Problem: Article: These tests may  find the location of the nerve damage and its severity. Your doctor may also prescribe a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) test. Some of these tests, like an EMG can be done at your general practitioners. However, more invasive tests like an MRI may be conducted at a specialist or a hospital. If your doctor determines that your nerve damage is not causing long-term damage, you may be a candidate for a numbing or steroid injection called a "nerve root block." Nerve root blocks are usually done by a trained anesthesiologist in pain therapy. Steroids can help your body heal more quickly from nerve damage. Some types of nerve damage occur from compression or pinching. Minor outpatient surgeries are often sufficient to repair this damage. Criteria for surgery include symptoms of radiculopathy,  evidence of nerve root compression on an MRI, persistent nerve pain last longer than six weeks, and progressive motor weakness.  Minor surgery can be an arthroscopic surgery to unblock the pinched nerve or sew the damaged ends of the nerves together.  Another minor surgery is a nerve release, which can help to fix nerve compression seen in nerve damage like carpal tunnel syndrome. These may create more room for the nerve by dividing tissue, or by moving the nerve to a new location. The nerves may need to be re-trained with this special type of physical therapy. This re-education therapy is generally completed in two stages: “early” and “late.” It is the process of “tuning” your nerves into feeling sensations normally.  The early stage of this therapy is making sure your nerves can feel a wide scope of sensations, while the late stage is fine tuning the sensations to manageable sensations.  This type of therapy is generally done in outpatient physical therapy. The length of the sessions depends on the severity of the injury. Generally, this procedure does take some time, as it is essentially “retraining” the body to return to a normal range of function.
Summary: Undergo electromyography (EMG) or nerve conduction tests. Consider an injection to numb nerves. Consider minor surgery. Engage in nerve “re-education” therapy.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Anxiety often happens when you're worried about the future, which means you're not taking advantage of the present moment. Return to the here-and-now by focusing on your body, which is always present, even when your mind is far away. Practice some mindfulness by engaging your senses. Bring awareness to one sense at a time, then move onto the next one.  For example, start by noticing everything you hear and tune into the noises you often tune out. Do this for about a minute, then move onto your sense of smell. Pay attention to any smells you encounter and do this for another minute. Focus on each sense one at a time until you finish. If you're feeling anxious and cannot seem to get your mind off of death, pull back a moment and focus on your breath. Breathing is an easy way to refocus yourself and enter a calm state in your body and mind. It's one of the easiest ways to slow down and regroup. Try this: inhale for four seconds, hold it one two seconds, then exhale four seconds. Repeat until you feel calm, about six to eight breathing cycles. While meditation is good for anxiety, you can meditate on death to help you feel more calm about it. Get in a calm, relaxed state by sitting down, closing your eyes, then start your meditation. Imagine yourself on your deathbed and talking to the people you love most. What would you say? During your meditation, focus on the happy and positive aspects of life and recognize that change (including death and birth) is an inevitable part of life.

SUMMARY: Return to the present moment. Take some deep breaths. Meditate.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You should choose the gentlest cycle your washing machine has. It might be marked with a label like “delicates” or “lingerie.” Set your washing machine to the coldest water setting it has. Add the soap to the washing machine. Make sure you pour it on the bottom of the machine. This way all of the soap will be covered with water and  easily create bubbles. Use about a quarter of the amount of liquid soap you would for a regular load of laundry. The detergent should be mild, but not include bleach. Turn the washer on and watch the water level fill up. Once it’s about ¾ of the way full, put the shoes in. Then let the washing machine do the rest! If you put your Toms in the dryer, the fabric can shrink and rip. Instead, take your shoes out of the washing machine and let them air dry overnight. If you take your Toms out of the washer and they are still stained, spot clean them. Mix together cold water and 2 squirts of a mild dish soap. Dip a soft-bristle brush into the mixture and scrub the stain. Then put your Toms back in the washing machine.
Summary: Set your washing machine to a gentle cycle with cold water. Use 1/4 of a regular dose mild detergent. Let the washer fill 3/4 of the way full. Let your Toms air dry. Spot clean stains.

No winger would be complete without good dribbling and agility. How to build these up? Simple––follow the suggestions in this section. A good place to do it would be in your own home. But please avoid any damage to any thing or person. The more you do, the better your ball control will be. Ball control is essential for dribbling. As for agility, you can do shuttle runs on a weekly basis.  Try to time yourself every time you do it and make an effort to beat your timing at every attempt. Also, you could learn some dribbling moves through viewing tutorial videos on YouTube. You need to be able to cross, pass, and shoot with both feet.  Many of the world's greatest wingers are two-footed and are so dangerous because they are able to cut in and shoot or drift wide and cross.  Work on using you weak foot to control, pass, and shoot the ball.  It may feel awkward at first, but eventually, you will get used to it and it will feel natural.
++++++++++
One-sentence summary -- Increase your agility. Do daily dribbling and movement with the ball in confined spaces. Do lots of turns with the ball and get accustomed to the leg movements. Run. Work on improving your weak foot.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Fill your home with indoor plants to purify the air and increase oxygen in your space. If you have limited room, put plants in the rooms you use the most, like your bedroom and kitchen. If you have pets, research online before purchasing plants to make sure they’re non-toxic. All plants are good at boosting the oxygen in your home, but the following are very efficient:  Aloe English ivy Rubber tree Peace lily Philodendron Snake plant Spider plant Red-edged dracaena Golden pothos Though not scientifically proven, some believe that lamps made from pink Himalayan salt may help to purify the air. They emit a nice pink glow as well. This may not generate enough negative ions to change your environment, but it might help remove some of the toxins in the air around you. Candles made of beeswax don’t smoke when they’re lit, and they don’t release chemicals as they burn. Similar to salt lamps, these candles don’t release enough ions to purify the air completely. However, beeswax candles may be a healthier substitute for more common candles made of paraffin, which usually emit pollutants. You can purchase beeswax candles at your local health food store or online. Never let candles burn unattended.
Summary:
Put plants in your home. Get a salt lamp. Burn beeswax candles.
