Use crutches to walk if you sprained an ankle or knee. Wear a sling for wrist or arm sprains. Wrap a splint around a sprained finger or toe and attach it to the digit next to it. Don’t avoid all physical activity because of the sprain, but avoid direct use of the injured joint for at least 48 hours or until the pain subsides. If you are involved in sports, talk to your coach, trainer or doctor about when you can return to sports....
Use what you have on hand. Once the bleeding is under control, you can clean the wound or help the person get treatment from a doctor. This will keep you and the victim from sustaining further injuries while you treat the wound. If you’re in the woods or away from running water, you can pour water from a water bottle over the wound. Small debris (gravel-sized or smaller) can be removed with tweezers....
Call 911 if you have any trouble breathing. This is especially true if you inhale smoke from burning poison ivy. Call the doctor if the rash is on or around your eyes, covers a large part of your body, or seems to be infected (fever, swelling or oozing). Here are tips to relieve the itching and rash. Some of these work better than others, so it’s really a personal choice, and maybe a little trial and error:...
The ice will slow down any blood flowing to the bruised area, reducing swelling and discoloration. If you decide to use a frozen food bag, go with small products like peas since they can easily adjust to your facial shape. Keeping your head up may also reduce any pain you’re experiencing around the bruised area. In some cases, drugs like aspirin may even cause unintended bleeding. If you’re experiencing a lot of pain during the first 24 hours, use a brand of acetaminophen like TYLENOL or Ofirmev to treat your pain....
Provide protection by padding the joint, especially if it’s in the lower half of your body. For instance, wear knee pads if your bursitis is in your knees, and you need to continue kneeling. Give your joint as much of a break as possible by staying off of it. For instance, try different exercises that don’t hurt the area near the joint that is inflamed. Use ice packs wrapped in a cloth....
5+ chinch bugs per can: a serious infestation. Continue to the next step for treatment. 2–4 chinch bugs per can: low-level infestation. Improve lawn health and test again later. Treat immediately if your lawn is in poor health. 0–1 chinch bug per can: no treatment necessary. If your lawn is in poor health, there is probably another cause. Alternatively, you might also take a close look at the lawn with a magnifying glass....
Try warming the socks up in your dryer before you put them on so they’re nice and toasty. Look for thermal socks in the winter clothes section of your local department store, or order a pair designed for cold weather online. Be sure to rub the menthol into your feet rather than just applying it in a layer. This can help increase your circulation. For instance, you could sit on the edge of your bathtub and place your feet under running water....
Rest your knee as much as possible. Most people still need to walk and do simple movements with a knee that has inflammation. If this is the case for you, at least try to avoid strenuous activity on the knee. If the inflammation has not improved after 1-2 days, you should see your doctor. Apply an ice pack for 15 minutes of every hour. Doing this for 3 to 4 hours in a row will reduce inflammation drastically....
Be patient when working with your hamster. Remember that it will take time for him to get use to you, and to being handled. If you lose your patience, it will frighten him, prolonging the process even more. If your hamster badly needs his nails trimmed, but is too wild to be handled, take him to your vet where they can use a sedative to take care of the nails. Have plenty of treats ready during the taming process, too!...
Digital tuners are the best option for new cello players. Since the tuner tells you how to adjust the strings, you do not need to know how each string should sound. Some newer tuners clip directly onto the cello. Place it above the tuning pegs rather than on the strings. You can pluck the strings to play them. However, using a bow leads to more precise tuning. C-G-D-A is standard tuning for cellos....

Most diaper lovers are male, employed, and in their mid-30’s. [2] X Research source More men than women engage in diaper behaviors, such as wearing a diaper, wetting, and messing in the diaper.

You can only take by en passant right after the pawn you’d be capturing moved. If you do not take en passant on the subsequent move you have forfeited the ability to take en passant. Likewise, if you ended up in the same position in any way other than your opponent moving their pawn up two spaces you cannot take by en passant. [3] X Research source Your opponent must have moved their pawn two squares forward....
Such as child, grandchild, great grandchild, great great grandchild. Again, it may be child, grandchild, great grandchild, great great grandchild. Your relationship to your cousin’s child is “first cousin once removed”, because you added one generation to the relationship. However, the relationship between your child and your first-cousin-once-removed would be “second cousin”, because they are both great-grandchildren of a common ancestor.
Sometimes, pups with small dog syndrome are also really anxious because their owners are overprotective. Owners might not take the time to train their small dogs, enforce healthy boundaries, or give them outlets to express their natural canine and breed-specific behaviors. A toy poodle, for example, may not be taught to sit and greet a guest, while a boxer would. When it’s time to go for a walk, does your dog nip at you or growl when you try to put on a leash?...

You can use a basin wrench on any plumbing nuts that are hard to reach, like under your sink, or behind a toilet or appliance. Basin wrenches come with differently-sized jaws to fit around smaller or larger nuts. Get a basin wrench with a built-in light if the space underneath your sink is dark. That way, you’ll get a better view of the nuts without having to hold a flashlight....
