Joint replacements carry the same dangers as well as other major surgeries, like a chance of infections or blood clots. You’re most at risk for these problems if you have heart disease, diabetes that’s not well controlled, or a weak immune system — your body’s defense against germs.

“There are two main reasons to have a joint replacement,” says Charles Bush-Joseph, MD, professor of orthopedic surgery at Rush University Medical Center. “The best reason is pain relief.”

Verbal abuse is not always considered as serious as other forms of violence but the effects can be devastating.

Verbal abuse doesn’t leave physical bruises, but it can cause deep and lasting mental scars. But help is available.

When it comes to domestic abuse, we think of the external signs: black eyes, broken bones, bruises or bleeding. But…[Read more]

Many people will try to blame domestic abuse on a variety of factors, and although these factors may increase the likelihood of domestic abuse, they are not the cause of domestic abuse.

Domestic abuse is a matter of choice for perpetrators. They choose to exert power and control over their victims.

Many factors can contribute to domestic violence, but none excuse hurting another person. Partners who are in healthy relationships respond to problems by talking things out together—or sometimes by seeking therapy—and do not turn to controlling or abusive behavior. You have a right to be respected in all aspects of your relationship.

Spiritual abuse. This is not a simple situation that one could experience.

They may perceive normal set-backs (having to work additional hours, being asked to help out, receiving a parking fine, etc.) as grave personal…[Read more]

We all cried when we were babies. But now that we’re adults, many of us often try to hold back our tears in the belief that crying — particularly at work or in public — is seen as a sign of weakness, or as something to be ashamed of. But is it? Or is the act of shedding tears actually healthy?

Having a good cry can sometimes be just what the…[Read more]
