Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Rest your leg. Apply ice to your knee. Place heat on your knee. Manage pain with medication. Move your leg gently. Undergo rehabilitation.

Answer: Give your leg a chance to rest every day. Immobility can help you heal properly and minimize pain or discomfort. Wiggle your toes and lower leg if it doesn't cause too much pain to prevent stiff joints. Apply an ice pack to your leg throughout the day for the first two to three days. The ice can reduce inflammation and pain and promote healing. Use ice as often as necessary for 1520 minutes at a time. Wrap the ice pack in a towel to protect your skin from the cold. If the ice is too cold or your skin numbs, take it off. After two to three days, place heat on your knee. This helps relax tightened muscles and ligaments and helps your knee heal. Apply heat for 20 minutes at a time. Remove heat if it gets too hot or hurts. You should have a towel or cloth as a barrier between your skin and the heat source. Use heating blankets or patches to heat your knee. You may have pain and discomfort with your dislocation. Take a pain reliever to reduce discomfort and help you relax. Take over-the-counter medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, or acetaminophen. Ibuprofen and naproxen sodium can reduce inflammation. If you are in a lot of pain, ask your doctor to prescribe a pain reliever with a narcotic. Giving your leg and knee a chance to rest can help the healing process. Avoid excessive movement and favor doing gentle movements to get blood flowing and prevent stiff joints. Start by wiggling your toes and moving your leg gently back and forth and then side to side. Stretch your quads by lying on your stomach and bending your leg back to grasp your ankle. Gently pull your heel toward your butt. Hold this position as long as you can and gradually increase your time. Stretch your hamstrings by lying on your back with a belt or towel looped over the ball of your foot. Straighten your leg and slowly pull the belt to raise your leg while keeping the opposite leg on the floor. Keep raising your leg until you feel a gentle stretch. Hold it for as long as you can and gradually increase your time. Ask your doctor if there are any movements or light exercises you can do to promote healing and avoid stiffness. Your doctor may suggest rehabilitation or physical therapy once your sling or splint is removed. Attend rehabilitation sessions until you receive the OK from your physical therapist. Attend rehabilitation under the direction of your doctor or another medical professional. Ask your doctor to suggest a physical therapist. Early rehabilitation could include simple movements that help promote blood flow and prevent stiffness in your knee. Physical therapy may help you regain muscle strength, joint motion, and flexibility.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Observe your hamster's behavior. Monitor how much your hamster eats and drinks. Take your hamster to your veterinarian. Talk to your veterinarian. Decide if euthanizing is best for you or for your hamster.

Answer: Emotions can make it very difficult to decide whether to euthanize a pet, even when the pet is very sick. To make the decision process a little easier, look objectively at your hamster's behavior. For example, watch how he walksif his back is arched or he is unsteady on his feet, he could be feeling extremely sick. Hamsters love to run and play. If your hamster stays hunched over in a corner of his cage, he is very uncomfortable and likely very sick. Make a list of several activities your hamster loves to do (e.g., run in his hamster wheel, gnaw on chew toys, etc.). If he no longer does those things, his quality of life has worsened, making euthanasia a reasonable option. Track his good days and bad days in a journal. When he starts having more bad days and good days, it is time to start considering euthanasia. When your hamster becomes so sick that he is no longer eating or drinking, he is letting you know that he is feeling pretty miserable. Not eating or drinking for as little as 24 hours can be very serious in hamsters. Talk to your veterinarian about euthanizing your hamster if it has been at least one day since your hamster ate or drank anything. Your veterinarian cannot make the decision to euthanize for you, but he or she can guide you through the decision process. One way your veterinarian can do this is to accurately diagnose your hamster. When you know the details of your hamster's sickness, and his prognosis, you can make a clearer decision on whether to euthanize him. Geriatric diseases in hamsters (e.g. liver failure, kidney failure, cancer) are those that occur after 18 months of age. They have no cure and can worsen a hamster's quality of life. Euthanasia is a reasonable option for hamsters with geriatric diseases. If your hamster has a geriatric disease, keep him as comfortable as possible until life has become too unbearable to him. This includes keeping him in a quiet area and handling him as little as possible. Discuss treatment options, if any, with your veterinarian. Be aware that your hamster could be so sick that he would not be able to tolerate intense veterinary care. Do not let your hamster suffer through treatment if it will not bring him better quality of life. You will probably have a lot of questions and concerns about euthanasia. During your appointment, discuss your hamster's sickness and the possibility of euthanasia. Ask your veterinarian questions about the euthanasia process, as well as options for cremating or burying your hamster. Consider asking your veterinarian if he or she thinks euthanasia is right for your hamster. No matter how your veterinarian answers, remember that only you can make the decision to euthanize your hamster. Ask your veterinarian if he or she performs at-home euthanasia. Be mindful that not all veterinarians will do this. If you have children, discuss the best way to tell them about euthanasia. Children do not always understand end-of-life issues, so you will have to be careful about explaining how ending a pet's life can be humane. Ask your veterinarian about local pet loss support groups. Ask as many questions as you can think of, and express any concerns you may have. Although euthanasia is a difficult topic, your veterinarian understands this difficulty and can help you talk things through. As if the euthanasia decision was not difficult enough, you should know whether you are considering your hamster's wellbeing or your own. You may feel unsure, or maybe even a little guilty, but your hamster's wellbeing should come first. If you are delaying the decision, ask yourself if it's because you are not ready to let your hamster go. Be aware that delaying your decision could be prolonging your hamster's suffering.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Drink water. Eat healthy. Consider supplements.

Answer:
It's incredibly important to stay hydrated while exercising. This is particularly true if you work out outdoors, especially in the hot summer months. Water is the best way to keep hydrated. You could consider sports drinks as well, but pay attention to the ingredients: many are full of sugar and sodium. You won't see much improvement from your exercise if you are constantly eating junk food. Eat a diet high in protein and "good" fats, such as fish, nuts, and dairy products. Avoid salty foods like potato chips, sugary snacks such as candy, and processed foods. It's important to do your research and find out what ingredients are in your supplements, and if they will truly benefit you. Look for products with carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, and essential amino acids. Be wary of products that sound too good to be true: they probably are.
