10 years ago but still hurt what can you do?
These kind of pains are usually self limiting and you can continue conservative treatments like stretching, general aerobic conditioning and strengthening exercises to maintain good flexibility, posture and biomechanics at home. Remember once injured, the area is at a mechanical disadvantage and more susceptible to re-injury. Stay active and if the recurrent pain is different from your usual pain or worsened from baseline, seek medical attention. There may be need for re-imaging, formal physical therapy sessions or medications or injections.
Answer
Depending on your injury, it may be beneficial to have your site of injury, medications and physical therapy re-evaluated. Ten years later, you may have some reduced muscle strength or your meds may have become ineffective. In the meantime, try water exercise, Tai Chi, yoga or other non-weight bearing exercise to see if you get relief for at least the time you are moving.
What is a bone in the head that starts with i?
The "Incus" , or anvil , is part of the ear found in the skull .

What is the name of the single bone in the upper arm?
The humerus. The humerus is a long bone. It can make blood cells. However, the flat, small, and irregular bones can make blood but not as much as the long bones( humerus, femur).
