Hi Yongkun, a hairline fracture should heal reliably given 1-3 months, but it may take extra time. The fracture might appear to be completely healed, but keep in mind that the bone needs to remodel 1% per year. Every day you wait will give you one more week until the bone is back to 100%. If you start "bearing weight" early enough after injury, then bolster with immobilization once extra stability is needed for support it should be fine.
Of course there are other factors that can influence how well a bone heals like smoking and diabetes which can increase your risk of added complications - so avoid these behaviors if possible by quitting smoking and taking care of your blood sugar before a break or fracture occurs!

Hello Yongkun, thanks for your query.  A pop sound or sensation in your ankles or knees with exercise is a fairly non-specific symptom. Generally so long as the joints function well and the discomfort doesn’t persist, there should not be any major issues. However in come cases the pops can be due to some laxity or hyper mobility and other causes, and if the symptoms are troublesome it can be useful to get it checked out by a De

@pinkonrs I am sorry to hear you are dealing with symptoms like these. Having high white blood cell count is quite non-specific when you are experiencing GERD symptoms. Constipation does not cause high white cell count. It is possible you have other conditions causing the symptoms you are experiencing right now such as gallstone condition blocking the bile duct or diverticulitis.


Sorry for any inconvenience this causes! 
While I cannot diagnose from here, it would be important for further conversations should be from a health care professional in order to get more accurate information about what might be happening with your blood stool and acid reflux symptoms. 

Not all mental illnesses can be prevented, but stress can be reduced by parents when they place fewer unrealistic expectations on their children. Parents can also walk the talk by showing that they themselves lead healthy physical and mental and emotional lives themselves so the children have good role models to mimic. When parents are stressed and act out at their kids, kids fare worse. For more parenting help specific to your situation, do contact me at www.jadelifeandwellness.com and I’d be happy to help.

Hello. I know how you feel. It can be very overwhelming when you’re the only caregiver to many. First of all, remember that not everything needs to be done at once, so prioritise your time well.

Secondly, every person- including those you are caring for- is accountable for his actions. So feel free to delegate responsibility, like homework to kids, taking meds to older folks, and bedtime to everyone. It may be hard at first as they push boundaries, but you have to let them fail first and let them try again.

Lastly, don’t forget to take care of yourself. If you need to schedule personal time for yourself, do so. It should rank as highly as tuition class for kids. Don’t wait for a complete breakdown before declaring you need emergency rest, otherwise that ‘MC’ will affect even more people. Schedule rest regularly so things can go as planned (as much as possible anyway).

If you would like to be coached to achieve your goal, do drop me an email at www.jadelifeandwellness.com and I’d be happy to assist.

Hi! Different people manage their work-life balance differently. Some people respond to external factors, whereas others respond to internal factors. It’s important to understand yourself first so you can make a plan for you that works. If you’d like to contact me at www.jadelifeandwellness.com I’d be happy to talk to you so you can understand the situation you’re in, what is happening around you and inside of you, what you’d like to achieve and make an action and accountability plan based on your resources and challenges.

Hello there. I am glad you’re reaching out for help. For mental illness it is important to speak to a psychiatrist who is a doctor that is trained to diagnose and treat illnesses. Another suggestion if you don’t need a doctor but need some help exploring emotions might be a counsellor or a therapist. And if you’d simply like a listening ear to help you visualise a goal and achieve it, a coach like myself might do. If you decide a listening ear in the form of a coach is what you need, do reach out at www.jadelifeandwellness.com  and I’d be happy to help. There are also other life coaches that offer the same positive, goal-directed  approach so feel free to reach out to whomever suits your needs.

Hi! I understand it must be difficult for you to manage a family with five children to care for. It’s important that you look after yourself as well and I’m glad you’ve reached out. Areas you can consider to improve your self-care would be not just to look after your mental health but also your physical health as they affect each other. Also, maintain good care in your social and financial life as they tend to affect your overall wellbeing. Specifically for good mental health do consider the things you enjoy doing, and if they are healthy, make time for them. Although you are managing five children you shouldn’t forget to schedule time for yourself, no matter if it is only 20 min a day. If you’d like to speak to me as a coach to help you with maintaining good mental health, send me a request at www.jadelifeandwellness.com and I’d be happy to set up an appointment there.

Hello! You’ve mentioned a few things: having worked for several years, once being happy but now no longer and that you don’t want to resign. It’s difficult to give advice on how to achieve better work life balance without knowing a little more about these areas. It’s also unclear whether it is a poor work life balance that is causing you to be “no longer happy”. It might be better for you to speak to someone who knows the situation better, such as a mentor at work. If you’d like to have a coach speak with you, you may contact me at www.jadelifeandwellness.com and I’d be happy to reply to your email.

Hi there. Not all mental illnesses can prevented, but some mental illnesses like Dementia can be slowed by having good physical health or at least good control of chronic illnesses like Hypertension and Diabetes, and by participating in group activities like gardening, forest walks and choral singing.

Good mental health in general can also be maintained by learning how to manage stress well, having a general sense of fulfilment and having an accountability partner like your family, a friend or a life coach. For inquiries on coaching, please check out www.jadelifeandwellness.com but for questions related to mental illness do seek help from a psychiatrist who is trained to manage them.
